i run my snake into a Mackie 24/4 vlz pro mixer and use the insert TRS to send out into my preamp and then to compressor and then out to my multitrack interface (MOTU 24i). on the first two channels i run board/preamp/compressor. on the others i run board/compressors with no external pre. am i running everything in the correct order?

hello. I've been recording with Cubase sx2 and so far having a good time with it except for when I try to use the multiband compressor. I've been trying to use it on the stereo out channel to improve overall loudness and when I do this there is a very distinct hum which sounds like some kind of digital distorton that ends up on some of the tracks.

Greetings,

From my limited knowledge I understand that a de-esser is essentialy a compressor that limits certain frequencies of sibilance.

I also understand that an actual de-esser would be rather expensive due to its special function.

Hey guys. So at the moment I'm getting ready to buy some powered monitors. but I'm not sure what ones.

So for the time being, is it possible to turn my computer speakers into monitors through Cubecase LE?

I Have a firepod and i hate hate hate monitoring through headphones during playback. My computer speakers are pretty decent so they should be fine for a couple weeks.

Hey guys, just picked up a new one and wanted to know if anyone has used the sidechain on a CL1B. I want to be able to use it for ducking etc but the manual only references the sidechain to be used to connect to other CL1Bs.

Thanks
Brad

Hello Sirs and Ladies,

i`ve done my masters since now complete in the box
Wavelab with UAD Precision,Bluetubes, ...
it worked relativ nice.

I was not really happy with the compressors and so i try since one week an really nice Hardware SPL Kultube.

Hi Folks,
Just got my fist piece of hardware a FMR RNC compressor.
I use Adobe Audition 1.5 and have M-Audio 1010LT sound card.
I have started to get my head around the sound cards routeing options.

One of the big questions I always find myself stuck on is how to set attack/release so the layers of compressors in my mixes/masters work best.

Eg. DRUMS:

1) Compression at track level (bass drum, snare, etc.)
2) Compression at drum bus level
3) Compression at master level

hey all, i'm new to this particular forum, but i've posted some of my songs up in STUDIO PROJECTS from time to time.

Hey guys,

Yeah I'm kinda new... but been lurking for a little while.
