    Headphones

    I recently lost my last pair of headphones, mostly due to cheap materials, although I loved the sound... so, what I'm looking for are versatile closed ear headphones, that I can record and mix with sometimes, and use for listening to music and gaming on my pc at others. The main thing is...

    do i need a preamp?

    i've been using horrible cheap mics for so long that i'm almost getting used to how flat and dull they sound... but, sadly, i've got to part ways with them and spend some money on more real mics. a question, though. could part of the problem be that i'm not using any mic preamps? i've used a...

    Zildjian ZXT

    Zildjian's new top of their bottom line, the ZXTs - anyone have them or tried them out? I'm looking to replace some horrible horrible cymbals I have on my practice set and although they're still too new to have a lot of reviews out on them, I've heard good things.

    Mastering Levels?

    This may or may not be a completely stupid question... I have always used a similar technique which involves recording and mixing with my 4, 8, now 16 track, and then recording the output via my soundcard in a sound editor and editing and saving it that way. This seems fine, but I've always had...

    cheap newbie box?

    I'm looking for some kind of hardware sampler/sequencer/groovebox/synth, whatever, to play with. I have tons of experience with software sequencers/trackers but I've always wanted to try the seemingly more limited scope of hardware. I enjoy and make a lot of industrial type stuff, but would like...

    Noise Reduction

    I record music on a digital 4 track and then record it with my sound card through the line in... its ok, but there is just a tiny amount of background static that totally degrades the overall quality of the track. Recently I was playing around with CoolEdit2000's noise reduction feature and...

    line in recording problems

    a complete newbie question, I know... I've had both very good and very poor results when mixing my multitrack to my computer to make my recordings into .wav or .mp3 format - here's the deal. I run the output on my 4 track into the input on my soundcard and use cooledit (or any other sound...

    returns

    Ok, this is a complete newbie question and I probably have a lot of my terminology wrong, so spare me... I've been recording awhile, but I've never had a unit with aux/effects returns. I'm going to be upgrading soon, and I read something about newer digital units having the ability to use...

    Nady SP9

    Althought I've decided to take the "slowly buy good mics one at a time" method, one of my good friends was considering ordering a ton of Nady SP9 mics, since they're so cheap. I Personally have come to the conclusion that using cheap mics doesn't bother me much, I like most of the stuff I...

    XLR to 1/4

    I currently use a crappy tascam porta03mk2 and 2 mics - one mic is generic with a built in 1/4 cable, and one is a good quality mic with a xlr to 1/4 cable. I plan on getting a new 4 track, and 4 (or more) new mics to go with the setup. I'm curious about the cables... should I just buy more...
