    Thinking about getting a vox ac30...

    Well, before I make the plunge and buy one of these things, I'd like to get your opinions on them. From what I can gather on the Vox website ( http://www.voxamps.com/us/customclassic/ac30cc/ ), they have 2 models that I would be interested in. I am interested in the combo models with 2...

    My piano ballad

    http://home.comcast.net/~dajoda2/Requiem.mp3 take a listen. I recorded everything (the drums, piano, and voice) just using my one condenser mic, and I suck at drums, so the drums are very badly played lol. In fact, the drum track is a combination of 2 drum tracks I made (I would never be able...

    Recording in stereo with 2 different microphones

    I want to mic an acoustic guitar in stereo using 2 different condenser mics. Is this a bad idea because I am using 2 different microphones, or can this still acheive good results even though they are not the same type of microphone or a matched-pair?

    Is this clipping?

    Ok, so we recently recorded some drum tracks, and on the drum overhead track, there are certain times, always when there is a cymbal hit, that my friend thinks that some clipping occurs. I think that it is not clipping, and instead it is the sound of the stick hitting the cymbal. My meters...

    How to hear midi in Sonar with Firebox?

    So I put a midi track that I had created elsewhere onto a midi track in Cakewalk, and I wanted the midi track to play while I was recording onto another track in Cakewalk. Once I got the midi track to playback properly using my integrated soundblaster soundcard, but with my Firebox hooked up...

    I can hear the metronome in my recordings

    I was recording in Sonar Cakewalk with my Presonus Firebox. I took the line outs of my keyboard and inputed them into the Firebox, so no microphones were used at all, leaving me perplexed as to how the metronome snuck onto my recording, hehe. I used the audio metronome on cakewalk, and I...

    Listen to my bass track...

    Ok I just finished recording and EQing a bass sample. I'm kind of new at recording, so I'm not sure if this is a decent sound. My setup: Ampeg bass amp into Presonus Firebox, with Sonar Cakewalk. The clips that have the bass amp mic'd are using an SM 57 (not the best for a bass amp, I know...

    Can't get track name to display

    In Sonar 5, it usually has the track name in the bars next to the track number and near the volume, pan, etc controls. For some reason, no track names display for me, and there is not text box in the bar where it should be... how can I get it to display?

    Recording Outside

    My band and I wanted to experiment recording outside, like on my patio. We would just be most interested in experimenting with recording drums outside. We were wondering how this would affect the sound as compared with recording in the basement. When we record in the basement there is a kind...

    Firebox making pops/clicks

    I just received my Firebox yesterday, and I got a chance to try it out today. When I recorded in Cakewalk and played the audio back, it was full of pops. I tried everything suggested in the manual; the latency is set to the highest setting (25 ms), and I set the CPU setting to Lowest. All...

    Will it hurt my firebox to do this?

    If I plug a device with a line level output (like my keyboard) into the inputs on the front of the firebox, will the firebox be damaged? I realize that the 2 inputs on the back are designed as inputs for line level outputting devices, but could the inputs on the front (which have preamps in...

    Someone explain matched pair mics and what recording in stereo is!

    I guess matched pair mics make it so that they will not have any phase issues when you record one source with the two mics, right? So when you record something with the two mics, it comes into your recording software as two tracks. What do you do with the two tracks? Are you supposed to pan...

    Presonus Inspire or Firebox?

    I'm debating which interface to purchase. Both can record 4 instruments simultaneously. This would be good for recording my band's jamming. I would plan to run all the drum mics through a mixer, and put the mixer through one of the two insturment cable inputs. The other instrument cable...

    Worth upgrade from MR8 to Firebox?

    I have a Fostex MR8 recording device, and I have been considering upgrading to a Firebox. Mainly, I am not completely satisfied with the sound quality of the recordings that the MR8 produces, and additionally, it is harder to work with the MR8 in Sonar because you have to import all the files...

    I may finally be ready to buy a keyboard amp... just a few last minute questions!

    First off, consider me a sucker for cheap stuff, so while you may waste your breathe bashing me for choosing behringer, don't bother =P. Now to my questions: currently i use a guitar amp for my keyboard, and i don't like it because it emphasizes my middle notes more than my bass/treble notes...

    I'm thinking of buying this amp http://www.bananas.com/productdetail.asp/pid_8362/productname_Behringer-ULTRATONE-K1800FX from www.bananas.com . They seem to be the only store that has them in stock that i can find from google, and even behringer's website has listed this item as unreleased as...

    My song has the same name as another existing song...

    I just wrote a song that I titled "Dying Days". Upon some googling, i noticed that this was the name of a song by the band Pavement. The lyrics aren't very similar other than that they both have the phrase "dying days". Is it ok to have the same song name, like legally/copyright wise or whatever?
