    the snare sound on abba's dancing queen

    mixing (esp. the panning of) electric guitars

    "sound wise" the guitars are "fuzz"y, varying from barely to highly overdriven. not a lot of clean guitars. no acoustics yet, just dealing with electrics. Mixing is in stereo. Using ableton live. Lots of plugins in the library. All guitar takes were recorded in stereo, discretely, with the...

    which sample rate to record guitars vocals etc

    i have been using 24 bit / 96 khz for a while. was wondering if there is any advantage to using different sampling rates? what do you guys use? any reason to use 192khz instead of 96khz, for example? i realize there is more headroom etc thanks!

    thoughts on RNC 1773 and similarly priced compressors ($200-ish new)?

    I have no qualms buying second hand, so it's really $100 purchase on ebay. RNC 1773 seems to have a good reputation...

    Lynx L22 issue - only one channel of analog input is recording

    Due to the fact that I am brand new to this piece of hardware, this could be something very simple I am overlooking. I opened up the Lynx Mixer and plugged an xlr into the In 1 analog input of the breakout cable. Recording fine, no problem, mixer software reading fine. (using sound forge 8 to...
