Many moons ago, I won a contest from recording.org for a copy of Sonar 8.5 Producer's edition. I have been happily running the software on a Windows 7 desktop.

That machine has gone on to a better place so now I am putting together a new desktop. I am looking into running a Linux system (but may just do a dual OS install for audio).

I'm looking to buy a bunch of audio equipment for amplifying/recording live talks in front of an audience.

I want to be able to record each mic as it's own .wav file (into my laptop using Adobe Audition or similar) before sending it to the PA so I can separately adjust gain during the live performance without affecting the recording.

I have a stereo amplifier. It's a really powerful Ashly that is nice sounding. (Not really important to this topic). Being that it has two channels, can I run a mono mix to front of house (two speakers only @ 8 ohms) on one side of the amp. .And run stage monitors on the other channel ? I have a sneaky suspicion its ok as long as my ohm load is equal on both channels. Or, am I wrong.

Hey guys, instead of calling it bad luck, I'm calling it an opportunity to learn.

I scooped one of those "beginner all in one" guitar / amp kits a couple days ago, where the whole thing is in a box, with picks etc etc. It's a first act brand and was $85 total.

I use Digital Performer 7.24 for the Mac.

When I hit spacebar, the vertical line cursor stops. So I can see where I stopped and start again from that point or insert a marker.

i currently use a Focusrite Safire pro 40 interface. My MBP is quite capable; it's a good one. Would I find any significant benefit in sound quality by upgrading to a Focusrite clarett thunderbolt ?

Could someone explain me the best driver for editing and mastering on a PC?

I know that for recording the ASIO driver is the best due to its minimized latency, but I have a doubt if this same criterion applies in the case of editing and mastering on the computer.

Is there a consensus or short list on the best microphones for Micing amp cabinets during a live recording session in a noisy venue ? Also, the same for vocals ? Consider these will not be in the PA. They will be sent via snake straight to my recording interface and captured on computer HD.

Has anybody had success lifting the tempo up after mix using plugins or is there another way
to do this without the warbling artefacts.
We recorded a song at home and,maybe we were too laxed out when we set the tempo at the start.

Hi everyone,

I just did a new video and would like your comments :
