    Room acoustics: to measure or not to measure?

    Okay here's the deal, I made a promise to myself not to make any music in my room until I treated it. So I was familiarizing myself with what I needed and I came across a post somewhere warning of the folly of doing acoustic treatment without measuring the acoustics of the room first to know...

    Using hardware compressor with an audio interface??

    To my understanding, a hardware compressor should fall in-between the pre and converter in a recording signal chain in that order (pre-->compressor-->converter). True? So how exactly do you incorporate a compressor in a signal chain that has an audio interface which does not give you the luxury...

    Anything I need to know before taking the plunge?

    I am getting ready to DUMP (get rid of) my $200 audio interface and replace it with a $3000 signal chain right from the mic to the box (budget does not include the computer). I will be primarily buying used from ebay to squeeze more quality out of my dollar. I have done a LOT of research around...

    Is this a "normal" practice?

    Hi guys, I record mainly vocals and in my DAW, I ALWAYS apply noise-reduction and noise-gate to the vocals before applying compression (yes, ALWAYS...even when it's arguably unnecessary, I will do it as a formality just so I can sleep at night). I do this because I feel that compressing without...

    Color scheme.

    Hey guys... Random thought: What color scheme would you go with for your studio walls and why? I'm getting ready to paint my just-converted garage, soon-to-be studio-for-business. thanks.
