So I'm cruising through some recording sessions with my old Teac 80-8 and I go to overdub some geetar and the meters are rockin' and I go to play it back...nothing. I recheck my signal flow, it's all good. When recording, the meter is jumping on the deck. On playback, it's flat. I get...

any problems with linking xlr out (from stereo buss) on the unbalanced allen & heath system 8 directly to RCA analog in's on the HHB 830 Burnit? Both would be unbalanced, right? I'd think it should be fine. Thanks in advance- Chris

What is the brand/numerical equivalent to Emtech 911 tape? Is it Ampex/Quantegy 499 or 456? Thanks in advance, Chris

I'm at a bit of a loss... Okay. I'm borrowing a Shure KSM 44 for some demo sessions; the console is an Allen & Heath System 8, analog 1/2" 8 track. All the instrument tracking is done and sounding great. So, tonight I plug in the 44, and start rolling some 'keeper' vocals. Without padding...

Man, anybody use one of these things? I've got one (got it on loan, option to buy for a grand from a friend who'd upgraded; it's a 24 channel, 8 buss w/meterbridge-VU's, baby!) I have to say I couldn't be more pleased with it sonically! I'm just wondering what, if any drawbacks any other system...

I'm doing some booking demos, and for a first time BEHIND the console, it's going very well. I've got an Allen & Heath System 8 24 channel 8 buss console and a Teac 80-8 1/2" 8 track. I can't tell you how pleased I am with the sound of this combo! But as I'm winding down on tracking, I have to...

So, a month or two ago, I picked up a Superlux PRA 218A for $25 on a whim. I tried it out a little bit in rehearsals, sounded okay, hadn't had an opportunity to really record any with it until this week. It rocks. If you want a pretty natural kick drum sound, not overly hyped, not boomy, not...

Reason being, I had like $30 in my paypal account. So picked up a Superlux 218A for $25. haven't had a chance to use it yet; anybody fool around with one? I figured I'd find a use for it somewhere. Chris

I sniped it for $75 on ebay...impulse buy. Am I going to be sorry? I already have an RNC, was hoping the Symetrix could handle either kick or bass... Someone I know suggested there's an easy 'chip' upgrade? Anybody know anything about that? Thanks, Chris

Yet another budget mic thread-I know, I know. I rarely post here, but I lurk a lot. I'm on real limited funds; in fact, I've sort of overspent already at the moment. Just for reference: I'm recording some demos for pre-production for an upcoming album and also doing some booking demos for a...

Some of this scenario is mics and placement, some other gear, but here's the problem, the tools you have to work with, and the room you're working in. This is a real world challenge facing yours truly this week as I begin recording. You're recording set-up allows for 8 channels of simultaneous...

I just did the ultimate no-no and ordered a pair, sight unseen. I figured, what the hell, even if they're just fair, they'll be worth the $300. I've got access to some nice mics, but they're all large diaphragm; I wanted a pair of smallies to work with too. I have a pair of Neumann TLM103's...

Ok. I'm a relative newbie when it comes to handling all the recording myself, but have recorded several CD's in various different studios ranging from crappy to excellent. This is my first foray into doing it myself, and I've run into my first snag: I've got a MOTU 896 w/ Digital Performer 3...
