Recording with Protools and cubase?!?!

[tommy]

Righty then: finally got meself sorted and ready to record my mix onto cd. Iv'e got protools (the free version), and cubase vst32, but haven't got the faintest on how to record into them! Any clues

[tommy]

Kinda figured out how to get Cubase going, but think I'm gonna have to get something else to use to record mixes.

[TomD]

are you sequencing a mix together on your PC (i.e. it's not live off your decks) ?

[Mr_Happy]

tommy - if ur just trying to record a mix then y dont u just use soundforge or cooledit (pro) etc

[TomD]

yeah that's what i was thinking

 

soundforge all the way, then save as individual tracks, stick into nero and burn.

[Rob D]

Definitely agree, recording mixes onto pro tools means that afterwards you have to bounce to disk, which takes the length of the mix. Use sound forge or wavelab (and you can trackmark in wavelab as well). both available on kazaa lite!

[tommy]

Wahay!!!!!!!!!!

 

Finally managed to d/l soundforge from Kazza (I will of course pay for the real thing if I continue to use it ).

 

Very impressed with it. Free cds all round!!

[Mr_Happy]

thier owned by sony now and sony r famous 4 over charging so consider it ur fringe benefit 4 buying such over priced goods in the past

If I have bought anything by Sony, then that has been my choice. There is no way you can justify stealing from an organisation. Two wrongs don't make a right. All I would be doing by stealing, would be bringing myself down to their level.

 

Shame on you Laurence.

Well said that man. When I get the funds, I wil purchase the trial software I am using. If people don't pay for software, new stuff doesn't get written. If people don't pay for music, artists can't afford to write new stuff.

 

Next thing you know, no-one will be paying to go into clubs, they will all be sneaking in through the toilet windows.

When tools such as SoundForge are this good they should be bought - if you want to see the products continue to develop well they will only do so with funding !

 

There was that company that went bust the other day which was all down to pirating.

 

I tend to 'evaluate' all products and then when i've decided upon the one I'm actually going to use day in day out I go and purchase it - especially as you get a hardcopy manual, sample CDs etc..

 

Can someone tell me the best tool for setting track marks on one big .wav file - so i can then put them straight to CD with no pauses between songs ? I know this is in another post somewhere!

James,

 

Yo dude !

 

Easiest way to split without breaks on a wav file :

 

record your mix as wav (yes sound forge 6 is the nuts)

 

create audio cd in nero 5.5

 

click properties in the left hand window (of the wav of course)

 

select 0 instead of 2 for track break

 

then click the splits tab

 

wait a while for your pc to show the wav in display form

 

click split button at appropriate places

 

click ok

 

Are you sure;;;; Yes.

 

Hey presto, one wav file (original untouched) split into tracks by nero - with no break providing you click "disc at once"

 

it'll force you to put a 2 second gap on the 1st track but, hey, thats unavoidable.

 

SAVE IT

 

job done.
