I'm in the process of redesigning my control room and where I would really like to place my synths would require me to use some pretty long midi cables (I'd have to run them around the room perimeter). I'm using Sonar as my sequencer, but triggering the sounds in the synths. Do you think that...

Hi guys I've got a date coming up where I'm going to record about 10 singers. It's going to be a remote session (6 hour drive, ugh ... long story), so it'll be straight to 2 track. I can probably come up with a mic config that will work out OK ... but I wanted to bounce this off you guys to see...

I'm going to fix up the acoustic control in my studio very soon ... and, of course, must explore the least labor-intesive options available (I'm so very very lazy). So, we all have probably seen the auralex"roominator" for sale ... there's a couple other options around, too ... like London-16...

http://www.lexicon.com/mpx200/ Anyone have this box? I have the MPX100, and must say I'm a little disappointed with it. The effects are nice and clean for a cheap effects box. But, the lack of editing features and number of unique effects is the downfall, imho. I'm wondering how the MPX200...

This is not a computer question ... but it concerns digital audio, which I think fits in at this forum. I have a bunch of tracks that were recorded at 20bit/48kHz onto ADAT ... I want to transfer them onto a HD recorder (through lightpipe) ... can I get away with just recording them at...

so ... how do you be a professional when your client's ADAT master you've been working on for months suddenly folds over and gets damaged by your trusty LX20? I know I know, how can a guy with an LX20 be professional in the first place? ;) Seriously though ... the whole tape isn't ruined. It...

I got this guitar around 1986-87. I think it's a 1984 model? but I don't have a model number and really can't find much info about it online. Anyone have any ideas? As I remember, it played fairly well when I used it. Right now it's in marginal shape (needs overall setup and rewiring) and...

Hi guys ... "Other Equipment" seems like a good match ;) I'm looking for ideas for a fairly decent live PA set up ... really just for practice/jamming and for running vocals and maybe keyboards through ... although, no drums. Only need 3-4 mic inputs max. Not a whole lot of power needed, but...

I "switched" instruments about a year ago ... just getting back into playing guitar again... arghhh.. no calluses! hand cramps! really sloppy crappy soloing! :( but does it get any better? :D man I had no idea how much I missed it! Maybe I needed the break because it seems like it's so much...

I play drums all wrong. What I mean is ... I play a right-handed kit, but don't cross my arms when playing a kick/hihat/snare beat. I'm actually left-handed, but know that if I try to play left-handed, I wouldn't be able to play kick with my other foot... no way. I've tried crossing my arms...

I just noticed this today, as I'm setting up to record bass. I can hear the woofers flap/vibrate a little bit. I've checked it in headphones and it's defintely the monitors. I can also hear it no matter what volume I have the monitors set at (although it's *much* lower at quieter volumes)...

I got my ADATs back from service and they work great now. One thing I noticed is that they defaulted back to a clock of 48k INT. The result was a lot of clicks and pops every so often when trying to record (from a DA7 connected w lightpipe). I nearly blew a gasket! :) However, it was...

Probably a dumb question ... but this has been my experience over the past few months. I'm just wondering if other people have noticed this ... or if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks!

I finally got to put my set back together tonight and play again (it's been about 4 weeks) ... drums sounded like shit! So I retuned everything ... and on a whim, decided to tighten the kick a bit more than I had before and it is SLAMMIN now! Lots of low end! ... I can't believe I left it so...

OK, I'm messing around with sampling my kit again ... this time w 24bit/48Khz wavs. I did some cymbals tonight... even though I don't have the best cymbals around ... but I remembered Slackmaster's request from a while back and made them long (20-30sec) so they decay fully. Feel free to...
