Our Band just picked up our new Mackie CFX-20 mixing board, so I think that we have all the equipment we need to record. I will be using a Laptop w/ MOTU 828, to record at our rehersal space then I will do all the editing and Mastering at home on my DAW.

As reported by The Register, the RIAA plans to fight P2P(peer to peer) file swapping by infecting mp3 files.

Any suggestions on getting a super tight, heavy guitar sound (ie new deftones, tool, chevelle, etc.)? I have a semipro recording studio so I don't, by far, have all the best gear, but I'm sure it can make the guitars sound pretty good with what I have if I knew what I was doing. My problem has always been too much "shhhhh" and not enough balls/warmth/punch.

Say I want to use a kickpattern to trigger a guitar, so that everytime the kick kicks the guitar sounds.
How do I set that up in a DAW?

Some usefull tips and or links would be very helpfull.

greets,
Peter

What works best for you?
Thanks Roly

Hi Bill,

Hey All;

I'm in desperate need of some help troubleshooting my system-I've spent all weekend setting it up and I'm still having glitches.

I am currently using a Belkin OmniView SE 4 port KVM switch to control my DAW and a 2nd computer which I use for internet surfing and office apps. I want to use two monitors with the KVM switch. I have seen a splitter which boasts and splits the VGA signal at http:// Would it work for my application? The office app computer has an ATI Rage card, the DAW has a Matrox G550 card.

Hello everyone!
I've worked several times with a roland vm series console but with a vm link cable(AES/EBU)5 meters long.The manual says that the vm processor can be placed 200 meters away from the console.Is there anyone that had tried it, and can post the results here?
THANKS

I got distracted from drawing out my own available basement, and a friend asked me help with his. So here it is. He wants to improve the space acoustically and how it is used.
