Well I forgot to mention that when I disable the group it turns off the flex time button at the top and looks like all the transients go back to where they were before quantizing them

]Hello Guys, I working on a project where I am actually working with live drums for the first time. I found a tutorial on how to quantize them to "lock up to the grid" and everything sounds great. But now that I've done that and since I the tutorial said I needed to put all the drums into a Group I can't seem to just bounce down each individual track by themselves. When I right-click on one track (for instance "Kick (sample)) and "bounce in place" it ends up bouncing the entire kit or group. Anyone know a way around this? I mean I guess other than solo'ing each track and bouncing project?

Thanks guys! Got it to work after doing the aggregate device setting. Only issue was that I could control the volume input of the mics connected to the duet interface but the USB had no means of controlling the volume, from what I could figure out.

Hey Guys, I currently have the apogee duet 2 which has been nice but I am producing a podcast where I will need to have multiple mics set up. With the Duet you have 2 inputs for mics/instruments but I am also wanting to connect a USB mic. In short, I'm wanting to have 3 mics recording on separate tracks all at once (2 mics from my Duet and 1 mic from the USB mic). How can I do this? Is there a setting in preferences to allow that? Thanks for any help!

Awesome! Really interesting articles!

Hopefully this is the right place to post this. So I've just finished a pretty large mix and have it sounding the way I want. I know that before sending to the mastering engineer that it should be below 0.0db. BUT Oops! of course, I forgot that half way through my mix. So now that the highest point that it peaks at is +0.5, I'm trying to find the best way of turning it all down. grr. Firstly, here's how my project is set up: I have a Drums bus, Synths bus, Vox bus, etc. They all route to a Mix bus. The Mix bus then routes to the Master Fader (stereo output). The Mix bus has automation (volume and eq) while I left the Master Fader (stereo output) alone. So... I know that you can just pull the individual faders down BUT since I have automation on almost all the individual tracks and buses I'm trying to figure out how to bring the overall volume down for the mastering engineer without having to go in one-by-one to each fader. I've done that before and what happens is that while you bring the individual tracks down (and volume automation), the FX bus volumes are all still set to the same volume and levels. Basically bringing the tracks down but when the effects come in, they are super loud. So this won't work. The only other thing I can think of is putting the gain knob plugin on the Mix Bus (not the Master fader) but THEN I read that it isn't really doing anything for turning the levels down, its just turning down the sound. So I don't know anymore. Is there any truth to that? Any advice? Also I'm trying to figure out this loudness metering plugin. What is the best RMS/LUFS/etc to be peaking at? There's so many conflicting opinions that I've read but I'm just curious what you all think

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum so I hope I am posting in the right area. I've run into a huge problem this week and haven't been able to come to a solution. I have 3 HDs: one iMac 2011 internal HD (1TB), one OWC Mercury Elite Pro (2TB) and one Mercury Elite-AL Pro (2TB). According to many posts that I have read online for optimal performance you should keep one drive dedicated to all your LPX projects and samples which is why I save all of those to my Mercury Elite Pro. I just recently started working on a mix with over 100 tracks (all audio). The project will load up quickly but when trying to make the simplest edits, I get the crazy spinning beach ball for 2 seconds and finally it will play but when I press pause the playhead will continue playing about a second before actually stopping. It's making it almost impossible to work. I don't think it is a RAM issue because: - I have 20GB RAM - I never get the System overload message - I've changed buffering to different sizes (128-1024) - I've toggled through cores but typically leave it on automatic - And most of all in the CPU meter the CPU looks fine but the HD meter is freaking out every time I press play. This is why I am thinking it is an HD issue. Both external drives have 7200rpm with 800FW so I don't think they should be that slow. Other projects seem to be fine even when recording and I believe the most tracks I've worked with in the past have been about 70 tracks (both audio and midi, including effect plugins) but never had this problem. Do you guys have any suggestions? An SSD is a little much for my budget at the moment. This happens as soon as I click play. But it doesn't start playing for about 2 seconds.
