I extremely miss a accurate handson console for Plugins .

I am searching for a intelligent controller where I can touch my mastering chain .

Now I work a lot with Wavelab and UAD, Waves, and Nomad Factory,…

How do the softwareguy`s work on there plugins,,,, or do you all ride the mouse.

is it very hard to find one of these tape echos anymore? also what would be a good spring/tube reverb, or any stereo effect processes that are tube?

I'm looking to buy some sort of package of sampled orchestral osunds, but I really don't have a clue what I'm doing. I understand real instruments much better than software controlled ones. I really just want something that I can use to add some string arrangements to my pop/rock music. Really, I'm far more interested in the strings than I am in any of the other instrument families.

I'm running a Sonar with an oldish PC. Now, I'm having troubles with mixing i.e. dropouts while recording a complete mix. Is there an easy way to give a little help for the poor PC? I'm almost done with mixing but few songs just won't go. So I'm not going to upgrade the PC for this purpose. That will happen later. It's the CPU meter that is running red, not the HD.

What pieces of gear would be the best investment?

Hello, I am in a situation here, After working for a while with a pair of Mackie hr824's that I'm pretty pleased with, I need to swap them for something with a smaller footprint. Iv'e been looking into the blue sky 3 way system,(system 2?), but I havent heard all too much about them, and what I have heard hasnt been so great.

Hi, first time poster here. I am about to purchase an Apogeetrak2 for about 1150US. it comes with the 8channel DA out and ADAT and midi cards. from what i understand this is an amazing deal.

I am setting up my mini "studio" for the first time, and this is the first serious piece of gear i purchase (I originally worked out of a laptop with an echo indigo io).

So when I over dub guitar or bass over a drum track, My guitar or bass player can play to the drum track spot on, but Cubase recordes it out of sync, so I have to zoom in and line up the tracks manually, ITS A PAIN IN THE ASS!> help please!

The title pretty much says it. A band is going to bring me files from a protoolz session and I am going to be mixing in CubaseSX2. I have tried searching and googling, but I am still a little unsure how to tell them what to do. As far as I can tell, the options are:
1. Export as OMF, assuming the studio has bought the Digi OMF-exporting whatever.

on stuff other than the hi fi audiophile gear, would these tubes be amazing sounding? ie. guitar/bass amps, preamps, dynamic processing.
