    Using a serverrack as vocal booth

    'lodeli! I'm about to defy the bounderies of claustrofobia by putting a former 42 unit serverrack in my livingroom in order to use it as a vocal booth. I know this is madness, but really, it's all the room I have. I know acoustically it's not a good idea either, but acoustics are not really...

    Drummachine or soundfonts/sample CD's.

    Hi guys 'n girls! What would you prefer to get good drumsounds in your songs: drummachines (in particular a Yamaha RM50 I got my eyes set on) or using soundfounts? I'm not just talking about soundquality, but rather about general easy of use and satisfaction. Thx already! Bart

    0.011 on a Ibanez RG 550 = trouble?

    'lodeli, just got me a RG 550 for a fantastic price. I just stringed this baby with a 0.011 set, but can't get it tuned properly. Everytime I get at the top string, the lower strings have lowered in tune. It's as if the three springs of the Floyd Rose tremolo can't handle the force of the...

    Buzzing bass = frets have to be replaced?

    Hi, somebody gave me a Ibanez SR400. I've noticed the strings make a lot of noise, because they slap against the fretboard. I've looked into the rec.music.makers.bass FAQ and followed the instructions to adjust the neck etc., but still some buzzing going on on several frets, especially when I...

    How small can a vocal booth be?

    Hi all, last step in creating my own homestudio is building a vocal booth. Thing is I only have a small limited space available: (I hope I get these US size units correct) 2.5 by 2.5 by 6. So just about enough to stand upright in. The main purpose is to have some decent isolation. Acoustics...

    Using your expensive studiomonitors for general multimedia

    Hi, is it harmful in any way to use your studiomonitors for regular sound output of your PC (ICQ, DIVx, Winamp,...) Obviously I'm not talking about pushing to sound to its limits, but driving non CD-quality sounds through those speakers. I just got these expensive Event Trias and I would...

    Virtual studio versus external equipement

    Hi guys 'n girls, I hope you can help me out on this one. I'm currently building my own home-studio and I'm facing a big dilemma. I just read a review on the Creamware Pulsar II card in Future Music - I quote: "This may sound rather dramatic, but if you own a Pulsar II you should seriously...

    Advice needed on purchase studio monitors

    Hi all, I'm currently setting up a home studio and I'm looking in to a solution to monitor whatever I'm recording. The music I record covers a wide frequency range and could be considered "extreme" (metal, industrial etc.). I was wondering: for this situation, do I really need dedicated...
