    Any reason to use Firebox input over usb?

    Hi all. I recently purchased a keyboard with MIDI. The keyboard has no MIDI connectors, but rather a USB connector. I have a MIDIMAN, but I think its strictly MIDI-->USB, and not the other way around (could be wrong). So anyway, is there any reason to connect the keyboard straight into the...

    Help understanding what all this software does...

    Ok, so I'm a Cubse LE user, and recently decided to at least start looking at the "big boy" software. It turns out this stuff is way harder to understand than I would have thought, but after much reading I think I have it somewhat clear. So, hopefully some of you can help me out with this...

    Suggestions for a basic keyboard

    "Open Source" songs/files?

    Hi all, I'm wondering... is there a way to get unmixed recorded music files? Not from a major band or anything, just songs that need mixing and are just basic recorded files. I'm wondering cause I'd like to do more mixing, but I don't have a way of recording much at the moment. They'd have to...

    Reverb in reverse

    This quote is from Frusciante describing the recording of Stadium Arcadium. I think I mostly understand the process, but I have a question on the bolded part. Here's how I figure the basic signal chain goes: Guitar ------>tape running forward | |...

    Firebox, RND, and mixer- help my signal chain!

    So, I was reading about compressors over at tweakheadz site, and saw that I might have a problem. I plan on adding a FMR RNC (really nice compressor) to my setup. But, it needs to be added before the firebox if I plan on putting it compressed to track (which I do for certain uses, vocals in...

    limiter and compressor help

    I've decided a compressor would be a good investment for my tiny studio. Sounds like the RNC is hands down what I'd want to get. From what I know on this, it can also be used as a limiter, right? But, is it suggested to run a limiter and a compressor in the chain? If so, what kind of limiter...

    Some great info from a different site

    As a poster here suggested, I began reading up on gain stages, harmonic distortion, etc. to understand what's actually going on in that amp of mine. After reading some very useful articles, I found this post at a different forum and thought it was a great read. Check it out, it covers SO much...

    cubase le to protools - importing wavs

    So, I recorded a project on my own equipment using cubase le. I've done my basic audio edits, and have bounced those tracks to create wav files I want to import into a protools session at my school.

    Head/cab vs combo... whats the benefit?

    So, other than being able to mix and match the head with other cabs, whats the benefit over that and a combo amp? I'm looking to sell my "starter" amp (a carvin 100w combo) for something else. I'm leaning towards orange amps, but that's all not really the point of this post. What I want to...

    Portable stereo mic recordings

    I'm looking to do some portable sound capturing, not recording actual musical performances necessarily, but getting 'sounds'. I'd like to be able to capture this in stereo, so 2 mic inputs would be necessary, as well as phantom power if the mics need it. I currently use a laptop with a...

    WTF... Cubase LE mixing help please!

    I just got home from recording at a friends using my firebox, and got my stuff hooked up to my monitors to do some editing. But cubase isn't playing back any audio when I open the file. I can get songs (not the recorded files) to play in windows media, so I know everything is physically...

    Drum and Bass Softsynths

    What would you guys suggest I use for realistic bass and drum sounds? I don't have a midi controller yet, but plan on getting a CME UF6. This would be my first soft synth purchase, and my music style is mainly rock/blues. Price is an issue, so the cheaper the better, but it's always nice if...
