    That thin layer of foam

    I've noticed that most, if not all, of my dynamic mics have this. I'm talking about that foam that's stuck to the inside against the wire mesh that you can see if you unscrew it and look inside. Is it simply a windscreen? Added to muffle the high frequencies? What would happen if, say, I...

    Mixing/Mastering?

    What do you do when you have a song where the bass guitar is playing at the same frequency(hz) as one of the toms on the drums? So, every time the drummer hits that tom while the bass is playing the same note, it clips the mix, while other times they don't play at the same time, it sounds...

    New board

    Here's the deal. I want get a new audio interface for my computer. I currently have a external 2 I/O and want to upgrade. I am looking for something that I could record seperate tracks for a 4 piece band and still send all the signals to the band's PA system (like a 10 I/O). I would like...
