Right on! Some of those bigger features would be nice, but don't forget these little UI touch-ups that would be sooo nice.

I use a seperate XP login for recording, with different preferences and a batch file to close down all unneeded services. It works well for me.

I recently chose to go with hardware (M-One) over software for a few reasons: 1. Hearing changes immediately as I turn knobs helps out a lot over stopping playback, making an adjustment, starting again, over and over... 2. Someday (hopefully), my budget will be a little higher, and I may...

You should try making use of CEP's ability to do effects in real-time in multi-track view. When you want to put some reverb on a track, just click the little FX button for that track and add a reverb effect. As oppossed to making changes in Edit View, this doesn't actually alter the .wav file...

http://www.shop4tech.com/ They have free shipping offers pretty often, and when they do, I like to pick up those 100-packs for $16.99 or so. They've worked well for me. 100 Jewel Cases usually costs about $14.00, but usually at least 4-5 show up cracked.

I've been doing the same thing, and it's not that dragging two dozen points down a half-inch before I get started is a terrible task by any means. As a software developer, though, I notice little things that kind have been very easily done in the software to take away these minor...

Guitar Center.

You know what would be great? Seeing this article somewhere other than on a website devoted to recording professionals/enthusiasts. I think that article is pretty clear and down to earth, and pretty close to understandable by Joe Average, possibly with a little explanation added and a few...

I was in Grand Rapids yesterday, purchasing a Neutrik patchbay. It cost me twice as much as the AP, but after plugging it in and having it work without all the cable-jiggling, I'm twice as happy, so that kind of works out. :) I work as a computer programmer -- recording's just a hobby. I...

This annoys me as well. I find a spot I want to turn up, and I have to move the whole envelope down, then turn the track volume up, then put in the changes. Not a hassle until I've got several volume changes in already, and find I need to turn it up higher than I have room for with that...

I was just complaining about my AP patch bay in another thread. IMHO it is a piece o' junk. If I push a plug all the way into the jack, I don't get a good connection -- I only get it working when I push the plug in about 95% of the way and do a little jiggling. :mad: I just noticed you're...

Man, does that save my butt sometimes! :D My worst night was recording a band while they were performing a gig in a small bar, and a fuse blew halfway into the first set. The owner of the place couldn't find the fuse box :rolleyes: and just told us to plug in to another circuit. So, with the...

I have no idea what the sound quality of a dbx 566 is like, but for the sake of argument I'll just assume it's at least as good as/maybe better than the software compressor. So, if I had the $600 and that choice to make, first of all, I wouldn't get the Behringer, the choice would simply...

When plugging into either the front top or bottom jack breaks the chain from the top rear to the bottom rear jack, that's normalled. Half-normalled means the connection is broken only when something is plugged into the bottom front jack -- plugging into just the top front jack causes the...

I turn on my computer and start up Cool Edit Pro. I click on "Open Session" to begin working on whatever it is that I'm working on, and CEP asks me if I want to save changes to default.ses. Since I haven't made any changes, I answer No. I get to the Open File dialog and select the session I...

Shaun SS, The link cordura21 provided pretty much gives your firewire options, but for recording with a laptop, you do have another option: PCMCIA. There are audio interfaces from both Echo audio (http://www.echoaudio.com) and RME (http://www.rme-audio.com) that use a PCMCIA slot. I use my...

The Echo Mia has 2 ins and 2 outs, but they're balanced 1/4", not XLR. SPDIF output is also available. I'm pretty happy with my Echo hardware (Layla), so you might want to look into the Mia at http://www.echoaudio.com. Brand new price is typically around $180.

As a recording rookie trying to improve my knowledge I try to read as much as possible. I've noticed there are several magazines available for everyone from the home recording enthusiast to the professional engineer. So, which magazines do you consider worth reading, and which are crap? Which...

Thanks for the explanation! So, if I understand correctly, the first attack/release set of controls would be the traditional attack/release found on most compressors, determining how quickly gain is adjusted, and the 2nd set help determine when it kicks in, kind of like a look-ahead time?

On the 3rd tab of the Dynamics Processing effect, there are two seperate Attack and Release settings. What is the difference between the two Attack settings and the two Release settings?
