I was trying out Kurt's suggestions about re-amping the guitar tracks to create layer of heavy sounding guitars. I threw a cables from the headphone output of my aadrvark q10 straight into the clean channel of my mesa boogie dual rectifier head. I hear the guitar allright but I aslo hear a pretty loud "hum" sound. I tried using the main outs from the Aardvar but same story.

Right i've just finished mastering some tracks on my computer using soundforge. The process was 16 track -> computer -> normalise -> compression and limiting bringing the overall volume up to a steady 0.0 decibels. However on putting the files onto CD, it is noticebly quieter than other CDs.

...deciding what I should do for the signal chain of my home studio.

Purpose: voice-over demos/auditions

Budget: Up to $600 for a versatile piece of equipment

Idea: a single box that will preamp the mic, apply adjustable compression, and have an EQ capability

One possibility is the Focusrite "Penta" at $399 (samash)

I believe I have managed to get a pretty decent drum sound/mix for my current project. It's sampled sounds, played by a real drummer. I'm quite happy with Kick, Snare, Hats and the Cymbals. My only trouble exists with the toms.

Have a P3 running Cubase Sx and Reaosn at 1113 mhz. I'm Getting an audio buzz and the red hard drive led comes on when the buzz happens. Usually when running Reason. It's an AZUS motherboard.

Is this a problem of not having enough processing power ? :eek:

Hello. I just bought a Tascam US-224 and I seem to be having the same (frustrating) issue as these two Tascam users --

I have noticed an increase in complaints concerning mp3.com recently. They have re-vamped their process, and everything now is more confusing and takes longer. I attribute this (I'm guessing here) to a combination of increasing submissions and cuts in staff.
