I have an Intel Macbook and an old Mbox (pro tools 6.x). I don't want to use pro tools on my new macbook but i do want to use the mbox. Do I have to buy the pro tools 7 update to be able to get mbox core audio to work on the macbook?

I'm going to be recording a band live in a few weeks. I have a Macbook, Logic Pro, and a MOTU 8 channel interface. Their vocals and guitars will be coming out of a PA but their drums won't be miked. I want to multitrack everything so I can mix it later. Obviously I'll record the drum...

I'm working in Cubase and I'm recording and editing a project for someone but they are having another person mix the project, so the mixing dude needs all the tracks. Is there a way for me to output each of the tracks individually or do I have to go through and manually solo and bounce each...

I know these machines are no longer current, but I'm in need of a mobile recording setup ASAP and from what I'm told cubase won't be ready for the new macs until the end of the year (before anyone suggests it i'm not buying a new laptop and paying full price for new software). Anyway i was...

points for clever title? Anyway I'm having a major problem and I'm hoping some of you have experienced it and have figured out a way to deal with it. I have this problem where a session file opens one day and the next it doesn't work. The place it gets stuck is when the dialog window showing...

First off, thanks to those who helped me figure out that group channels in cubase can function like busses in Pro Tools. The reason I was asking was so I could figure out how to do an easy way this cool little trick from Pro Tools (and analog boards) in Cubase. In the mastering stage, this...

Is there a way to set up internal busses in cubase? For example in pro tools you can send audio to a bus and not just an effect. In pro tools, one could set up his own MS decoder. Can we do that in cubase?

Something weird is happening I'm recording a CD for a female a cappella group and something weird is happening. when 2 girls sing the same harmony together, i'm getting a weird sort of ring modulation sound. this only happens when both parts are panned center. it doesn't happen when they are...

If there is anyone out there who has an 896HD and a G5 powermac I am in desperate need of some help - I can't even get past installation and MOTU is not being very helpful...

Here's something I've been thinking about. Have you noticed how in lots of pop recordings it sounds like one track of the singer panned center during the verses and then during the chorus, the sound expands? The sound will be doubled or more and spread over the stereo image. Do people do this...

Has anyone used the new saffire from focusrite (firewire/8 preamps)? I'm wondering how this will compare to the firepod. I have never owned a piece of presonus gear that i've liked (except the HP4 headphone amp which one day mysteriously started burning up and giving off smoke)...So - saffire...

http://homepages.nyu.edu/~jms782/The%20City.mp3 i've been on the board for a while and have been doing home recording for a bit longer, though i've never posted in the mixing clinic, so i'm interested in getting some feedback from strangers about my work. thanks all.

I’m working with a producer who is currently mixing this track – he says the drums are a little weak and thin and he wants to fatten them up by adding drum samples. I’ve definitely read before about people using recorded material (hi hat, kick, snares etc) to trigger samples. What’s the best...

Ok maybe not the strangest, but it must be dealt with. I'm in SX 3 I recorded a whole bunch of demos and for some reason whenever I open a file before it pops on the screen a window appears that says "the samplerate has been changed to 44100." i click ok, and the pitch is shifted up a few...

I have a bunch of waves plug-ins (the rennaisance package) that i run in cubase. they are working except that the graphic meters within the plugs aren't showing anything, so for example i'm having trouble setting a threshold for my compressor because i can't see how much gain a track is sending...

Does anyone here use Max/MSP?

I live in an apartment in a very busy section of New York. It seems as though most of the street noise is coming in through the window facing the street. I think if stop that somehow I will considerably lower the amount of noise in the room. any suggestions? will towels work or is there any...

i don't know where else to ask this, but this is where the smart ones hang out so here goes. i own an MP3 player thats not an IPod - its an IRiver, which except in this particular instance are much more convenient than IPods. I ripped a couple of CD's into MP3 with ITunes and want to put them...

I'm having this problem in BFD. Sometimes when I mixdown drum tracks, the software renders a wave in which cymbals cut off before their natural decay ends. It has made BFD (and everything I use it in) useless. I've done everything their website suggests to optomize performance and took...

I'm working on a project and I need to have it so that the end of one track and the beginning of the next track flow into each other - in other words the sound doesn't stop but the track number changes. how can i do this? I know you can set your computer up to put no space between tracks when...
