YES! http://namm.harmony-central.com/WNAMM06/Content/Sony/PR/ACID-Pro-6.html Thoughts?

I'm not sure what gear, or what combination of gear would be needed to accomplish this but, I am part of a gothic/down-tempo band that has alot of samples and soundscapes through our music. (http://www.myspace.com/apikorism) The problem is, there are so many samples and things going on, that...

I've been using drumagog at a friends house and was really impressed with how well it tracked. I'm curious, how good are the samples that come with it? I'm looking for that current-metal sound that everyone rags on, but hey, it's what I do. Clicky bass drums, tight snares, pretty deep toms. I'm...

Anyone have any suggestions on what are some decent stands that won't break my wallet? I'm looking at 4 or 5 to be used when mic'ing drums (overheads, toms, snare, close mic'ed cymbals) and when mic'ing guitar cabs, so it would have to be able to extend for OH's.

I posted this in the drum section and really didn't get much insight. I have a pair of MXL LDC that I plan on using on a kit for overheads. I've read about x/y and similar ways of using sdc I think this would give me a good image of the kit. My question is, how does one set up LDC's in x/y? The...

I've read alot on mic placement for overheads, but almost everything is using SDC (especially x/y). Does anyone have any tips for using a pair of LDC for overheads? And how would I set them up for x/y? Also, if anyone has any pics that show LDC being used as overheads, please post. I learn...

So here's my setup: I'm recording all my drums in Vegas. And then moving over to Acid where I do Overdubs and all my editing, mixing and apply plugins. Everything I record is in 24-bit/48khz. My question is, I'm going to be using CD Architech for assembley and burning, and was wondering, should...

Quick question. Would moving from a 34" scale bass to a 35" scale allow for lower tunning with tighter string action? I currently own a 34" scale 4-string bass and I'm wanting to go to a 5-string tunning withouth the high string (B-E-A-D). I've looked at alot of 5 strings and any Baritone basses...

I had this in the newbies section, but thought I'd catch more firepod owners here. Can this be done? I'm going to be recording some live practices tonight and the band wants me to run the kick and vocals to the PA (it actually doesn't pick too much up on the OH). Of course I want to come OUT of...

In the writting process, the band likes to jam in the same room and just have me record the jam session through the firepod (that way they can solo an instrument if they forget something). However, they like certain things in the recording to be fed into the PA (like vocals). Is it possible to...

Lots of people swear on both side of the M-80/Sansamp, but I need to know from those who use it or have used it, is it the best route for METAL? Hard bitting distortion (ala Marilyn Manson), tight eq, and a DI are things I'm looking for and I'm stuck between the two and unfortently, my GC...

So I took the plunge into the bass world, and from being a guitarist prior, I feel like there are some aspects of bass that I'm clueless about. Hopefully you bass players can give me some answers or tips to make the trasition easier. I played guitar in a screamo/metal band for about 4 years, and...

Okay, I'm a little confused here. I know the firepod has built in preamps, but when I was browsing PreSonus' site, I came across this... http://www.presonus.com/pdf/adl_hookup-2mics.pdf It's an ad for a new 2-ch preamp of theirs and I see they have it routed back to the firepod for recording I...

My band currently practices and have done some recording in the basement of our guitarist's house. The room is about 12' W x 14' L with about 8' high ceilings. The door to the room is on the south side (which runs longways), and when you enter, the first 1 and a 1/2 or so feet of the ceiling is...

Not sure if thing exists, but is there any sort of software, or plugin that will allow me to trigger a sample? Basically, I'm running the firepod and get just the kick track. I can set the noise gate so that only the kick is played and thought there might be some way of triggering a sample to...

Hopefully this in the right spot. Anywho, I'm getting ready to start recording the metal project in which I play bass. When the band formed a few months ago, we orginally had 2 guitarists. Since then, we've dropped down to just the one. We are really enjoying the freedom in not having another...

I currently am playing in a band that is drop C, and of course taking a normal set of strings down a whole set from Drop D is going to cause some serious loosness. I've tried a set of GHS Boomers where the lowest string is .115 and It's doing much better, but I'm thinking it could stand to be a...

Just curious as to if there are any of you with a set of impulses other than those that came bundled with acoustic mirror. The set I have came with these microphone models that are pretty cool if used right, but i'm really looking for some nice reverbs and such. This would be mainly for vocals...

Just a quick question. My band is getting ready to record a small 3 song EP to distribute locally and while we are tight on budget, I'm trying to get an idea of what mics to use. We orginally had a SM58 that we used for vocals live. And in a earlier thread, someone told me that the 57 and 58...

I'm about to start recording my band here pretty soon. I'm going to be running 8 mics into the firepod, probley in this set up 1 Kick (internal, about 6" from beater) 2 Snare (about 4" inches above rim, pointed slightly off center, away from hats) 3 Hi-Tom (all toms about about 3" above rim...
