Hey there, yep I'm a bit of a noob. First off what is a tube mic? What are they used for? How do they differ from condenser mics or are they just a certain type of condenser mic? Any general info on the subject would be appreciated :) Thanks

What is the cheapest but still effective way of building a drum isolation booth? It's something I'm considering doing in the future, but mainly I'm just curious :)

What about the 'Alesis MultiMix 16 USB 2.0 Mixer with USB Interface' would this allow me to potentially record my whole band onto separate tracks in garageband so we could record together? I know their is another version of the alesis multimix 16 that I believe only offers a stereo sub mix but...

I read this when looking at the Tascam US 1800. "Up to 16 inputs and 4 outputs are transmitted to Mac or Windows over high-speed USB 2.0 connection." Does that mean I'll only be able to record on 4 separate tracks in garageband?

Right I'm a bit of a noob, not an out and out noob but I'd say I still fall comfortably into that category. I've done a lot of recording at home using an Alesis Multimix 4 which I love and up till now it has done everything I've ever wanted or needed it to. The problem is that the multimix only...

Is there a way I can download rewire without having to purchase reason or any other software?

I've just downloaded reaper and I'm stuck on a few things. Up till now I've been using Garageband and I love the built in sounds for Garageband and their simplicity (I know they're not great but for what I want they're perfect). Is their a way I can use the sounds from Garageband in Reaper? I've...

I have this and unfortunately there is no way round it. The levels on change on the daw when you have that track selected and change the fader so if you have the fader at the top for track one and then switch to track 9 which has the level at the bottom on the daw the level won't jump to the...

This may seem like a stupid question but I'm fairly new to recording and all this and at the moment I'm using garageband but I have to use my mouse for everything. Will this help me when I'm panning and changing levels? Like this for example : Korg NanoKontrol Slim-Line USB Controlle - White...

AKG D112. Hands down.

Use an acoustic amp, for acoustic guitars or mics if you have one. They're fairly cheap but a bass amp will make you're e kit sound really bassy and I don't think a guitar amp would handle the low frequencies from the kick drum especially at a louder volume. Obviously you're best using the drum...

I'm a drummer and I'm doing A Level physics.

Does anybody know of a cheap (less than £20) shock mount that my Behringer C1 mic will fit in? Cheers :)

Hi all, I'm fairly new to recording and I recently bought the KORG Nano Key which comes with a free download of the M1LE software. The softwares good and I've been having a play with it but what I really want to know is: How can I record the sounds into garageband? Can I run it as a plug in...
