Quick question about using a Cloudlifter with a Shure Beta 57A. Is it okay to do it??? I am using a Yamaha MG10XUF mixer with phantom power, an AKG c214 condenser mic, and a Shure Beta 57A to add an extra microphone for an acoustic guitar. I am getting a really good sound with this setup but...

I am doing some different things where I need to use Facebook Live and/or YouTube Live, Twitch, Skype, etc. and I would like to get the best sound possible. I am really wanting to treat it like a live performance and stream what I would from stage, meaning I would like to at least add a little...

Hopefully this is in the right place. I had a quick question for people that have some experience with the Mackie ProFX12v2. I actually have a different setup that I use for recording at home. I got the ProFX12v2 specifically for live use but one of the things that I liked about it was that I...

I have been searching and searching but not really finding exactly what I am looking. I am trying to find something that would be a good PC alternative to the "drummer" in Garageband. That program makes it so easy to drop in premade drum tracks and that is really what I am looking for. I love...

Okay, need some quick help and I am just looking for a little advice. I am looking for a small mixer that I can use for small solo or duo acoustic gigs as well as recording at home. Most all recordings will be going into an iPhone or iPad so I know that I want USB connectivity. I have...

I am looking for the best way to run my Mackie 802vlz4 into my Focusrite 2i2. I want to be able to use the Mackie for the extra input and to set levels between vocals, mic'd guitar, and acoustic running direct. Nothing fancy, I would just like to be able to record the main mix. Running from...

Okay, I am trying to make a decision and I am having a hard time with it. Right now I have been recording with an MXL 990/991 combo through a Focusrite 2i2 2nd gen directly into my computer or my iPad for recording videos and Facebook Live sessions. It has worked well but I am thinking that I...

I am wanting to get a single condenser to use for recording at home. It would be pretty exclusively set as kind of an overhead for vocals. I don't mind if it picks up a little acoustic guitar but the majority of the acoustic will be recorded running direct. The style is of course vocals and...

I am wanting to record some solo acoustic gigs running from my Mackie 802VLZ4 into my computer. Since the Mackie does not have a USB out I was thinking that the best way to do it would be to run the Mackie through the Scarlett 2i2v2 and then into the computer. My question is what would be the...

I have started recording more and more and have gotten comfortable using condenser microphones for my acoustic and vocals so I am now looking to upgrade a little bit. My current setup is an MXL 991 on the acoustic and an MXL 990 on the vocals. Both running direct into an Allen and Heath Zed...

Okay, so due to space limitations I am trying to minimize my recording setup as much as possible. I have decided to go with an interface over some other options. I am only going to be recording 1 guitar and vocals. Occasionally it will be an acoustic, other times an electric. I don't have...

I am wanting to create some backing tracks for practicing and possibly some live use. I was wondering what the best way to do it would be? I already have an Allen and Heath ZED 10FX which has the USB connection. However, I was wondering if it would be easier to have a dedicated usb interface...

I am one of those guys that has to record everything that I play because my mind is getting old and I can barely remember breakfast! HAHAHA (Actually, I blame it on my 4 and 6 year olds!) I have recently started recording videos from my iPhone or iPad when I have a new idea because it helps...

Great forum with an incredible knowledge base, so I am really hoping that you guys might be able to help me out a little. I have recorded in many different formats, in studios, at home, live field recording and I have always kind of just made due with what I had at the time. Not a bad thing...

Greetings and salutations! I am having a little trouble and I am really hoping that someone that has been through this can help me out. I have retired from the live venues and I am now just setting my sights on recording things for posterity sake and so that years from now my kids can look...
