I am on a tight budget, but I still want to get my closet/mic booth padded up... So it's either this: http://www.foambymail.com/Eggcrate.html or fiberglass sheets wrapped up in something... Anybody know any other types of cheap foam that work relatively well? Here are some pics of my "mic...

I have an old SM58 that I am using just for rehearsals now and what not. I noticed the other day that the connection is a bit loose and that when I turn/plug in the mic jack in different ways, sound cuts out sometimes. Anybody know how to fix this? Appreciate it, Triple

I have just ordered a brand-spankin'-new Audio-Technica AT4040 condenser mic, and I am looking for a preamp with phantom power that will do it justice, but also NOT break the bank... Something under $200 preferrably. Is there anything for that price that will make my condenser sound good and...

I recently got a condenser (Audio-Technica 4040), and I am getting a phantom powered preamp (M-Audio Audio Buddy), but my Delta 1010LT has built-in preamps. Anybody know how to shut these off so that an external preamp can be used instead?

I've been using my Delta 1010LT soundcard with my SM58 for a while, but I recently got some dough together and bought an Audio-Technica AT4040 condenser. My question now is... Should I keep going into the micpre's on the 1010 LT and just get a source of phantom power, or get a phantom...

I searched the board's old posts, but I wasn't able to find anything that resembled my situation, so here goes my second question now that I've purchased my condenser mic... My current set-up is: - Audio-Technica AT4040 condenser mic - Delta 1010LT Soundcard I know the 1010LT has built-in...

Is there really any difference between these two microphones? And if so, is it really worth paying that much more for the 32? I've heard good things about the 27... I will be using one of these mics for vocals only. Anybody know what's better? Lemme know... thanks, y'all. :) - T

Hello, all. I'm looking for a little advice. So far, I've bought a Delta 1010 LT soundcard, and I'm recording right now on a Shure SM58 w/ a pop filter. I'm thinking about upgrading to a condenser mic, but I'm not sure where to turn. I'm a big fan of Shure products, but I've heard great...

Where can I purchase rockwool online? If I can't get it online, is there some chain stores I can look into? Thanks... - T

So I went to Ace Hardware today looking for fiberglass sheets to deaden the reflection inside my mic booth... Me: Hi, I'm looking for some fiberglass for a recording studio to deaden sound reflection. Would you have anything like that? Worker: Yeah, we do, but the state doesn't permit us to...

Okay, I've read through all the old threads about egg crates, sleeping foam, etc. It seems like people have mixed feelings about all this. Some seem to think they do work somewhat for deadening sound reflection, while others think they do "ABSOLUTELY NOTHING" as they so strongly put it. What...

Hi, I'm looking for a good, inexpensive headphone amp to go along with my new Sony 7506's... Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Also, I was wondering if you just plug the headphone amp right into the standard headphone jack, and then plug the headphones into the amp? (Sorry, I'm a...

I'm looking for a good pair of headphones that I can both record AND monitor on. My most important criteria is that they not give feedback into the microphone, so closed-ear style is a must. Also, does anyone know of any decent but affordable headphones amps I could get to go along with this...

So I finally got my SB Audigy and Delta 1010-LT to coexist in harmony. :) Yay. Now the question is, what exactly are all these things on the card and all the controls in the M-Audio HQ? Which one do I plug my mic into? All I want to do is record vocals in Cool Edit through my Delta 1010-LT...
