I would like to know what is the name of the program used to extract samples from music already recorded. Next where can I buy the program or the machine. I want a certain sound but not the song.A web site would be fine!Next I would like to know where can I find the sounds Dr. Dre, Timbaland, and Neptunes used to make my music sound more professional?

Hi, the mixer wants wave files of all the instruments, but the problem is, they all go through the same reverb. This mix is not final, but a short demo for a label, so I won't go as far as making separate tracks for every instrument's reverb.

Is this:

track 1: snare + reverb
track 2: hi hat + reverb
track 3: synth + reverb

same as this?

Hey Gang,

I'm not sure if this will relate to full fledged studios using all CHs all the time,

Most of the gear I'll have will be at least two channels, for stereo or multiple tracking etc..

I'd venture to think that in most gear the CH1 area is probably used more often then Ch2, 3, or 4 etc if more then 1 unit.

So the question is,

i am running nuendo 2.0 on a g4 power book and i am just using the "internal audio" as my outputs. my problem is i cant change nuendo to play in 24/48.
i can still get 24/44.1
what do i have to do to be able to get a higher sample rate?
ps. i am a new mac user and new to laptop editing so please any info would rock

thanks

michael

my friend and i are going to new york to purchase some gear for him. (i love to spend other people's money :twisted: )

thx

I'm currently mixing a rock'n'roll band demo and was wondering about the levels of different instruments before the mastering...
Should drums be very loud compared to the rest ?
Should voice feet in the mix but not clearly as loud as I hope it to be on the final product ?

thanks for the input

With as much as I have read on the importance of one's room and its affect on monitoring, I have a question. Would it be advisable to take your monitors out on your back porch outside and mix a song? You wouldn't have to worry about sound bouncing back at you. Lets assume that for the sake of argument here that you live out in the country and its really quiet.

Here's what I got so far:

The most important thing is not to let the amp start clipping, because then you get all this extra high-frequency energy which is really destructive to voice coils and so forth. Much more important than the max power rating, since an amp rarely gets turned up all the way anyway...

I am trying to set up a top front end - mic preamp/comp/eq etc. Mostly concerning the compressor and eq, how does one do this effectively? Through experience of my own and research it seems that one should comp/eq tracks in relation to other tracks, not on their own, which would mean to comp and eq after recording/tracking.

Hey I have a question for you guys. What do you think would be good external hardware for recording. Im looking to spend arround $300. I need to record drums so I will need at least 4-6 tracks at once. Thanks
