Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this site (...been reading it for a few weeks & have already learned a ton) and new to recording.
I'm self-recording my band in our practice studio.
The set-up is 57s and 58s - into a Mackie 24 - with the PreSonus compressor (8 channels) inserted when needed - into the PreSonus firepod - into Cubase LE (which came with the firepod) So far the recording sounds great. however.
The computer that we are using is a G5 w/ 1,8 GHz processing power and 1.2 GHz of RAM
--despite this, whenever I attempt to 'VST effect send' it sounds like someone was eating rice crispies on the tracks
. after reading a few things on here I thought that with this computer that wouldn't be an issue...
Does anyone have any idea why it is? and what I need to do to fix it?
Also if anyone knows and could share with me the reasons why I should upgrade the Cubase. I can't seem to find the difference between LE and SX anywhere... although the complete lack of info on LE makes me think it has the worth of a cracker jack prize...(but the recording sounds so goog so far!)
Thanx,
Andrew

I'm pretty sure that it is just called Cubase LE - no version 1, 2, or 3 I think it may have been developed as a lesser version for the firepod giveaway to coax people (like myself) into buying the better version...
Sample rates... okay... so in the computer (not in Cubase?) I adjust the sample rate ...
Anyone know how to do that with a Mac? (I have a PC at home and am just becoming familiar with apple...
thanx for the info!
Andrew

Watch out, it's a damned PDF.

I don't know how Cubase works on Mac, but on a PC, you can adjust the buffer settings. This is different from the sample rate. Smaller buffer = lower latency (good for recording) / Bigger buffer = better CPU performance (good for playback/effects). If your buffer size is too small, you'll get crackles & pops while playing back.
Are you recording to a dedicated audio hard drive? Actually I
Are you recording to a dedicated audio hard drive?
Actually I don't advise my clients to use Steinberg products on Macs. They have a lot of great features but the cpu performance is poor when compared to other Mac DAWs and plugins.
Apps like Logic and DP4 can use 40%-60% more instances of effects and virtual instruments. With Logic slightly more effecient with the CPU than DP.

So... I set the sample rate when I start the recording initially
So... I set the sample rate when I start the recording initially.
...the instruction manuel says not to change it once recording has begun... I suppose this means that I am stuck with a limited amount of post-recording effects...next to none really.
hhhmmmmm......
If I take this to be mastered somewhere... they must be able to put the effects that I want on....
So I guess the question is :
Are there many studios that are compatible with different programs...?
I'll have to post this as a separate question, won't I?
first off which version of cubase are you using 1 2 3? then you
first off which version of cubase are you using 1 2 3?
then you can find the difraces on stienburgs webite.
you just need to play with the sample rates, i could tell you how to do this on PC but ive not used cubase on mac.
