Hello, my band and I are looking to purchase a mic and pre combo for a record we are working on now. We are making the purchase mainly for vocals, but may use some of it on guitars and piano. Right now I am mainly using a SP C1 into Soundcraft M12 pres (or sometimes blue tube) into a Digi001...

What do you guys use to switch between sets of monitors if you don't have that option on your interface/board/software? I'm running a Digi001 and the best thing I can find so far is an A/B switch designed for speaker level signals from Radio Shack, or rerouting my outputs on my Digi001...

I have an SM57 on which the "windscreen" (if you can call it that) has cracked slightly and broken off, exposing what appears to be the capsule.. How does this thing normally attatch? Can I glue it back on? Scott

Hi home recordists.. Any of you looking to step into the commercial world? I am planning to lease a 2500 sq ft warehouse with 22' ceilings in Beltsville, MD, but need to offset the rent by subleasing. I'm looking to rent about 900 sq ft. Must have own clients and gear. Please email me if...

I've got my buddy's triton Pro X here and I have all the necessary cabling hooked up into my Digi001 to record some MIDI tracks, but I don't really understand how to access different instruments for different tracks. It seems as though I can only use one patch for all of the tracks, which is...

I recently installed a new power supply and motherboard into my protools digi001 rig and ever since, my monitors have been popping when I power on the computer or shut it down. It is especially bad when I shut down. Does anyone know what aspects of a motherboard or power supply could cause...

Should be using some kind of really high quality CD-R for my master CDs for bands? Or is any old CD-R good enough? I'm not particularly concerned about disc life, thats their problem. I'm more concerned about sound quality. Which CD-Rs sound the best? Scott

Hey anyone have the export selects (fusion)? What do you think? I have an old set of exports, but I think I'm gonna get some of the new export selects for the bigger kick, smaller toms, better finish, and better mounting. You guys think its worth it? Scott

I got some songs up if you want to check them out, give advice, tell me how much they suck, whatever... www.earcandyonline.com

How do I get my songs louder? Pls don't flame. I understand compression will kill my dynamic range but I feel like I'm already compressing too much and I still can't get my songs loud enough. I do about 3:1 when tracking vocals and guitars and then I often add anywhere from 2:1 to 4:1 on most...

I haven't been on here for a while, but I've been working on a lot of stuff including this tune.. Let me know what you think as far as the recording and the song in general. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1776&alid=-1 Be brutal. Scott

Can anyone recommend an inexpensive mutli-channel (4 at least) mic pre? Would I be better off just getting a mixer? If so, can you recommend a decent inexpensive mixer? Scott

So I've been reading this amazing thread after doing a search for "liability" in the forum. Here's my story: I'm 20 years old, a junior at the University of Maryland. I'm a computer engineering major and it sucks. So I quit my job, got rid of all my old gear (well most of it), moved into a...

I have some acoustic foam on my hands I want to deaden up the sound in my recording room a little bit.. Mainly, I want to put them up in the corner behind the drums and possibly try to set something up for vocs. Any techniques I should use for placement of the foam tiles, or resources with some...

It seems like sometimes when I punch in using auto punch its not working right... I see the record button light up and when I hit stop I see it process the audio file... But for some reason when I play it back its still the old version... What am I doing wrong?? Scott

This threads probably run its course at least a hundred times, but I always want an updated opinion... Whats the best way to add some warmth to my digital recordings? I was thinking probably a nice tube preamp would be much better than the preamps in my Mackie 808s (stage mixer)....Any other...

I've got a Layla 20 bit and running Cubase VST on a PC with Win2000. I used to have this system on Windows XP and I never had any problems with it (although I didn't use it much). But now my audio drops out after only a few seconds (10-30 at max) during playback. It seems to be recording ok...

Hello, I am using Cubase VST with Echo Layla 20 on PC running windows 2000. The layla has 10 analog outputs, and i would like to use a bunch of them at the same time. Is there anyway to output the master signal to more than one pair of outputs? I haven't been using the software for very long...

I've got a Layla 20 bit card and my computer is set up a couple rooms away from the room with all the instruments. Anyone experimented with long cables, or several cables connected together? I remembered reading something about the topic in the manual but I coudln't find it again. I need to...
