    Re-amp DI's, how hot?

    I'm curious to find out how people would track their DI's to re-amp later on in the process. I was always told in practice to keep it between -3db to -6db for extra headroom but there are stems I've downloaded, YouTube videos suggesting to have it just before clipping. Having done that, I found...

    Audio Interface to FOH?

    Hey all, This might sound somewhat stupid but I was wondering if it's necessary or an overkill to have the interface's balanced outs through to a DI box before the house's mixer? I'm patching multi-outs stems from Ableton, TRS to XLR cables out from the interface. Thanks!

    Interface latency sync with DAW?

    Is there a tutorial on this or does anyone know of an accurate way to do it? I'm currently using Studio One 3 as my DAW with my Scarlett interface and I'm beginning to find the latency (my drivers are set to the lowest 2-3ms), annoying when it comes to the editing stage. Thanks for reading!

    Input gain for hot DI's?

    Hello, just a quick question. I'm tracking DI's through the Inst on my Focusrite with gain all set to none. It's relatively peaking at 0dbfs. Studio One has this option where you could control the gain coming from the inputs, would it work the same way as if I'm turning down the gain knob on...

    Poor man's Roland SPDS?

    Hello all, On a real tight budget, I'm looking to use custom kicks samples to be triggered for live use. I'm willing to give around $200-$250 for it. Did some digging, triggering via software seems a bit too risky/difficult for me with all the routing and latency problems. So right now...

    Stacking saturation plugs, overkill?

    Hello all, I've got a huge dilemma where my mixes are dense and having alot going on got me thinking, the mutliplied 'warmness' I get from my saturation plugs in my channel strip could be the cuplrit. I'm a huge fan of Will Putney's work and the sponginess that you hear from his mixes with...

    The cleanest way to get my DI's?

    What's the most cleanest way to record Guitar/Bass DI's without clipping through my current chain of a POD HD Pro and a Focusrite Scarlett? I've read that the best would be through SPDIF as it's more 'direct' without any ADC going on. Is this true? I'm gonna be using X50/LeCab for my tones...

Currently running through my POD HD Pro/Focusrite Scarlett interface and it's always been a little too thin and boxy for...

    Firewire/USB dilemma? Help on building a solid DAW?

    I've always been using my laptop as my DAW for a good while now and I'm thinking of upgrading to a decent desktop.

    Trillian newbie

    Hey all, I'm pretty sure there's some Trillian users hanging around here. Anyway, just bought it but I can't seem to get it to realistically "strum" or "run" as to how you would pick a bass guitar? I have a 49 key Midi Controller, would that be the problem? Am I missing something here...

    Upgrading from POD HD 500?

    I was thinking of the POD HD Pro, I know it doesn't match up to the godly Axe-Fx II but it's really affordable. I'm looking for a rack setup, priority would be my studio work before shows but it works both ways I feel. I've got a couple of questions though. Would it work good for recording bass...
