Here comes another one from the "which one should I buy?" series. I want to get myself a mic for recording (mainly) an acoustic guitar and a djembe drum (and maybe stuff like digeridoo or tibetan singing bowl :) ). I am considering a pair of Marshall 603s and a Studio Project B3. I read that...

I'm quite a fresh home recorder and I've decided I don't want to be one anymore ;-), i.e., I want to upgrade my very humble and not very impressive equipment. I am using an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 soundcard, a DMP3 pre-amp and a Shure SM57 mic. I record mostly electric guitar, bass and sometimes...

Hi. I wanna have some natural acoustic sound in my recordings and I was wondering how to obtain it. Will I get better results with an electro acoustic guitar up to aboot 380$ plugged directly to my DMP3 or with a cheaper (up to aboot 230$) acoustic guitar picked up by a Shure SM7 mic? Not sure...

Hi. How do I record the sound that comes out of Guitar Rig in Adobe Audition? When I'm trying to do so, I only record the clean sound, although I hear the effects from the Rig in the speakers. I have an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 soundcard and a DMP3 pre-amp. There's no option 'record what u hear'...

I want to start a little digital audio workstation (I love the term:)) and I don't know which preamp will be the most suitable for me. Since I have an M-Audio soundcard (24/96), I thought that M-Audio AudioBuddy could somehow work with my soundcard "better" (or not?). On the other hand there's...

A newbie could use some help...I want to buy Toontrack EZdrummer and some electronic drum kit -most probably by Roland (nothing out of the ordinary). I have an M-Audio 2496 soundcard. An electronic drum kit has a cable for every drum/cymbal, right? And each one of them should go into the...

Hi, I am a total beginner. I just got an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 soundcard and I don't know how to connect an electric guitar/mic to it so that I can record some tunes. Do I need some hardware like a pre-amp or is just some magic program enough? The only thing I have figured out so far is that...
