Why is Cubase automatically pitch shifting samples that I import?

Hi all,

I hope I can explain this problem properly.

I do a lot of voice-over work in Cubase LE and I edit out the pauses, breaths, etc, using the sample waveform editor.

Is there a rackmount multiband compressor that one could possibly afford? Or can you only find this effect in plugin format? Is there a way to group some basic plugins together to create multi-band compression? I somehow think this question belongs on a different forum.

hi guys new here, iv been recording with a Mbox2 for the last year now and any time i want to record something with more than 2 tracks, such as drums, i have to use a mixer, but i still have 2 tracks then on pro tools and i want to be able to have full control over all the tracks like kick snare toms over heads and so on.

I just spoke to a senior guy at MOTU and he was telling me all the differences between them. I think he has me sold on it. He recommended throwing a question like this on a forum to get views from other professionals. Whats the scoop?

I'm looking at building a rack bridge for some gear I have ordered (Focusrite TwinTrak and Digi 002R). What is the standard width of rack gear from ear to ear (from far edge to far edge)? I know the gear itself varies from 18.5-19", but that's the width of the case, not from ear to ear...

Thanks!
David

Whats the best free plugins you have used ?

I just bought this second hand to house an autotune and pre but there is NO WAY to screw these things in. It's impossible to get your hand inside the thing to screw the nut onto the bolt. Are there some sort of clips instead that I need to pick up?

Am lost in the sea of choice and progress in building a new system for my mid-size commercial studio.

Have been offered a HD3 system for $8000k and bought a 192 converter for $2200... but now I'm not so sure I want to use Pro Tools - I'm a Nuendo/Cubase SX guy. the thoughts of going to Pro Tools depresses me on a software basis.

Hi Kids, Its your Uncle Davedog again. First let me say, there's a lot of very talented folks out there and you're very much encouraged to post whatever you got for the opinions of your peers.

HOWEVER. This forum is more of a 'how does it feel to write'. 'what are the basics in key selection' . 'how do I get my girl to love my guitar' kinda place.
