I have a "Soundtracs Solo MIDI" mixing console, an Alesis HD24, and am trying to set up Cubase SX2 to control the MIDI mutes on the board. I'm pretty sure all the MIDI cabling is in the correct order, but I'm having problems! I set up a MIDI channel to record in Cubase, play the song, and...

Hi, I just mixed a recording of a band rehearsing in a local pub (while it was closed) and it turns out that they're so pleased with it that they want to sell some cd's of it. BUT they now want me to put on some applause/cheering as if it were a gig. I can easily do this on the computer, but my...

Hi, my AKG solidtube has started to give me a very annoying, intermittent problem..... Every now and again, say a minute or two apart, it gives out a pretty loud click, sounds a bit like a static discharge....... Anyone have any ideas as to what may be the cause? (It's out of warranty!) Thanks...

I have a few songs to mix, all have this problem: The snare is too loud on the overheads in relation to the cymbal levels! I realise there's no true fix other than to re-record, but has anyone out there ever had any joy with a specific technique please? I thought of maybe using the close mic'd...

I've just bought a Soundcraft 760 2" 16 track machine cheap, and all is cool and it sounds lovely but for one big niggle..... When putting it into play, you have to initially give the reel a helping push with your hand after pressing play or it won't go! After that it's fine! I looked in the...

Hi! Can anyone tell me where I can find good quality photos of old MCI mixing consoles? I have a couple of channel strips loose from years ago, and need to identify which model they came from so I can sell them on e-bay. I know they used to belong to 70's band 'YES'. Any help gratefuly recieved...

Hi! Can anyone explain how the HD24 "project" system works, or rather, how you use it? It doesn't mention it in my manual. I have 46 different songs by four different bands in my "project" but I'm assuming the point of it is to have different "projects" for different bands or something? Can...

Hi, I remember reading something about a mod for the AKG Solidtube here, but having done a search I can't find anything. Anyone know of this mod? It was meant to improve it's sound quality somehow! Sincere replies only Please, we've had all the Solidtube jokes! :-) Thanks.

Hi! I have a song to mix which has a sub-bass kind of synth line running through it AND bass guitar. It's real hard to get them both clear in the mix! Any helpful suggestions? Thanks in advance...

Hi! My problem is this;- When I get a signal into the desk, following the correct gain structure , then send out to my Alesis HD24 via the direct out of that channel, my peak reading on the HD24 meter is about -25dB!! I've tried a hotter input into the desk and maxing the fader, and this does...

Anyone know ANYTHING about how these guys record, where, with who at the controls, pro tools or analog, etc? I'd love to know about how they get that FANTASTIC sound, especially the newer stuff. Cheers!

Well, the ONLY problem I've come accross with this great machine is that it occasionally clicks on punch ins. O.K. I can edit the click out but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem and if there's a cure? Thanks. gez.

Hi all! I have a HD24 which I'm very pleased with, I also have a Soundtracs PC MIDI analouge mixing console with midi muting. The trouble is, I don't use a sequencer, so how can I get my midi muting to work? I do have a pc though and can get pretty much any sequencer if I must, but it would...
