hey all jw about your thoughts on where you find the most value of a sonic 'footprint' in other words, 'messing w/ the natural sound'. i feel like so many people talk about the character of pre's but eq seems over looked.

I am going to record bass. I have a Dean Active 4-String (alder wood with coated flatwounds) played out of a 12" Ampeg bass combo. I will also take a DI signal too. It is in a large 40x20x12 classroom (hard surfaces, with lots of crap in it). The style of music is some kind of indie/reggae/funk.

Here are my input choices:

Antelope Audio is the next big bang in pro audio. thumb

I just acquired the PreSonus Eureka Channel Strip. It has a pre-amp, compressor, and eq for one channel. One of the knobs is the Impedance. From reading the manual, it says to adjust the knob to the impedance for whatever microphone I am using. It also says to try different combos to experiment, but that is all it says.

If I have an acoustic guitar with pickups installed, how do I plug it into a combo jack a PreSonus FireStudio? Do I just need to run a 1/4 cable into the combo jack, or do I need to go into a DI box, then XLR into the combo jack?

Thanks!

I am trying to get my Yamaha P80 Keyboard to work as MIDI triggers for Cubase 5. I have tried going MIDI out of the Yamaha to MIDI in for the Tascam US-224. One chord. I only need it to trigger instruments installed in the Cubase. I have it set with the US-428 Emu on in the Midi under the Remote Devices. I guess I need to back up first.

Currently, I'm using the Propellerhead Balance with my brother's headphones (Sennhiser HD 518, really nice). I've been thinking about getting some proper speakers for under $1500. I produce bass-heavy music, so smaller speakers are a no-no. Also, they need to support multiple voltage configurations (i.e. have a voltage selector)

Thanks! :biggrin:

Jack or anybody.

I am wanting to upgrade my computer. As far as my needs, I record one to two tracks at a time. Most songs have around 16 total tracks. 8-12 of those tracks would be VSTi plugs and I use a normal amount effects plugs. My budget is $1200.

I was wondering if there is a way to send a track session from Acid to cubase? Any Certain file we should save it as?
