Obviously most of this depends on the style, individual compressor, and using one's ears is always the best. If software, I can also load up some presets and explore. But. (dramatic music) I want to begin a discussion on why certain settings work or do not.

Im using Sonar 8 to record vocals and Im having mic issues. Normally when I choose my input I select my microphone and it says left right or stereo. But lately it just says mono and it sounds distorted and awful. Im not sure if I'm having mic issues or software issues. I feel like it might be my audio settings but I'm not sure. I cant figure it out. Please help.

my krks have two knobs one is called hf level adjustment and the other is the volume. what does the hf adjustment do ? and how do i know what to set it on ? ( it goes from -2 db to +1db ) and my volume goes from -30 db to +6db what is a good level to put this on ? when people say never put your volume all the way up are they talking about your computers volume or the speakers volume?

Hello,

I realize there is a Window menu to customize.

This is not what I am after (I think).

I want to lock the horizontal/vertical “stretching” of all windows (with 2nd monitor extensions).

All the time, it stays “loose” & I accidentally move (off-center & partially hide the edges).

Please advise the best practices for recording vocals in terms of sampling rate, bit depth etc.

We use equipments that support latest standards such as - Digi 002, Sony PCM-D1 and such.

We will be recording spiritual discourses / speeches that will be digitally distributed, stored for long time to come. These recordings will be the originals (master copies).

Hi I was wondering if anyone on the fourms own or had a voicemaster pro that can suggest me some settings to start with.

Thanks.

I'm having trouble with some live music in the way that we have just okay mics, and the songs we play sound pretty good, but sometimes when the vocal melody has a really low part, it gets lost in the music and you can't understand the words, which is understandable because the bass frequencies mix and mingle with the other stuff and don't get heard as much.

Howdy,

I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to pro audio, but ive been given the task of looking after the techincal aspects of a small community radio station.

I understand the basics, but I'm after some advice on what would be an ideal overall setting for a compressor/limiter which sits behind the transmitter.

I've been experimenting for several years now, and without making this a thread of "boost this and cut that", "use this not that". I was wondering if there is a useful reference (book, CD, etc) for drum eq/compression/gate/etc available (in addition to my ears and creative experimentation).
