Hi,

in my home studio, I am ready to take the leap from using compressor plugins to buying a decent 2 channel tube/valve hardware compressor.

I have around £500 ($1000) to spend and need something that would be a good allrounder (vox, bass, drums, guitars). Something that is also ok to run stereo mixes through would be an advantage.

:oops: I record with a stand alone without a compressor. Tascam DP01. Can I pull the vocal track off the following mix which will be in wave and fix it with Cakewalk V4XL, Cool Edit or FL 5
Would appreciate help/ Thanks

I need to cut up some shows I recorded. Does anyone have any recomendations for software to do this? I cannot find and easy way to do this.

Thanks Much.

Is it considered a valid option to track heavy and distorted guitars clean, leaving the option to choose a sound at a later date?
Say for example you've got the riff off to a tee, but you can't find the sound
straight the way.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this type of guitar sound.
Kind of bright rock guitar with a punky feel.
The bass seems to be very prominent which probably makes most of the low end, leaving the guitar to work higher up.
Any help appreciated, I'm sure it will be easy for the more experienced rock guitar recorders to hear what it's all about.

Sorry if this is in the wrong section...

I just bought a used E Mu 1616 interface,
and it warns of phantom power(48V) damaging some mic's.
Is mine one of them?

I have 2 firepods, hooked up to my AMD 5600+ x2 64bit computer (running windows xp pro). For some reason, the firepods don't seem to stay connected to my computer. they can lose connectivity over night, or they can work fine up until i go to use them. It seems to be pretty random as to when they lose it. Any suggestions? thanks

Okay just got the 002 Digidesign and my firewire connection was working fine.

Than i moved my studio in my basement and eversince the connection is green and working than the firewire loses connection, goes back on and goes back off, sometimes it stays on than sometimes it goes back off and doesnt come back its very bad and I'm not sure what the problem is.

hey i just got these 2 pieces of hardware my first 2 interfaces or what ever u call it. (I'm new to the studio scene)

I got the ultragain pro-8 because the 002 rack only had 4 preamps and i need 5 to record drums. So i got it for that.

Hi guys,
