    Please help my poor neighbors!

    Well, I've found myself in a new situation. I'm going to be moving my studio into a small (2-300 sq. ft.) commercial office space in New York City. Now, even though most of our recording work will be done after hours (6pm on) I am concerned that we will not be able to freely 'blast' our music as...

    Latency is tripping up the vocalist!

    I am using an emagic Audiowerk2 card with Logic 4.8.1 Platunum and/or Digital Performer 3 on an early model G4. When monitoring his/her vocals through Logic or DP there is a slight delay(maybe 8 or 10 milliseconds). it's noticeable and the vocalists are having a lot of trouble giving their best...

    Communicating With the Booth!

    GOD it feels good to have a support group to go to for these burning dilemmas. I used to have a nice recording set-up until last weekend when every home recordist's nightmare came true,...my studio got robbed. Now all I have to work with is a Mackie 1202vlz and my G4 Mac (thank god). I'm using...

    Triton/Karma Soft Synths?

    Are there any soft synths out there that are basically virtual versions of the Triton or Karma or the new Roland Fantom? I'm looking for a VST instrument that's loaded with great preset sounds like these keyboards are (rather than one where I need to construct my own sounds). Any suggestions...

    So what's a couple thousand bucks amongst tube compressors???

    Alright my friends, I want the brutal truth don't hold back. What's the difference between a SUPER-budget compressor like an ART Tube ($100) and something like a $1700 Summit Audio TLA-100A? Is it honestly a dollar-for-dollar case of 'you get what you pay for' or will the cheap guy hold its own...

    Wimpy G4 soundcard?

    I'd like to start running 'Reason' (new sound program) on my late model G4. My question? Well, is the internal stock soundcard sufficient to work with in my home studio (right out of the mini jack with some high quality cables)? One thing I noticed while doing this is that the output level...

    Studio Monitor treatment.

    The Event 20/20 PS8 studio monitors. They sure is swell! My questions are simple. How do I treat the twins right? Is it recommended to use them right side up or on their sides (tweeters on the inside)? Also, They have two inputs on the back (XLR and 1/4"). If I plug a Digital multi-track into...
