Hi - I'm trying to sharpen up a recording I made a few months ago. The problem is, I only used one condenser mic on the drum kit, and although I've got a fairly decent drum track (considering the circumstances), the cymbals are louder than the rest of the kit. Is there a way that I can remove...

Hi - I'm using a desktop pc with a Delta 44 sound card in my home studio at the moment. For various resons, I'd like to use my laptop as the main recording interface instead of the desktop pc. I realise I will have to buy a new external card to do this, but i've looked on the m-audio website...

I've decided to pursue a career in audio engineering, and would like to eventually work in recording studios, television companys or similar. Has anyone on this board been to uni to study in this area? I've been working in I.T. for two years since I left college, so I have no knowledge of good...

Hello!! - I've got a question about the inputs on the breakout box on the delta 44 - My set-up is as follows: Mic (mono) -> Audiobuddy Input 1-> RNC -> Delta 44 Breakout Box The leads haven't arrived yet, they are still in the post, so I haven't connected anything up yet. Well, my question...

Hi - I've just ordered an M-Audio Delto 44 sound card (with breakout box included). For many different reasons, I need to put my equipment rack the other side of the room from the computer, so I will need to put the breakout box included with the card with the rack as well. I'd like to buy the...

Hi - I bought an Audigy 2 Platinum a couple of months ago, because a friend recommended it to me for recording. Since then, I've joined this forum and have seen the (mostly) negative attitude towards this card, but I couldn't find a description of why they are worse at recording then, say, an...

Hi - I've searched this forum for information on this (seriously newbie-ish) subject, but couldn't find anything. I am setting up a small home recording project studio, and am a bit confused on the terminoligy behind cables & wires. Firstly, are all 1/4 inch jack leads the same? Are they...

Just a short question (hopefully) - what kind of results can I expect by using a Joemeek MQ3 compressor and an M-Audio Audio buddy in sequence to record guitars and vocals? Are they supposed to be used in sequence (I haven't ordered them yet, so I'm making sure before I buy)? As you can tell...

Hi, just a simple question (I hope) - I've ordered a pair of Yorkville YSM1 monitors, which haven't arrived yet - I'm looking at the ports of my Creative Audigy 2 soundcard, and I can't figure out where the monitors are supposed to be plugged into. I haven't ordered a power amp yet - will the...

Hi - I've been looking for a place in the UK that sells Yorkville ysm1 Passive monitors for a decent price. Simple task, you might say, but I've been looking for the past few hours, and the cheapest price I've been quoted so far has been £299 (actually, that was the only place I could find that...
