It sounds like a strange thing to do but I would like to record existing tracks from older files on to new tracks using updated software and VST amp simulators. I like the old existing tracks and do not want to record them from scratch. I have tried to add the amp simulator VST in Cubase 5 to an existing guitar track but it does not change the track at all.

anyone rated the Studer A800 tape machine PLUG IN from universal audio? i know it more than likely never sounds like the real thing...but at least a rating? thanks.

Hi,

I got the Waves v8 Demo to test some of the Plug-ins, that I want to buy
if I like 'em, but there are a few of them which don't start properly and cause my DAW to crash and I wonder why. Maybe you can help.

Hi,

Hello,
I have a home studio where I record our rock group onto 8-track 1/2" tape. We intend to have a vinyl single pressed of some of our songs. It seems that most mastering companies will want AIFF files to start with. So my question is how to produce the best AIFF from my analog mix.

Hello everyone.

Opinions on realistic hard edged choir samples for Kontakt 4?

Or any VSTi with good aggressive Epic sounding choir stuff for cinema? I'd appreciate some input before sifting through a ton of demos and laying out the cash.

Ok so this is pretty much a straight forward one. I know how I do this and the tone I get sounds pretty awesome.

I'm just wondering because I am open to ideas and always like to learn from people.

What do you guys use to record your bass and what is the typical EQ and compression application you would go by ?

I guess this is something I should have asked long ago.

I've been putting this chain together

EQ
Multiband compression
Magnetic simulation
Limiter
Maximizer/Dither

What other good plugin chains are good to use when mastering?

I have 4 basic EQ plugins; Bomb Factory EQ, Waves Renaisance EQ, Nomad Factory BT-PEQ322-3, and a Nomad Factory Studio Channel SC-226. I still like the Bomb Factory best. What do you like?

I just purchased the Waves C6 6 band compressor and I really don't know how to use it yet. Is there some manual on the plugin to help me?
