    Trombone Solo with Sennheiser e604

    I intend this post to be an example of a recording with an e604 (and a VTB-1 preamp). I just got this mic and I just was given a solo in my school symphonic band. We're going to disney world and I will be soloing this bad boy there. The song is called "Just a Closer Walk With Thee." Tell me...

    Bad mixing or bad mic?

    Here is a reason'ed up midi plus me singing. I know my voice isn't perfect, but I think it's decent...enough. I don't exactly like how my voice sits in the mix, and I'm wondering do you think I'm not mixing right or do you think my mic ain't good enough. (Or do you like what you hear?) I used...

    Dark Metal tips

    http://www.mazik.net/tipsplz.mp3 I recorded a friend's band and here is a clip. The bass drum is weak, we used a crappy dynamic, I'm aware of that major flaw. Otherwise, I'm just looking for some general tips/comments.

    Mic Impedance

    What should I set my VTB-1's impedance to? 200 or 50 ohms? I'm using a LDC mic.

    VTB-1 vs. Avalon 737

    http://www.audiopimps.net/reviews/studio-projects-vtb1-avalon-737.php Has anyone heard the samples? 003 is the avalon and 004 is the VTB-1 (If you can't tell). The avalon does sound better to me, but not *that* much better. I'm getting my VTB-1 tomorrow, should be schweet.

    C-Media Distortion

    I have an integrated C-Media chip soundcard. For recording, it IS better quality than my sound blaster live, no one argue cause it really is. My soundcard has a built in limiter, so there is no clipping, but there is distortion when it hits 0.0. My understanding of a line-in port, is that the...

    Good vocal effects processor?

    I'm looking for a hardware vocal effects processor that will give me a sound like from bands such as: aqua, toybox, etc. Hopefully you know what I mean. I've heard the effects referred to as voice filters. Like the female voice is pure stereo bliss, and I'm wondering what units can produce...

    Set-up Compressor on aux

    I have a Samson Mixpad 9 and a Presonus Bluemax Compressor. As far as I can tell, my mixer does not have "inserts," so I am forced to use aux send and returns? So, what would the cabling be for a "compressor on aux" setup? My compressor has a side-chain port, but that's for inserts right...

    Non-condenser mic on phantom power

    I just got a Samson Mixpad 9, and supposedly it has phantom power on all the time, so can I use dynamic (non condenser) mics? I've gotten myself a bit worried here. (Although I only have 1 mic right now :))

    Mic Preamp or Mixer

    I was originally looking for a mic preamp, most likely the audio buddy, but then I saw some soundcraft mixers on ebay for about the same price as an audio buddy!?! Specifically the "Soundcraft Spirit Folio Notepad Mixer." It's more than plenty for my purposes, so I'm wondering how's the...

    Connect Audio Buddy to Computer

    I only have a mediocre mic right now, but it has a converter to 1/4" so I could put that to the Audio Buddy, and then I think I'll need a cable that has dual 1/4" connectors on one end then one 1/8" connector on the other end. Now is this the right cable...

    Best mic for vocals direct to computer

    I am amazed at the prices of some mics I've been reading about on these forums, as about 2 years ago I bought a $35 mic, and I thought that was lot. :D It's a Sony F-V420. I don't have a fancy schmancy sound board, I just have a $25 5.1 Creative sound card, and I do basic vocal recording...
