HI Hey I was wondering what are some good DAW's to start out with dealing with Hip Hop. Also maybe ones to look at after i graduate from the first DAW. Like what would be your top 3 or top 5 DAW's?

I have been dabbling with recording my music for years. I've never gone gung ho on it, but I've bought some nice equipment over the years hoping to get rolling. In the past, I've used Cubase LE4 I got with a Tascam bundle. It worked well, but ever since I've gotten Windows 7, it hasn't worked right.

What do you do at the end of the day/night... Do you turn your studio>gear>CP
Or do you turn some things off?

Happy new year to all of you.

Im getting ready to send a album of 14 tracks to get mastered. My questions are.

Hello..

I am new to recording and Cubase. I am using a Tascam US-122 Audio/Midi interface, Cubase Studio 4 and a Athlon 3400+, 2 gig ram and Sound Blaster X-Fi.

I have my guitar running to a digital FX unit, which runs to the Tascam, which goes to the PC through USB. My headphones are in the out of the soundcard (obviously),,

Hi,

I have brand new in-ear monitors with an older Shure (receiver?) body pack.
I also have a wireless head set (with transmitter body pack) and Sennheiser wireless sax mic (with transmitter attached to the horn itself.)

I'm getting a hissing sound in my in-ear monitors that intermitantly cuts off for split second.

I am tracking a pianist for a band who loves the sound of one of his samples on the S90, and I am tracking midi and audio. I'll end up cleaning up the performance with the midi, but once he leaves I won't have the samples to trigger. How can I (if possible) get the samples off of his keyboard into my computer. It has a USB connection...

I bought a MobilePreUSB preamp off ebay and it came with Live Lite 4 as well as a demo version of Cool Edit Pro. If anyone remembers my post in the budget forum, I'm just starting out, trying to record my friend's small band's first album so it doesn't have to be anything spectacular. Is Live Lite 4 good enough for what I want to do?

Is this done to avoid reflections (from/off the floor) or to minimize vibrations, say up through the mic stand and into the mic? Or both?

Additionally, is there really a preference as to how high? If for the reflection issue, couldn't you just tilt it back?

Lastly, should a stand that permits the least amount of resonance be chosen...if for vibration?
