Need help finding specific hardware (involving RCAs and XLR)

Hey guys,

so here's the deal, I have a few synths and players that all have an RCA output, including my focusrite saffire 6 usb that has RCA outputs. The problem is that i'd like to hook them up to speakers that have an XLR input. I could just get the right cables yes, but the problem is some of my ...

Re: Is an external soundcard important?

Okay, I'm not on the fence about this at all, but I will probably give you the most direct answer.

Buy what you need.

There will be a lot of people here saying spend big or go home, ask them what they've got. They may have a focusrite saffire 6 or a Lexicon, but they have never recorded in using ...

Heinous

The track in my sig, worked 2 days on it, almost non-stop :D

I have a version that is with headroom, this one is me trying to do some mastering, and it's tough with a song like this... so many things going at once... maybe that's the problem. The headroom version sounds nice and clean though, just ...

Re: WIPs/unfinished tunes for feedback * no finished tunes *

@arfus I think it sounds pretty damn good! Maybe the synth is a BIT loud, but overall the production is good, I really have nothing bad to say about it, looking forward to the whole thing

@Kes-Es, it's different, so I like it. The sub downsweep is WAY too high though man, everytime it passes ...

Re: Is an external soundcard important?

Your right having real digital sound processing and a set of REAL A/D D/A converters really will set your sound quality backwards.. not to mention ASIO drivers are a joke so f(*k it right... you better stick with a crappy onboard stereo mini jack setup that has a shit ton of white noise and ...

Re: Is an external soundcard important?

Thanks man. But thing is, right now they sound fine. And when I check the external sound cards, I just see RCA outputs mostly, and one XLR, for mics and stuff I guess. Buying an external seems like it'd put me back, since i'd have to get additional cables. I'm not really trying to achieve perfection ...

I have 2 krk RP5s and the RP10 subwoofer. It might seem that, with these, I have a fair bit of cash but it's not the case :P Right now, all ...

Re: WIPs/unfinished tunes for feedback * no finished tunes *

@ filthzilla: Damn! I really love this one. The rhythm and composition is really sweet! I don't really know what to say, maybe some parts feel a bit empty, a pad or more hi hats might work, but again I think it's pretty damn good as it is! Keep up the great work man

Re: Need help giving more low-end growl to a sound

is that seriously a synth!?
sounds like a Jurassic Park sample!

and you state, slight distortion, but why does that sound heavily distorted?

lower the volume levels.
and some unison to it

Haha yep, just a couple of massive instances and a wow filter. I think it's the combination of the built ...

Haha thanks everyone :) I'm uploading screenies of how I made it, but truthfully it's nothing much, just porta and distortion. I'm gonna try all your techniques to see what I can come up with! :corndance:

Re: Need help giving more low-end growl to a sound

too much reverb. you could just put reverb on the tail and just reverb the highs. You could try to sweep in the lower end with a notch filter and add some distortion on it... That`s a sample, right?

Nope it's a synth I made with massive, with added simple eq and light distortion :)

sorry for ...

Re: Need help giving more low-end growl to a sound

idk i wouldnt really consider it much of a bass though. its def a bit higher up. sounds like a dinosaur roaring. does sound cool though ill give you that. if you cant figure out how to give it more low end i would just eq it more and use it as an intro effect. i think it would be really sick if you ...

and while it's all fun messing around, it kinda sounds.... flat. Even though I barely used distortion and little EQ, the roar doesn ...
