I just picked up some rack stuff, which runs off an ART PS 4x4 power strip. The ART power cord only has a 2 prong end on it, and I figured the prev owner had, for some reason, just cut off the ground prong. But, upon closer inspection, it looks like it came that way. Doesn't seem right, not...

I'm looking at picking up and Otari MX5050 BII. Seems like there are a bunch of different models and options for the 5050. Is the BII a half track (which is what I'm looking for)? Thanks....

Anyone ever hear of Marlboro speakers? I'm trying to find any info on them... Thanks

I have my TSR-8 sitting up behind my mixer on a the same shelf as my yorkville active monitors. Usually I leave the tape on the reel when not in use, and just loosen it up a bit to get it off the heads. Anyway, I realized the other day that the outer part of the left reel is about 6" from the...

anyone have any opinions on these monitors. i've been thinking of getting some yorkvilles, but i saw a pair of these s8m's at the local music shop, for a lot less. i looked around on the net and some studio's seem to use them as monitors anyone have any info on them? thanks

i seem to have a static issue in my studio. here's the deal i have everything setup in my basement. the mixer and most other gear is set up on one of those long foldable tables. when playing, i stand or sit on a chair on a thin industrial type carpet on top of the cement. I've noticed that...

is there some kind of rack mount thing that will allow me to move my boards xlr mic ins (8 of 'em) into the rack? nothing powered or anything, just a row of 8 XLRs ins which I could patch into my board. I suppose I could build one, but maybe there's something already made. thanks

I'm thinkin of getting a small tube amp to use for recording. Up until now, I've been going through a di, or my bass amp, to record my guitar (bass has been my main thing). Works, but thats about it. I love the sound of the old fender twin, and would like to get something similar, only WAYYYY...

Anyone know if Yorkville has started distributing those active YSMs yet, and if so, where to get them (in the US)?

Have a 93 G & L L2000 looking to sell or trade for recording gear. Bass is in excellent shape. Last year (I believe) with Leo Fender's signiture stamped on it. Looking for studio monitors, LD condensor mic, countryman direct box, open reel mixdown deck... jziller@maine.rr.com

In a week I'll be recording my brother's rock band. They want practice tapes where I cut out the guitar for the guitarist, drums for the drummer, etc... The room is in the basement and small. They are somewhat loud, though not to much. I've got 2 SM-57s and 3 sm-58's to work with. These...

I am going to mixdown some music to my computer, and I'm wondering how long of an RCA type patch cable I can run from my board to the computer without loosing to much signal quality. My computer is 1 floor up from my studio. I figure it's about 20' as the drill boars. I do have a remote for...

Well I finally got a soundcard in my computer, and can listen to some of the stuff you guys put out there. But so far I can't get beyond Emeric's stuff. I'm compelled to listen to every song, and have bookmarked his lycos listening room page. Emeric...excellent stuff!!!!! Awesome, awesome...

When does one usually add reverb to the tracks? Because I'm only working with an 8 track, I recorded guitar with reverb on a track, and vocals with reverb on a track. Now, when mixing down, if I apply reverb to the whole thing, I end up 'double' reverbing them. Is this how it's usually done...

I think this is a phase problem, but not sure. I have 3 dynamic mics that I use to mic my small 4 peice drum kit. I've found that I like the sound when I put 2 behind the kit, at ear level. I try to distance each from the snare the same amount, one pointing at the floor top/ride, and the...

So I built a slot resonator. It's freestanding, 5' wide, 4 feet tall and 9" deep. The slats are 3/4" poplar and alternate between 1/8" and 1/4" spacing. It sets up off the floor about 2 feet. I definitely notice a major difference in the sound of the room. I was going to hang more blankets...

I've been reading tons of posts over the last couple of months, getting ideas on gear and techniques as I build my small studio in the basement, and something occured to me. I am a musician, and my studio is a place for me to go and relax, get away from it all and become inspired. I found...

I am slowly building a mostly analog studio, have a Tascam TSR 8 as my tracking deck, and now need to consider a mixdown deck. From what I have read, a 1/2" 2 track is ideal. However, that may be beyond my budget, and I may need to go to a 1/4" 2 track. Any thoughts on this would be helpful...

Not sure if this is the best forum for this. Maybe a forum called 'Hooking It All Up' would be good :) Could someone give me a brief rundown on the different levels put out and expected by gear in the recording chain (in general). For instance, I know that mic inputs (balanced) must go...

I'm searching for a mixing console, so I picked up this Studiomaster 8-4-8R mixer yesterday for a 2 week evaluation. It has 8 pre amp inputs, true 4 bus and 8 tape returns. Direct outs and inserts. Sweepable mids. Talkback. I really like the way it is setup. The problem is, every pot seems...
