should i bus my vocals to a separate reverb ? should i keep the synths and vocals on different reverb buses ?

I have read the manual and also read Sonar 2 power, but for the next two weeks I am away from my DAW and my books.

Here is what I am trying to do:

Can someone explain these to me? I've had experience with neither, and I know I'm going to need to know what the two are and how to approach them very soon.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I want to make a stereo bus of my drums so i can compress it to hell and blend it with the original kit.

Is Phase a problem in a situation like this? :D

I have a session coming up and it is the biggest one I've had so far. My big problem is that I am using only the 4 buses off my mixer into my computer but the band Im recording wants to do everything live, without overdubs. this would be fine if it was a smaller band but I need to mic drums (4 mics) a keyboard, guitar, bass, and vocals. I was wondering how i should go about it.

I have posted this elsewhere on other boards. Does anyone know if there is still a move by the motherboard companies to have a 2GHz bi-directional bus speed by 2004?

I had read somewhere in a PC mag that there were video card companies working on it now, and that motherboards would be offered by 2004. This would be great, IMO.

I am doing transfer's from IZ Radar drives to Pro Tools. There is a new software called DAMSEL that transfer's the data from Radar drives to other formats i.e. SDII, BCW or AIFF files. In our expermentation to find the fastest transfer time, I have some questions for any Mac users. We tested a Mac G4 powerbook running a 500 Mhz processor on a 100 Mhz bus with 256 ram.

How do you guys proceed when the stereo bus is "clipping"?
Lower each fader by the same amount?
Lower each fader by individual amounts?
Lower the master fader?

Has anybody else experienced this:

(Cubase/PC/ASIO multi-channel PCI card)

Buses dropping out accompanied by nasty noises when starting/stopping the tape transport.

Sometimes it's fine for hours, then the master bus drops out, somethimes it's bus 2 (chan 3/4). Sometimes it's flaky from the start.

Hi,
I've never tried one but it appears that a lot of people don't like the Mackie 8 bus yet I see them in numerous mid level professional studio's. Not intending to be used in tracking only monitoring and mixing would this be that bad of a way to go?
