Hi there... Can I please get some opinions on recording lead vocals? I am getting a little harshness when recording them and the sound is a little fuzzy when the letter S is pronounced. My setup is -- ADK CE mic into FatMan2 preamp/compressor, into KOrg d1600. Things I was wondering about...is...

Been searching for a decent analog graphic equaliser and coming up with nothing. Can anyone recommend one? I really want it to add some warmth to my studio guitar rig which is based around a POD Pro. I figured the G Eq was a good way to warm it up? Recommendations? many thanks Rob

Hi all Would really appreciate any input on this. I have a Fatman2 for a mic preamp and a Rode NT1. The sound is pretty good but I am wondering whether to upgrade to something better. The question is what? Budget is around $1,000 for both (new price). I was wondering about an ART MPA but...

Hi all - Wondering if you get help with some pointers...I'm looking for tips re: getting some extra depth/attack especially on the snare and kick drum sound. The kit is close mic'd in a dead studio room. And I am past the point where we can add a room mic as the song is already tracked. Added a...

Hi all -- I'd be grateful for any advice..I have a korg d1600 , sm57 and Rode NT-2 mics. I have to record a string quartet for the first time (violins plus cello). Any tips? I thought maybe jsu the NT-2 a few feet away from the players. What do you think? Or shold I use both mics? OR more...

All-- After years using 4tracks I am ready to upgrade to an 8track...looking at getting the FD8. Dumb question maybe but..how does digital compare to standard tape based recording? I expect lot less noise? But how about the feel of the sound...is anything much lost in your opinion. I record...
