    Finding a commercial/residential space

    I'm doing some research on the possibility of buying a space in Chicago in which I can live and also fashion a respectable studio. I don't think I want to shell out to maintain both a home and a studio. How does one go about finding a suitable piece of commercial/residential property? I've...

    Greetings, folks. Just rolled my own DAW and looking for advice on burning it in. I'm looking for tests that would uncover flaws in any of the components, benchmarks and the like. Free if at all possible! :) I ran the trial SiSandra burn in test overnight, and it ran straight without...

    ECM8000 noisy!

    On the advice of many here, I picked up two ECM8000s online. I have to say that compared to my main mic, an AT4033, these suckers are quite noisy. I know, what do I expect for 30-some-odd dollars? I suppose I'm just disappointed. I mic'ed an acoustic guitar with an ECM8000 side-by-side with...

    The better monitor (RF noise) - CRT or LCD

    Seems that my Dell P990 monitor is getting ready to give up the ghost. Though not relishing the thought of laying out $$$ for a new monitor, I'm possibly considering an LCD monitor, for the following reason: Recording with my guitar in front of my CRT creates NOISE. A nice little buzz. I'm...
