I'm planning on making a Battery drum kit featuring samples of various Brazilian instruments that I own: Surdo (bass drum), Cuica (think straw and lid), Berimbau (like a bow with a metal string and a resonator), Pandeiro (tambourine), Caixa (tribal shaker), and an Egg Shaker. I would like some...

Does anyone use this combo? I can't figure out how to record 24 bit audio. I can record 24 bit on other progs like n-track, but can't get it to work in Magix. I would just switch programs, but I can't afford Sonar right now and I don't like any of the other "cheaper" programs. Any ideas on the...

This mic looks kinda interesting. The frequency response chart looks pretty rugged, but it looks like it might "fill the niche" for certain occasions. Check it out> http://www.shure.com/pdf/discontinued/516eq.pdf I'd never heard of it until yesterday, so I know nothing of it. Does anyone else?

BTW, I've read the faqs, including Harvey's awesome post :) I'm in the market to get a LD condenser mic. I would primarily be using it to record vocals for bossa nova music (soft and whispery vocals). It needs to be pretty hot to get clean tracks on quiet parts. Clarity and high freq...

I'm in the market for an internal hard drive for music recording and I would like some suggestions. I'd like to stay around the $200 mark. Should I only be looking at 10K RPM models or is it not that big of a difference using 7200 RPM? Thanks!

Here's a mix I made of some recordings that my friend's band did. My friend plays bass and was hoping that I could mix a cd for him. I'm just interested in what ya'll think of my first pass at this one. I think it floats, but there are subtelties to work on...

First of all, how is the mix? This is for a friend of mine that plays bass in a jazz band. He wants me to mix a cd from some live recordings another friend did. Supposedly, this guy is becoming renowned for his live audio abilities (in Atlanta). But, I think that some parts are recorded poorly...

I would like some comments on this song regarding mixing and production. Any other comments/suggestions are welcome as well 8) I know the drum sucks, I'm getting a drummer to come and lay down some tracks, unless someone on here would care to...

I'm interested in trying some compansion with my plug-ins in Magix, but I'm not sure if I have the right settings. First of all, will compansion work if the compression and expansion are processed simultaneously as plug-ins. Also, what are some good settings for this. I'm looking to apply it to...

I just got this and am troubled to see that Magix sees the Q10 as 16 bit. Anyone else here experience this, or know how to remedy it. I'm running a P4 2.6 512ram XP. I tried another audio program with the Aardvark and it showed up as 16 bit as well.

I'm ready to get a good sound card. I'm running a P4 2.4ghz on an XP platform. My budget would peak at $800, but I'd like to spend less. The cards I'm looking at are: M-Audio Delta 10/10, Digidesign Digi 001, ST-Audio DSP3000, Echo Layla, Presonus Firestation 8-channel, Aardvark Aark 24, and...

I have been thinking of a great (IMHO) idea that could help us all. Maybe it is already out there, but what if there was a site where musicians could meet and exchange tracks to create a song. By this I mean that a drummer in Oakland could meet (online) a guitar player from Manhatten and they...

I was digging through some boxes and found a cable that is mystifying me. It is a 9 pin female at one end and a miniplug (1/8" stereo male) at the other end. Does anyone know what this cable is for? I don't know where it came from and can't quite figure it out. To me, it's obviously a serial...

Which is better, USB or PCI? Ok, I know it probably depends on lots of stuff, but what I'm looking for here is some input from experience or specs. In other words, would I be losing anything if I went with USB. All my recording experience thus far has been with PCI cards. My new computer has...

I own a dearmond jazz box and I want to replace the neck pickup with something less "sharp". Any ideas? I'd like to spend less than $300. I've heard that I can get a good combo going with the onboard dearmond pickup at the bridge and an old gibson pickup at the neck. Does anyone have any remote...

Does anyone master individual tracks before mixing, and then master the song? I am a newbie in recording/mixing, and I usually master each track before marrying. Is this commmon practice??? It seems commonplace to me, but who knows? I usually set every track at max vol. and compress/NR and then...

I've owned a behringer 6 channel mixer for the last 6 months and I love it. Why do I keep seeing people dissing it in threads? Is it not good for certain applications, or just inferior all around? Any responses are appreciated, fire away! Keith

I recently read an article (http://www.till.com/articles/PreampCable/) about a cable with a built in preamp. Does anyone know where to get one? It seems a little beyond my range of electronics knowledge to build one, but I would sure love to own one. Anybody want to build me one? Keith

Does anyone know of a company that will take your recorded tracks and mix/master them professionally? I ask because I would like to compare the results to my own mixing/mastering. Keith

Does anyone know a program/hardware that can record multiple inputs into seperate trax on the fly? If not, doesn't this sound juicy?
