I need to record a full band live soon, so I need to upgrade my 2-in Echo Mia setup with something that has more inputs. I figured some of you had already been through some similar upgrade, so any success stories? What route did you take? I'm thinking of switching from pci to firewire for...

Hey, Anybody here in Philly? My brand spanking new band has an opening slot at the General Lafayette Inn (www.generallafayetteinn.com) this Fri Aug 13 (9:30). If anybody here is in the area, stop in and say hi! I'm really excited to debut my new band. Cheers, Brendan

I'm putting together a promo pack to get some gigs around here. I'd like to see some examples of yours...

Hey y'all! Anybody here live in NYC? I'm playing my first NYC gig tonight at the Baggot Inn in the village with my "band" Pink Humpy - http://www.baggotinn.com/baggot.html I usually play around Philly, so this is gonna be fun. Stop on in and I"ll buy you a beer! No cover. 10-12...

Is this song radio-ready in terms of performance, songwriting, musicianship, and most importantly - recording quality? A simple yes/no will work, but I'd also love any suggestions/comments on any of these aspects! Please be honest and brutal if necessary b/c I don't want to "go for it" yet if...

Hi, Can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? I'm trying to get 2 more inputs on my Echo Mia using the SPDIF. I have two soundcards in my machine - an Echo Mia and a Santa Cruz Turtle Beach. I set the Versajack to Digital Out on the Santa Cruz and used a 1/8"toRCA Y-adapter to...

I hardly ever use reverb, chorus or echo, so I'm curious of your thoughts on this mix. Is it too much? Too dark? http://www.pinkhumpy.com/LittleBillyBlue07_mp3.mp3 For guitars, I borrowed my bro's super expensive Everett acoustic, but had to cut the mids a little b/c it was just too muddy...

This is a quickie tune I wrote and recorded in a few hours or so while I had my hands on my bro's new GAS ebay acquisition - a sweet '77 electra x410 jazz strad semi hollow body - born the same year as me. This tune is very different from my other songs, so I'm curious what you think. Note...

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I have been looking here for any postings of songs done with the RNP but haven't found any. The only online demos I've heard are of single instruments that don't give you the full mix clarity. I'll give a nice review of any tunes anybody has to offer...

I'm trying to record a few songs that are just my Taylor, mix of fingerpick/slap/funkystrum, and it sounds horrible through my NT1, Art tube mp, Behringer MX802A mixer --> RNC --> Echo Mia. Playing the high e string solo really shows the low quality of the sound. I have gotten great results...

Hi all, I gave my demo http://www.permesso.net/mp3/sorted/Brendan%20T%20Brennan/ to Universal Records A&R just for kicks (I do it for the music, not for fame). Some people think my voice is good - personally, I dunno. I could REALLY use some criticism from musicians like you since I highly...

Hi all, I'm moving from the suburbs to downtown Philly, and am trying to figure out a good way to keep the outside noise OUT! Has anybody designed/built any good isolation booths that work with keyboard/mouse/monitor? Most of the websites I found are for people in a studio where they don''t...

Hi all, I just installed WinXP and the new WDM drivers for Echo Mia. When I change the bit depth in Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 to 24bit, I lose the analog record input option (only midi). I had no problems recording in 24bit on Win98SE, of course :) Is there any way to get this to work, or am I...

Hi all, I'm looking to switch from a drum machine to REAL drums. I was looking at those mini-kits and they look great to me - I haven't heard the kick, but the toms sounded cool - real tight (I'm looking for a tight jazz fusion type kit). Has anybody recorded or played with these mini-kits...

So I was watching Remy Shand live at the TLA in Philly last night, and noticed a familiar looking mic pressed up against his guitarist's Fender twin reverb... I went up to the stage after the show, and sure enough, it was an NT1! I was amazed! (I use that for most of my vocals, in stereo w/ a...
