How can I get the MX-2424 to not readjust my punch in and out points after hitting record? Also, is there a way to adjust the pre-roll on the fly?

I don't see lights on my W2K DAW ethernet port when I connect the MX-2424 and the DAW together, and my DAW behaves as if there is no physical connection. I know that it's not a cable issue. When I plug my internet cable modem CAT-5 (This is a known working ethernet connection), I see lights on...

How do you connect a CD player with RCA jacks to the DM-24? I'm still very new to the mixer. I haven't had success with connecting the jacks to the "2TRK In". When connecting the RCA to a plug that combines the Left and Right signals into a single stereo plug, then connecting this to an...

To reduce a negative impact on STC in a ceiling, how do you recommend installing the track for track lighting? I was hoping to not have to use the drywall anchors that comes with the stuff. Is there a safe way to adhere the track to drywall?

Besides outlawing smoking, that has already been done. I am interested in hearing what tips you folks might have about curbing dust problems.

When I listen to my recordings, I can hear the room sound or natural reverb of the instruments when I listen through headphones. I use those new Bose noise-cancellation cans. However, I can't hear that reverb in the Mackie HR824 monitors. I think I have a pretty dead monitoring room. I have...

In constructing a studio, is a better airtight seal around doorways accomplished if a pre-hung door is installed before the drywall or vice versa? -Thanks

I have done a search here on this subject, and unfortunately, I am not finding the answer. I have Mogami quad cable. How do I solder this to XLR jacks. Specifically, there are 4 wires. There is the ground that wraps around the 3 wires. Of these three wires, two are insulated one is not...

What are your tips maintaining the STC rating in a wall when holes are cut in the drywall to allow audio cable or AC outlets to interface with the interior of the studio? I assume that caulking would be done. Also, is it common practice to fill the gang boxes with insulation? Obviously, the...

Has anybody got a link to a site which lists and categorizes a broad spectrum of mics from many manufacturers objectively. I am not looking for subjective description about "color" or other qualities. What I would like to see is something that answers questions like, "What are my options if I...

I have read about a technique where vocalists can monitor themselves without headphones by singing between two speakers pointed at each other that are wired out of phase. In theory, sound waves hitting the mic at the same time cancel each other out. I am interested in experimenting with this...

How accurate are the meters on the Mackie 24*8? I am talking specifically about the ones in the optional meter bridge. I mainly intend to use the board for monitoring while tracking. I may also use some of the preamps while tracking. During mixdown, I would use the board to mainly perform...

I want to be able to "mult" the balanced outputs of my preamps in a patchbay so that I can get two outputs from each preamp output. I want one output to feed the tape deck, and I want one output to feed the monitoring system. Is it possible for a patchbay to do this? If so, can anybody give a...

What kind of input does a typical RTR machine accept? Is it balanced or unbalanced. If it is balanced, is it TRS or XLR? I am specifically looking at 2" 16 track machines like the Otari MTR-90 II, MCI JH16, or Studer A80 Mark II.

Could somebody please provide a link to a specific product on an American manufacturer's web site of rock wool insulation that has a vapor barrier on it?

I know that there is better sound quality with 1/2" 4-track tape or 1" 8-track tape than you get with 1/2" 8-track or 1" 16-track. I was curious if any of you might be able to post an example that could compare the two formats? I realize that it is quite possible that this request may not be...

How many DI boxes do you folks use, and how do you use them?

I had the chance to hear the new Mesa Boogie guitar recording preamp the other day. It's balls out killer. I have heard the POD, and it's OK, but the boogie is something to behold. Of course, the boogie is a little more expensive at about a grand. However, it really does replace the need to...

Since construction of a window will be impractical, I am considering CCTV (Closed-Circuit-TV) for my studio. Previously, I read about some usage of CCTV in this BBS. I wanted to revisit this topic. I am worried about any noise or line interference which could cause me audio problems by...
