    For sale 8 x custom made acoustic studio gobos on casters. Each is 8ft tall by 3ft wide by 1ft deep.

    Behringer MX8000...

    I've decided to sell my Behringer MX8000. I got it with the studio I just bought, but I've upgraded the sound card / AD/DA interfaces / Computer, so I've no real need for the desk any more. How much is this thing worth in the UK at the moment?

    Expensive Patch Bay?

    Right... I've got two patch bays in the studio... both a bit old and knackered... Going to replace them (or at least one of them as I've no need for two at the moment) and I've been looking prices up... they range from £30 to £200! Why should I pay £200 for a patch bay when I can get one for...

    Micing up an 8x10

    Not sure why I keep posting these kind of questions on here, as generally the answer is "Try things until you're happy with the sound", but hey... I like this place :) So, I've got an Ampeg 8x10 bass cabinet / Ampeg SVT4-PRO head... which I shall be using to record with. When I've recorded bass...

    What affects latency?

    Lately I've been researching sound cards and interfaces for DAWs... I settled on an RME HDSP9652, which I received yesterday. Still waiting for my two Presonus Digimax FS's, which should be here next week. I was wondering... as I've only had experience with an M-Audio Delta 1010 before now...

    Difference between drum heads...

    I'm going to be starting to record an album as of next week - my drummer and I have been struggling with the raw sound of the Toms on his kit. He uses 12, 13 and 14" toms on his Premier Resonator kit. He uses Remo FibreSkyn heads - currently a bit mish mashed... in my opinion, they sound dull...

    Leslie Cabinet....

    What do you all know about these things? What are they capable of? I have one in my studio, but no wires etc... don't even know if it works or not. I've heard rumours that I could hook this up to guitar / bass / keys and get that funky rotary sound from it. I know it was used on "Black Hole...

    Can you have too many mics when recording a drum kit?

    I've been refining my drum kit recording technique for the past couple of years - mainly been recording hard rock and metal, and I keep buying new mics to improve / reinforce the sound... Here is how I currently mic up: Bass Drum - AKG D112 about 2 inches from the bass skin, offset from the...

    Noise VST Plugin / EQ?

    This is entirely my fault, and I've learnt from my mistake, but I've managed to record a 7 hour voiceover (yes, 7 hours... plus about 10 hours editing :() with the gain on my preamp set too high :( This was due to me not spending enough time setting up - the SM7B mic was too far away from the...

    When to EQ / Add Effects

    I've been recording for a few years now, and something's just popped in to my head... maybe I'm doing it all wrong? Although I know there's no right or wrong way to do things in the recording / mixing / mastering world, I'm sure there are "better" ways! I currently record with some decent mics...

    Studio vocal booth

    Some of you may have read, I've just bought a studio... it's quite a good size, I've treated as best I can for my current budget, but unfortunately the room isn't really that great - it has about 5 windows, and bands practice below it and down the hall from it... though it's still one of the...

    Speaker differences?

    So, I'm happily mixing away in my studio on my Mackie HR824's, finally got a mix I was happy with, did a bit of mastering (ran the full track through a multi-band compressor, parametric EQ and maximizer) then wrote it to a CD with Nero... I've only recently purchased the studio, so I'm new to...

    Audio interface for professional studio?

    I've moved out of my garrage at last and got myself a studio at last. I'm currently using 3 x M-Audio Delta 1010's, that give me 24 channels of simultaneous recording. Now, I've had nothing but issues with my Delta 1010's from day one. Pops, clicks, blown capacitors, dodgey 1/4" jack...
