comment Absorbing Room - materials, their shapes, what's the difference?
re monitoring, stick with headphones for now. The notion of a "true sound" coming from high-end speakers is misguided. The guy you hope someday will be listening to your music will either have it on an ipod or in his car (or on an ipod connected to his car). Good headphones are made by beyerdynamic (dt880, dt990, etc.). Get a pair of those and a bunch of different medium-to-low end 2.1 (left, right, sub) systems. do your mixing on the headphones and your mastering on the crap consumer speakers.

Making a somewhat bigger box will allow you to try neat tricks involving hard panels (wood, lexan, doesn't matter) that can reflect sound back at the mic.Expereimentation can be fun, but exceptionally wonderful results are improbable. Conversely, depending on your amp and mic some paneling with absorptive foam on it that you can position in fromt of the amp might be sufficient. You can try that first if you have more time.

Well, if you're just doing amped guitar, your problem is alot simpler. Essentially you don't really have any use for the room sound - you will put all the effects (including room/hall reverb if any ) in the mix. All you have to do for the recording portion of the program is make a box big enough to hold the amp and isolate that. Should be some plans online somewhere, but essentially it's an enclosed box with an isolative lining covered by an absorptive lining, big enough to hold the amp and a mic stand.

Yes, this would be a big problem. Solution is to lower the mixer fader of the relevant mic channel to zero and route the mic channel to an aux out for recording.

comment KTDrumTrigger with 64-bit Cubase 5.5.3
I am not really as familiar with cubase as I used to be anymore. Could you please link to some of these reports?
