I have an Ibanez soundgear run of the mill 4 string bass. I have been listening to this CD from The Flaming Lips called Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. And for the life of me have no idea how to make my bass sound anywhere like this. I'm using Cubase for the EQ and compression and stuff and fairly new to recording the bass. I'm recording it direct and not with an amp.

best advice for using a reference CD to acclimate my ears to monitors, room acoustics etc(ie, my favourite donnie osmond record or whatever)?. How do i trust the sound source? do i bounce down to a wav or mp3 and import the file into my daw? or will running my CD player as an input be accurate enough. this might be a dumb question but i've always wondered.

am trying to utilize my Roland R8 MKII Human Rhythm Composer with my DAW and I have the MIDI out of it connected to my MOTU MIDI Timepiece AV USB. I am getting a constant fluttering red led whenever I have it inserted into the MTP. I tried moving it to various ports but still, the same problem.

So I'm doing a project for my boss transfering some old DAT masters to Cubase to possibly edit together some "behind the scenes" type moments. Right now, I'm using a Sony DTC-ZE700 DAT deck and his Tascam FW-1804. I'm using the A/DAT (optical) out for the DAT deck into the 1804, via its optical.

I started out mixing Hip Hop music a couple of years ago, using nothing but Logitech 2.1 speakers and a Sound Blaster Audigy soundcard. Amazingly, I have gotten some pretty good results considering my equipment. I am now in the process of taking it to the next level.

hey everyone, Ive changed from playin a stomp box with plate mic inside,which ive used for 6 years, to using the DM5 drum brain and an external trigger.

After trying 5 different designs of trigger using a transducer,wired reverse polarity, I still cant get one with a 100 percent consistency.

Hi All
I am looking to set up a simple PC-based home recording studio. I want to be able to record guitar, bass, keyboard and the occasional vocal. I have a Boss GT8 for my guitar, which has midi i/o, and an old Korg M1 synth module (no keyboard) that I want to use.

my teacher was suggesting that I should get a pair of Grado SR80's?
