wow, thanks for all the advice guys. super useful!!

thanks man! very helpful. checking out some of your gear.

Hello revered home and pro recording people! I am here to make gear inquiries, as i am updating my home studio. My current medium for "getting sounds to my computer" (haha) is a Focusrite Saffire pro40 audio interface... i really dig it, but i need an upgrade, better A/D conversion, faders...

Hey guys, im currently recording using the Saffire pro 40 interface. I really want to buy the Universal Audio 710 because i'd like to have one real nice preamp but im wondering how i would connect it to my computer. do i just run a XLR from the output of the 710 to an input of the saffire? would...

hmm im feeling the 52 on this one

you can always EQ the sm57 and get that lower fatter tone. sure, the PR20 has a better tailored frequency response, and doesnt require much eq, but try layering (very carefully, mind you!!) 4 guitar tracks... 2 hard panned and 2 softly panned. you will get an ENORMOUS SOUND.

very carefully... very carefully.. if your compressing in your DAW, it doesnt matter if you $%#@ up because you can always undo it, but if you have a rack compressor, be very careful. if you overcompress then you have %#@ed your track.

i think instead of hitting x, just click out of the box. maybe 'x' locks it or something... weird. i have never had that problem wait, are you hitting the x key or the little x icon?

Yes yes yes focusrite makes amazing products. but you should probably invest in an interface that isnt usb (focusrite pro14/24) if you need a: Condenser, i recommend the akg 220 Dynamic: sm58 (audix also makes some great dynamic mics) Ribbon: (save up 170 for a cascade fat head) <- this will...

alrighty, you got the right idea, but you are a little off. firstly, there isnt anything wrong with your pedals, but as to how you arrange them, thats entirely up to you. each combination can yield a different sound. i cant tell you what sound you are after, you have to find it yourself :)...

EDIT: dropping price from 850 to 750

try recording in the tub/shower/bathroom!!!!!!!!

Cant go wrong with the 58. and for podcasting purposes i think an m audio fast track would suffice. personally i dislike m audio but thats because im interested in using those units in very different ways.

Hey guys, i thought we should get a good discussion about this, as I'm sure there are a bunch of opinions on this. Also, what characteristics does a great room have? Personally, I do like the natural reverb in my recordings, and my room is adapted for that. What floats your boats?

awesome!!! could i also move it a few feet away where the speakers start to bloom for a beefier sound or will that just sound like crap?
