    Monitors ?

    Hi, I agree with noisedude in you need a better soundcard in the chain but if you have a Sblive, you can improve it very much by visiting: www.kxproject.com They have developed a driver for your card that includes ASIO and will make the SB work at it's limits. I had a Sblive once apon a time...

    Stupid question about ASIO Drivers

    Hi, I have and use Sonar Producer 3.1 with kX Project ASIO on an Audigy 2 ZS soundcard. The advantage of ASIO, for one, it should play back, with effects on ( called live input, input monitoring, etc. ) at very low latency. I have a setting of 5.33 Ms @48000/16 bit. This is nearly realtime and...

    Which Recording Software Do You Use and Why Did You Choose It?

    hi, I have many different softwares and use the sonic foundry ( now sony ) products quite often because of their ease of use and driver compatibility. Have been using sound forge for mastering a very long time. I have wavelab 4 but still seem to always end up in the forge. I think one of the...

    hi, give the fostex powered monitors a listen if you can. I have a pair of fostex pm .o5's which have 40/30 watt dual power amps in each one and I think for just under $300 US per pair that they are very nice. baba

    very confused

    hi, you need a preamp to get good results with the guitar and mics. I use a small behringer 6 channel mixer to get in and out of the sound card. the mixer serves as a break out box and has preamp gains. musicians friend has these small mixers for just over $50 US. granted, these are not the...

    Insert vs Send/Return Effects

    hi, I know the feeling of recording taking all the time and other things getting in the way! when you use an effect as an insert on one single track, it will only be available for that track. when you use a send/return effect it will be available to any track that you assign it to. in other...

    vocals

    hi, I'm not sure what you mean by 'not connected' but here is a little trick I often use that works when the effect plugins seem to not get it. Manning1 posts some great articles on this board so I copied this technique from one of his posts since it explains in detail how to do this: 2. on...

    a swampy rock tune.... "Bat's Brew"

    no, sadly I was not blessed with o'reilly as a last name, I was raised by mountain gorillas and named after the sounds I uttered as an infant, example: baba, dada, mama, wah.. wah, etc. Being the kind and simple creatues that they were, they went with my first words, baba...thats it...really!

    Eery echoes...

    hi, I think you may be recording with monitor input on. If this is the case and your soundcard is sending a line out to your monitor/headphones, you are actually hearing two signals, one in realtime and dry, and one with some latency sent by your recording software. If you use the software to...

I have not put a real bass track on this yet because of grunged up rotosound bass strings on my bass, ( our bass player likes my bass and also likes fried...

    How can I listen through the headphones when recording?

    hi, I have a 6 channel behringer that has rca connectors for in's and out's to my audigy 2 zs. headphones are controlled by "control room" pot along with my monitors which are fostex pm .05's. when recording, it makes sense to turn the levels down on the back of the fostex monitors so there is...

    is there a BIG difference between a sbLive and recording card?

    hi, I use an audigy 2 zs and also have access to a system with a delta 66. I have recorded with both. I have been able to get astonishing results with the audigy, at least for what it really is speced at, but the delta 66 has far better d/a a/d converters and better stable drivers. I'm...

    ??? Need help finding the right software for my needs!! ???

    hi, take a look at acid 4.0 by sonic foundry. there is a demo on sony's media website. acid is not a .wav file or audio editor like cooledit but it's strength is in building music with loops and pre recorded sound files. it can load many different types of files and version 4 has a piano midi...

    The more I learn, the less I know

    i see, but if time is a factor to record these songs the right way, it may pay to have them recorded in a pro studio now and reap the rewards of a professional cd to go with your bands promo. if your band is tight and your songs well rehearsed, your studio cost would not be that great and the...
