Hey guys, I inherited a Sony C48 through unfortunate circumstances. Whilst I love this mic, I don't foresee using it very much in the future and there's other gear I really need but have to find funds for. Therefore, I'm starting to try to get a value on this thing. It seems to have a low...

Hey all, Just looking for ways to make sure the best possible signal is reaching my recording rig, so we may as well get the first link in the chain correct, right? At the moment I am using a Shure cable that came free with my PG58 all those years ago. I don't know how well these things age...

Hey guys, Currently my signal chain looks like this: Mic (SM7b) -> PreSonus Firestudio Mobile -> Cubase Essential 5 with the Cubase generic VST Dynamics compressor on the mic channel. What kinds of signal chains does everyone else use, and is there anything else I should really be adding to...

The latter half of this video is probably the best place to go for what I'm on about: The Vocal Range Of Devin Townsend (C2-F7) - YouTube Is it just a matter of blending a falsetto with a closed-off throat harsh scream? If so I don't think my body is equipped to do it, which would be a...

Hey all, I watched a video of Devin Townsend recording vocal parts for his Addicted album a while back, and he was just using an SM7b but hand-held, rather than on a stand / harnessed. I'm not sure if he was just "tracking" ideas or whether those vocal parts were actually the ones he used for...

Hi guys, I've had a look around here and I see a few topics focussed on good qualit6y hand-held recorders, like the Zoom H1 etc. I am looking for something to keep with me when I go for walks on the moors, beaches, parks etc so that I can capture the natural sounds around me, or a really good...

These all have the features I need, I am running cubase essential 5. Which ones are best here? M-Audio Fast Track 2 M-Audio Mobile Pre USB Bus-Powered Preamp and Audio Interface Native Instruments Audio Kontrol 1 E-MU 0404 USB Tascam US122 MK2 USB 2.0 Audio Interface Should I avoid any of...

I've seen vids of people doing this, Devin Townsend and more recently Tesseract. I know Dev uses an SM7b, not sure what Dan from Tesseract is using but it's here in this vid: YouTube - TesseracT - The Impossible - Concealing Fate Part III Live Video (Century Media) Basically, my vocal...

Okay, this is probably a really silly question, but when there's a huge amount of money involved that I can only just afford (or not, actually, haha!) I really need to be sure... Will Superior Drummer work OK in Cubase Essential 5? Yes, I know, stupid...but i need the reassurance, heh...

Hi guys, My guitar isn't cutting the "Djent" sound, but I think I have written a patch for the PodXT that might do it well. All I need is for a lovely person with a more Djent-spec'd guitar to plug in, do a quick few seconds of recording, and let me know how it sounded. If I can get away with...

Hey all! I got a rather nifty christmas present in the form of a new, much better job. It means I will finally be able to start working myself out of debt, but also be able to finally afford some decent recording gear (w00000000t!). With that in mind, I need some advice... Please listen...

Can anyone tell me if the user interface / the way Essential works is basically the same as the full version, just without certain features and less tracks? I've been debating which one to get, but I don't think I need all the features in Cubase 5. N00b question, I know, but £123 is a lot of...
