Howdy, I've got a Studio Projects B1 and find I keep reaching for it time and again. I like it for Drums and Guitar Cabs, and since I find myself recording more and more bands live, was considering picking up a second. I was thinking of getting a B3 to complement it. I would like to...

Hello all. Im about to begin a recording for some friends of mine, and I'm using this as an excuse to go out and buy a half decent preamp. I've been using the inputs on my old TASCAM mixer, which sadly is now in another state, so I've only got the mic pres on the front of my C-PORT, which for...

I've already got a Studio Projects B1, and was thinking of getting another one because its a fairly useful mic to have around, and was thinking it would be good to have a pair to be able to use for stereo and overheads. But I was also thinking of getting a B3.the B3 is more expensive, but I...

I' just picking up in something that was addressed breifly in the thread on making a living which has recently re-surfaced. Is it worth getting some formal education in the recoring business? I've decided I really want to work in the music industry, and I've moved to a new city where the music...

Hey Guys. Im looking for a portable USB interface to plug into a laptop. Im just getting into location sound recording and rather than going to a DAT system, Ive been thinking of using a laptop. Im looking for a USB interface that will give me 2 Balanced inputs that doesn;t require its own...

How would you guys go about miking up a combo amp with a 12inch driver and a horn? Its a Fender KXR 100, which sounds great running a guitar through. I usually place a Studio Projects B1 about a foot in front, and Im fairly happy with the sound, it picks up the sound from the horn and the...

Hey guys, I've been in the market for DI, but seeing as I don't have any outboard preamps (using the ones in my TASCAM m312), I was wondering is it going to be better to buy a mic preamp with a DI, such as the VTB1? I've read its not the best DI at that price, but I'd like to have the...

Hey there guys. I've been looking at adding another LD condensor to my home studio, and was considering a RODE NT2 or NT 1000. I was in a studio the other day recording the soundtrack to a film, and they used a pair of NT2's on a glockenspeil and it sounded absolutely fantastic, however, it...

I've just stepped up to a multi input box, and Im having problems... When I go to record I've got everything hooked up, but only channels 1,2,5 and 6 are getting any levels. I've checked cabling and switched it all around, and tried direct inputing a line level source, but the soundcards mixer...

I've got a Boss SD1 Overdrive pedal that I use quite a lot. I generally run it on a 9V battery. My friend and I noticed yesterday that when the battery is running out, the sound it puts out is really appropriate for a song that we are about to record. I've got a variable supply hobby...

I know theres a few aussies on this forum, and I was wondering if any of them had ordered anything from the states to be shipped here? If so, was there a decent turn around time, or did you have any other probs? the mics available there are for a start cheaper, and theres many that aren't...

Ok, I've got a situation here... I've been asked to work with a small band 4 peice band, 2 guitars, bass and drums, and I think I need a touch more equipment... Its probably a month off, so I may be able to buy a bit of gear in time, else I'll have to hire some stuff. I generally record myself...

I was just wondering has anyone used a Maxi studio Isis, and what they thought of it... it seems to me to be a really cheap solution to multitracking. I know its only a 20 bit card, but for a "newbie" is this going to matter? Dr_Sbaitso

I've recently bought an old Tascam M312B Mixing console, and I was just wondering what other people thought about it? has anyone used one, and if so, what did you think?
