what is wrong with people (tv show on soundproofing) Just watched an episode on weekend warriors - a home improvement show on HGTV. This guy wanted to turn his detached garage in a populated area into his 'drum studio" for rocking out to CDs. Let's talk about some questionable builind tactics...

So I have read quite a bit about bass absorption, traps etc. and have determined the room I am recording and mixing is has lots of bass problems and standing waves. In addition to it just sounding like mud, and unable to clearly hear, lots of reflections etc., the room BUZZES and rattles like...

Summary: How to you take into account the airspace between the interior wall and exterior wall of an old house? Long Story: I have been a member of this board for years now and have read up on lots and lots of the sound treatment and attenuation techniques and the related construction ideas...

Hey guys - here is my newest mix attempt. Your thoughts are much appreciated. This arrangement had lots of vocals, bass, drums, keys, guitars etc. so it was my first attempt at something beyond my 1 man band stuff. I spent more time with eq and compression in order to carve space out for...

This may be a strange question. I have a piii 700 Dell desktop with Windows 98SE. Over the last year I have noticed that some files have gone missing!! For example, mp3s and movies. When it first started happening a year ago I was connected to the internet and using file sharing. All the files...

Hi all. I have been recording through a laptop for a while now. I am using an RME Multiface with PCMCIA card. I have the PCI card for the multiface as well, and have a PC I would like to install it on. It is a Dell Piii 700 with 384meg ram. I have used this computer for audio as well, just...

Thought I would post this here. I am moving soon and need to consolidate some of my gear. And the wife doesn't want this in the living room! ;) Marshall 1922 Cabinet. Excellent condition. Never gigged and used very lightly. 2 Celestion G12 75 Watt speakers. Closed Back. Versatile. Small...

I have recently for the 1st time recorded some tracks at 24/96. Now I want to export them to wav/mp3 to play in various player and for posting on the internet. When I create a wav w/ a 24 bit depth it won't play on my computer (assume b/c the stock sound card isn't 24 bit). So what do I...

What I would like to do is to feed a guitar track to an effect (soft), flange in this case, but I want to hear only the flange, not the audio. I am trying to create some wow and flutter effects, and other random noises, but don't want any, or at least near inaudible, guitar. When I first got...

I have been working scoring some video and all has been going well with original music. For some of the scenes I wanted to add some prerecorded music from mp3s. When I import them -- very percussion oriented, the waves clip all over the place. In other instances I converted mp3s and would...

I am currently looking at purchasing this for reamping: http://www.littlelabs.com/redeye.html It also says that it works as a passive DI. What exactly are the implications of passive, other than not needing power? On the back is a mic level xlr out. Does this mean that I would still need to...

Hi all. Been using Sonar for over a year now on an ibm t20. No problems. Recently I had to return it and get a new HP 6200 (the lease was up). I am trying to reinstall Sonar 2 xl and I can't seem to configure the internal soundcard properly. I have an external RME Multiface that I haven't...

This may be a dumb question but I have always been confused by balanced and unbalanced wiring. The DMP3 has balanced outs and the Multiface has Balanced I/Os -- soooooo -- I should used balanced connections, right?;) Are these 'special' cables, or the same as I've used for guitar...

Bayview is including some if its "Cascade" mics in various deals. Here is a link. http://bayviewproaudio.com/SpecialSalePage.html I am looking to buy an RME HDSP card and with one of the bundles they are throwing in 2 of the Cascade M-20s. Cascade seems to the Bayview's own brand. Does...

I am trying to set the levels on a track and suddenly the meter tops out at 0. It won't go into clipping. However, when I hit record it obviously clips b/c the signal is too strong. It shows clipping during recording, on playback, but not when the track is armed, before I press record. Did...

I am using a laptop for recording with Sonar. It is working great, but when I try to hook my powered monitors up I get all the sound on one side, a very weak signal on the other and panning chances doesn't do anything. Right now it goes headphone out --> 1/8th inch to 2 1/4 splitter -->...

I have recently really gotten into field recording. Mostly walking around NYC and being able to record the noises of the city. I have been using a stereo mic plugged into my sony digital video camera. The sound quality is excellent but I don't want to carry that around all the time...

Spent alot of time with Sonar 2 this weekend, and been using Sonar 1 since last August. I am just so impressed with the program, and Sonar 2 is such a leap forward. Minor emergencies aside, it has really performed greatly for me and just seems so powerful and intuitive. By day I am a...

This is probably a set up issue but after installing Sonar 2 now when I record a track it records every sound it hears. Track 1 records the input signal but also the metronome. So I turn off the metronome. Then I go to record track 2 and it records track 1 as well as the input setup. I...

Just needed to express my glee about my new purchase -- Danelectro Challenger -- Vintage (Year??) tube amp -- 2 6l6's, 15" speaker, 2 channels, vibrato. Does anybody know anything about these amps? No luck on the web, ebay, harmony central, etc. Only found a few mentions of it. Anyone know...
