if you're on a Mac you need to set them both up as one Aggregate Device in the Audio/MIDI Setup Utility and then use that aggregate device in Cubase as your interface. Make sure their word clocks are sync'd with a BNC cable. Otherwise if you're on windows I can't help you but I'm sure someone else ...

thanks. ive got them connected via firewire, and both devices are recognized by cubase, however in the VST connections screen, it will only allow me to choose channels from the Master fireface. it has device ports 1-28 listed as options. do device ports 11-20 for example correspond to the inputs on ...

Unplug the connection between the mixer/interface and the computer. If the hum is there then the issue is probably between the power connections of the mixer/interface and the speakers. this appears to be the source of the hum. i am using balanced cables so i suppose cutting the shield wire would b...

thanks very much. ill troubleshoot it in a little bit and see what i discover.

one of my monitors has an annoying hum that is perpetually there. i have tried different cables and that wasnt the issue. when i put the computer to sleep that cuts down on the hum significantly but it is still slightly audible. but obviously i cant record while the computer is sleeping. any ideas o...

i cant really comment directly on what you have experienced, but maybe it has a lot to do with the way technology has changed things, or at least the perceived change that technology brings. The average kid today probably got into recording with some kind of home digital setup, and the options they ...

but i need some help figuring out how to use 2 interfaces in conjunction with each other, specifically my 2 Firefaces into Cubase (SL v. 3.0). i figured just hook up SPDIF out of the 'slave' to the SPDIF in of the 'master' but that didnt seem to work. im guessing the actual connecting of the two uni...

It's nearly impossible to have a discussion about 'recording techniques' that does not involve 'gear talk', and vice versa.. true, but i dont think there's anything wrong with a little crosstalk. i wasnt a huge fan of the specialization of the boards when it happened, but I think its kind of cool n...

mad props to all the moderators and their work to keep the boards organized and especially all the great posts they have made. and i dont think the original poster mentioned him, but cgarges is a good moderator too! show him some love.

it can also make things sound less tiny

and change the timbral qualities of a track and add distortion and limit pesky transients that arent desired in a given context. and most importantly they look cool and people ask about them when they come into your studio.

maybe try doubling but mix the double track pretty low so it doesnt have that classic 'doubled vocal' sound if that doesnt fit the music. maybe have the singer get right up on the mic to take advantage of some natural boost from the proximity effect. the right compressor might help a bit (old dbx 16...

Cut out the 'dreck' by finding the 'ugly spots' with a parametric... sweeping around with a narrow Q boosted way up until you find the ugly/noisy bits, and then cutting that frequency a bit. ive fooled around with this approach a little bit but it hasnt really clicked with me yet. is it better to d...

Yep, December 8th. And Surf's Up - go for it man. You just can't do your name song, because I already did

*sigh of relief*

yeah i dont think i could pull that one off anyway.

Id like to try 'Forever' if thats not taken.

i know its a bit late but id love to get in on this. i have a friend who's done probably half a dozen beach boys covers so if i can convince him to work on one with me, then we'll get one together before the 8th. either way i cant wait to hear the other entries.

hehe cool song that you're doin 8) i love those moments when you just get back to basics, stick a mic in front of something and just play. i think with all the creative recording ideas that i get tempted to experiment with, its easy to lose track of the fact that you have to bring good stuff to the ...
