Well, before I make the plunge and buy one of these things, I'd like to get your opinions on them. From what I can gather on the Vox website ( http://www.voxamps.com/us/customclassic/ac30cc/ ), they have 2 models that I would be interested in. I am interested in the combo models with 2...

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/22/technology/22cooder.html?_r=1&oref=slogin I just read this and it made me chuckle, but what do you guys who actually know stuff about mastering think about this?

http://home.comcast.net/~dajoda2/Requiem.mp3 there's a rough recording of it. I kinda stole a lot of the lyrics from the Jethro Tull song "Requiem" just tell me what you think of it! Thanks.

http://home.comcast.net/~dajoda2/Requiem.mp3 take a listen. I recorded everything (the drums, piano, and voice) just using my one condenser mic, and I suck at drums, so the drums are very badly played lol. In fact, the drum track is a combination of 2 drum tracks I made (I would never be able...

I want to mic an acoustic guitar in stereo using 2 different condenser mics. Is this a bad idea because I am using 2 different microphones, or can this still acheive good results even though they are not the same type of microphone or a matched-pair?

Ok, so we recently recorded some drum tracks, and on the drum overhead track, there are certain times, always when there is a cymbal hit, that my friend thinks that some clipping occurs. I think that it is not clipping, and instead it is the sound of the stick hitting the cymbal. My meters...

So I put a midi track that I had created elsewhere onto a midi track in Cakewalk, and I wanted the midi track to play while I was recording onto another track in Cakewalk. Once I got the midi track to playback properly using my integrated soundblaster soundcard, but with my Firebox hooked up...

I was recording in Sonar Cakewalk with my Presonus Firebox. I took the line outs of my keyboard and inputed them into the Firebox, so no microphones were used at all, leaving me perplexed as to how the metronome snuck onto my recording, hehe. I used the audio metronome on cakewalk, and I...

Ok I just finished recording and EQing a bass sample. I'm kind of new at recording, so I'm not sure if this is a decent sound. My setup: Ampeg bass amp into Presonus Firebox, with Sonar Cakewalk. The clips that have the bass amp mic'd are using an SM 57 (not the best for a bass amp, I know...

In Sonar 5, it usually has the track name in the bars next to the track number and near the volume, pan, etc controls. For some reason, no track names display for me, and there is not text box in the bar where it should be... how can I get it to display?

My band and I wanted to experiment recording outside, like on my patio. We would just be most interested in experimenting with recording drums outside. We were wondering how this would affect the sound as compared with recording in the basement. When we record in the basement there is a kind...

I just received my Firebox yesterday, and I got a chance to try it out today. When I recorded in Cakewalk and played the audio back, it was full of pops. I tried everything suggested in the manual; the latency is set to the highest setting (25 ms), and I set the CPU setting to Lowest. All...

If I plug a device with a line level output (like my keyboard) into the inputs on the front of the firebox, will the firebox be damaged? I realize that the 2 inputs on the back are designed as inputs for line level outputting devices, but could the inputs on the front (which have preamps in...

I guess matched pair mics make it so that they will not have any phase issues when you record one source with the two mics, right? So when you record something with the two mics, it comes into your recording software as two tracks. What do you do with the two tracks? Are you supposed to pan...

I'm debating which interface to purchase. Both can record 4 instruments simultaneously. This would be good for recording my band's jamming. I would plan to run all the drum mics through a mixer, and put the mixer through one of the two insturment cable inputs. The other instrument cable...
