the crash cymbals on my current recording ( 80ies thrash metal) just wash, in other words there is very little attack and identifying single hits is very hard on the recording, is there a way to emphasize the hits in the mixing process, or is this a matter of choosing the right cymbals beforehand only...

I just don't get it. I am able to record just fine in Audition, but only stereo. In the past with my onbaord card I could record my vocals seperatley in Audition while still being able to hear the beat while doing it . With this mixer & card I can't seem to do that. The mixer I have is the Yamaha MG 10/2. It doesn't have subgroup outs or bus.

I am thinking of using this to do what i was wanting to do.. that is to record my friends band using their mixer. this comes with hardware that seems to be what i need, but again, I'm not sure cause i know nothing about audio recording. if anyone has any input on this, please let me know. thanks

Help. I need power conditioning, and surge/outage protection for my studio. Right now I got nothin except noisy power, occasional surges, and crappy little surge protectors that allowed my MAC's power unit to get toasted. Any recommendations for gear? I read the post by Bob Rogers, but there didn't seem to be any specific manufacturers or models listed other than Furman.

Hello Recording.org!

We are migrating Cubase SX 3 projects (and all audio) from an older PC to a new Quad-core G5 with 2 PreSonus Firepods, and of course the latest Mac version of Cubase SX 3.

FIRST PROBLEM:
Cubase SX 3 crashes when trying to use BOTH Firepods that are connected and setup (as an Aggregrate Device) in Audio/Midi Setup.

Ok here are the mics I have where would you put them on the drum set

Alright guys, I'm looking at a recording interface, somewhere in the $800-$1500 range

Heres the specs I need:

At least 8 inputs
Really nice preamps
More than just two outputs
Really nice converters
At least 24bit/96hhz

This may be a stupid question. I understand where to hook it up on the back of my amp but where do i hook it up to my recorder. Do i put the line directly into either input A or B? I mean instinctively this seems like what i should do but I'm paranoid about hooking up my 100 watt jcm 900 to it out of fear of blowing it up or something.

There is a symetrix 528 for sale in my city at a cheap price. I'll probably get it but I wonder how the 528 compare to other pres, like RNP, sytek, or cheap stuff like Mackie or art mp?

I suppose it'll be an upgrade from my Tascam M-2600 ? (who is not that bad, but sterile)

The thread on recording solo piano got me thinking about the challenges of spot Micing piano on chamber music concerts. I record a lot of chamber music with piano. Generally, there are two to seven string players or wind musicians situated in front of the piano. And they all like to snuggle up to the piano and play right in front of it.
