    Is Buying a second hand mic worth it?

    Hi all, So I found this guy selling an Rode NTG-1 for a really good price. (In american dollars, basically about $90) I can't think that there is much danger in this, as if it works when I buy it, the only way it could stop working is if I mistreated it. Is that right? Or is having a warranty...

    Dead vs Echoey?

    Hi I have worked very hard taking my little space I had and turning into the best acoustic space I could. It is pretty dead. I would say there is an air to it, but no reverb or echo per say. My friend, who is also into recording and has a larger space and much fancier equipment, is using a...

    Hi everyone, I was hoping somebody might like to take a listen and tell me what they think about my new track. I just wanted to practice using synthetic orchestral instruments and mixing them in and so on, for when I record my band later. I just kinda came up with it as I recorded each track...

    Weird Phenomenon that occurred during band practice..

    Hi all, So this really weird thing was happening during our band practice yesterday, and I was hoping somebody would be able to tell me what it was, so I can stop it next time. Our Lead singer plugged his acoustic guitar in (He uses an XML cable) and then his mic. We have a little mixer that...
