    A Good Investment?

    I presently run an Audio Technica AT4040 into an ART Pro Channel preamp then into a Delta 44. I only record male RnB vocals and like to do all my mixing on my computer rather than an outboard. I record in a homemade booth (a huge rug on two large frames with a reflexion filter in front of that)...

    NOOB - Laptop Home Recording

    Excuse me if this comes across as particularly stupid, but I am at somewhat of a a loss as to how to record high quality audio via my laptop. Previously I used my PC, which has since collapsed under numerous viruses and generally being quite old now. I was previously running:- AUDIO TECHNICA...

    ART Pro Channel

    Hi guys Would appreciate any feedback from those who've used this unit in terms of the settings to use to get me started. I'm connecting to an Audio Technica AT4040 microphone recording Pop/RnB vocals. I am rubbish with the low cut not, should this be high or low? I am useless with the...

    M-Audio Tampa vs JOEMEEK SIXQ vs FOCUSRITE PLATINUM TRACKMASTER PRO

    URGENT ADVICE NEEDED! My M-Audio TAMPA's input blew recently, so having sold a phone and some other crap on Ebay I managed to get another £200 together to replace it. Now I'm slightly anxious, cause whilst I liked the pre, it didn't blow me away, but it certainly did a good enough job for the...

    Best soundcard?

    I have recently purchased the Delta 44 but hate it cause my output isn't stereo, everything is mono. Please can you recommend a new soundcard, possibly costing a bit more like the EMU that would offer me stereo output from one output jack? I just can't be doing a panned mixdown in mono any longer!

    Rnb/Pop vocals

    In terms of panning and recording, how should I set myself up? I always used to do the lead vocal with one dub vocal panned 100% left and one 100% right but with the volume down a bit. On my new equipmet this just sounds cluttered. How do you guys lay a lead vocal? On it's own? Also, on hooks...

    Delta 44 DVD crackle...

    First off:- - Jacks and leads are all brand new and I've rotated to check they are not the problem. - There are no visible hardware conflicts on my audio equipment. - Volume settings are not the problem, I have tried messing with the Delta 44 volume settings AND the external amp...

    Can poor room acoustics...

    ...make even the best equipment sound terrible? Cause I've upgraded the hell out of my equipment yet the old equipment gave a much better and cleaner sound (but I moved house in between). Guess my main question is; how much difference to a recording will room acoustics make (equipment is...

    AKG b 2000c VS Audio Technica AT4040

    Shouldn't be any comparison right? So why am I getting a crisp studio quality from the AKG b 2000c in a $40 preamp and a hollow sounding vocal from the AT4040 in a $300 preamp that as soon as you put reverb on it sound like it was recorded at 96kbps?! Help, I'm depressed beyong all belief...

    What now?

    I feel a little lost. I've enjoyed great amounts of information from you all with regards my setup and eventually bought:- Delta 44 M-Audio Tampa Audio Technica AT4040 ...all of which I'm assured are great pieces of kit. My question I guess is...what now? I want another nice piece of kit to...

    Best mid-range microphone preamp?

    I am getting paranoid after a few bad experiences with equipment, so this is my final time of asking an opinion on a damned preamp! Which of these would be the best preamp (for the money) to record RnB/Pop male vocals in a converted wardrobe (with blankets) using an Audio Technica AT4040 mic?

    $500 preamp...

    I am using an MXL V67 at the moment but have been advised to upgrade to the AT 4040 (which I'm going to do). Currently I'm running the M-Audio Audiobuddy Pre, but I've been told that the preamp won't bring the best out of that mic. I reckon I have about £200-£300 (say $500 cause our electronics...
