    Drum Reverb

    I dont have the best sounding room so I don't use room mics. Ive been using waves reverbs either the Truverb or Renaisance (is that spelling right). Since its hard to A/B between different setups, does anyone have any advice? Should I run the whole set through the reverb or maybe leave out...

    Noisy monitors!

    I have a pair of HR 624's running out of the monitor outs on my 002. Everything including the computer is getting its power from a Monster 3500 Power supply plugged into a grounded outlet. (The Monster helped but it is still bad). The monitors seem to mimic the sound of the computer (G5) ie...

    Best to stay digital?

    I currently have to use the analog outs of my liquid channel preamp (using an XLR-TRS cable) into the analog ins on my digi002. This means the signal goes A/d D/A A/D into my computer (not to mention D/A again when the music is taken out). The alesis AI-4 ($400) has AES ins and optical outs...

    Mic Pre's for drums

    I currently have 2 focusrite liquid channels which are my main pre-amps and will probably use them for most applications. I have been using a Presonus Digimax (8 channel pre) for drums.

    Problems with Reamping

    I love the concept of reamping because I do not have a seperate control room and studio. So I like to record a dry signal straight in with a simulator for an appropriate sound. Then Crank up the amp and mic it. Unfortunately I get a ton of noise as soon as I run a line out of my Digi002 into...

    Toms-SM57, D2s or other

    Im looking for some mics for toms preferably under 200 each but im open for suggestions. I recently compared Audio Technicas D2's to sm 57s on toms.

    DI Boxes

    I just need some clarification. A DI box isn't necessary if the preamp has a 1/4 inch line in right? Also, I should still run the output of the DI box through my high end preamp insted of directly into my Digi002, correct? Any reccomendations for a high end DI box? 400-800 range. Right now...

    Monster Vs. Mogami

    Is one any better than the other? Im especially interested in the high end microphone cable compaisons ie between Monsters SP1000 series and Mogami's Gold Series. Are monster cables worth the price (about twice as much as mogami at Musiciansfriend.com). I dont want to sacrifice sound quality...

    Melodyne Software

    I've heard this blows Autotune out of the water. I've seen the demo and it looks pretty amazing. Has anybody used it in conjuction with Pro-tools or otherwise. Does it live up to its claims?

    What mics (and pres) were used on Metallica's Black album?

    Anybody know what gear was mainly used on Metallica's black album. I think it is the best sounding metal album ever. I know that its the people that matter as well, but with the right gear you have one less excuse. Thanks!
