so i bought a firepod maybe a month ago...everything has been going well. my bass player bought a second firepod a few days ago so that we could mic the drums with all 8 inputs and still be able to track guitar, bass, vocals, etc. with the 2nd firepod. so we synced them together ok, and set up...

This is to clarify what type of chipset the Adaptec 4300 pci firewire card has. I did a search on here and read on a few different threads that the Adaptec 4300 firewire pci card has a Texas Instruments chipset and is highly recommended. So to verify I went to adaptecs website and a bunch of...

Does anyone have any links to reviews or any knowledge about this little mixer? It's starting to interest me for my DAW needs...I know it's new, but I can't seem to find any info on it besides what's on their site...Harmony central doesn't really even have anything. But I know Soundcraft...

I was wondering if anyone who owns this card could post their experiences with it. I've tried searching but want to know more. I might purchase it this weekend. A few of my concerns are that people have posted that a sound card with a breakout box is a better alternative to a pci card like...

Please read this, my band needs help...I'm not a newbie, I am familiar with this site which helped me build my first project studio. I used to own an aardvark q10 and a bunch of other great gear to record on, but I eventually sold it all on ebay. When I formed my current band I just figured...

i am currently working out of a basement with concrete floors and walls...the ceiling is beams and pipes. there is also a large amount of clutter on each side of the drum kit and about 5 feet in front of it. what is the best way to enhance the acoustics of this room? My two overhead mics...

i want to try recording with a tunnel for the kick drum. I read on one thread someone mentioned they made it out of cardboard, close miced the beater, then miced from inside the tunnel and mixed the two tracks together for a nice fat sound. i was considering trying this. anyone with...

I use Vegas Pro and Sound Forge to do all my multitracking...but theres very little threads in this section compared to all the others...like cakewalk. is cakewalk a better program or something? -Tom

I recently got T-racks based on a recommendation from someone and I think its a great tool for mastering and finalizing. It's got Equalizer, Tube Compression, Multi-Band Limiter, and a ton of different presets. They're all great too. I was just wondering what everyone else thinks of it...and...

Hello, I just set up a small studio in a garage and it get's kind of cold out there...especially at night. Is this bad for microphones? I figured they were made to handle a lot...and it doesnt say anywhere not to leave them out in cold weather. I've got 2 shure sm57s, an audio technica 4033...

Hi, I have an Aardvark Direct Pro 24/96 plugged into Event PS6 monitors using Monster Cable Standard 100 Gold Tip 1/4" cables. A very annoying HISS is present either when music is on or off. It's somewhat low but it really bothers me when the music is off. The monitors just have a constant...

Hey Everybody, My PS6 monitors arrived today! I picked them out based on reading this website. I think they're oustanding! I can hear frequencies I never thought audible. Everything sounds completely different. You can really pick out the subtleties. I might get some gold tip 1/4"...
