I ran a search for this expectingt to find out all, and got very little. So ill ask for myself!! What do people think of them? Im planning on using a pair for overheads, acoustic guitar for now and other instruments ill be need a condenser for, e.g clarinet. I have every intention of buying a...

Im using a 8 in / 8 out firewire card (Edirol FA 101). I need to connect a mixer up to it as only the first 2 input channels have pres. What im wondering is if i can conect it up via the send part of an insert point - or do i need the desk to have direct outs on each channel? i ask because if i...

Im working on a project at the moment that will have an acoustic bass. NOT a double bass, but a standard acoustic one! Ive have plenty of mics avalible to me - c414, nt1x2, nt2, nt3 x2, 57x3 d112x1 and some others. I intend to use a DI out from the bass - and a body and neck mic. I was...

I just spent the last few days recording a metal band. Im good friends with the band so it of no cost to them. But now the mixdown time has arrived i feel in need of a few tips. I mostly play and record acoustic music, so this is all new for me. The band use the regular chainsaw distortion...

Bassically i use a imac. g5, with logic express 7, and an edirol fa 101. Id like to be able to use some outboard effects and processors with this system, but without mixing on a external mixer. so bassically i want to send my signal to the prossesor, and back to the computer, ideally through the...

Bassically, what the difference between Peak and RMS compression, and were is it better to use one over the other?

Ok, so im bringing a recording project to a close (my own songs). The recordings have gone well and now im looking ahead to mixdown. Id like to use some multiband compression on the bass, mainly to play around with using it, and learn how its done and party because i think the bass will thank me...

Ive found myself having this problem whilst recording my latest EP, which im aiming to be of very high record quality. I find that on some e.guitar overdubs, when i play part that dies out e.g - stum and chord and leave it to ring out. - as the guitar sound drops, the amps hum slowly becomes...

I tend to record a lot of my electric guitars DI, then send that to my amp later. This is a new thing for me, but i find it to be much more practical for me. This way i can get the performance im happy with before cranking up the amp, it also alows be to play around with mic possition etc...

Just a simple question about patching. Bassically i just want to check im doing this right! Ill be using a patchbay with switchable modes so its easy to alter anything in future. -to patch my insert points ill need the patchbay to be normalized? -to patch my soundcard ins out it wants to me...

So im looking for a mixer with a wide range of ins, outs etc. Being a student, studying music, i have no real money but need my gear to be of a standard. It will be used mainly in my recording chain - hooked up to a Edirol FA 101. But it will also follow me around at gigs. The MG 16/4 fits my...

Can someone offer any suggestions of 8 channel mixers, with xlr ins on all channels, and insert sends on all channels. I want it for use with my firewire card. Cheers.

I notice a lot of people always suggesting to people to get a pre, no matter what mic, room, instruments there working with. My weakness in signal chain is the lack of a good LDC. I use a nice firewire 10/10 card with 'get-byable' pre's and will now spend as much as i can scrape togeather on a...

I was looking around on shures web site the other day and noticed that these two mics appear to be 100% identical. There both super cardioid dynamics, with a frequency responce of 50 - 16,000 Hz, both have a mesh and both have the same Frequency response graph. And yet the 57's uses list is 3...

Right so heres the deal, the desk i've been working on doesnt have phase reversal function. The desk is a 24 track soundscraft spirit dest. I asked a tech how i could go about micing up the bottom of the snare, and he told me to make up a cable where pin 3 goes to pin 2 and 2 to 3! So could...
