My vocals that I have been recording are sounding extremely bright compared to the rest of my mix. (old cheap AKG basic vocal dynamic mic being used). I'm not terribly experienced with using EQ, and wanted to know what I should be doing to make it sound more "dull" to fit into the mix better...

I just got an Imac G5 2.0Ghz system (with 20" monitor woo hoo) I used to work with ProTools on my windows laptop, I used a USB2.0 external drive for an audio drive which seemed to work fine, however, I was using an Mbox with only up to two inputs, and my full projects have only been around 15...

Here's my situation: I am using an MBox with a laptop computer. The laptop has only two usb ports, and one firewire port. I have an external USB hard drive that I use to record to, and everything works fine, no latency, hiccups etc.. My laptop does not have a PS/2 port for a mouse, so when I do...

I have for auction an M-Audio DMP3 preamp with only about 5 hours left. Only lightly used and about 1 year old, it is like new. Postage is included in the auction price, insurance extra. Thanks for looking. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7319701395

Hello, Once you've burned a CD to be a master (or pre-master I suppose for the factory), is there a way to test it to see how many errors there are? I have an older CD-writer, and I don't know how to do this. I have both Easy CD-creater 4, and CD Architect 5, but I think only the latter can...

Hello, someone recommended that I register songs so that a record company would have to pay me "mechanicals". Does anyone know what this means and how I go about it? I am in Canada. Thanks.

Dumb question here, I've recently acquired the following devices, and need to buy enough cables to cable them together properly, and I don't know the difference between a balanced or unbalanced cable. All I've ever normally used in the past is the usual instrument cables. DMP3 preamp -> RNC...

I'm using a DMP3 into the MR-8. Should I be using the gains on the MR-8 at all, or should they be turned down to 0? This doesn't seem an issue with condenser mics, but with the dynamic (an old AKG), I have to crank up the DMP3 pretty hard to get a loud signal, and sometimes use the MR-8 gain...

I'm thinking of getting the MR-8 for recording away from my computer, then porting over the tracks to my computer for the actual mixing. Is there any difference in recording quality betwen the MR-8, VF80, VF160 an upwards etc....??? or is the end result the same, but the higher end ones come...

I asked on here a number of weeks ago about an old discontinued microphone I had lying around, an AKG D70ME. Someone had told me it would be similar to a Shure SM57. Here are the stated freq. response for each: Shure SM57: 40-15,000 AKG DM70 : 150-16,000 According to the AKG site, and from...

I've got a USB M-Audio MobilePre coming that will be going into my laptop. It has three types of inputs: - XLR microphone input - 1/8" stereo desktop microphone input - 1/4" Instrument/line input (1/4” balanced) Now, I have an old AKG dynamic mic, that came with an XLR -> 1/8" cable. Should I...

Has anyone in Canada who has had their CD's duplicated (CDR) in the U.S. and them shipped back to Canada? I'm thinking of using Diskfaktory, since they are the best prices by far that I've found and the product looks good, but I am wondering how much I am going to get dinged by customs at the...

Hope this isn't too much of a stupid question, but I'm having trouble finding some decent quality 74 min. CDRs to record a 'master' for duplication purposes. I went to Best Buy and Future Shop (Canada), and all they sell is cheapo 80min CD's. And from experience I've found that the 80min ones...

We found this old microphone at a friend's house, but I can't find any information on it. It's an AKG D70 ME (Austria). Can anyone tell me what kind of mic this is and if its any good? The product info for this discontinued item on the AKG site is in German.... Not sure if it needs some...

I currently record some demo stuff to my laptop through a simple PC microphone. (don't laugh!) I want to upgrade my setup by adding a MR-8 so that I can record on that, then transfer the tracks to my laptop for editing. (My laptop does not have a line-in jack, and the sound card is cheapo...
