Great job Slack, Ed, and everyone else! This thing is fantastic and well worth the wait. I love it!

Okay, so I found a drummer who I think is going to work out great. She's got a great attitude, and she's a solid drummer, and she's got a nice sounding kit. She also happens to be left-handed. No big deal, in fact these are stupid questions... 1) Do you think I should pan the drums to...

Hey, I found another cool link. It's on the Whirlwind cable site. It's a handy patchbay guide you can print off to help you plan your bay. Pretty damned cool if you ask me! http://www.whirlwindusa.com/pre01.html

I don't hear anyone around here mention the MP20 often. Is there anyone out there using one...how do you like it? I was under the impression that the MP20 is a fantastic sounding preamp and at a decent price well within the budget of most home recordists.

So far it sounds great. Of course now I'm forced to start climbing this learning curve. The software router is a little bit over whealming, which is surprising. Maybe I'm just not "getting" it yet. Funny, it seems like the more gear you get, the more you need. For example, I got the 1010...

How do I hook up a patch bay? This question comes up from time to time and I found a handy little diagram to help you out. Its at: http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/pdf.music?p=DBX012 Its the product manual for a dbx patch bay. Its got a decent explaination of patching and a useful diagram...

So I was dropping off a CD to a drummer in a music store today and while I was waiting I was playing around with a lower end Takamine and was extremely pleased with the sound. I remember Takamines as being bright sounding, and this one was no different, but I was surprised at how good this...

This is kind of a bonehead question, but here it goes anyway. I have a 16 bit version of Cubase (3.7 actually)f and I won't be upgrading to 24 for a little while. The Delta 1010 has a software switch allowing me to run 16 bit for the time being right? I won't have this nice 24 bit box that I...

I was looking at the pictures of your studio on John Sayer's site and I was wondering...is that carpet on your walls? Also...I don't see a green cushion anywhere. Is this a bit of false advertising? -Mark

If anyone follows this, ProRec.com has this year's Point to Point up and running. Check it out. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, every year ProRec.com dissects a recording project from bottom to top. This is the third year they've done it and they are always full of...

What do you guys think...should I sell this thing or keep it? I'm leaning towards selling it. If anyone out there wants it, make me an offer and I'll consider it. I have to tell you, I'm really tossed about this since I love this thing. I just don't use it as much and I'd like to be able to...

This is an interesting question that I thought I'd run by you guys for the hell of it. Would you buy a used sound card (for example, say a MOTU 2408, or Delta 1010) from someone? Would you buy one from an Ebay seller? If not, why? If so, why? I'm curious what you guys think about this...

I was just on "Nowhere" trying to download a tune by someone here and the "download" button wouldn't work. It was just a static gif rather than a linked one. Anyone know what's going on there? Weird.

As the title of this thread indicates, I'm having a problem with my monitors (powered monitors) popping when I shut them down. I'm doing it correctly and in the proper sequence, so that isn't the problem. But I'm wondering if maybe there's something else that I've overlooked. Its only started...

Let me start by saying that I like zzounds.com. I've ordered stuff from them and I've generally been happy with their service. I liked them more when they didn't charge shipping, but that was too good to be true while it lasted. Anyway, I got an email from them explaining their special sale...

Okay, here is the new tune. It's called "Better Days" and it's at... www.mp3.com/alphadog A few quick notes...the drum loops came from a disc a got with Cubase a few years ago. They were REX files that I popped into the song AFTER I had everything else recorded. I actually recorded...

This isn't very new, but it'll be new around here anyway. I'm not happy with the mix, but those of you who are familiar with my stuff might remember me mentioning the panic mix session I did when I thought I was selling my 16 track. Anyway, this is one of those tunes. It's called "Stealing...

Hey Emeric...I notice that you record your drums in the same room that your control room and monitors are in. Am I right about this? If so, how do you go about setting up a decent drum sound, just experience? Do you rely on headphones and then play back a section to see if you like the sound...

I just wanted to say thanks for the Home Recording Studios site Brian and John have up. Also thanks to everyone who sends them pics...it's quickly becoming one of my favorite parts of this community. Each one of these studios looks like I could have a blast playing around in there. If I ever...

I consider myself a fairly intellegent guy, but this one has me scratching my head and maybe someone else out there has the same problem. When referring to microphones, what does the word "transients" mean? I have an idea, but I'd like someone to define it better for me. Example of the...
