Hello everyone. I have a problem with Pro Tools 10. I'm using windows 8.1. Whenever I turn on Pro Tools I get an error (picture below). When I restart my DAW, it works fine, but sound from my PC dissapears (music files, browsers, movies). As I'm new with music recording I watch a lot of tutorials, and I need for youtube and Pro Tools working at the same time.

Hi all. I am really new to the world of microphones and I'm overwhelmed after reading for a few hours. I need a microphone to simply sit on my desk and record spoken voice. I also need a zero latency headphone monitor jack on the mic. Ideally this will be a mic in the $100ish price range and USB. If I have to spend more, convince me why!

Hi!

Yesterday I set up my studio for drumrecording and noticed something very strange...I put a sm57 on the snare about 1" from the skin and 1,5" in from the rI'm edge pointed towards the center of the drum. I also put a mb2k from Audio-Technica under the snare about 2" from the skin but more straight angled on the center.

I just recently got a new Behringer UBB1002 as my first mixer and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me out with the EQ settings and gain. Im new to home recording so I dont really know the standards for proper levels of gain, dB, etc.. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Vocals disappear - poor compressoin settings?

I'm getting my mixes really loud. When the vocals are soloed, they are clear and forward, but when the instruments really enter the mix (like in a full chorus), the vocals tend to get absorbed or quiet down. Is this a sign of over compression? I'm thinking it might be. Any help would be appreciated.
