First off i have the following :
Homebuilt pc windows xp / 512 gb ram/ 80 gig hd/ intel 4 process/
a soundblaster audigy platnium soundcard (i realize now that i got ripped off)
Cubasis vst. I think it is version 4.5
Zoom 1608 hdr with cd burner
Phonic mm1202 mixer
Senhieser es609 guitar cab mic
Sampson c01 condenser mic
Stageworks xlr dynamic mic
An Art pre-amp not sure of specs think i paid like 60 bucks for it.
My question is a two part question because of the hdr versus the mixer ; and the cubasis in conjunction with the hdr.
1. I have recorded one song; a dry recording with as little effects processing as possible other than distortion that is built in to the 1608. I liked how it sounded for what it was. It was a built in drum track, squire bass guitar recorded line in, squire tele guitar likewise, and then a single lead guitar track, and then two vocals tracks. I was content with the way they sounded (even through headphones) so i started trying to mix them down and ran into a problem. The hdr has a built in digital mixer (no knobs to cut or boost just buttons and digits) The hdr has only a limited number of these hz/ khz frequency ranges (40, 63,80,100, 125 (which it has seemed to chose as a default) 163, 180, 200, 250, 318, and so on higher up and gives no way to input any other numbers. when you have two or three guitar tracks even panned out properly and when trying to cut it just still seemed to be crammed together. What i am wondering is if i was to run the mm12 out of the hdr or verse vice with the knobs to twist would that give me a bit more range as far as the hz/ kz levels so that i don't have to cram everythign into the same freq. level.
2. Could i record the drums and import them into cubasis vst 4.5 and then use the mixer that is built in along with the compressors limiters reverbs ect... or do i have to pretty much do everything with the hdr... it does have a light pipe connection so i am thinking this may be possible to route the drum tracks into seperate tracks on cub vst.
Any help is much appreciated thanks.
