Hi all i'm looking to upgrade my home recording studio. I currently use a Boss Br900CD but i find using it to its full abilities it still sounds amateurish and the programmed drums are too monotonous. Is pro tools good? I have a windows xp so i can only use up to edition 7. What hardware do i need to get for pro tools 7 and what price am i looking at. Also is pro tools an industry standard?.

I'm delving into mixing some multitrack live recordings of my rock band. I'm Micing a Bergantino 12" cabinet with a Beta 52A, and taking a direct off the bass player's 5-string Modulus bass.

How do you pros manage to get that deep, solid bass tone that you hear at a live concert, or on a good studio recording? EQ? Compression? It's proving elusive to me.

hey, iv recently re installed reason onto my laptop but after i enter the verification code it says

''canot open ReWire2 system

please make sure you have the right ReWire version installed''

anyone know how to solve this problem?

Hello all, complete newbie here. To start dabbling into recording, I just picked up a Tascam us-144 audio interface that came with Cubase LE 4. Setup right now is simply guitar -> interface-> laptop. Not even getting to Cubase's steep learning curve yet, I'm having a hell of a time just getting that much to work. Here's the issue:

Hey guys -

Just a quick question -

I'm working on PT LE 8 at the moment and need to export all of the files (audio and MIDI) so that they're all indexed to 00:00:00 and are all equal lengths in WAV, BWF or AIFF format.

Does anybody know the commands in PT LE 8 to do this?

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I have been using Pro Tools and m audio gear now for a few years and I'm having serious issues with the firewire/Pro Tools m powered setup since leopard on Mac OSX came out.

I'm completely frustrated and I want to simplify my gear.

This question has been asked by many here and on other forums but never quite answered... so I'll ask it again, rephrased :P

I pay... whatever... 5-15k for a Pro Tools HD setup. I pay 1k for some other DAW+interface setup. What bonus do I get from PT8HD if I already have a freakin' beast of an audio computer?

I recently purchased 2 condenser mics and an sm57 to record my bands drumset with. The 3 mics work great, but I'm still looking for a mic to record the kick drum with. I put the two overheads (condensers) up and the 57 on the snare, and the kickdrum barely picks up. Along with that, i want to have multiple tracks recording each individual mic on cubase.

So I have had multiple Cubase crashing problems. I decided to just go on an reformat the brand new computer and start over with a clean slate. So I did.

I'm getting interested in mixing in surround sound and I was curious if anyone had any tips on getting started. I currently have Sonar 7 studio, but I was wondering if only the producer edition supports surround sound mixing. Also, I was just curious whether anyone else on the forums mix in surround. thanks
