    inexpensive near-field monitors

    I currently use a Harman/Kardon AVR45 receiver/amp paired with a set of Infinity RS-3's for my recording studio. This works well and the speakers are even magnetically sheilded. However, they are big, and especially the HK receiver is huge and heavy and most of my recording is done "on-the-go"...

    I'm using the M-Audio USB Quattro. I use N-Track studio using the ASIO drivers to get 4-channel audio recording with this device. The device recommends a 500mhz processor for full-out recording, and i've been using it on my 400mhz laptop. About every 2 minutes or so into a recording i get a...

    mic cables

    Looking into buying some new 50' xlr low-z cables. Musician's Friend has some decent Shure cables on sale for $20 for the 50'. Are these cables good enough? I'm doing home recording stuff so nothing super professional (example microphone to be used: oktava mc012). I'm pretty sure the Monster...

    Marshall 2001 v 2003 v 603 v b. ecm8000

    Many of you may remember me going through the pains of choosing my next big investment in microphones and I *finally* have to the money to start buying! (still on a very limited budget, though). I will almost certainly buy a pair of ECM8000's as I need some good omni's and these seem to be the...

    yes, another mixer opinion question..

    Need a good mixer with good sound for the smallest budget possible. I record mainly acoustic (piano, violin, voice, choral, guitar, etc.) but also do some rock stuff (but as far as sound quality goes, I care more about the acoustic/classical). I will only have 4 or 5 mics for quite a long time...

    microphone selection pared down

    I've narrowed down my microphone search to the following models: 1. Marshall v67 2. Marshall 603 3. Marhsall 2003 At the moment, my priority for micing is piano and violin. I recently did a recording of a piano using 2 akg c1000's and was not terribly impressed by their sound for the piano...

    USB Quattro users - please help

    Well, I went ahead and took the plunge in buying this product despite the very mixed reviews on it. Getting it work at all required switching over to a different recording software (N-Track as opposed to Cool Edit Pro) but this wasn't too big a deal. I was so surprised when I actually got 4...

    mackie mixers - improvements in pro versions

    I'm looking into buying a mixer, most likely used as I am on a very tight budget. Overall Mackie has been recommended to me as being the best price/performance, and I have used Mackie's before and enjoyed them. I am wondering about one thing. I've found many used Mackie mixers which are of...

    mic preamps and line in jacks

    I'm doing a very small, low budget (ie - getting paid nothing) gig for a friend where we'll be laying down some simple guitar and vocal tracks. I will most likely have (and I'm sure battling to get to work right) the Audiosport quattro running on my laptop. Now, the audiosport quattro, as far...
