Hey I'm pretty new to this and i've just started using some compressors on some guitar and drum tracks i've recorded I don't know where to start. Please help! I usually just set the threshold low and turn and turn up the input til i hear it working. Btw, if I want to limit the kick drum i just set the ratio above 10:1? I heard that somewhere. I really need to know how to use these things.

As I've stated in previous posts, I'm now working with a Neumann TLM102 > BLUE Robbie Tube Pre > M-Audio Profire 610 > Logic.. Unfortunately I'm not getting the sound I thought I paid for.. but I think this is the reason:

Hey everyone, I just ordered some monitors tonight. The only thing I've ever used before are computer speakers.

I am really puzzled as to how to use this mixer and I'm hoping for some help. Here is a link to the specs with a picture of it http://www.Behringer.com/assets/MX2004A_P0030_S_EN.pdf

Hello everyone. I'm a sound engineer from Athens, Greece and with my band we started recording our first Album.My band is called Shadow. It's a blend of all the styles from Hard Rock and Metal music and we try to combine it with our own flavor. Is there anyone here how is dealing with that kind of music ?

I am currently a student at Music Industry Arts in London, Ontario and we are studying Pro Tools and Logic. The topic we covered this week was how to quantize however, I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around it's uses (specifically for audio tracks such as vocals or guitars).

Is it possible to wire cables out of phase? For instance on the use of top and bottom of a snare.

Are there any other cheap alternatives without changing inside of a DAW?

What PCIe slot are you using for best performance?

What do you think is the hierarchy when recording? I guess for some things it's obvious. But in terms of gear, I don't ever have a whole lot of money at one time, so I'm trying to figure out what would be the next best purchase. Sorry if there is a thread on this already... These are how I imagine it, though I don't really know at all. Would love to hear some opinions from the pros!
