What do you recommend for stereo mic bars? I'm adding these to my tool box.

My mix sounds good, but is a bit wide. Yes, I could fiddle and pull each track more towards the center, but I understand there are plugins like the S1 that can pull the mix to the center, i.e., folding everything in proportion, right down to mono if need be. I need a plugin like this, but on a budget.

Are there any other options out there?

Im having problems with Cubase 5. Just bought it and I have some reason 5 projects I want to import.

The problem is, Cubase doesnt have rewire stereo channels. Or does it?

Can anyone tell me how to set up stereo rewire channels from reason into Cubase 5?

Thank you!

Hi there,

I hear that double tracking is a nice way to get a full acoustic sound. I also understand that it is typically done with two mono tracks, but I am wondering if it can be done effectively with two stereo tracks, done in XY configuration, or is this overburdening the recording?

Hello again,

I am puzzled about where I should be applying my effects, and whether there is any detrimental effect to summing effects in serial. Let's say I have guitar, bass, and drum tracks, and that they benefit from some processing. Should I be treating them individually, say by soloing the track and adding effects there, or should I be adding reverb and compression to all of them in the stereo bus?

Hello folks,

I am so very new to the recording zone and would love to get some input.

I've been looking on google shopping for a voice recorder that I can use for singing. I'm sure there are much better alternatives to a handheld voice recorder, but that's what I'm looking for.

Hi everyone,

The mid-side (M-S) stereo recording technique puts the center of the soundstage (mid) in one channel and the side information in the other. These mid and side channels can be adjusted and reconfigured to accurately represent a conventional left and right stereo image (on their own, they do not give you a left/right image).
