    PreSonus Control Console Mixer for the FireStudio

    Posted by admin on June 1st, 2010 and filed under Audio Mixing Software | 25 Comments »

    The FIRESTUDIO also includes the Control Console - a 36×36x18 DSP mixer/router for flexible mixing and direct routing any input to any output including the headphone output, with zero latency. The Control Console software application lives between your FireStudio interface and your DAW software enabling the mixing and routing of input streams coming into your FireStudio interface and playback stream coming from your DAW software. The Control Console is capable of creating up to nine stereo mixes and then routing to the outputs of your FireStudio for headphone mixes and various aux sends. This way everyone in the band and the recording engineer can have a custom mix. Also, the FireStudio is loaded with internal flash memory so that all Control Console settings are saved and recalled in the FireStudio during power off/on. This allows you to configure your FireStudio as a stand-alone device, without being connected to a computer for uses such as a submixer, A/D and D/A-converter, headphone mixer, format converter, instrument or microphone pre-amplifier!

    Where The Heart Flies, written by Marlo Henderson and Crystal McCarey. Music by Marlo Henderson, lyrics, vocals and vocal arrangements produced by Crystal McCarey.
    I was introduced to Nuendo by guitarist Marlo Henderson. I have been a songwriter and ASCAP member since 1980. I am recording with Nuendo audio and production software by Steinberg. The more I use it the better it’s getting. It’s fast and user friendly.

    The Steinberg tutorials on YouTube are helpful too. When I wanna sing over a track, I can quickly import the song, turn on the mic and start recording and arranging layers of vocals - fast. The mixer is straight forward too, the effects are right there, a click away for fast, easy experimentation.

    Get up and running with your original music productions with Nuendo Audio and Production software by Steinberg Media Technologies. Steinberg products support musicians and producers in creatively realizing their ideas — all the way from the first note through to the final production. Audio professionals working in film, TV and game production place especially heavy and specialized demands on their production systems.

    Steinberg’s Nuendo Audio and Recording Software offers a vast range of dedicated functions focused on post production, studio production and live recording that underscore the outstanding reputation of Nuendo as one of the world’s most powerful audio production systems. Learn more here:

    Where The Heart Flies
    Lyrics by Crystal McCarey,

    Spendin’ so much time
    thinkin about the love you feel
    you could reach out with that love
    but you don’t know that you can
    How will you know
    if you don’t go
    where the heart flies
    Can you survive in the dream
    that you’re trying to find
    every night
    Heart of steel, but it’s tearin’ apart
    In your heart, just can’t say it out loud
    Love is there in your heart
    so reach out

    In your wildest dreams
    There’s no better thing
    Than to be loved
    In love
    is the meaning of life and the joy of giving
    All the times that love
    came but passed you by
    you wouldnt fly
    with love
    your must fly
    with your heart

    Where the Heart Flies
    Where the Heart Flies
    Where the Heart Flies

    Roland Cakewalk UA-25EX USB Audio Interface - Nevada Music UK

    Posted by admin on April 21st, 2010 and filed under Audio Production Software | 2 Comments »

    http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/Computer-Music/MIDI-Equipment-and-Peripherals/MIDI-USB-and-Firewire-Interfaces/sc1569/p9050.aspx As some of you may be aware, Cakewalk (which was formerly part of Edirol) is now owned by Roland and last year they launched a new range of USB/Firewire/MIDI interfaces which are now badged as “Cakewalk by Roland”. The UA-25EX is a 24 bit/96 Khz USB Audio interface for PC and Mac formats that provides all of the necessary connectivity options for those musicians who record using a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).

    Using this process normally involves connectivity between a PC or Mac running music production software and a range of electronic and acoustic instruments and voices - hence the need for an interface box so that the MIDI instruments or Condenser microphones can communicate with the music production software hosted by the computer. The music is converted into data and when recorded is played back either as an audio sample or MIDI data, or even a mixture of both.

    The UA-25EX provides all of the interface options required with 2 x XLR inputs, and /or stereo jack inputs for keyboards/ guitar and bass plus a USB input & MIDI IN/OUT. Aside from this there’s a host of added features that will enhance the recording process such as built-in limiting and compression, microphone pre-amps, Digital Optical input & Output, Stereo RCA outputs and not forgetting a stereo headphone input - and all of this in glorious 24 BIT/96 Khz resolution.

    How To: Record An Album - Editing Audio Using Software/Mixing

    Posted by admin on March 24th, 2010 and filed under Audio Mixing Software | 4 Comments »

    A fellow musician I collaborate with wrote a song called “Ten Years Gone.” We jam together in his studio space and I’m taking the audio tracks back to my studio space to edit and mix the tracks. I’m also adding additional guitar tracks. At this point the mixing will be off… we’ll find the drums are too quiet now because the original mix was set to have only one guitar. But with the additional guitar added we can get an idea of how the song will go. So when we record the song again with the new changes, we can do the mix properly. I’ll show that in an upcoming video.
