    Tried out EzMix2 in a couple different ways

    Bonus tracks?

    Over the years, I've come to see a mostly negative opinion of including bonus tracks on CDs? How about you? Are they good or bad, in your opinion? Personally, I like to have bonus tracks that bring something different to the palette - sometimes even completely different styles! Sometimes they...

    Your favourite shirt pressing company? (Europe)

    I'm just disappointed with the cost of making shirts in Finland, so which are your favourite print shops in Europe for making good shirts for decent prices? The amounts will be in the 100 - 300 range, nothing huge.

    Fix incorrectly made MIDI? Tempo is wrong, but sounds "normal"

    Is there an easy way to fix a MIDI that sounds correct when played, but it has the wrong base tempo? Meaning, it sounds like a song being played at 112 BPM, but the actual tempo of the MIDI file is 12 BPM (about 9 times slower than what it sounds like). So when you use that MIDI in a project...

    So I changed power tubes without biasing

    Whatcha gonna do, with just a digital multimeter available :lol: Mostly I just checked that the filaments aren't competing with the sun, and that the sound is what it should (not too hot). For safety, I trimmed the bias pot just a tad beyond minimum. :zzz: Anyone else living on the...

    Vortech, new track on Soundcloud (industrial metal)

    Just as promised, the album the song will be on, is going to be much more electronic than usual ;) Breakbeats, heavy guitars, industrial melodies and experimentation. My cup of coffee, hehe. Here's one track showcasing it: http://soundcloud.com/user1165475/vortech-chronologic-disorder One...

    Cubase 5 - recording in non-standard location?

    And I wish it was some sandbeach :lol: But what about when the cursor is currently in, say, bar 84.3.1 (halfway through bar 84, on count "3" of a 4/4 cycle; 1-2-3-4). When I press record, the cursor jumps back to the beginning of the bar (location 84.1.1, count "1" of 1-2-3-4). How can I...

    Shit, my Fireface 400 died

    Just out of the blue, I heard these grating high-pitched noises, and POP! The Fireface powered off and disappeared from the system. It will not power on at all anymore :( Just what I needed. Hopefully RME has a better RMA system than what their customer support attitude is like.

    New Vortech EP out now for free! (indu. death metal)

    I just released a new EP in preparation for the upcoming fifth full length Vortech album coming early next year :) While the EP contains songs from the same writing sessions as the album, the songs are slightly different in style, which is why they aren't on the album. And another thing that...

    Most annoying lyrical clichés?

    I was again writing lyrics for an album, and this idea popped into my mind. I was constantly re-writing some parts because I either had used them already, or I felt they've been in a bazillion other songs :lol: So, time to list 'em ;) Your (least) favourite clichés in rock/metal lyrics? (or...

    Win7 64-bit + Cubase 5: worse performance than WinXP+CubaseSX3?

    I recently installed Win7 64-bit on my system and updated (with a clean install) Cubase SX3 to Cubase 5 (64-bit). In addition, I added an SSD as the system drive and added 6 GB of DDR3, bringing the total to 9 GB DDR3 (3x1GB + 3x2GB). The CPU is still Intel Core i7 920. All is well, I thought...

    Is there some built-in audio limiter in Windows 7?

    It seems strange, but on many occasions there is audible pumping when I playback audio in Windows 7 :err: This is very prominent when, for example, I play music and then start to play some game. Whenever something even slightly louder happens in the game, the music ducks out A LOT. With the...
