    New song - "Perfect Day"

    It's here: http://www.thesixtyone.com/#/simulache/song/Perfect+Day/50813/ I'm debating whether or not to make the synth bass mono instead of stereo, since I think making it stereo muddied it up. Either that or my EQ'ing of the bass is screwy. Anyways, thanks in advance for any feedback/ideas...

    compressing MIDI velocities

    Is there a way to compress MIDI velocities either as you're inputting with a MIDI keyboard or rendering a new take with compressed velocities? I've tried using JS_MIDI_Vel_Ranger, but it doesn't seem to do anything when I add it as an effect on a track.

    Controlling Micron with another MIDI controller

    i'm considering getting an emu xboard 49 to use with my alesis micron. i've found that having only one knob to navigate the tiny lcd screen is kind of tedious, especially since i'm trying to learn how to make my own programmed sounds from scratch. and it takes a lot of time for me to scroll to...

    Davide Di Saro

    I'd posted a thread in the MP3 mixing clinic, then realized I should've posted here, although the more people who learn about this guy the better. Is there a way to unlock a thread? I thought closing the thread would remove it. I should've left the thread in the MP3 Mixing Clinic open. This guy...

    Really cool Italian Canadian artist (didn't know where else to put this)

    There should be a section for music recommendations. You can get his entire discography for free from here: http://www.davidedisaro.com/ He's basically a 1-man band who also does all of his own animation/direction for his music videos. If you've heard of Chad VanGaalen, I think you'd like this...

    Recording direct in and miked simultaneously?

    Is it possible for me to record my Roland Cube 15 direct in and miked simultaneously if I have a Presonus Firebox? Once I plug in the recording out of my amp, there's no sound from the amp. Or do I have to do it separately?

    Hum when I turn up tone knob

    I have a Roland Cube 15 and a Yamaha Pacifica 112. Would a Behringer hum destroyer eliminate this hum? My Roland Cube has a 2 prong, not a 3 prong cable. Is this the reason why it hums, or is it just a case of having a single coil guitar?

    DMP3 or TubePre if I have a Firebox? And how would I connect them

    I'm looking to get an external preamp, since I'm not looking to totally ditch my Firebox yet. Oh yeah, and I also want to try recording vocals with a dynamic mic (I've attempted with an SM57, but I don't get enough gain, even with the boost in the PreSonus mixer. Would I just need a TRS cable...

    using yellow tools independence free as a plugin

    I recently re-downloaded this free software sampler to use as a VST plugin for Reaper. One thing I haven't figured out how to do, or if I can even do at all, is route all the layers to the 24 MIDI tracks that Reaper (and Cubase) create whenever I create a load an Indie Free VST into an...

    Getting weird hissing and static from Firebox after upgrade to Vista 64 drivers

    I used to have it on an Windows XP desktop, but recently got a new Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop, no firewire included, so I had to get a Texas Instruments 34mm Expresscard. I assumed that since I have a laptop now, I should make sure to plug in the Firebox to an external power source. I read...

    when is the naiant x-v coming out, and what applications will it be used for?

    Would they work for stereo miking an acoustic guitar? I've tried the x-q's and the high end was making my cedar top sounding thin.

    xiosynth - guitar direct in capability?

    Looking at the specs, it says that it also functions as an audio interface. Does this mean I still need an amp to record electric guitar DI? I'm new to recording electric guitar.

    Is there some sort of special stand or shockmounts I need to record in stereo with two large diaphragms?

    using beat detective

    I've figured out how to get the first four measures of a song to display the correct beats, but how do I apply it to the rest of the song?

    Thinking of getting my first electric guitar and amp

    I'm considering either a Godin LG P90 or a Yamaha Pacifica with either a Crate Palomino V16 (15W) or a Vox AD50VT (50W). The weird thing is that the 50W amp is cheaper. Is it because the Palomino is tube, while the Vox is tube modeling? I'm also considering a Crate V Series amp, though I'd have...

    Can improper phantom power procedure damage condensers?

    I haven't been keeping track these past few months I've begun recording, but are you not supposed to take out the mic while the phantom power's still on? The proper procedure is to power it on after plugging in and powering off before, right? Have I been doing any serious damage if I've done it...

    Are there any 4 tracks with phantom power?

    I'm just wondering. If I get into analog, I'll either have to get a phantom power box or use a battery powered condenser like Rode NT3 or dynamic mic.
