A good friend of mine's son is starting to rap and he needs something very low cost so he can record his voice. I found these, how is the cost to quality ratio on these units? Anything cheaper? Anything a little better quality? Right now I'm looking at: M-Audio Fast Track Pro Mobile USB...

I need help coming up with a design for my studio. I have my garage which I'm going to close off and it measures 21' x 13', and part of my formula living room which is 10' x 10'. The garage drops 3" so using that as part of the drum room is out of the question. Should I leave it as a...

I have a Mackie 1640 and I love it. I upgraded from Motu 828 MKII and Digitmax LT. Very nice and clear, but I need some thing with a nice warmth to it, but I'm not saying the Onxy are cold by any means. Are the RNP in the same ball park as the onyx pres? Would the RNP be an upgrade in quality...

Which would be better for toms, snare, and kick AE3000 or MD421 II? I have one MD421II and I love it. I use it as a room mic because it picks up so much punch from the kick, it's amazing! Any other opinions? What mic's would do a better job than these two in the same price range? This is...

Do you think the Onxy Pre Amps are better than the Yamaha 01V96? What about compared to MOTU's HD896? I'm about ready to upgrade from a MOTU MK II 828 and a Presonus Digi LT, I want more inputs and better pres. I want fat sound with clarity, using for metal bands so drums, guitars, bass...

What are the best sub $400 Drum Over heads for recording? Shure SM81's? I can get a brand new set for $600 bucks shipped (non matched). Would Oktava MK-012 be just as good for over heads as the Shures?

I using the pres on my Motu Mk II 828 and a pair of Studio Project C4's, and the C4's are picking up the toms louder than the cymbals. What can I do to fix that? I've tried them higher than normal, closer to the cymbals, and where I usually put them, what else can I do? Take Care

Hello. Which of these mics would be best as overheads for micing up a drum set. I work with metal bands and have been using SP C4's, and have been happy but I would like to upgrade. I'm looking for something with great bass response, great clarity, and with out being overly bright. Please...

What are the best mics I can get for about $1200-/+ for close as possible to studio quality (clarity and full sounding) recordings. Yes I understand that the drums, drummer, and room have a lot to do with it. I'm worried about the mic's right now. Please help would be greatly appreciated...
