I’m about to buy a crown for my mic collection. I went to Guitar Center with my mic pre (M-Audio DMP3), a set of headphones, and my MXL V67G to use as a reference mic. My goal was to audition mics and then buy one,of course. My main desire is a mic that can record my vocals well and maybe my...

I bought a used Roland GR-33 guitar synth and a Roland-ready Strat on eBay and I’m having difficulties with the GR-33. While I am playing it seems to fire wrong notes randomly. Usually it is a very high-pitched note. I am confident it’s not my technique because a random note fired just after...

Although I would not consider myself a big fan of poll threads, I have been reading many threads here where the question is posed: “Which single mic would you recommend?” or What’s the best mic for a newbie? or What’s the best mic for under $800? …Etc. So I am gathering info before I...

Please forgive me if this is a question answered many times before: Why do studios use wood flooring? I am about to build a studio in my basement. It is totally unfinished so I have nothing but a clean slate to work with. As far as flooring goes, my wife suggested hard wood floors because...

I just received today two purchases that I acquired through ebay (and coincidently they were from two different sellers from two different coasts of the US and they were just delivered from the same Fed Ex truck). They are a: Fender Mexican-made Roland-Ready Strat and a Roland GR33. Although I...

I purchased a Behringer Ultragain Pro Mic 2200 dual mono tube mic pre about two years ago. I remember reading somewhere that you can greatly improve the sound of the mic pre by replacing the tube with a better quality tube. Do you agree with this and what would you suggest for an improvement...

I was just on ebay and I found a VS880 with the effects card and CD burner for the asking price is $335!! I paid $1800 for mine and an additional $500 for the CD burner back in 1998. I very much enjoy depreciation when it’s in my favour but it pisses me off when I think of all the loot I...

I am experiencing difficulties getting audio to playback without sputters, stutters, and stops. I also notice the CPU meter redlines frequently (many CPU warnings) with the occasional drop out. Cakewalk frequently drops out during recording. I have ran the Wave Profiler many times but to no...

I am losing my mind. I have tried every setting in the manual and I can't get the VS880 to accept MTC from Cakewalk. I believe I have all the parameters set correctly, I push play on the VS880 and it waits for MTC. I push record on Cakewalk and the VS880's MIDI/DISK light starts flashing but...

I am quite happy with the drum patterns on the SR-16 but where can I find more? I am a bass and guitar player who doesn’t know much about drumming and creating drum patterns. I have relied heavily on the internal patterns that come with the SR-16 but I want more to choose from. Does anyone...

I just received my new M Audio Delta 10/10LT PCI card. But its own software can’t locate the card. I’m running Windows 2000 on a PIII 800MHz with 1024MB of RAM. I just downloaded the latest drivers and that didn’t work. I have reinstalled many times, each time uninstalling the drivers and...

I currently have two RODE NT1s (large diaphragms) going into a Behringer Ultragain Pro 2200 stereo mic pre. My budget is not that big (as you can tell by my gear). My dream is to get close to that Led Zeppelin III sound but I just can’t get that tone. I have a Norman 6-string and a Taylor...

Readers, My wife has given me permission to build a recording studio in my completely unfinished basement. I am a hobby songwriter/musician/recording engineer/producer/…etc. I’ll be using a little less than ½ of the basement. Pictures to follow soon. The portion of the basement I’ve...
