Yea especially the Blue Ball...

Just wondering why most mic's are named with some combination of letters and numbers instead of giving them cool names. I refer to the SM57 as the "hammer" because I find it more useful hammering things into place then using it as a microphone, and I have heard people refer to the MD421 as the...

I am having some trouble getting some controls on my M-Audio Axiom 61 to work in Sonar HS. I have managed to get the transport controls, the rotary knobs, and 8 of the faders to work via Midi learn. However, I can't figure out how to get the 9 assignable buttons or the 9th fader to work. In the...

Options > Key Bindings Choose a key and select a function, then hit "Bind." I'm not sure if it will let you toggle between windows. You may have to set a different key to return to the track view.

I use 8 because thats the most I can with my firepod. I like to track as much as I can and then scrap the tracks I might not need later. It's better to record 6 extra mics that you mute later than to record with one too few.

I have a similar CAD drum mic kit that I use. It's not the best in the world, but for what you pay it doesn't get any better. I would also consider the AT4040 for vocals.

Phantom power should have nothing to do with it. The fact that the E-guitar did not pose this problem further supports the fact that it is string noise. Your talent is simply plucking a note that is not fretted or doing something else that is usually not noticeable. If there was no popping with...

What your hearing is string noise. Try a different mic placement or get your talent (if it's not you) to try and play a little cleaner. Sometimes just being made aware of those noises can fix them.

I don't hear any popping... There was some string noise that could maybe resemble popping, but as far as I could tell nothing that would resemble an issue with any of your equipment. Try different speakers?

I voted D6 Put the D6 right on the beater and use a subkick and I get exactly the sound I am looking for.

Thanks, I grabbed the knobs with ROBOGRIPS and tore them off without touching the wood :)

I just picked up a cheap guitar and want to upgrade all the hardware(Aria Pro-II MA-10). I am having some trouble removing the knobs. There are no screws on the outside to loosen and I can't pull them off for the life of me. I am not afraid of damaging the electronic components because I plan...

It's not recommended, but as long as your mic's still work you should be fine. I think it is the pop that goes back into your pre-amp or interface. I would be more worried about damaging that. But like I said, if everything still works, your fine!

Ok, I would suggest some sort of an audio interface. They make mixers that can record via firewire, but I have no experience with these and they tend to be a little more expensive than most interfaces. Your also going to need a computer, which I am assuming you have since you are on this forum...

It all depends on how big of a deal this demo is. Honestly, if your never going to use the recording gear again you may as well go to a studio! Your question is way to broad for me to even approach it though! Without knowing more theres not much to say. How serious is this project? How good do...
