This should be an easy one.

When applying compression and/or effects...is there a correct order? (i.e. Compression before/after reverb)

hi guys!

for some reasons, i can only record MONO signals. Now i would wanna convert those signals into STEREO. Is it possible that i could get Virtual Stereo? And, do you know what plugin i should use to do that?

Many thanks.

Now that I have dropped my 1402 in favor of a pair of Bricks for preamps I have lost the ability to patch in a hardware compressor on the channel send of the mixer. Not necessarily a bad thing considering the only hardware compressor I have is a Alesis 3630.

working on my "stage computer" setup as described in ProAudio (and duely ignored...). Have an old practice amp (several) with a LINE OUT.
Where exactly in the chain is that signal coming from? Is it out at LineLevel?
real question is this- can i use the amp as a simple clean PREAMP before I send it to my soundcard from the LineOut?

Hi all
I'm looking for a mixer so I can monitor the outputs of the preamps I'm considering. I'm thinking about John Hardy at the moment, but I want a mixer that will get me as close as possible to plugging the pre directly into the AD converter, but will also allow me to hear what's going on.

Hey everyone,

I just recorded some fantastic drum tracks using Cubase on a G5 that has incredible processing power and memory...
the problem I'm having right now is that in trying to overdub some guitar parts there is a delay before Cubase reads the signal and so the drums and guitar are not in sync...
I think it has to do with either :

I route the signal the following way:

1. Mic
2. snake
3. Behringer UB2442FX Mixer
4. Digi 002Rack
5. Computer

If you get a decent preamp, will it be better to ignore the mixer (I know Behringer stuff is not good at all), and just go directly to the digi002 through the preamp (via ADAT for example) and use the mixer for monitoring only?

I have a lovely Pendulum to cover my tube pre needs. I don't have a tube mic, however. The cheap ones I've auditioned have a bit of gauze over the picture, but I assume good ones can sound spectacular and clear. Here's question 1. All things being equal which I know they are not, will a nice tube pre obviate a tube mic.

I dove in head first ! I'm a musician songwriter hooking up a new digital studio,and I need some advise on routing my signals through my equip. Behringer FX 2442 digital board, stereo 31 band EQ, dbx stereo comp. limiter, Lexicon MPX 500 EFX processor, 48 point balanced patchbay,Pro Tools 002 Rack. Any help would be greatly appreciated by this old analog guitar picker. Thanx ; RonnieC

hi guys!

due to output and input limitations on my mixer and soundcard, i can only have mono signals when i perform multi-track recording.

My question is: without being stereo, will the recorded vocals or instrument signals be ugly? is there any software plugin that can transform mono into stereo?

I'm quite inexperienced, please educate me more :)
