Hey guys, so I've run into a bit of a dilemma. I'm starting a new project with some buddies this Saturday, but I have a micing dillemma. I've got an old school *original* Firepod, using Logic Pro 9 as my DAW. I've only got 8 inputs. I need 12 for the drums (2 on snare, 2 on kick, 4 toms, hats, 2...

Hi all. After a lot of debating, I decided to pull the trigger and buy Logic Studio - WOW was that a good buy! This thing is AMAZING. I'm having a blast with it so far. Here's my problem. I bought SSD EX for use with this and my V-drums (TD-4KX2 kit). As a standalone, the Steven Slate Drums and...

Hey guys, I've got a show tomorrow night (first time using my OWN gear in about three months...I've been spoiled for the past few months to be using my buddy's LS9 with a Nexo rig for smaller shows and an M7CL for the bigger ones with an SSL array :D) and I'm wondering, because I haven't really...

Oh yeah, straight up vintage 4-track Playskool deck. Can't wait to get the reels runnin' on this thing! :p hah! Crazy what you find when you clean out 30 years of stuff from the attic when you're family is moving. This may be what got me initially started on recording back when I was three! :D

A guy in my hometown is selling a pair of UREI 809's, not sure what year (maybe early 90's) and he only wants $50 for the pair. Buttt they need the rubber around the cone redone. Would it be worth it to get 'em, do that, then sell them for more? I don't have room to keep them at my studio....nor...

Or not, but I'm excited about it... I just got a Mackie 24/8 for $300 :D :D :D :D True story. Buddy of mine is making his rig entirely portable and wanted to get rid of it. Never left his studio. I'm pretty excited to see what this beast can do. Also, last week I was this close to snagging a...

Okay, so for my live rig (I'm reconfiguring my rack...I'm kinda bored with it...) I want a new stereo compressor/Limiter to run my mix through, and I was just going to pick up a DBX 166XL, but something told me to go on their site and check out my other options, so I did, and the 1066 seems like...

Hey guys, I wasn't sure what forum to put this question in, so I stuck it here. If anyone's feelings are hurt by my doing so, eh, that sucks. Sorry :cool: Anyway, my live sound company just bought a Crown XLS 5000 for $1000 B-stock on MF (I know, I know, I hate to support them, but $1000 with...

Okay, so I'm sitting here attempting to study for a biology exam tomorrow (yeahhh, not going so well...I should disconnect this thing from the internet...limit my distractions....:D) and I'm listening to 30 Seconds to Mars (again, not the best study habit....). I noticed that their hi-hats are...

Alright, so I want to upgrade software. I have Sonar PE 6 and for my personal tastes (don't get me wrong, it's a great program), it just has too much to do and I want a stripped-down program with most of the features of PE 6, minus the bells and whistles. I do rather simple recordings and I...

Hey guys, I just bought a pair of KRK RP6's off of Ebay. The one monitor sounds amazing, but the other one's woofer sounds distorted and almost like it's clipping. Curious what it was, I turned off the music and gently poked the woofer to move it back and forth. It's making a sound as if the...

Hey all, I bought 5 On-Stage drum mic clips back in february for my business to use live, and needless to say, they're pieces of junk. They don't mount on any sort of even semi-convenient spot on suspension mounted toms, and they slip off of the rim much too easily. Money wasted. Anyway, I was...

okay, so long story short, I'm cruising Facebook earlier, find a group called "hug a guitarist day," so I check it out, and I run across a picture of Machine Head's bassist, and on his ampeg stack behind him, you can see an RE-20 out front. I know that they're usually used for broadcast mics...

Hey guys, I'm looking into buying an SM7 (I record pretty much only screamy metal and heavy rock stuff, so it'd be my go-to vocal mic, so I've been told), but has anyone ever used one on a guitar cab? I'm kinda curious what it might sound like paired up with a 609 on an amp. I'm a broke college...

Hey all, I'm looking to purchase a Shure KSM27 (well, one of a few mics I'm looking at). I'm a poor college kid :( on a budget of about $300, and this mic is looking somewhat promising...I want to know, however, if it's suitable for a variety of things. I'd be using it for acoustic guitar...
