Like everyone is saying, if you're getting water into the basement you've already lost. Applying a DryLok or Killz to the interior wall will only help partially. The biggest issue is the accumulation of water underground near the exterior wall of the basement. Water will flow downhill and find a...

thanks guys. especially noisedude. i've been around here for a couple years but took a break for a couple months. thanks for offering your experiences so i didn't have to ask a question. my interface (Firepod) was stolen over the summer and so i've been looking to replace it. The Alesis caught...

i got mine in their nice pretty boxes. i won't get to try them out till later this week. i'm really looking forward to it. thanks chance. you da man!

i have a pair of the small diaphrams. they do really well on upright piano and acoustic guitar.

what effects are you using on the show? if it is completely dry then you can use the aux sends as feeds to your recorder. another option is to build some insert bypass cables. - take a trs cable and remove one jack. - when you resolder the jack you will have 2 solder points on the tip(send)...

i've mic'ed my upright and gotten great sounds out of it. but i prefer upright to grand just because it fits my music better. i'm using it in a rock mix. there is definitely a distinct difference between the sound of upright and grand (although i've never recorded a grand). if you need that...

tape path is clean and heads are demagnetized. i'm using brand new quantegy 499. the inputs show plenty of signal but the left channel either doesn't record or doesn't playback. i'm not sure how to check which one without a test tape. the right channel works fine. i have a software oscilloscope...

i play with in-ears all the time. my favorite transmitters are the sennheiser ew300 series. they give you a lot of options like selecting frequencies. the shure models are fairly nice as well but they don't have the options that the sennheisers have. and the shure's have larger bodypacks. for...

at this point its just one problem. i'm hoping its not 32 of them. i'm just getting started in this analog world so i'm trying to learn. so, i just got my tascam model 32. i was eager to test it out. it only has -10dB inputs so i connected to the RCA outputs of my DAW. When i monitor the inputs...

digital decks? well, you can get a Yamaha O1v for less than 5k. But if you're recording onto your computer then you really only need the mixer for its preamps. in that case i would go with a soundcraft or allen and heath

it would be very helpful to have a frequency response graph with your mic. That way you can compare the frequencies you collect with the mic's personal response. subtract the mic's response from your measurements and you'll get the actual response of your room. my superlux ECM-999 came with an...

exactly! are we all forgetting that recording is at least a 4 step process? 1: playing 2: tracking 3: mixing 4: mastering i don't think the best decision would be the L3 or an ME. I think a far more productive tool would be to spend some time reading about tracking and mixing. read about the...

if you put any makeup gain with the compressor it will probably feedback. i built a vocal pedal board for myself in which i run my microphone through boss eq (midboost with everything else cut) and electroharmonix reverb stompboxes. i tried using a blues driver in there as well but ran into...

the buzz is probably from a ground loop. you might just have to plug your laptop into a different wall outlet. the combination of monitors, firepod and laptop can get weird ground hums. so just fool around with plugging them into different outlets until its minimized. or just record with the...

i'm just getting into recording to analog tape. so i'm starting out with a tascam 32-2. i'm still tracking digitally with a presonus firepod but i want to be able to mixdown to a 2-track tape rather than bouncing down in Logic. so, should i just turn down the master output volume on my firepod...

i skimmed through the threads and couldn't find much about this. I know that inputs are either RCA (-10) or XLR (+4), but what are the pros and cons of each and what is the easiest way to convert from XLR to RCA (i'm buying a tape machine with RCA ins).

with the number of us buying i don't think air is out of the question. 40 bucks for shipping to get the mics a month earlier is fine with me. i'm willing to go air. i also think getting the entire shipment completed as quickly as possible will result in lesser chance of forgetfulness on...

I've been recording digitally for a few years now but would like to get into analog. Now i've been reading and doing a little bit of research for the past few weeks. However, i can't quite find the difference between the tascam 32-2 and 22-2. i know the 32 takes 10.5" reels and the 22 takes 7"...
