I have a Soundcraft Spirit F1 mixing board. It provides phantom power for condenser mics but it's either on for the full board or off, in other words, it can't be assigned to individual channels. I use condenser mics for acoustic guitar and I have a Shure SM58 for vocals. If I switch on phantom...

I got them from www.equipmentcenter.de for 300 euro shipped. Best price I could find by far. I hooked them up earlier on and I'm having a ball with them. Listened to some of my own mixes, and -- ouch! These are going to help me out a lot, as indeed they were intended to do. Then listened to...

I'm after a pair of sound-isolating ear-plug headphones for my iPod and have read very good reviews of the Etymotic Research headphones: http://www.etymotic.com/ There are several types, the top of the range being the ER4P MicroPro. There is an optional cable that changes these from ER4P into...

Before I rush out and order active monitors, I'm wondering where they would go in my chain and whether passives would be better. I have a MindPrint Di-Port which has monitor-out phono sockets. My Terratec EWX 2496 soundcard also has phono socket monitor outs. The signal is digitised at the...

I'm after a pair of the coveted Wharfedale Diamond Pro 8.2 monitors and wondered if someone could give me details of an online dealer in Europe. UK is fine, or BeNeLux France or Germany would keep shipping down. Thanks Jock

I have a Terratec EWX 2496 soundcard and am using WinXP Pro. I plugged in a pair of Cambridge Soundworks satellite speakers directly to the phono output sockets of the soundcard but got no sound. On my old system, I used these speakers as part of the Cambridge DeskTop Theater 5.1 DTT2200 set...

I use Adobe Audition 1.0 a lot for recording guitar and vocals, and figured it's time I learned how to discern whether my recordings are clipping and, if so, how to fix them. I'm working on another song that I've just recorded and have taken a screenshot to show the wave file. Link to...

My set up is a Di-Port going into a Terratec EWX 24/96 soundcard. The Di-Port only supports 44.1/48Khz so I've set it as master and the soundcard as slave. The soundcard's control panel correctly shows that it's synchronised at 48khz. The Di-Port works at 24-bits and so does the soundcard...

I have a Sony MZ-R91 MD Recorder and wish to record guitar gatherings. I'm hopefully going to attend a one-week acoustic blues course in August and am signed up for a UK gathering of rec.music.makers.guitar.acoustic regulars. I would like to record both of these events, and any future events...

In my research for a front-end incorporating preamps, phantom power and a/d conversion, I've come across numerous products. One of these is Mindprint's Di-Port, which just happens to be the most readily availalbe and affordable for my needs. I've already posted about that though so I shan't...

These coveted mics seem pretty thin on the European ground and I wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction. I'm looking for a matched pair - can anyone help? Yous hopefully, Jock

I've been doing some digging on the Di-Port around here and rec.audio.pro and it seems that the preamps are really very good. Does anyone know how these pres compare with those in the Aardvark Pro 24/96? There doesn't seem to be as much info on the board so I thought I'd ask directly. Any other...

I'm looking to buy a mic / mics to record acoustic guitar and vocals - what's the best way to go about this? My budget could stretch to an Audio-Technica AT 3035 for the moment, would that be a good starting point? I could then at some later stage add another condenser mic for the guitar to...

Hope I'm in the right forum. I'm setting up a recording studio for recording guitar to PC and have a couple of Qs about the mixers I saw today - do I post here, the guitar place or the PC recording place? I want to record acoustic guitar and vocals to PC with no effects. I have a Soundblaster...

I've got a basic idea of what I need to record acoustic guitar and vocals to PC but am looking for some advice on products. First off, here's my current equipment: Soundblaster Live! 5.1 soundcard with 1/4" line in on front Cool Edit Pro 2 I know that I'll need a mixer board and...
