    Building bass traps using activated carbon

    Hi, I'm resurrecting this older thread that I started some time ago. As in true fashion, I didn't get round to sorting out the acoustics in my room due to a number of things. One in particular that has affected us all in the last year! I have taken a measurement of my listening position and...

    Any MetaGrid Experts wCubase 10 Really Need Help Here..

    Hi. Resurrecting this older thread rather than start a new one. I am setting up Metagrid in Cubase Pro 10.5 and while I seem to have the presets working in Metagrid (quantise, velocity etc) I can't see the metagrid sub menu in Logical Editor and Proj Logical Editor. In the set up videos on...

    Building bass traps using activated carbon

    Thanks for the replies. Yes I certainly wouldn't get them to build for me as that would be way too expensive! I was curious with all their hype wether the charcoal does make a difference. Thing is I find the science a mine field and while I'm capable of building them, it's knowing what to build...

    Building bass traps using activated carbon

    Hi. Just wondering if anyone has built bass traps using the plans from acoustic fields. How effective do you think is the activated carbon/charcoal? Also is their charcoal specialist unique product or can I source it elsewhere? I'm asking as I live in the uk and shipping would be very expensive...

    Help with BCF 2000 and cubase 10

    Hi. Thanks for the reply Novaburst. I went to look on behringers site for firmware/drivers and there's nothing for Mac. However I think it might be an USB issue as the light for usb disappears on the BCF2000 when the problem kicks in. Also the bcf2000 icon is greyed out in Midi setup/settings on...

    Help with BCF 2000 and cubase 10

    Hi. I hope someone can help me out. I've been using my Behringer BCF2000 for some time for controlling midi cc's and it has been very reliable. However since upgrading to cubase 10 it seems to stop working intermittently. When I start cubase I often have to turn the bcf2000 off and on again for...

    Mixing Benny Oschmann - Short Flight in a Big Balloon

    Thanks Rico for the reply. Yes I think having libs from the same room/devs definitely helps. Also level balance between sections is crucial which I think you have done very convincingly. It's a great piece and now that I have the score would be a good tester for my template-If i ever stop...

    Mixing Benny Oschmann - Short Flight in a Big Balloon

    Hi Rico. Have been listening over and over to your mock up and I must say it sounds great! The balance between sections seems really good and it all sounds to me like they are playing in the same space. Can I ask how much work have you done to balance depth with each section as I am trying to...

    Hi. Update on my remote desktop setting up. I installed a fresh copy of windows 10 ( been thinking about it for some time and with all the trouble I had with the pc seemed like a good time).

    Setting up remote desktop

    Hi Nick. Thanks for this. I set up static ip's on the Macs and looked up how to do it on windows 7. To be honest things didn't look right on the pc compared to what was in the tutorial i looked at but set it up best i could and it worked until I powered the pc down and rebooted. There's some...

    Setting up remote desktop

    Hi Nick thanks for getting back. Right looking at the network window on my Mac master and Configure ipv4 says Using DHCP. So I need to change this? Also do I change this on the Mac slave? and configure a static IP address on the pc slave?

    A Mac Pro 6.1 as an interim solution?

    Yes Cato the hd is a worry you're right. There are others available which are more expensive but at the moment the only others have the d300 graphics card. I have heard and read from earlier posts in this thread that there can be an issue with these cards. Again not being technically minded a...

    A Mac Pro 6.1 as an interim solution?

    Hi Cato. Thanks for the reply. I normally run a large template for orchestral mock ups.My Template runs up to around 700 tracks, but the majority of that is streamed in from a PC slave running VEPRO I do have a number of instruments in the main DAW running kontakt/omnisphere etc and disabled...

    Advice on a Mac Pro 6,1 refurb

    Hi. I'm looking to get a Mac Pro 6,1 refurb and can't decide which would be the best to get.I have a slave pc with 64 gigs of ram running Vepro so most of my libs would stream of that. At the moment I'm using a Mac Pro 5,1 as my DAW main comp. I've just upgraded my audio interface to an Apollox...

    A Mac Pro 6.1 as an interim solution?

    Hi Cato and Hunter123. A few months have passed and I was wondering how the Mac Pro 6.1 is holding up? I am looking to get a refurbished trashcan (6core/d500 card/256 int memory) Very similar to what you went for. How do you find it? Does it handle large templates?

    Anybody using the new mac mini?

    I was looking at a refurbished trashcan but then came across the mini.I would be using it for cubase and pro tools. I have a slave for sample libs but would still want instruments/plugins etc running on it. I guess I was swayed by the mac mini being shiny and new compared to a used bin!! But the...

    Junkie xl tips on server units

    Thanks Pete for the advice. Yes and I guess I'd have to be lucky to snap something up before someone else does. Especially as I'm not that desperate to trawl the net for hours. Junkie xl just got me curious. I think a second simple slave would suit me ( if there's such a thing!!) Cheers

    Junkie xl tips on server units

    Thanks for all of your replies. I already have a slave running VEP. I just thought maybe that it would be a cheaper alternative to another pc, but as you all mentioned costs creep in elsewhere (air con etc). I actually have 32 gigs of DDR3 ram sitting in their box after upgrading my slave. I...

    Cubase Sending CC messages after playback

    Hi. For some reason (probably something I've done without realising!)Cubase seems to be sending CC messages to my Behringer BCF2000 intermittently after I press stop. It'll reset my mod and exp fader and then the BCF200 doesn't respond.Then again randomly the faders will move and it will work...

    Alternative MIDI Controller Concept

    NI The Giant Velocity problem

    NI The Giant Velocity problem

    NI The Giant Velocity problem

    Thanks Katzenjammer that sounds like a plan that could well work. I'll try it out tonight. No effects on the channel Pixel.

    NI The Giant Velocity problem

    Hi. I've been having problems with NI's The Giant where the first note or chord of a recorded phrase plays back at a louder velocity/level than recorded or mixed. It does it when playing back in the arrange window in Cubase and after the first chord/note it settles to what it should be. it...

    First chord/notes sound louder than mixed after mixdown in Cubase

    Will a Quad Core processor be enough?

    Thanks for the replies. I was thinking of Intel Core i7-4820K S2011 3.70GHz 10MB 4-Core Processor. To go with an Asus P9X79 Mb. The ram I have is DDR3. Does this limit me as to what I can go for? I figured that trying to match my current slave makes sense. Just Quad core is cheaper. But if it...
