Hi,
I'm learning a lot about Cubase SX and things are going well.

I recently created a song using the drum editor and went to mixdown to a CD and the drum editor track did not mix down. I'm using Reason and those MIDI tracks mixed down, so I don't understand what's going on.

I have read the manual and can't seem to find it in there.

Between bad remakes of great songs and rediculously loud CD's...is there anything to look forward to in music?

*Why is it so many crappy bands feel compelled to screw up a perfectly great song by putting there signature on it? Is this EGO, or are they running out of their own crappy ideas and still need to to make a record?

I'm pretty much a newbie to the world of plugins but I'm looking to upgrade my sound and everything I read keeps pointing me toward better quality EQ and reverbs. At the moment, I'm running a MOTU 1224 into a G4800, with Audio Desk as my software. In about a month, I plan to upgrade to Digital Performer.

I am completing my electronic "Dance?" album. I have gone through and read most of the posts about Mastering and how much room to leave for the mastering engineer.In my mix I am busing all the drums to a stereo fader and using the Waves L1 Ultramximizer at about 3-9 db of reductio. Bass sounds I am compressing pretty hard at about -8 of reduction on the trransients at a 4-6:1 ratio.

I am trying to finish my own personal electronic "Dance?" album. I have sampled most most all of the Kicks, snares, hats etc. to make up the percussion section off of vinyl and CDs. Some of this music is pseudo Hip-Hop, House and other forms of electrinica. I am using Pro-Tools Digi 001 with a Manley, Avalon pre and the full Waves plugin package.

Hey guys. I have a delima. I started a project a couple years go and did three songs recorded at 44.lk/16 bit. Since then, I moved up to 44.1/24 bit. When I open my mixes in Wavelab 4.0, the 16 bit mixes have some type of digital distortion or something and I noticed some "unders" when looking at the bit meter. Has anyone ever heard of this?

What plugins are there to use in cool edit pro 2.0. For the beat but also for the vocals cause right now my vocals suck and universal (umsic.ca upload) pretty much said that to. They have to be moved by the perfomance my lryic are deep, moving, and trouble. Ha Ha anyone wanna hook up and rob the industry I gunna oh fo' shur.

Ye who are wise in the ways of science:

I have made my way thru two books about mixing over the past 10-14 days. Behind the Glass and The Mixing Engineer's Handbook. (I love to buy a few rounds of thick java at the bookstore and read for many hours! :s: )

Can you list some of GREAT production/mixing albuns here ? (recent ones)

Like great vocals production, guitars, etc.

thanks
