Hey everybody, I have a fear and i was wondering if there was any legitimacy to it. OS X Mavericks just came out. I would like to update. I'm running OS X 10.7.5 with logic pro 9 and a tascam us-800 interface, I've got an Alesis q49 midi controller. no driver trouble with anything. everything...

i've been using logic pro for the better part of two years now and have a basic grasp of the nut and bolts of the operation. my buddy and i have laid down a few songs. Multiple tracks (17+) using plug ins on almost every track and tracking up to 5 channels simultaneously used to keep my cpu...

So I'm seriously considering trying to build a 2x12. I've done some research on the web and I think I'm going to use 3/4 inch birch plywood for the cab and baffle board and loading it with some eminence red coat speakers. I plan on a closed back design. I basically wanna rip of an orange 2x12...

So here's my space. I moved into my new house a few months ago with plans of turning this unfinished portion of the basement into a hobby studio for my songwriting demo recording all purpose man cave sort of needs. We are starting construction downstairs with a 4th bedroom (for the teenager) on...

Hey guys, just picked up a Kustom Defender 5h. For the price, a pretty decent little amp. I really like the clean tones I'm getting from it but when you really start to crank it up I find the drive to be rather harsh. I decided to swap out the preamp tube, first I tried a different 12ax7 and...

Hey guys looking for some advice. I'm tired of my modeling amp and I'm looking to buy my first tube amp. Using it mainly for home studio use. I've looked a lot at the micro terror by orange and I love their products but I've also read some good reviews on the vox lil night train mini stack and a...

Just bought a new house. In the unfinished portion of the basement I plan on building myself a mancave/studio. The room is 12x16x8. I'm planning on just a one room setup. From what I've been reading I should do a room within a room sort or design for isolation purposes. Other than that I'm kinda...

hey guys, the tascam us-800 has pretty much been the audio interface bang-for-your-buck-buzz around this forum and for $100 i considered it to be too much of a steal to pass up. i'd been looking for an upgrade in interfaces due to my desire to track real acoustic drums. i run a mac mini with...

im trying to upgrade interfaces. right now i have a little fast track but i need to move to something with 4 mic pres so as i can record a drumset. i really like the clarity of the fast track and i was looking at the fast track ultra only to find that there has been quite a few defective units...

i've been doing alot of online browsing lately. looking for a new audio interface. recently i've decided i want something with 4 mic pres on it so i can get a bit better sound when recording a full drumset. i recently purchased a new mac mini with 2gb of ram and i'm looking for a new daw as...

i have kind of an old set up. i run a line 6 toneport to my laptop which has sonar 6. when i'm attempting to lay a track and want to add some reverb on my vocal for example, all i hear coming through the headphones is my dry vocal signal. during playback the reverb is there but i would like to...

so i've decided to actually dedicate my second bedroom to a recording studio type set up. will hanging blankets and such help as far as cutting down on the empty sound. never tried to treat a room before. don't wanna spend alot of money installing foam and whatnot. just renting. any thoughts...

I hear the terms On/Off axis quite a bit and i have done alot of experimenting with mic placement myself however i was wondering if anyone new of any resource online that might be able to spell it out via a diagram or explain it more than just place the microphone off-axis from the speaker cone...

i hear the terms on axis and off axis all the time and i think i know what we're talking about here, but is there any good resource online that might be able to show a diagram or paint a clear picture? explainations only usually leave me asking the same questions. thanks for your time.

i'm currently recording my guitar by placing a Blue Spark condenser microphone infront of the speaker on my guitar amp, running it through a presonus tubepre and that goes through a line 6 toneport into sonar. i've played around with mic placement for a few hours now and modified my guitar tone...
