Thanks for the responses. It seems pretty clean to me too, but I don't have experienced ears for recordings yet, so I wanted to put something out there to confirm I'm not missing something glaring. I have questions about software reverb/compression vs. hardware, but I KNOW there must be plenty...

Hi, Here's the vocal recording (my first!) I'd like (technical) feedback on: http://ccmixter.org/file/randumbdots.../1 I finally got my gear set up and recorded something. The gear: year-old laptop, Echo Indigo I/O pcmcia sound card, M-Audio Audio Buddy mic pre, Studio Projects B1 mic...

Thanks for introducing yourself. I think this online music collaboration thing is really going to pick up as high-speed connections become more prevelant. Good luck with your website. Once I figure out how to record something ;) , I plan to check it out. Maybe reply to this post sometime...

thanks & a couple follow-up questions Thanks for all the tips & anecdotes! Frederic, you said rigid fiberglass (the ...703 stuff I've read about I assume) IN the walls. Do you mean behind a layer of sheetrock, or would it work better covered in cloth in front of a layer of sheet rock and...

webring for collaboration - some additional sites One of the sites posted by crankz1 had a link to a web ring for online music collaboration. There are about half a dozen links on there - here's a link: http://echoprojectstudio.com/ringmaker.php [I moved the links to collaboration sites...

Very cool - thanks! That second site seems to have borrowed a few ideas from this BBS. ---Dots...

Online Music Collaboration Links & Information (please contribute) Hi, Is anyone out there successfully collaborating on songs online? If so, please let us know how. As I learn of web sites that facilitate collaboration, I'll try to add them to the list below in this top post so people can...

thanks Frederick, at 2000+ posts, mostly helping others I bet, you have got to have some serious positive karma going on. May your recordings benefit! Thanks! And, yeah, Rob, when I've done some test vox down there (mainly so my wife can hear how audible they were on the 2nd floor where...

I'm considering turning the triangular space beneath my basement stairs into a recording booth. It's tall enough to stand up in easily for vocals, and I think it should be usable. Does anyone who has built a booth out of this kind of space have any lessons learned to share in terms of...

Hey there, Y'know how firewire is always recommended, but it seems a little pricey compared to USB. Well, one of the small music stores I've bought stuff at before has a really good deal now on brand new, warrantied M-Audio Firewire Audiophiles. $135 is about $30 or $40 cheaper than I've seen...

Jack, your post count isn't going up !?!? It looks like your count is staying flat at 112. :eek: Are you sure this is working? Not to be a spoilsport, but maybe you only get credit once for any particular thread (?). ---Dots...

Firewire Audiophile is 4-in / 6-out I've been looking at all the choices as well (maddening isn't it?). The M-Audio Firewire Audiophile is 4-in / 6-out as I understand. Here's a link: http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FirewireAudiophile-main.html The 1x input it mentions in the specs...

Hi. I posted earlier this week, but I think I didn't do a great job of explaining what I'm trying for. Since I'm on my own, what I mainly need is just 2 or 4 in and 2 out interface to my computer and a good mic (eventually a compressor - I have a Nanocompressor that I probably won't use)...

thanks Thanks deepwater - The Tascam FW1804 looks utterly incredible, but I'm on my own, so I don't need that many channels. I'm going to put another post out there with more info on what I'm trying to do. Thanks again...dots...

Hi, I'm just getting back into all this. Here's what a I have for recording vocals (purchased 8 - 10 years ago): - Sennheiser MD735 dyn mic - ART Tube MP pre - Alesis Nanocompressor - my laptop sound card (the laptop is relatively new) I've read that the Nanocompressor is too noisy to use, so...
