I got a pair of Adam7's with an Adam sub8 connected directly to the monitor outs on the Toft desk. When i play the whole track during mixdown I'm listening through this setup. When i play the mixed-down stereo track (solo'd), it's played through the same desk/monitor setup but doesn't sound as...

Hi, I mix 'out the box' and I'm worried about the quality of the final wav file. Listening during the actual multi-tracks playing back seems to sound better than the final .wav file does. how do I improve that? My setup is: Cubase studio 4 ---> 16 multi trax out M-Audio Delta 1010 (x2) --->...

toft atb16 I've had an alesis desk in my studio. We recorded our first album on it and sounded good, but minimal features. I just bought the toft ATB console... Pricey, but it's superb... sound, features, everything on this console is great (Although I only have the alesis to compare it...

Hi, Just bought a second Delta1010 and wanna make sure that both Delta1010's are synced properly. There's not a whole lot of documentation on this. Can anyone advise on what the best way to do this is? Running Cubase Studio 4 on Windows XP... Many many thanks...

Hiya... Have a look at the Presonus Faderport. It's a single port controller with a whole bunch of features... I bought one and made life so much easier... Worth a look... Cheers, Scoop.

Hiya... We about to start tracking our 2nd album and a crit I have on the last one was the hats are too loud and gets worse when you push the tops on the snare in the mix. Listening to RHCP Dani california the drum sound is GREAT, but how do they keep the hats so quite? Usually track snare with...

Yeah, moved stuff around quite a bit. Tried different amps in different rooms. Best room for guitars was still the main room where the drums were tracked... and you still cant beat that good old sm57 on a marshall... :)

Hi and thanks... :D The Piano is in the control room, the bass and guitar amps were in a seperate room. Same carpets so looks like the same room. :)

Finally finished Well the album is finally finished and getting mastered in Nashville. We have one mastered track back... Take a listen... (Track is called "Here we go"). www.myspace.com/starplayerband

Yes, the tube should "appear" to be glowing red as soon as you turn it on. The reason I say "appear" is because I read somewhere that there is actually a red LED under the tube which makes it appear to glow. I have one of these units and loved it when I first got it, but I outgrew it quickly...

Hi, The drummer actually behaved quite well and only hit what he was told to hit... Not easy to find trainable drummers nowadays... :D Here are some samples of RAW takes from that session... no eq, no comp, nothing. www.starplayer.co.za/mp3/rawdrums1.mp3 www.starplayer.co.za/mp3/rawdrums2.mp3...

:D ;) Actually made a HUGE difference on the Tambo... (Even bigger difference to the foot ... LOL)

Hi Sadistikpro, Work from the mic backwards... 1. Check the input to the Mic Pre isn't over loading/clipping. 2. Check the output isn't either. 3. Check the EMU inputs are overloading. 4. etc... It sound like an input is overloaded and an output is turned down to compensate. I seriously doubt...

Hey cult, I hear what you're saying on the floor tom. Had some fun with it recently. Here are some pics of what I did to get the best result (used a sm58 and it worked out great). Does need a little bit of gate in the mix though. www.puresound.co.za/aok/pics.htm Hope this helps you.

Hey Chef, I bought an NTK about 6 months ago and have been using it for the exact same things you want to use it for. I love mine mine on vocals, acoustic, even room mic for drums (still prefer a 57 on guitar though). BUT! I haven't tried the others. I'm just letting you know that I dont...

Hi, Is this humming noise affected by the level controls on the desk? What I mean is does the hum get louder when you push up your mains faders (or channel faders) or is it constant?

I picked up a distorted rattle from a cab while recording guitars. Spent half a day dismantling the cab, replacing screws, swapping mics, sealing the box, tightening EVERYTHING!!!... Then found my delta1010 inputs were overloading... :o

Hi all... We busy recording our own album at home. So far it's sounding great to us. Raw tracks are sounding really good. this site give a bit of detail on how we're doing it. Maybe it'll help some one... Hope so. Any comments welcome. Any questions welcome too. www.puresound.co.za/starplayer...

Just finished tracking bass for an album using an AUDIX D6 on the rig and Sansamp for direct... They worked great. We'll start mixing in March so that'll confirm how well it worked. Oh and got nice clearity at the top end with the D6.
