Hello all, I am looking for a cheap way to shift the pitch of vocals down 2 or 3 octaves without losing too much sound quality. I need an effect that will also work live. I demo'd an guitar octave pedal today with a mic plugged in (a BOSS 0C-3) and it was the right idea but really muddy...

hey, i am switching my previous recording pc to be a homework machine as i have a new laptop and i cant get the built-in sound to work. PLEASE HELP! i need to have my homework music back. its a dell PC running windows XP. before i had a delta 44 connected to it, everything worked fine. the...

Hey I am using a firebox into macbook pro. the new macbook pros cannot start the firebox with bus power only...once it gets going from the AC adapter, the bus power will keep it going, but cant boot it up. a huge piss off for portable/field recording. anyways, if anyone else has this...

just when i thought i had it all figured out... i am using a midi controller into my firebox midi ports, into cubase sx. works great. it also works smoothly as a controller in reason. however, when i try to have reason rewired into cubase, the midi wont work for reason anymore (but works for...

hey, i just got a firebox, and i cant get the midi to work. the breakout cables connected, the controller's working, but nothings happening. anyone?

Hey. I am currently using a Delta-44, but am poised to switch to laptop recording. Due to budgetary constraints, I am considering downsizing to a 2-channel firewire interface like the Presonus Firepod or MBox. I have a feeling i might miss the extra channels at some point and want to upgrade...

this is a very simple question, but i think it will be a quick answer for someone who knows cubase well. simpler than me poring over the documentation for hours. just wondering how to edit left or right channels individually for stereo tracks. for example, i tracked a guitar a LITTLE louder...

Hi. i have recently realized i was recording too hot, and now record at what seems to be the generally accepted level (around -21 or -18). obviously, this is quieter than i am going to want for the finished product (i think final mixzes should peak close to 0db, n'est-ce pas?).....by the way...

Hi....I got bored and decided to overlay fleetwood mac's "go your own way" with some gangsta rap (a noble cause I'm sure you will agree). I am having problems.... to find the beats i'm using hitpoints or some jazz, and then adjusting the tempo with time stretch until it is a known BPM....then...

Just finished mixing a song, and it won't let me mix down! it says "an error occured during mixdown".....same problem for every file type. does anyone know how to fix this? i tried rebooting, etc, but it isn't helping. thanks.

Hi I'm new to cubase. I'm trying to get a delay with lots of feedback in sync with a song. It's recorded to a click track rewired from reason, so tempo is consistant. the problem is i cant get the delay quite right...i'm using the fx-2 double delay VST plug-in. it seems like it cannot be...

I am having a problem with my preamps. i have two Art Tube MP's (the $60 tubes), which have primitive peak meters. anyways, the clip limit light goes on all the time even though the VU meter is hardly charting (at around -10). this occurs when i set the ouptut gain to unity, and then bring...

I just got a used epiphone and plugged it in to find (to my dismay) static! why? i have figured out it is not the patch cord or amp. also does'nt seem to be the socket (or whatever you call the thing that recieves the patch cord) the static is only audible when the guitar is being played, and...

Up till now i have been recording mostly acoustically, but i am feeling the need to freak out a bit.... I have tried various direct input setups (combinations of distortions, amp modellers, mixers) but it sounds (obviously) like shitty DI distortion. So today i miked up my amp with my two...

Does anyone have suggestions to cut down on getting tracks leaking into each other? for example, there is always a tiny bit of guitar in the vocals, or sometimes one guitar will come into another guitars mic. i know it is inevitable unless one is in a proper studio, but how can i cut it down...

when i am monitoring or recording i get a weird highfrequency pitch that sort of swirls around. i can sort of eq it out, but i dont want to lose control of the equalizer. also, i think i once picked up radio or a cordless phone or something...there was an audible voice. it seems to only...

Just upgraded to cubase from cool edit (finally!) so your patuence/help is appreciated. i'm noticing that the level meter (in the bottom control bar thing) is not "live" but is delayed about a half second. also, when i press play or record there is a delay between when i press button and when...

Hi. I am trying to get vocals sounding a touch distorted....think of the vocal sound used by the swamp of garage revivalists (strokes, white stripes, yeah yeah yeahs) i am thinking maybe i will need to buy external equipment, but i thought i would check. anyone know how to do it in cool edit...

hey, i have been playing acoustically only until a week ago when i got an elec/acousitc, so forgive my ignorance. I have a 60 watt amp and i am trying to find out if it is possible to headphone it, and also to record DI through it (to mixer to computer). the only output i see on the back is...

basically what i am wondering is what part in the signal chain gives the most unwanted noise. I am recording from mic -> mixer(preamp) -> sound card. within the mixer i can adjuct gain for the mic channel as well as a fader for the mic channel and a fader for the overall mix. i can adjust...
