I am looking into getting a new snare. I want something fairly versatile. I have a Tama brass piccolo snare that I will be keeping, so I don’t really need the really high crack sound, as I have the covered. I have a Pearl Prestige Session birch/mahogany 6 piece kit (currently only using a 4...

Ok, I have a couple of questions: 1. The following link is photos of my studio. The problem is there is a wall behind one of the monitors and not the other. I have been told that this is not a good situation. Some have suggested that I move the desk into the corner (but out a little ways to...

I got some Johns Manville Insul Shield insulation and some MDF to create some bass traps (and the MDF will act as a reflective surface on the other side, should I need it). I plan on rapping the Insul Shield in fabric. However, I am not sure how exactly to mount the Insul Shield on to the MDF...

I was planning on putting plywood down underneath my drums to create a reflective surface (floor is carpeted). However, I thought that plexiglass might be easier on the carpet (snags and all). Will plexiglass work just as well? Aaron

My studio Ok, I am now finally able to start putting together my studio in the basement of our house (the basement is an apartment that we rented out before, but now I get to have my studio down there). I need a little help figuring out exactly what I need to do to make it sound better...

I just got an RME Multiface and PCI card. I set it up on my computer with Windows XP Home. I have outputs 1 & 2 for my monitors and 3 & 4 for my headphone amp. I am using N-track for my software. I was playing a song in N-track to test it out. However, I can only get 2 of the outputs (1 set...

I just noticed that the AT4050/CM5 and the AT4050 are two different mics. What is the difference between them (other than AT doesn't make the AT4050/CM5 anymore) I noticed that the high band pass on the AT4050/CM5 is more abrupt, but other than that, I didn't notice anything. Anyone know?

I am setting up a recording studio in my basement. I am planning on buying some new heads for my kit (I plan on using a 4 piece, so it would be a 10" and a 14", along with a 14" snare). I plan on playing mostly pop/rock style. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on what type of heads...

I am looking at buying some bulk cable. My question is can Mic cable be used for other applications (1/4" TRS patch cable and 1/4" speaker wire) or is the wiring so different taht other cable needs to be used?

I am looking into buying some bulk cable and I saw this on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...067323&tc=photo Has anyone bought from these guys before? Does this look like good cable?

I am planning on buying an RME Multiface with PCI card for recording. I had been planning on buying one new. However, if I could get one for a couple hundred dollars cheaper by getting it used, is it worth it? I don't know much about the used soundcard market and warranty issues and such, so...

I was just wondering if anyone here had experimented using a C4 for vocals? If so when did it work and how did it work? Thanks.

I am looking to get a stereo bar for my Studio projects C4s for overheads. Is there a difference at all between the types of stereo bars? Anything I should be looking for?

Ok, I have a few questions about the layout I am planning to setup. I few points first though 1. I want to do as little construction as possible. This is a basement apartment that I am turning into a studio. After negotiations with my wife, we want to do as little structurally as possible...

I currently have a Sytek and I need 4 more channels (I am going to be recording drums). I was going to get 2 DMP3's. However, I have heard many good things about the RNP and was wondering if it sounds fairly similar to the Sytek, all else being equal? Would an RNP really add a different...
