How do these engineers make such crazy yet great effects at the beginningor during songs? Take Rx Bandits for instance. Thier new cd, The Resignation, is loaded with odd effects and such. How do you make these things? What plug-ins would you use? Anyone have any signature effects?

Shopping for some drum mics (especially for the kick drum and over heads) Budget is roughly $300 on each mic. Any advice?

Hey, ive been reading about the new Joe Meek product line coming out soon with a little more beef under its new management of PMIaudio. The thing i had my eye on was the Jm828 2 bus 8 channel mic pre. Ive read almost all of the past stuff written in this forum about Joe Meek and sad to say...

Hey guys i need some advice on choosing mic pre's. I have a budget of about 300 dollars. I'm looking for a minimal of 2 mic pre's. Iv'e heard Jomeek and Digimax are very nice for the money and so is FVR or FR or something like that. What else is out there? (basically looking to record vox...

Hey guys i have a layla 24/96 and i have a mixer question with it. How do i go about hooking up the mixer to my layla? i need to mic drums so how would the mixer go into my layla so i can get each individual mic track on my computer rather than just all my mics on one channel? Does it go...
