I've got a soundcard (m-audio quattro) working on an XP laptop with reaper. Its for live use. I've got a second quattro soundcard, which works seamlessly as a backup, except midi REFUSES to work on it. Everything shows up fine in reaper, NOTHING is sent out of the backup quattro. Any advice?

Its been a while since i posted on these forums but i used to be a regular. Anyway this is my bands new music video, significantly less home recorded that in the past! (Genre: rock/metal/hardcore/who knows) Music was recorded by local engineer gareth thomas-wilkinson. We actually had about 15...

My band have just finished recording our second album. For the first time ever, i've handed it over to someone else to mix. At the mixing engineers request we ended up using 16 mics on drums! I thought it was pretty cool. Below is a video we made as a teaser, obviously its unmixed, this is...

Morning, My bands preparing to record our second release. Last time we used a U87, but i suspect there may be issues with it. The vocal ended up sounding very flat. Heres an example: The Sun Explodes - Dead/Alive - YouTube The time before, we used a very cheap "red5" LDC, but i think the vocal...

I've used fruityloops to program drums for years. I'd like some software that allows me to program in the same sort of way (programming patterns and arranging in a step sequencer kind of affair) but more powerful, aka allow for triplets, ghost notes and whatnot. Have no interest in preprogrammed...

Our drummer uses Shure se215's with a click track. He needs the isolation so he can hear the click, but the Shures isolate too much, he can't hear his drums. Does anyone know of another IEM, or maybe a brand of tip, we can use to give a bit less isolation? They must be the over ear, tie behind...

The Sun Explodes - Dead/Alive - YouTube :)

Hey guys, Been a while since i posted thought i'd share this. As a stop gap between music videos my band have self recorded a (not very good) live video of the next song we're releasing. It's just been recorded in my bedroom with a couple of Iphones and all straight into a rubbish behringer...

Anyone do this? My band currently use a microkorg live, but we're totally out of sounds. Keyboard player has logic/mainstage licence on his home mac, we're considering buying a macbook to run it on and significantly expanding the sounds we can use. Does anyone do this, can anyone offer any...

Morning all! Just thought i'd share what my band are upto on FB. So far this is going very well for us, i thought it might be useful info. Also if anyone on these boards wants to enter it'd be cool :) I'm just copy pasting this info so bare with the tone: My band The Sun Explodes are running...

My bands considering buying one, to do the usual. Click panned hard one way, backing panned hard the other. External trigger to trigger bass drops. Anyone have any experience with this unit like to offer any thoughts/advice/etc?

First single off my bands album, put it on 480p or above and sound quality will be good. Obviously this is all mastered and printed now, i'm just after some thoughts for next time. My thoughts: I think all the guitars and synth turned out alright. The cymbals and the kick im quite happy with...

Our singers just got one. We're wondering how people use it live with its backwards patch organisation. With no screen or labelling system of any kind, the only way to know if you've selected the right patch is to press a key. I dont really understand how Roland thought this was acceptable to be...

I see a lot of bands doing this. Where they just have their cabs on stage. Wondered if anyone knew the thinking behind this. I presume its so all their amps are together for their tech backstage. Is there a limit to how long a speaker cable you can use in a situation like this?

I have a Samson S-control, for individual monitor mixing live. I haven't used it live yet, im wondering what will happen when i take the mono aux feed from a desk and plug it into the stereo mix in? I'm worried it'll just be played on one side, if this is the case i dont understand why they put...

I'm seeing this a lot at the moment, anyone know what it is/where its coming from? Live And Loud: Paramore | Photos | Rock Sound (on the kick)

Wondered if anyone has done this? Have an ESP ec-1000 and i love it except for the position of that switch. I do a lot of tapping and its 100% in the way there. On a so called rock/metal guitar i can't understand why its been left there to be honest.

Its better than the last one! YouTube - ‪The Sun Explodes - Honour Bound‬‏ Synthy prog rock. Greg i await your dissaproval :)

Get on there and like my band. We've been teetering below 1000 likes for ages and we only need 10 more. Oh yeah, albums finished and out too, thanks to Waltz Mastering!

My bands using an intro live that we need a click for. I've got an mp3 player with the click on the left side, and the audio on the right to send to a DI/FOH. The left output isnt loud enough by far even with the mp3 player on full and the audio limited to fuck. Can i use a headphone amp to...
