I've recently built a new computer, and am using an Echo Audiofire12 as the interface, and Reaper as the software. System specs are: Core2Duo Quad 2.66 Asus P5Q Nvidia GTS 250 4gig ram Vista 64-bit The Audiofire works perfectly for output, either by Windows, or Reaper, and I can happily use...

I'm looking for a reasonably inexpensive dual mic pre that can be mounted in a 19" rack for mobile recording. I'm not after cheap tubes - something solid state. Preferably not a wall wart. Two channels ONLY, with no EQ or compression. Any ideas? :confused:

I have a pair of Alesis Provenue 1201 speakers that have been fried, and am looking to use the enclosure, but replace the horn and woofer. It's a 12" woofer, and I have no idea about the horn yet. I'll start taking it apart tomorrow. What brands are highly regarded? What should I be looking out...

I've got some tracks together for a song with a band of mine, and done a rough mix (with tired ears after a day of playing), and am wondering if I'm headed in the right direction. I rarely record anything more than band rehearsals for the sake of working on songs, so I'm a little intimidated by...

Title says it all... I'm looking for a cheap digital video camera with a mono/stereo line input, for recording band rehearsals and getting the sound from the desk. I know I could mess around with recording separately, but I'd like it to be simple and immediate. Any suggestions?

****ALL PRICES ARE IN AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS**** I've got my eyes on some gear, so some other gear has got to go! For sale: FMR RNC 'Really Nice Compressor' - $250 (Stereo, very clean, transparent compressor. Great on everything but bass) Presonus BlueTube DP Stereo 'tube' Preamp - $200 Yamaha...

I've been using LE for a while now, and the lack of automatic delay compensation had never been an issue... BUT, now I'm wanting to use some outboard gear, and use the 'hardware insert' function, and the delay is annoying the hell out of me. It can't even calculate the delay like it says it...

I've had a HOSA insert cable die on me recently, and am wondering if there's anything around that's better. Locally, the only ones I can find have moulded connections, and HOSA seem to be the better choice. Is there anything else around that's better? What do you guys use? I guess that the...

Here's my situation... I've decided (probably stupidly) to embark on a solo project, featuring mainly drums. I want to get the best possible results, and have a list of gear to get my hands on in the near future, and a few things that I've ordered that haven't arrived yet... My concern is...

I've just ordered a drum mic pack with a pair of ADX51s, and am wondering what experiences people have had with them, as overheads, percussion mics or on acoustic guitar. I searched, and couldn't find any reviews or detailed comments anywhere. Are they really THAT bad that no-one uses them? :eek:

Not a recording question. A brother of mine has recently built himself a new PC, and the onboard soundcard is noisy, and generally pretty bad quality. He'd like to get a PCI soundcard, with a quality stereo output. No 5.1 or 7.1 doo-dads. Line ins and Mic ins don't matter. Also has to be...

Hi all. I've just ordered a small mixer, and am planning on using the inserts as direct outs for recording. I checked prices, and it seems that buying 8 Hosa direct out cables and an 8 channel TS snake would cost a silly amount, so I've decided that I'll be better off making my own - They'd be...

I've had one of those days, playing around with my gear for too long, and have come up with what seems like a decent sound. What do you guys think? Too much reverb? :p I've listened back on a few different speakers (No monitors yet. :( ), and on some it seems just right, and some it's a...

Hi guys! I finally got myself a Digi 002 recently, and have done a few drum recordings. I'm using an Audix D6, SM57 and two Rode NT5s. I think the outcome is decent, but am looking for others' opinions. Be brutally honest, and overly critical, please. :D...

I got an Audix D6 for Christmas yesterday, which is pretty damned awesome. After playing around, I found that the best sound I got was with the mic mounted inside the drum, using a tom arm and a clamp hanging from the bass drum bracket. I used a reso without a hole. However... That means that...

Hey all! I'm new to recording, and am currently using two SM57's. One on the snare, and one on the kick. They're going through an Alesis Gigamix8FX. (Yes, a PA head, not a mixer... it has a two track output going to my computer's line in. :cool: ) How would I be able to get more 'crack' out...
