has any one had any experience with the hear tech? i've read lots of good stuff about the central station and is defiantely something i'm interested in, but the hear tech looks nice also and is a little easier on the check book. thanks!

Hey guys, I was looking for some new OHs and I have a budget of 350-500 in mind. I'm looking a lot at SM81s, but I assume that there's probably some better options. I'm definately looking for a smaller diaphram since I already have a pair of 4050s. I'm looking to get a few more options on...

i've been reading a lot about ad/da conversions and running apogee, lynx, etc with your setup to improve it. however...if you have a box that already has convertors, aren't you held back by your original box? or when you have an external set of convertors does the digital signal bypass the...

given the price of an HD setup, do you guys think it'd be worth while to invest in the older hardware up on ebay? it comes out to be 10-20% of the price of a new setup (for example...the old farm cards are going for $200 a piece now). i don't really care about the pro tools software in any...

I'm looking to expand my studio a bit. At this point I'm using a presonus firepod and am looking to add new pres and maybe convertors. however, since the firepod can only use two external pres, i've tossed around buying a new setup. i would keep the firepod and use it just as a preamp section...

Hey guys, this isn't recording, but I can't think of a better board that would be able to help with this. I need to completely mute my drums and cymbals for a video shoot I'm doing with my band this weekend. I figured out that I can just throw some towels in the drums and that works great, but...

Hello everyone, I have two cards at my disposal and would like to know which one has better converters. I have the M-Audio Audiophile 192 and the Presonus Firepod. Now, I'm not even remotely concerned about all the pres that the firepod has over the audiophile and ANYTHING other than just the...

i'm very interested in beefing up my monitor chain as far as accuracy goes. i really feel that the monitors i'm using crank out more bass than i'm hearing. i'm using m-audio bx8s on mopads sitting on my desk. they're only a couple inches away from the wall and are properly angled at me. my...

Hello all, I'm not sure if this was something for here for the sound card category, but I figured I'd give it a shot here. I have both of these at my disposal and am wondering which one you would prefer over strictly based on the sound/converters. though i've never direectly a/b-ed the two...

I have two options for recording my drums in. I have a DW Satin Oil kit (13" 16" 22" kick), DW 14" bronze snare, 12" zildjian special recording hihats, 20"k custom dark ride, 18" and 19" z custom rock crashes, 19" k custom dark china. i'm recording with 2 firepods using two 57's on the snare...

Hello everyone, I've done some searches to no avail, and messed around for hours, but just can't get this sounding as I'd like it to. I've tried a couple different basses, and there is a very confident talented bassist behind it, so it's not performance related. I can't see to get very...

so the guitarist in my band insisted on putting a solo in one of our songs featuring the digitech whammy pedal...set 2 octaves up. if that wasn't enough, he's playing rather high on the fret board. now, the solo is cool, fits the songs, blah blah, so we don't want to just record it an octave...

Hey guys, I don't know how many of you guys have actually tried both of these, but I'm looking to get a nice tube preamp, and the two I'm most interested in are The Brick and The Robbie. I love the 737...but out of my price range. Infact, so is the Robbie, but I'd scrape it together if it's...

I think I might know the answer to this, but I wanted some outside opinions. When tracking backing harmonies, particularly higher harmonies, how are the pros getting the notes so smooth. There are many recordings out there with the lead singer doing his/her own backing vocals, and the higher...

I know this is mostly a preference quesiton and different preamps work better with different sources, but I'm hoping to at least be guided in the right direction. I'm looking for a two channel preamp used almost exclusively on heavy distorted guitar (Mesa half stack and Gibson Les Pauls mostly)...
