Please help a newbie. What is the difference between Tracking, Monitoring, Mixing, etc? (any other words i need to know?) I've come across these words and im not 100% sure if i got it right. So far i think Tracking means recording to a computer? Mixing is listening to your recording in a DAW...

Hi, What headphones would you suggeest for recording in the $200 range? I will be using this for vocal recording only. (I will be plug it in my mixer so i could hear the backtrack music plus my own voice) Primary importance is for it not to leak sound to my mic so that I can capture my voice...

How do you connect an iphone/ipod/itouch in y our mixer? What is the best way to do this to retain as much sound quality as you can? Thanks

HI. I am very new to this but I love singing (karaoke) and would like to start getting my feet wet and dwell on various aspects like: a) how to EQ my karaoke system b) how to use a compressor / limiter / gate / etc c) how to record my voice d) how to mix my voice with instruments in a DAW...

I was looking for a compact mixer (below 16x16 inches) and someone pointed me to try looking into Digital mixers specifically the Presonus 16.0.2. That thing looks amazing on paper! It has almost everything that I want (EQ/compressor/Effects/Gate/Limiter/etc). I only wish it had a)inserts...

I am looking for a good GEQ/PEQ unit with compression. I am considering the Sabine GRQ3122 because it also includes its patented Feedback Exterminator and a limiter. It doesn't have a gate though. Anyway, is this item worth $1140? Or is there something better within its price range that can do...

What headphones do you use when you sing and record your voice. You need a closed one right? Is there any good wireless headphones for this? Thnx

May I know if the Sabine Feedback Exterminator (FBX 2400/2410) is still widely used? I tried looking for reviews, or online shops that sells this but I hardly find any. (only 3 sellers in ebay for their supposedly new 2410 model). I tried to email them like 7x now and they never replied back...

Hi, Sorry for such a noob queston but I don't know the best way to hook up my mixer with a recording device (Tascam). My mixer has a record out (RCA),an aux out, a monitor out, a main out and a USB. The mains are going to my QSC K10 speakers, the other outputs are free. Which is the best to use...

I will be using this for our home karaoke sessions. Right now I have the Allen & Heath - Zed10fx mixer and I've been reading about compressors and a lot swear that they would increase my overall sound quality. However, the zed-10fx doesn't have an insert so I am now looking for a replacement...

Hi, I'm just doing this for our videoke sessions so I want to know how to install a TC-Helicon item to my mixer. My mixer is a Allen & Heath Zed-10fx. How do I use the TC-Helicon so that it can accommodate both mics? Note that I have no TC-Helicon model yet in mind since Ive been asking in...

Hi, To start off, I'd like to tell you that i'm a complete noob and I just research what items to get in forums sites. Also, I am not from the US so I won't be able to test stuff right of the bat. I only rely on reviews then I purchase the item online to have it delivered here. Another thing...

Given that I will be getting a Shure SM7b and Focusrite ISA One, what would be the best interface to get for roughly $300? Note: 1) To be used for PC and MAC 2) To be used for recording my voice (singing) to my computer. No recording of piano/drums/etc. Only vocals. 3) Im a total noob 4) For...

I understand that this has been asked a lot (i've just starting reading some threads) but my needs are a bit different in some aspect. I intend to use my setup for vocal recordings only. I won't use this mic for guitar/drums/keyboards/etc. It will only stay in my house (room or living room...
