Owens Corning 703 for my 4x4 Vocal Booth: Will 1" thickness be enough or 2" better? Hey all - I've been searching threads for info on OC 703 but can't find an answer to this....any help would be appreciated. I'm building a 4x4x8 vocal booth for voiceovers only: no singing. I'm drying to...

Hey all - I'm looking to find a low-cost mic for my studio which is less 'sensitive' to room acoustics and background noise than my current condenser (Rode NT1a). The condenser is fine in my studio, but there are occasions when I have to record elsewhere, and I'm getting problems with room...

Hey all - Can any one offer me any help with Cubase? I'm about to punch the screen right now!! ARGhh!! Basically, I'm trying to learn how to use plugins: I've figured out how to apply effects (compression etc) to my tracks AFTER I record, but can't find out how to apply them to the tracks...

Hey Guys - First of all, many thanks to those who posted to my question about good budget studio headphones. I looked around at a lot of dealer sites including Ebay, then found place called Dakmart, where I got a set of refurbished Senheiser HD205 phones for $9.99 plus shipping. :D they seem...

I'm looking for a low-price pair of studio headphones, and wonder whether anyone can recommend a set? I really need to keep down the cost, but I'm aware that there's a point below which it's not worth bothering.....Of course, I don't know what that price point is. These are for use in vocals...

Hey all - I'm using Cubase LE with a new Lexicon Alpha, and have a problem that's got me completely clueless..... I installed the Alpha and Cubase fine, everything worked for a week or two, and then suddenly playback became very distorted. It records 100% through the Alpha, and if I export...

Hey there - I recently bought an SM7b for use as a VO mic. I was warned that the mic had low output, so did my research and chose a pre that offered 65db of gain: an ART Pro Channel. I've just set the system up, and to my horror I'm having significant problems getting sufficient level from...

Hey there - I've been researching microphones to use for VO work in my home studio. My preference is for the SM7 after many many people have recommended it, but thought I'd ask one more question. For the time being, I can only afford the usual basic room treatment/soundproofing...... it would...

Does anyone have a Lexicon Alpha that they'd be willing to sell? Maybe you've upgraded and got beyond it? I know it's a long shot, but I'm looking for one of these to get home recording again on a tight budget: if you can help, please do get in touch! Thanks J:D

Hey guys - In my research into getting a condenser mic, I've been looking at the CAD range, specifically the Trion 6000 and the GXL3000. I've seen some postings which state the they're basically the same internal components in different cases. Does anyone have any experience knowledge about...

Hey there - I'd welcome a little advice from anyone on this matter......I'm rebuilding my home studio after a long break. I'm only going to be recording voiceovers. Last time, I used a Rode NT1 and was planning on another (or NT1-a). However, I just thought I'd ask: can anyone suggest another...

Hi there - I'm currently trying to pick a budget USB interface up to $200. I'll be using a separate mic preamp, so want to use something with a line level input.....the problem is, all the interfaces I'm considering (Line 6 etc) proudly advertise the mic preamps, but don't specify that they...

Hi There - Can anyone recommend a USB interface for me? My absolute max is $200. Requirements: 1 Line-level input (am using a separate mic preamp) 24/96 capability preferred The most reliable!! I'm using it for voiceovers only, so I only need 1 channel, and want the best quality sound and...

HI There - I'm getting together a home studio for voiceover recording. All I need to do (all!!) is record single track voice to submit for demos etc etc. I'm using a Rode NT-1a condenser, VTB-1 mic preamp. SO: my question is this: in the past I've abandoned home recording because I can never...

Hi There - I'm new to the forum, so please forgive the newbie question! I'm rebuilding a home studio after several years: I'll be using it to record only voiceover work. I'm uncertain about the digital side of things: primarily, is there any difference in sound quality between firewire and...
