You mean a sampler then ;) Really? I am so confused. I used to use an Alesis SR-16 when I recorded on tape. I'm just trying to find something like that to use in Cubase, honestly. Almost any drum VST is going to be the same architechture as a VST sampler with a different skin. EZ drummer and the li...

Simple - MAX earplugs offer -37dB and are very cheap in bulk. I leave multiple packs in every bag, box, pocket and vehicle so they are always at hand. I do plenty of work that can hit way above 120dB and I have tried many more expensive plugs yet always come back to these babies. Sonically, the top ...

Could work out, but could also be risky if you ever need loud monitors. That part could be a real nightmare unless you go IEM because any feedback creeping into a dub fx chain will go nuclear pretty quick. Limiters would again raise your noisefloor and all you might need at FOH is a touch of compres...

Hang on - anyone able to bounce tracks to .WAV and save MIDI files in a folder has probably future-proofed their work for decades, no matter what system or DAW so long as you label things clearly its done and dusted. You can restore these sessions in just minutes on any current system or likely any ...

1. Keep one hand behind your back 2. Make a cap discharge tool 3. Keep one hand behind your back I'd be a bit concerned about your "other modifications" idea. The above might get you through popular mods when following detailed instructions, but its not sound advice unless you know exactly what you'...

1. There is no cheap fix! 2. You need to be damned sure that sound is not escaping from other points before you blame everything on the door. 3. Mass-air-mass, forget plywood as it has very little mass. I would suggest a double wall using half inch sheetrock on the outside with mineral wool (no less...

I have bounced stereo files through a mono preamp many times and you should have no problem bouncing one channel at a time via your DAW. If you are concerned about the sync its easy enough to test - process one channel twice giving you two separate but identical bounces, reverse the phase on one and...

The more tubey and expensive you go, the more characteristic your mic response. One session I was doing with a songwriting team and session vocals we hired in the AKG C12, a lovely mic but this particular singer was not sounding great down it. The session ran over and the hire company came to collec...

Yes - multi with TRS tails into a project box about 4x3x2 inches, pretty secure as the box is metal with plastic ends and a heavy cable gland. Stripboard could be mounted in the internal slots or held with silicone and the passive network is reduced to a couple inches of stripboard and pops out with...
