I recorded a vocal onto a track in Cakewalk 7 and played it back. It was fine a couple of times, but now I can´t hear it. Any ideas why? What did I do wrong?

Thanks guys! I found out about clips a while ago, and I think I understand it now. However, there´s lots to learn.

Pardon a stupid question, but I´m completely new to computer sequencing. How does one "copy" a few bars of drums (or any other instrument) so that they go on for the rest of the song? Can someone help?

Can someone recommend a drum-machine with really good presets? I have the Yamaha QY-10 and am getting really tired of the presets.

Hi dewy! Envy your gear. Be proud! I think you should have your L&R outputs connected to your master machine and the monitor outputs to an amp. That way you can change the levels without destroying your master mix. Is there a separate monitor mix system in your mixer? In that case, this is...

I have the Red-Box and have used it for many recordings in my home-studio. It works best for solos, I think. The rhythm sound is a bit harsh and needs EQ a lot( i.e taking some of the midrange out. NB! To get a distorted sound through the Red-Box you need some kind of preamp in front of it...

I only have little experience recording live bands, but I think you should record the band separately and do the vocals later.Record the band without the compressor. Use the compressor on the vocals using an insert point on your mixer. then record the keys. When mixing down, either compress the...

Have you tried raising the output level of the setting on the POD and lowering it on your computer? alu

Which input on your hifi are you using? Try another one. How have you connected the mixer with your hifi? Which output are you using? If you can raise the volume of the output from the mixer, there should be less noise. Hope this helps you. I have a cheap NAD amplifier connected to my Behringer...

If you already have a mixer, buy the D-90 or the new D-108. I have the D-90 and it works great. Think about how many inputs you need, drum machines, etc. Are the inputs on the FD-8 enough for you? Will they be enough in the future? If doubtful, go with hard-disc recording with a separate mixer...

Hi there William! I think there´s always a noise-problem with low-end compressors, (I have one myself).It is important, though, to get as much signal as possible into the compressor and keep that signal as free of noise as one possibly can. Also, trying a lower setting of compression can help...

Thanx Jim! I´m even more convinced than before. Peace forever. Alu

Thanks a lot for your honest reply, and useful information regarding POD. Maybe I should buy one after all. Alu

Do you use a compressor? If not, do it. Recording the bass directly into the mixing desk sometimes gives a fatter sound. Hope this helps.

A Behringer desk is also fine. Cheaper, but probably not of the same build-quality. My 24-channel Behringer sounds wonderful and has everything I need in a mixer. Lots of people sell their analog desks now, in favor of the new digital ones.

Is anyone NOT satisfied with it? Is it really that good? Glad to hear both sides, please.

Thanx a lot dmcsilva! I´ve thought about trading it for a Fender. Maybe I should keep it,even though I´m not happy with the sound of the humbucker. Can anyone out there recommend a good bridge humbucker with a really fat sound? A Seymour Duncan or such like? How would it sound on the Ibanez 540...

Does anyone know how much this 10-year-old guitar in almost mint condition would be worth on the second-hand market today?

The above message is an answer to Suntag´s question.

With multiple outputs you can send one of the drum voices, for example the snare to a separate input of a mixer. This means you can control the eq and effects settings much better and more easily than in the drum machine.In my opinion, this has helped me get a much better drum sound from a...
