Hey all. So I'm moving overseas, and am looking to downsize my gear for the move. I've got a Motu 828 mkII and a Grove Tubes Brick preamp to sell (and some other odds and ends). Any suggestions on what to buy to replace it with with the same money (hopefully at least $550)? I only need 2...

hey. I'm moving out and need to get rid of a bunch of DIY bass traps which use mineral wool panels. I've got four 2'x4'x4" ones, one has a 3/4" MDF back to be used as a gobo, and two have a nicer wood trim. And two 2'x6'x4" ones (frame is deeper, but there's 4" of mineral wool in there). $15...

my first time recording violin, and i think i didn't do so hot :( When the violin is playing loud (or multiple notes), i think it sounds good, but when it's soft, it's not so hot. Anyhow, the recording is done, and all I can do is mix now. So any suggestion on improving things in the mix are...

hey all. Got a chance to record a phenomenal artist this weekend. Got two little acoustic tracks here (one instrumental, one with vocals), and looking for a critique on the mix. Any comments, suggestions, criticisms are greatly appreciated :D I hope you guys enjoy listening as much as I...

hi all. I'm looking to find the smallest USB audio interface out there to use for song-writing and messing about while on the road. All i need is stereo line-in and headphone out. I'm looking at the M-Audio Transit, but just wanted to see if anyone else had any other ideas. thanks :D

Hey all. Working on a new recording with my band here. We tracked the basics of it last weekend, but listening back today, i'm unhappy with regards to the timing during the verses. So I'm looking for your guys honest opinion here. Should we go back and try to re-track the rhythm section...

As a hobbyist, I don't really get access to fancy gear like Neumann mics. But the vocalist i recorded over the weekend had her own mic which was a TLM-103 which she had never used before. It may be on the low end of the Neumann line, but it was the most amazing vocal mic I've used so far on a...

Hi all. Recorded a jazzy cover yesterday. I would love some notes on the mix :) thanks in advance for any suggestions or comments you guys make! link to song

Not sure if this post should go in the DIY section or here, so sorry if it's posted in the wrong forum. I just picked up a used Groove Tube's The Brick, and I gotta say I'm less than impressed with it's performance. I tried using it yesterday with a Rode NT2a, and the vocals were very tinny...

Hi all. So i just did the capacitor upgrade mod to a pair of 603s that I have. In the process, i tried to get some recordings so i could hear the difference in the upgrade. Prior to now, i never did any testing to compare my 603 pair. i always assumed, same mic, must sound similar. After...

First thought is a used SM7, but my pre's don't have enough gain and i don't have enough cash for new pre's right now. So any other suggestions out there? Motivation for this purchase is for a female singer who sound a bit shrill at times, so i figured a warmer/darker mic might be a good...

I'm looking to upgrade/get a new pair of SDCs. I currently have a pair of MXL 603s and I'm not particularly happy with their performance as overheads. To me the lack some low end body that I like to hear in overheads and are a bit harsh. Currently i don't have any outboard pre-amps (I have a...

hey all. Just wondering if anyone out there know of half rack space sized (or approximately) fan-less mono power amps out there.

hey all. Guitar isn't my main instrument, but i just inherited a Fender Ultra Strat (which is gorgeous BTW), and now I want to start playing more. So I'm hoping to get a decent, budget minded amp. I'm not planning on playing live, so low power is preferred, and I don't have much money to...

Hey all, working on another song here. I've got a first cut at the mix: http://www.scathontiphat.com/dropbox/mp3s/Hablo_firstMix111708.mp3 okay, couple notes. 1) the second 'C' after the drums come in, both the key and guitar track are messed up. It sounds like it's clipping, but the levels...

Hey all. Got another one here. This one is a pretty straight ahead (and short) rock piece, but the mix just isn't quite there in my ears. I'm not sure what to do about it though, so any help on the mix would be super greatly appreciated :)...

Hey y'all... here's a first cut at a mix on a demo i'm working on. Suggestions, criticisms, comments please!!! http://www.scathontiphat.com/dropbox/mp3s/santdy_demo110508.mp3 THANKS :D

I was looking around the net for vids of Omar Hakim playing, and came across this one. Thought it was interesting that there doesn't seem to be any isolation between the drums and the band, except for a gobo that the solo sax player is playing into. For a CD that's so Drum-centric, i would...

hey, so another poster in here is asking about cheap compressors and seems to be getting the VLA + upgrade tubes suggestion a lot. I personally found my VLA seems to suck the life out of anything I put through it, and consequently i've been thinking of dumping it (my only other compressor right...

I think i'll be able to carry 2 mics (asuming both aren't large LDCs), 1 fuzzy windscreen, and maybe a mini tripod with me, but that's about all (maybe, just maybe, I can pack in something like the porta-booth if i can figure out a way to make it tiny and it makes a noticeable difference)...
