    FS: New 16-space Raxxess Rack (Canada)

    This is the Raxxess ER-16. It is unopened and unassembled - I bought it from Music123 and they were so late in actually shipping it that I no longer needed it by the time I got it. Figured this could save some Canadian the hassle of customs and international shipping. I'm in Vancouver. $120 CDN...

    A Ben Folds cover (Fred Jones Part 2)

    I'm not sure if cover songs are allowed here - if not someone tell me and I'll remove this. Anyway lots of people around here seem to be mentioning Ben Folds a lot so I thought I'd just share a cover of Fred Jones Part 2 I recently recorded with my friend Candice who plays piano. No voilin...

    New MXL 900-series mics

    Has anyone had a chance to try these new MXL's out yet? Specifically, the 909, 990, 992, and most importantly the 960 (tube). I just did a shootout at the local store on my singer's voice between a Shure KSM32, MXL V67, Blue Bluebird (sucked the most!), CAD VSM-1, Apex 460, and MXL V69. The...

    The first new release from my band Appleton in over two years! Recorded in my modest project studio.

    Curious - microphone 'distance control' focussing?

    Out of curiousity, I'm interested in knowing if it's possible for a mic to 'focus' on sounds created within a certain distance range from the capsule... like 0-3 inches for cellphone mics, 50-75 feet for shotgun micing an orchestra but rejecting ambience and crowd noise (but shooting right...

    keyboard, video, mouse extensions

    In my new warehouse space, my PC is going to be in a seperate glass closet that sits about 25-30 feet away from my planned mix position. Does anyone have experience with running KVM extension cables? If so, what brands are good, and is it a good idea to pay the extra money for top-notch cable...

    what is the matrix?

    could someone explain to me what exactly a matrix is, and what it would normally be used for? i've only used one board that has matrices, and my general impression is this: it's basically a post-everything aux-send from a buss. each buss's contribution to the matrix can be levelled...

    New house construction - basement studio

    These days around my area it is actually cheaper to build a new house than buy an existing one (I live in Vancouver area... most expensive real estate in Canada... ouch) My dad has a friend who is a contractor and builds quality houses. He is (likely) going to build us a new house from a spec...

    hey guys, got another one for you. SONG HERE Recorded and mixed in about 6-8 hours total. This was just intended as a demo to show to our bassist before we actually record our album, so we'll be completely redoing this recording (along with many others like it) very shortly, with way better...

    MXL603 female vocals... nice!

    Check this. Lucy Smith Just recorded this girl today. First take. Did about 5 minutes of mixing (just a touch of compression and that ridiculous but damned impressive LOTR-type reverb.) I had an inkling that this mic might be good on female vocals. I wasn't dissapointed. So, anyone else out...

    nature recording

    i'm looking into getting very serious about recording nature. my only experience with it thus far has been recording the birds and deer etc. in the forest in my back yard, but i've loved every second of it (minus the nearby highway growl... i can only really record in the middle of the night)...
