I thought I would just run the keys through the computer, via cubase, via the appropriate vst instrument,but this is proving difficult.It's too tricky to...

    Changing the pace

    Hey Mixies, Is there a way to speed up a wav file. I'll explain. I've recorded a song but I want the tempo to be a bit faster. I don't mind if the pitch goes up a bit. In the olden days you could make the tape player go faster = tempo up and pitch up. Can you do that digitally. I have cubase...

    Strings Only or pickups too

    Hey Guys, My cousin has a right hand electric setup for a left hander (him). Would the pickups have been turned around as well as the restringing upside down, or just the strings. I want to change it back to a right hander (me). UTSMAN

    Why do I need a boost

    Hey Mixies, Just need some advice. When I compare my mixdowns to my favourite commercial mix as a comparison(O.K Computer), I always need to Boost around 1400-2500 Hz to make it sound "closer" to the eq of that track. This comparison is done by ear and by frequency analysis. On the chart all...

    Cutting in close

    Hey Cubies, a problem my cousin is having. When he tries to cut a piece of audio with the scissors, it will only cut at an increment, not anywhere in between. I hope you know what I mean. Along the top of the tracking window there are little bars. He can only cut on one of those bars. For me I...

    Anyone High passing their bass

    I have heard from some of you muso dudes that you need to cut of bass guitar below 60 - 100 hz(depending on bass and pre amps) because those low frequencies can mud up the bottom end. I can't tell the difference except I must turn up the fader if I do cut them off.I suppose it depends on the...

    Is there anything I can use to bring my master volume up without it clipping. I have heard that you want NO clipping EVER. If I do this my total output volume is not that high. Is clipping really that bad if you can't actually hear it? UTSMAN
