OK, I have a few demons to service here.

I need to spend GBP £2-£3,000 to make my studio 'look better'.

Hey Ro'ers, it's been a very long time since I have been on the site, but my question is pretty simple: "What can I do to make my mixes better?" I am using PT 7, and I don't mix at loud volumes, just at an easy listening level, so that I can still carry on a conversation if I need to.

As the subjects says. has anyone got some good suggestions as to what works well as a realistic sounding piano synth.

I dont have the funds or space to buy the real thing and really really want one.

Cheers!

I will be regularly recording a panel discussion of 4 to 6 people (TV news panel style, but audio only). It will be a discussion / study group.

The people discussing will probably all have laptops that they are actively using, and some will have books / papers / notebooks etc actively being consulted, etc.

Hi all,

Never thought this day would come -- but alas, must learn MIDI.
Would anyone care to make a product suggestion for a 100% Cubase compatible MIDI interface please <?>

So I am checking out Acid Pro for the first time as I am looking to work on a solo guitar project and want to assemble some backing drum tracks etc.

I'm getting onto finer points of my mixes. If you refer to the "recording massively high gain guitars" post earlier you can see what gear I am using.

I'm trying to get a big explosion sound in a couple of the songs I'm mixing in order to give more dramiatic effect to the different parts of the songs.

I have a PreSonus firebox which comes with a 6 to 6 pin firewire cable.

However, my laptop only uses a 4 pin firewire.

So I've been looking around for a 4 to 6 pin firewire.

Does the quality of the firewire adapter matter?

Here is a fun little debate, only applies to software effects and tools. Let's say you have a track that needs both compression and EQ, which do you put first in the chain and why? I know which one I choose and why, but before I tell you, I want to find out how you approach these situations.
