(edit: I have a tendency to turn a simple question into a long overly-detailed story, my apologies in advance, skip to the last sentence to get the gist of my question) So I'm gearing up to record my drummer for the first time. Well, second time actually, but last time I just ran stereo outs...

Ok so I'm totally in the non-self-mastering camp here. When I was using Sonar 2.2 XL it had those two Timeworks mastering plug-ins and whenever I tried to use them to "master" my tracks (I know, much more to real mastering than simply EQ/compression) I'd only make things worse and lose the feel...

I've got an M-Audio Omni Studio and I'm planning to upgrade to a MOTU 828mkII in a few months and my plan was in addition to the built in pres to buy a DMP3 (which I figured would be a slight improvement over the Omni Studio, though possibly pretty similar, and I've heard the MOTU pres are "ok"...

So I'm doing a big reconfiguration of my DAW in a few months. Well, mainly I'm changing my interface, so here's the situation... I'm currently running an M-audio Omni Studio (delta 66 w/dmp2 based pres, etc) and an RNC. The only mics I have are a couple SM57s, AT4040 and a Behringer B2 which...

Hi, I'm using Sonar 4 PE and am working on a project and I had a really good mix going, loud enough w/o clipping, everything balanced, lots of space, but when I export it to a .wav file, it seems to get much quieter (on the same computer, same monitors, playing back the .wav) and generally...

I'm looking into upgrading my recording interface and wanted some feedback on what would be the best value vs what I have. I currently have the M-audio Omni Studio, which is basically a Delta66 card with a breakout box with a couple mic pres based on the DMP2 (but I'm sure you know that). People...

Haven't seen a lot in the archives about this mic, and a guy at the store I work at keeps insisting I should consider it over an SM58 for my backing vocal mic. It doesn't hurt that I can get it at a price a bit closer to an SM58 than the usual street price(otherwise I'd just save some cash and...

I recently joined a second band (my main instrument is guitar) and was planning on buying a vocal mic and stand so I could do backing vocals in one of the bands, but now it looks like I definitely need a mic for both bands. I was already looking for the best compromise between quality and not...

So I "rented" a Studio Projects C3 from the store I work at today so I could try one out, figuring I'd probably end up buying it before I need to bring it back. So I hooked it up to my M-Audio Omni Studio and wailed at it a bit. Afterwards I decided to do an A/B comparison with my only other...

I thought since I've posted a few "Which mic should I buy" thread that maybe I'd attempt to give something back by writing about my experience auditioning some mics at GC. Of course these are my experiences with my ears and my voice, so ymmv. First of all, the Guitar Center in Brookfield, WI...

So I've only heard this commented on once or twice, and doing a search didn't get me much, so I'm asking if anyone's ever A/Bed them or owned/auditioned both and can confirm whether the C1 and the C3's cardiod mode in fact are identical or at least close enough that the C3 would garner the same...

So I'm planning to get a SP C1 (followed shortly by an RNC), but in addition to trying to start a mic locker, I'm expecting it will probably be too harsh on some of my higher vocal parts (especially some very high head voice stuff, I record a lot of metal, progrock) so I'm planning to compliment...

So after some reading here on recommendations for "affordable" sturdy boom stands, it seemed the best bargain was the On Stage SB96+ for $80 which a lot of people recommended. But I checked 8th street and now there's only the SB9600 for $89. The SB96+ is still on On Stage's website, and I see...

Ok I haven't posted on this until now because I didn't want to post another "Best mic in my price range" thing but now its become a different sort of question I have after a LOT of search/reading on this forum. I'm looking to start building a mic cabinet, starting with a good vocal mic (or...

I have an M-Audio OmniStudio and I was planning on buying a DMP3 pre and FMR Audio RNC, but since I've heard the DMP3 wouldn't be a worthwhile upgrade from the Omni's pres, I'm thinking about holding off on upgrading my pres and just getting the RNC first. So with the DMP3 the signal chain...

I've been searching for info on this and have found a couple conflicting responses, which is why I decided to post with a little info on my specific situation. Otherwise I'd avoid a potentially repetetive n00b post at all costs. I have the M-Audio Omni Studio I was just about ready to buy a...
