    Headphones for mixing, best value..

    Well i'd rather be comfy! I've worn a few headphones that don't fully enclose my ears and it feels rather odd! They are actually an open tab on my browser right now! One of the options yes! Is closed back a good choice though? I'm unsure on what the benefits are of closed and open back heaphones.

    Headphones for mixing, best value..

    Howdy. I know headphones aren't the best option, but monitors aren't an option at all for me due to space, money, being unable to treat a room and play loud music being in a rented flat, plus moving to a different rented property soon.. I'm also not exactly into the producing side of music...

    Tascam US-144 - Line out to Speakers or Phones??

    Hey I've had this interface a while but upon looking at the manual it doesn't mention Line Out and what should be connected to it.. I assumed speakers, however the manual says powered speakers into the phones socket which seems odd. Tis this interface. Product: US-144 | TASCAM If I run my...

    One set of speakers two inputs (PC & audio interface? Switch/splitter for the job??

    That would be the answer but i'm using 7.1 sound for films, games and music so need to use the onboard sound and the rest of the speakers. Cheers

    Monitors, headphones? Advice required!

    Yeah, but I assume some headphones are better than others... Am I right in thinking speakers, headphones and such have EQ built in almost, but monitors play everything flat without messing with it? Hence the need for special monitors or monitor headphones? Back on the room.. If i were to...

    Metal, home recorded of course, help needed!

    Thanks for your feedback. I'm thinking of shortening it near the start by 4 bars which is the bit I think you mean the riff gets repetitive? And to have someone else mix it, wouldn't I have to upload a lot of wav files? Any advice on this, I wouldn't mind giving it a go. Only issue along with...

    Recording levels - Guitar via Interface into Cubase

    Thanks for your time, When you say hold a chord, do you mean the meter is half way all the time? because obviously a chord held is going to fade out and not sustain forever at the same volume you strum it? Thanks David

    Recording levels - Guitar via Interface into Cubase

If I set my knob on interface so the light remains green and only goes orange if I attack the strings extremely the Cubase mixer's...

    Recording levels - Guitar via Interface into Cubase

    Howdy folks! I'm experimenting with Cubase and my Interface, I'd like to be able to record rough demos that sound pretty good. I'm using a guitar with active pickups, going into a Tascam US-144. The knob on one side of dial says Line and other Mic. I've no clue about recording compared to...

    Cubase midi not playing through interface and other Q's
