    I need your Help!

    AFAIK and have heard...

     

    WAV invented by PC headz, AIFF invented by the Apple crowd.

     

    Same sized files. same quality. just the data is written in different ways. apparently the AIFF data is written in such a way that your computer can access it / open it / save it quicker. or so I have heard.  so in theory it is better to use AIFF when you have multiple audio tracks, playing live etc.

     

    but I cannot comfirm any of this for sure. main thing is both are appropriate.

    apparently the only difference between aiff and wav is the header:

    pcm = pcm.

    Still it doesnt cover the whole thing, for example, it doesnt talk about the diferences in audio formats like wav. ; aiff. ; etc

    i recently discovered that there isnt a difference, i always knew they were both pcm, but they seem to be totaly identical. just a matter of the extention i guess...

     

    try changing the name of a wav file to aiff, youll discover it still plays...

    If you have the settings correct the hold time IS the length of the midi note. I used to have a link to an old Steinberg help article that shows how to use it properly this way, but after being sold basically twice now that link has gone missing. I should probably just make a tutorial myself on this since I've been thinking about it for awhile anyways.

    Hey Jikkenteki,

     

    i phoned a friend today and we discoverd that my midi gate is buggy, works for him... the only setting according to him to get the "midi note lenth" = "gate hold time" is "hold mode" set to "note-off" . this doesnt work with my version. another funny thing is, and i find this very weird, that when i click the steinberg icon on the gate to get infos, the release time gets even longer...???

     

    i guess its just a bug...

     

    my version of the gate is 1.0 2001.

    If I may hijack the thread for a moment, what do you feel are the weaknesses with Cubase's Midigate? I only ask since I have never had a problem with it in any form since VST5.

    well Jikkenteki,

     

    the main weakness is the fact that the hold time is fixed by the envelope generator of the gate, i find this a real drawback. imo the hold time should be triggerd an held as long as the midi note.

    maybe you could also try "Sonic Syndicate TB1 Talkbox", it does vowels on vocals and other audio material.

     

    i couldnt find it to download anywhere though, it was freeware that came with a music mag a couple of years ago. and it doesnt seem to be on the sonic syndicate site....

     

    good luck finding it....

    Recording from external instrument

    have you connected the input of your audio card to aux 1 or 2, im asking this because only aux 2 seems to be prefade. if not then connect to aux 2 because this will prevent feedback while recording, meaning you can have the channel fader down while recording and you can monitor through your computer.

     

    make sure that your audio card is configured right, i.e. that you have selected the right input for recording. you can do this by clicking on the sound card icon at the bottom right in the taskbar, select dropdown menu "options" them "preferences" then click on record. make sure that the right sound card is selected, mainboards with sound on board often have the on board card set as default device. then choose the right input of your audio card.

     

    also make sure that you have chosen the right driver for the software you are using, again there are often problems with sound on board.

     

    once you have cleared the above you should be ready to record. so again while recording or setting up to record make sure the channel fader is tuned down and the auxilary turned up. see if you can monitor through your computer, if so then it should work.

     

    good luck.

    Ahoy!

     

    I bought the SM57, quite a nice mic by the looks of it. I still need to buy a XLR cable though.

    I dont know if i fucked the mic up now. I took off the head piece to have a look and the wiring, and when i took it off, there 2 red wires just hanging around, not going into anything? :huh:

    Is it meant to be like that? i obviously would know if it works because i havnt got the cable?

     

    Any owners of this have something to say? :huh:

    are there still two wires solderd to the capsul?

    nice thread stalker!

     

    some basic effects like delay, gate, reverb etc are the blue line effects, they are very old now but are extremly cpu friendly. ive been using them for a few years now.

     

    find them here: http://www.sonicspot.com/daplugins.html

     

    another favorite the virtual-analogue drumsynthesize by e-phonic called drumatic, ive been using version 2 for some time now, quite good for kiks.

     

    find it here: http://www.e-phonic.com/

     

    two more links with freeware stuff:

    Pre Amp Mixer/Pedal

    If i was to get the mixer, would i definately need the mic to record??? :huh:

    I was told yesterday by someone that all i need is a power mixer, like the Behringer UB series, plug my guitar into there and my sound card too?

     

    Is having the mic nessary? :huh:

    no you dont need a mic, only if you want that "amped" sound. you can definitely use just a mixer. it will be cheaper too, especialy if you get a behringer.

     

    good luck.

    there are two ways to solve your problem:

     

    1. go with the virtual guitar amp like "line 6 pod", this is the simpler of the two solutions. just plug your guitar into the pod and the pod directly to the line input of your audio card. my father uses the pod for stage because it saves him having to carry an extra heavy flightcase for the guitar amp.

     

    2. get yourself a decent dynamic mic like the sure sm57 and a good mixer to use as a preamp. like mylo suggested. this is definitely the more elegant way of recording a guitar. most guitarists that i know prefere this method because its their sound, i.e. what they are used to.
