Ok. I just put together a computer for a friend(3rd one I've built) and everything seemed to be cool until I try access the BIOS and/or load Windows. The configuration I have setup is a 755-A2 ECS mobo (AMD 64 -socket 754) w/ a WD 120 HD (IDE) and a PLEXTOR PX-712SA DVD-R drive (SATA).

I just finished up a demo project for a band and really wasn't satisfied with the way the toms came out. I am new to recording and found I should have first panned them to get a spacier sound. What are the recommended mic's for toms and EQ/FX settings?

I'm looking for good trustworthy sites where songwriters can post their work. Any advice greatly welcomed.

I printed on almost every CD inkjet printing CD no names and brand names, I use now a hub printable CD Imation, but when I print and water or even if it's hot outside the CD label I printed smudges. How to fix it? I tried to buy a clear labels to go on top of the CD, however they don't sell those here in Canada and the labels don't go directly into the centre for hub CD printing.

Last question I promise...I'm just in the process of upgrading so i've posted a lot...and i send my love to all of you who have kindly put up with my posts... javascript:emoticon('8-)')

hi, which pci slot of the msi neo2 can be recommended for audio? which has its own irq?

Hi yeah me again - I've got lots on my mind...

I wondered if anybody knew how volume rises as more notes are added and how in turn we hear the result.

Hello again,

I am trying to establish the spread of an instrument in th pan field.

My desk pans from -63 on the left to plus 63 on the right. I guess I am trying to place things in the mix and womdered about this.

Hi,

anybody got some good tips on eq for a diguital piano in a live and in a recording situation? The pisno is actually coming from a sampler and is quite a nice sound. I've been told to roll off below about 120 hz and add a little boost around 10khz. However I'm not sure if this is a general setting and I'm not sure of the levels of gain and attenuation as well as the q shape.

Hi there,

I just wanted to know if it was good practice when using an effect to have the resultant volume out matched to the volume in.

The way I do it is on a digital desk and I send my instrument channel to an aux channel via a fader. In turn the aux channel feeds into the effect bus via a fader. The wet sound is then piped back into the mix via a volume pot.
