    Recording with a Hardware synth

    Well, the MOX6 has both USB and Analog, so i´ll try both for sure and compare. But actually i don´t care AT ALL if i use analog outs or USB, i just want it to sound as good as possible. For me i just want to maintain as much as possible of the "characteristics of imperfection" (as Ponder5 but it...

    Recording with a Hardware synth

    Right, thank you for this input! I did some google searching on "synths digital output" and found a bunch of useful information. Some people say that analog levels might be more loud, but then the respond is; louder yes, but better.... ? no. And also i see people talking about you basically...

    Recording with a Hardware synth

    Well, if it goes directly via USB, it bypasses the Focusrite interface completely. I would assume that converting the signal in the Focusrite is better then going through a USB cable. Ok, what if i put this in another way: What is the primary method for converting the signal from a hardware...

    Recording with a Hardware synth

    Hi! So I'm looking at finally getting some hardware synths after years of recording with disappointing softsynths. First of I'm thinking of getting a Yamaha Motif MOX6 or a MOXF6. But I'm a bit concerned about loss in sound quality when recording. The reason I'm concerned is this statement...

    The correct recording meter??

    Wow, thanks so much both @bouldersoundguy and @sausy1981. Great info from the both of you! I will definitely try setting all of my VI´s outputs so that i peak at around -18 dbfs when recording them. One thing is very certain, i have broken all the "rules" when it comes to headroom. i used to...

    The correct recording meter??

    For existing audio - yes. In logic pro x you can now adjust the gain within the flex-pitch tool. So what you´re saying is record the audio at any dBFS, then adjust it to be around -18 dBFS with clip gain. Then after that compress, make it louder if necessary? I mean you can´t adjust the level...

    The correct recording meter??

    So lower the volume-fader on the track with the VST until you´re recording around -18 dBFS? Is it even certain that you have to do this with VST´s? I´ve heard that the -18dBFS is to maximize the input of an external source, and that it had something to do with the conversion process of that...

    The correct recording meter??

    Hi! So i just got the K-meter demo from Audio Pluggers, and i need some help confirming or dismissing my understanding of how the correct levels work when recording and monitoring. The plugin comes with a K-12, K-14 and a K-20 setting, which i assume is the equivalent to -12 Dbfs, -14 Dbfs and...

    Royalty-free samples / loops ?

    Thank you! What about sounds that you use from virtual instruments (synths, piano, strings etc.)? Are they also royalty-free ? I own and use Synplant for instance, do they get a cut of my music cuz i used their synth in my track?

    Royalty-free samples / loops ?

    Hi! I am wondering what this actually means? I am looking in to getting some sample-packs with SFX's like risers, swells, uplifters etc., but i am wondering about if they are royalty-free if u buy them or if you have to clearify with the producers of the sample-packs everytime u use their SFX's...

    Hardware Synth/Workstations Vs. RTAS/VST Synth plugins?

    Right, but you can still record it as audio direct from the Yamaha? From the R & L outputs? That´s what i really want. I print all my MIDI to audio inside Pro Tools anyway.. would be great to skip that and record it direct as audio. But what about the quality of sounds? Is it worth laying down...

    Hardware Synth/Workstations Vs. RTAS/VST Synth plugins?

    Hi! i just wanted your opinions on this topic. Are there any major differences between the two, and is it worth the money? I´ve been using RTAS plugin synths like Omnisphere, Synplant, Xpand 2 etc. for a while now, but after listening to some demos of the Korg Krome 61, Korg Kronos 61, Roland...
