So I was reading on the forums about some people using one mic to sing into and sending that mic to a cab. Then recording the sound from the cab and sending it to the mixer. I've been trying for about an hour now and I can't get good recording levels at all because when I turn up either the...

Hey, what's up guys? I've got a question about midi double bass. I use DFH2 and a Korg K25 midi controller to do all the drums on my songs. Anyway, with my old computer I was able to change the chorus/echo around to get a tight double bass sound. I could hit the key once and it would give me...

Hey, guys! It's been a while, but I have another question. I figured I did a good job mixing the last song I recorded, the levels were pretty low and there wasn't any distortion at all, everything "mixed" well. But when I got to increase the all around volume at the mastering stage I can't...

When using DFH as a VST in Sonar, do I need to load seperate instances of DFH per drum sample? When I try using a multi kit I can only get the 1st sample I load to register and play via MIDI keyboard. The mapping for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th instrument shows up in DFH, but no sound is played when I...

I recently started using MIDI with Sonar 4. It has been about 3 weeks since I last picked up my MIDI controller and messed around with it though. So today I plug the controller in and set everything up in Sonar and I get the key strokes to show up in the sequencer but I'm not getting any...

Hello everyone! I was wondering what the best way to record midi drums would be? I'm using a m-audio midi controller, DFH, and Sonar 4. I have no experience with midi drums and was wondering if I would set the channels up like I would if I was recording real drums with separate micing for the...

Hello, everyone. Basically when I record a distorted guitar track I get this background noise. At first I thought it was just the mic picking up noises from my poorly setup recording room. But I played wit the high frequency pot on my mixer and it goes away after I cut the high frequencies by...

Hello, guys. I've been getting a lot of dropouts when using two or three Dxi plug-ins of Guitar Rig in Sonar 4. I have a 2.4 GHz processor with 480 MB of RAM. I already know what the problem is, I'm running out of resources. The CPU % meter at the bottom of Sonar will climb steadily from 30%...

I'm trying a new setup on my MX2442A. It works perfectly if I hook up my 1/4 to RCA to the input on the card. I tried using the sub IN's/OUT's. I get a signal on Sonar when I use the sub IN but the meters on my mixer don't work. I don't get a signal in Sonar when I use the sub OUT. Am I...

My friend has a friend who is a DJ, faders, mixers, cuts, scratches, etc. Anyway, he wants me to help him record some stuff for his college radio station. What would be the best way to do this? Micing HIS monitors or running a line out from his mixer to the line in on my mixer?

In my recording room, I have a Marshall DFX250 because the room is about 10x10'. We tried using 4x12 cabs with a buddy's 100w Marshall head and it was just too damn loud. We got a lot of bouncing frequencies from the walls. Anyway the 250 is just right for the small space. About two months...

I just started double micing my stuff and I found the spots for the mics that sound the best. So when I'm at the mixing console and sequencer, do I record both mics to one audio channel? Or do I record them to their own channels?

I've been researching which preamp I should buy for the last week. I know the "best" is pretty much based on opinion but I just can't decide what I should buy. I've determined I want a two channel preamp. I eBay everything I buy so my eBay budget is around 350$ which translates to around...

Basically the hiss that I'm getting from my amp. I don't know if I have my amp and pedals settings too high or if it's just there because I'm not running anything in a rack to get rid of the hiss. I pretty much just got into this so I'm still oblivious to a lot of the equipment and tricks of...

I was wondering if anyone has a possible solution to my problem. When I'm recording my guitars what I hear with my ears is pretty clear and definable. But when I playback what I've recorded it's all kind of "mushed together" the cord and note changes aren't as definable as they should be...

Since figuring out how to set my audio card's drivers to ASIO I have to now playback with my monitors. I don't know if I have them hooked up wrong or what... From the red and white output on my sound card I have an RCA cord going into the tape IN on my mixer. Then I have the monitor cord...

So..I figured I'd tackle one thing at a time. First seting up my recording stuff, then configuring my software. Now I need to know what the best bang/buck drum hardware/software/modules there are out there. I had a PDP kit a while ago but I sold it. It was just a small 5 peice. So I'm...

I looked for an answer in the microphone thread but everyone said it's most likely not a problem with my microphone setup. I get a constant noise which can be described as up above. Someone said it could be my latency is too low. It's set at 512. I upped it to 768 and even tried lowering it...

I started recording again this time with a behringer mx2442a. It's brand new been used like 3 other times. The thing is when I record I get this like ticking, craclking noise. I have a pop filter over the head of the mic and a pop screen on the mic stand neck. So I'm really clueless as to...

Over a year ago I posted here asking questions about how to set up a new mixer that was loaned to me. I used a small Behringer mixer for about half a year when I was given a Behringer MX2442A console for a while. Due to personal issues I never set it up. So I guess I'm here now to ask the...
