Hi, I don't mean to be lazy since I am researching this now, but in case I miss any products: I have a nice indie style studio, but no time to record. I'm looking for an all in one to record drums, guitar, guitar, bass, vocals, vocals. Maybe 8 or 16 tracks to just get er done; ideas down...

I googled this, it seems like a noob question, though I've done plenty of recording. I'm guessing that the vertical lines on a frequency response graph are uneven in order to represent how humans hear low -> high frequencies. Despite a quick unhelpful google search here at work, I've always...

...after it warms up to operating temperature. the thing probably shipped damaged in the first place, 4 years ago when I got it, because the digital side doesn't work right. I can't get it to synch to spdif no matter what settings I try (correct setting, incorrect settings, and variable...

I'm gonna start ripping my vinyl collection down to...well eventually down to 16/44.1. Topic same as title - I'd do 88.2Khz recording plugged directly into the phono inputs of the Alesis io26 and then dither to 44.1, OR do 44.1 through the Sony USB system, assuming I don't have to install some...

couldn't find one on google, looking for realtime (ie not just file conversion or media player) eq adjustments for playback 2 channels only - some soundcard cp's have a low band count eq...but my current one doesn't. it's separate from my recording rig. didn't know which forum to put this post...

so....finally my first recording where I can spend a little time tweaking and looking for a good sound. Here is a clip (playing tired and aggravated :)) after 8 hours of setting everything up...just jumping on the drums, so please excuse the crappy playing...at 30 seconds i tighten the snares...

CONCEPTS/TECHNIQUES THAT YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND AND UTILIZE TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR RECORDINGS: I'd love to collate a half page (length chosen for musicians' attention spans) or a big lettering full page with bullets on very basic concepts for any band/person who is going into the studio for...

Are they distorted/clipping slightly when they come in? Not in the middle part where they more obviously are... If so, I think I like it. Sounds like subtle preamp clipping to me?

edit: thread title was for wrong forum! But I was going to post here how I finally bought reaper non-commercial version, took me too long but I've been using it a lot lately. Also, love how the files are cross platform compatible from XP 32 bit to Vista 64 bit.

Here were some confusing posts to me in sequential order from THIS thread: I did some googling, found info that mentioned it, but can someone first give me a basic idea of absolute polarity, and the practical consequences it may have while doing micing, tracking and overdubbing? I was...

I'm going to do a band session this summer, and am thinking I'll pick up and mod an Apex 205. I was wondering about this mic and moreso ribbon mics as drum overheads in general - I am looking for a less harsh and white-noise-y sound, but one thing I'm worried about is whether or not I'll get...

When doing tracking, do you make a new project for each new song? I use Reaper, and was also wondering if it would be faster....I have always done all songs in one project per session. What do you do?

Still sounds good in a quick recording, but haven't had time to do extensive testing. Something tells me this would effect the high end or some subtle effect? A friend told me he used it on vox and noticed distortion, wondering if I should ask for help shipping... Any one have experience with...

I don't like the idea of using more than one, but on my last recording, my wuhan china was a rabid monster and I'm wondering how to fix that (I fixed it by....playing softer...like how you should :rolleyes:). Here's a big STUFF YOU to the drummer that stole my 22" wuhan china - that was much...
