I've been puzzled by something for a while now. There are questions at the end, but the preamble is my attempt to think my way through some of the background info. There may be plenty of mistakes along the way, so feel free to point them out. That said, here we go:

Hello,

Does anyone know why this happens: e.g. I record a note (D) on my flute at 24bit - 48KHz, it plays back as the same note in Cubase 4 LE then when I mix the track down to 16bit - 44KHz and play the new .wav file in windows media player or VLC the sound is much sharper in pitch nearly a F.

So, I had a thought (which can be dangerous) about mixing technique.

I was thinking that we could assemble a group of tracks for a song. Nothing crazy, just a 2-3 min. peice with drums, bass, a couple of guitars, and some vocals. Anything really.

Hello

what do you think about using a Bruel & Kjaer Sound Level Meter (2238 Mediator) for audio recording?
I'm thinking to use unweight (linear) analog output direct to Logic Pro.
The B&K mic is almost perfectly flat and of course has a really great preamp.

What do you think? is this a good option vs an AKG 414 for example?

Thank you.

I am relatively new to audio recording and am trying to record vinyl records to my computer (a Mac).

I have done this before with bad results because the mics are so similar that they create problems and audio artifacts and such. Is there a way that I can however use them at the same time to mic my amp? I believe that they both result in good sound that is different and adds to eachother nicely. Hopefully there is a smart way of doing this.

I'm on a budget and am looking for a great audio/music editing program for my PC. Which would you choose? I'm just a beginner with recording and won't be doing a whole lot of it. I usually do live sound for events and outreaches. So, I don't really need anything top of the line. I know how to use Logic, but I don't have a Mac.

Is there an inexpensive way that I can send an optical output from my 01V into my PC? Maybe a USB interface or a PCI card? I would look at the soundblaster x-fi's because they have optical in/out, but I do not have PCI express since my computer is a few years old.

Its been awhile since I posted here so here goes...

I've known for awhile now that my mixes don't translate well. Usually they sound a bit muffled (lacking upper-mids and highs) when being played on other quality sound systems.

Hey how u doin, I'm new here. I've been playing regurly in a 3 piece with a Yamaha mx something and 2 2x15 500 watt FOH.and using an old jade thing to power my FB's. Recently I went to an auction and scored a phonic helix 18 firewire mixer, 3 power amps aCrown CE-2000, a Quest QA-3000, and a star sa-12.
