Hey all, long time no see, hope everyone is doing well! I started trying to record again and I just finished a cover song. Feel free to comment on anything you would like but to be honest I am less concerned with the feedback on the actual performance but instead what I really care about is...

Hey all, hopefully basic question here. Currently I have the Behringer Eurorack UB802: Behringer Eurorack UB802 Mixer | Musician's Friend I have the "Main outs" going to my KRK monitors for mixing purposes and the "Phones out" goes to my headphones that are stretched back into my recording...

I didn't know if I should post it here or directly in the Sony Acid forums but I figured it was a question that could be applicable for many different recording programs so here it goes. I use Sony Acid Pro 7. In the past, when I was recording tracks (lets use guitar tracks as an example), I...

So in my quest to better understand how signal paths are important I have been reading various threads about balanced and unbalanced lines. Although I understand the difference in the 2 (unbalanced having a "hot" and ground, where the balanced has an extra signal, a "cold" or neutral). Also, I...

I guess its called a split coil and then another single coil?

So I think I am going to give a shot at making my own cables (mic and instrument) and been looking around at Redco for some pricing. I've seen some varying opinions on the cables but wanted to see what you guys thought here. Mogami vs Gotham vs Gepco vs Redco brand? Whats the best cable at...

Just curious what you all think about the Fernandes Bass Guitars? (spelled it wrong in title sorry hehe) How would they compare to some of the other inexpensive bass guitars like the yamaha rbx170 or squier vintage 70s jazz bass? I know there are different models but lets just say one of the...

Maybe a silly question but if I am planning on recording bass and micing the amp and also going direct, do I even need a Direct Box or can i plug the cable form the bass guitar right into the line in of my preamp? If I do still need a direct box, one follow up question. I have been looking at...

Trying to decide which preamp to buy and wanted to post my setup and intentions here for some advice. I plug my mic into a snake which runs to my current preamp (M-Audio Tampa) and from there into my Delta 1010 sound card and out form there into my small mixer where I can run my Monitors from...

Hello all ~ So I have decided the next thing I am going to get for my playing / recording pleasure is a bass setup. I am not a bass player and don't want to invest much money into it at this stage so I am probably going to get one of the recommended "cheaper" basses like the Yamaha RBX170 or...

Hey all ~ Just wanted to post a question and get some advice. If you had my setup, what would be the piece of equipment you replace or add first to improve the quality of your recordings. Here is my current setup: Instrument(s): Taylor Acoustic/Electric guitar and Johnson JM60 Amp (for...

Another noob question... I want to record 2 tracks at once into Acid. 1 - My Taylor acoustic guitar going direct utilizing the patented expression system 2 - Micing it with a condenser mic in front of the sound hole My current path is: Mic >> Snake >> PreAmp >> SoundCard My preamp only has...

Hey all! I am thinking about picking up a cheap bass to use for some recordings. If I do that, is it better to also buy an amp/speaker combo and then just mic the speaker like I would my electric guitar amp? Or is it better to run the bass direct or some other option? I have not bought...

Hey all, how has everyone been? ;) So I finally am getting my chance to own my dream acoustic guitar, a Taylor! I have had many acoustic guitars in my life along the way but most were cheaper models ranging from $99 - $299. I finally received permission (from my better half) to get a Taylor...

Hey all, long time no see! :) Love the look of the new site btw, kudos.... I have been using Acid Pro 6 whenever I do any recording stuff and although I don't have a ton of experience using anything, its easy enough for me to do the things I need to do. Typically I am just recording my...
