Right now my band has a makeshift studio we've been working on (slowly but surely) and I've been doing some research on microphones. I read about the different types of mics, mostly the mechanical differences between them and how they pick up sound differently, but now the question is "which...

I'm in the market for a new mic preamp and I'm looking at the M Audio Octane. It is an eight channel preamp for around $600 and I've read many great reviews on it. Before I take the plunge, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Octane or perhaps have suggestions for an alternate...

My band recorded its first album about 7 months ago and we filled out the copyright applications and mailed it off about 8 months ago. In the application, it states that you can consider your songs copyrighted as soon as you put the application in the mail. That being said, we still haven't...

Has anyone ever recorded using a Hot Rod series amp? I was wondering if it were possible to line it out? Any tips on mic'ing the speaker would be helpful also. The amp sounds great, I'm just having a problem getting the recording to sound great too:cool:

I've been using a delta1010lt to record with for almost a year now and never had any problems until recently. I turned my computer on the other day and the new device manager icon came up saying that I needed to install the driver software for the 1010lt. This was after 9 months of it already...

I was just wondering is there any way to reverse tracks in sonar 6, like to play a track backwards?

I run Sonar 6 PE with a delta 1010lt, but can't seem to figure out how to set up two outputs - one back to the mixing board for headphone playback during recording, and another to our smaller amp and speakers for mixing purposes. I'm not sure if I have to change a setting in Sonar, or the 1010...

I was just wondering what dithering was and how to use it. I also would like to know the difference between triangular and rectangular dithering.:confused:

Has anyone ever seen or made an electric sitar? I've got an old fender musicmaster that I want to turn in to an electric sitar. I'm told all you need is a special bridge. Any suggestions?

Does anyone own or use a MXL 990s? My band mate just bought one and raves about the sound quality and that it is a condenser mic, but I'm not that impressed. Anyway, I was just hoping to get some feedback on the best applications and setups that this particular mic can be used for. Thanks:cool:

Im looking to buy an audio interface. I have no knowledge about them except that someone told me to buy a delta 1010. I would appreciate any feedback on the topic and on whether to go with a USB system or a PCI system.

I am having trouble getting a full sound when I record my guitar tracks. We have one condenser mic (not sure what kind) that we have been trying different placements with, but the tracks still sound thin and empty. I play a gibson les paul studio through a fender hot rod deluxe and the sound is...

What are the pros and cons of PCI vs. USB interfaces? Also, I could use some feedback on what brands are the best.
