    Stripping Down Mic Collection

    Been thinking about stripping down my mic collection. I've moved from a huge PC rig with lots of inputs and pres to a laptop with 4 inputs. I used to do a lot of recording of my bands' rehearsals, but now I'm not in one and I feel like having a dozen mics is too much. Here's what I've got...

    DIY Monitors - Yea or Nay?

    No clue where this thread should go, but I'm considering building a pair of 2-way passive monitors due to my inability to find something I like for under $1000. I've got plenty of soldering and audio experience, and after noticing the poor quality of drivers in prosumer nearfields, I figure I...

    Bus compression versus track compression

    Alright, either I'm a really good drummer or I have no clue what I'm doing. I find that on my latest project, at least on the drums, I don't like compression on any of the tracks. And it's pretty edgy/aggressive rock stuff. I find the best results are from EQ'ing the tracks so they fit...

    Mixes on my BX8's don't translate at all!

    I've had these monitors for a year and I just can't seem to get a decent mix out of them. Granted I haven't had a ton of experiences with monitor speakers, but I just can't get decent mixes out of them. They always end up sounding really loud in the sub bass, muddy in the low end, and rolled...

    Firewire Interface for MacBook / Logic

    Alright, I'm making the switch from PC to Mac, would like to know a couple things. First, is the onboard sound card serviceable? Is it going to be noisy and distorted or relatively clean? Second, any recommendations for Firewire audio interfaces that work well with Core Audio? I'd like to...

    Practice Room Layout

    Hello, I'm looking for advice on how to best set up a practice room. Right now, my band is playing in my basement, which is kind of long and narrow. I know the room is not optimal (especially since half the walls are unfinished fiberglass and the other half are painted concrete brick), but...

    Former Geek Squad Agent’s Guide to Windows and Viruses/Spyware

    New stickies / new FAQs?

    What do you guys think about updating the FAQs and maybe making a couple new stickies? Kind of like how the Ethan Winer board has a "READ ME FIRST" with TONS of basic information? I've read through the FAQ, and it does seem somewhat lacking. There aren't many examples of miking techniques or...

    New Mastering Contest

    Well, I'll pre-emptively duck and cover from the storm that's going to come about from this. But I think it'd be fun to have a mastering contest. Part of the fun of these PMC's is that you get to hear the difference between people who are experienced and those who aren't. You can hear common...

    Gate Plugin?

    Hello, I'm looking for a good gate plugin that has adjustable lookahead. Anybody have any ideas? I'm using Cubase, so something in DirectX or VST would work great. Thanks!

    Sennheiser MD421 versus Audio Technica ATM25

    So who has used both and what do you think? I was reading the latest issue of Modern Drummer, and an engineer said that he uses them interchangably on toms. In fact, he used them on all the toms on the latest Disturbed album (haven't heard it so I can't say whether it worked or not). I...

    Audix D6 for screaming vocals?

    Alright, need a new thread for this one. And yes, I did search, and most posts are related to bashing screamo and not really getting to the question. I'm thinking about selling my D112 (sick of the basketball sound on kick), but after recording my singer and trying an SM57, Peavey PVM45, Beyer...

    So my Rode NT2 is getting old...

    I've been using this mic for a few years for male vocals. It sounds pretty good on everything, but it has this annoying midrange peak around 2.5kHz. I'm recording my new band's vocals, and I'm starting to think about getting a new vocal mic or replacing the NT2. I'd like some opinions as to...

    Just got some KRK ST6's

    Hi all, I just picked up a pair of KRK ST6's on a whim from Guitar Center. My first impression is that these things are incredibly muffled. Really nice bass and midbass response, but practically no highs at all. Anybody else found this? When I auditioned monitors, I really wanted to like...

    Bright monitors, BX8's, and passives...

    Okay, so I didn't want to hijack the other thread but I have some questions. If you want to skip to the point, just read the last paragraph :) I need a pair of monitors for my bedroom studio. I was thinking BX5's becuase they come so highly recommended and they're at closeout prices lots of...
