If you use XP I don't see how you wouldn't find Windows 7 just so much more superior. It's like XP, just better. And faster. And easier to use. And more powerful. And better looking. It's just...better. Cheers :)

The Lynx has an option slot that accepts either a Firewire or USB card to connect to your computer. The other and more robust option is to get the Lynx AES16e card and connect to your computer via AES/EBU. Lynx makes specialised cables for this. In that case the AD/DA converter acts as a...

Lots of gated reverb there. Otherwise it's a standard, smashed rock drum sound to my ears. Cheers :)

Yeah, if balanced cable run was an issue, people wouldn't have been able to use 100' mic snakes at concerts for the last half a century or so. Unbalanced? Yes, that's another story. Unbalanced cables pick up interference and more resistance over long distances which impacts the tone...

Ah, the old compression chestnut. Me personally? I compress what needs to be compressed but I do tend to compress the drum buss, vocals and bass on a regular basis. I don't compress individual drums often but will occasionally if I think it needs it. I don't usually compress distorted...

First of all, have you made sure your clocking is correct? You can not connect two digital devices together without assigning one as the master clock and the other as slave. You need to either sync your audio interface to the incoming clock from the ADAT or send an ADAT cable back to the...

Oh, the other thing is, you can zoom in on any part of a Mac screen by holding CTRL and using the mouse wheel. Cheers :)

I wonder if you can adjust the font sizes in System Preferences while using the HDTV at 1080p? Never tried it before but you can do it in Windoze. Cheers :)

You can. You can even use a Band Hero kit if you want. haha Cheers :)

I recorded 16 tracks with a Centrino 1.6 laptop, 512MB of RAM and a Fireface 800 with no issues. To an external drive. Yeah, I know. I'm a badass! Livin' on the edge, baby! Cheers :)

Put the selector cursor over the bottom left or right of the event (region) and slide left or right. No need to insert silence as you won't get any noise if there isn't an event on a track. Just cut, edit and use small fades. Cheers :)

I use a lot of free plugins. Once you get over the hype and just listen, you'll see that there are some very good free plugins that stand up to commercial ones. The Variety of Sound plugins are great, SIR is great (if you can find good impulses), the Antress Modern Range is great. If you...

If you want to get into building plugins, Synthmaker might be a good place to start. Many of the good free VSTs are made with Synthmaker. I don't have any experience with it, but I'm sure you can find some tutorials. There might be some on their site: SynthMaker - Modular VST and DSP Visual...

It's all wrong. The transients are squashed to death with too much multiband compression, the top end is searing my ears and the API is pumping. The S1 is WAAAAAY to wide and the L2 is squeezing the last dying breath out of what was once dynamic and punchy! DOOOOOOOD. PLEEAAASSSE. Ease up...

Yeah if you're on the Windows VST platform there are tons of free, great sounding plugins you could make an entire record with. In fact, I could probably make an entire record with VOS (Bootsy) plugins alone. The Antress stuff I haven't touched in ages and now with the Eventide Ultrachannel...

Insert a compressor with a sidechain into the bass track. Go the kick track, enable one of the sends and assign the send to the side chain input of the kick compressor. Set the send to unity (0dBfs). Set your compressor to get the desired amount of compression, keyed by the kick. Voila...

Who was slagging it off? It has it's bugs and I deal with them. I have been using Cubase for 14 years and it's still my main DAW. I love it, but that doesn't mean that I haven't noticed bugs across ALL operating systems that can be infuriating. For one...haven't you ever experienced it just...

Downloaded an installed it two days ago and used it on the vocal busses in an R&B project I am mixing. Besides the small GUI this plugin rocks! The O-Presser saved the day! The micropitch and stereo delay sections are also rad. You can even rearrange each section depending on what signal...

To illustrate my point, here's a plot of a signal showing quantization noise, harmonic distortion and aliasing effects. As you can see, the aliasing distortion shows up at multiple points in the spectrum despite originating above 20kHz. Cheers :)

You can do this by creating an 16-bit sine wave and attenuating it just before the LSB, around 93dB. You need to turn up your speakers all the way to hear it. Then attenuate it towards infinity and you'll hear the chattery effect of the LSB being traversed. You could also try it with an 8-bit...
