I have a very problematic room, and I'm trying to tame it a little. As you can see, there are two built-in closets. There is a shelf in each of them about 3/4 of the height, making them basically useless as far as placing any traps in them. I built (so far) 4 4'X8' broadband panels, made with...

Many commercial CDs "fill in the gaps" between songs with these "intro" bits. I'm not sure I'm explaining it correctly, but I mean these 2 or three seconds of gap inserted between the songs during the burning process, that appear as -1, -2 on your CD players. Any idea how to do that? Oren

Talk about a piece of shit... I just built a phantom powered ECM, plugged it in using a Radio Shack cable, and viola, major buzz. Obviously, I thought something was wrong with my assembly, so I started checking the circuit, etc. No problems! Then, from some reason, I decided to try a different...

Hi, I was wondering about common PZM mic placements when recording an upright piano. I want to mount two electret capsules PZM style on my piano for a semi-permanent quick-and-dirty way to record it. Should I tape them to the lid, the back, anywhere else? How about the spacing between the two...

Hi Guys, I just built a pair of these homebrew ECMs and was reALly surprised by the results. The Behringer ECMs cost about 100$ each here, so the value for money can't be beat. It gave me the urge to build a dosen of them, in several configurations. I do have a couple of questions, though: 1)...

Still wrestling with my first S/PDIF experience... I had already bought 2 "digital cables" from a home theater store. One is actually a Monster cable (JR-9502. 2 Meters long), and with both of them it's pop and click city... I did, however manage to get good results with an oooooold standard...

Hi, I had just installed a Hoontech digital I/O daughterboard that provides digital i/o for the SB Live!. While the digital output works great, I son't seem to have a S/PDIF in option on the soundcards mixer, and I don't hear any input from it at all! (Yes, I checked the "properties" section of...

Hi guys, Still wrestling with my Duo... Since the duo does not allow direct monitoring while playing back pre recorded tracks, I thought I'd be smart and play back the pre-recorded tracks through my SB-Live, and I would live happily ever after. However, when using this brilliant method, the...

Hi, Finally managed to set up my Duo to work in 24 Bit properly. The thing is, and I'm not really sure whether it's an N-Track problem or maybe this is just the way it is, but if I try to use tracks that were recorded in 16/44.1 together with tracks recorded in 24/48, the whole thing crashes...

Hi, I have this old laptop (Pentium 133MMX, 192 MB of Ram). Does anyone think installing my USB Duo on it for field recording is a good idea (not even multitracking. Just 2 tracks using Sound Forge or something of a sort), or will the poor machine hate me forever? Oren

Hi guys, Here is a song written by a friend of mine. I wrote a string quartet arrangement for it, and sequenced it. Yesterday we layed down the vocals for it. Bare in mind, that this is strictly a demo. Our intwention was to have an example of how it should be played, so we can actually...

Hi guys, I wrote myself a string arrangement that I was actually happy with, and I even found a soundfont that I liked. Then, I started recording the MIDI track to audio files with N-track, using the SB-Live with MIDI as the recording source (Thinking it'll be the shortest possible signal...

Hi People, Good to be back home, and good to see that this place hasn't changed much... My latest purchase on my trip to the US, is a M-Audio Duo USB thing. I installed it today, and I'm getting a lot of pops, clicks and so on while playing back. After a short search, I found out that the USB...

And cheap, too! www.esi-pro.com The Waveterminal 192X/L looks really promising. Anyone tried these? Oren

Hi, Does it make any sence to anyone to record to a computer, and then mixdown to a reel-to-teel deck (with actual mixing done on the computer, or using and external mixer), then transfering the mix back to the computer for final editing and burning to a CD? Would the multiple A/D-D/A...

Hi, This is a new mix of Walking On Broken Glass. We added a bass line, and changed the mix to fit your and other's comments. I'm really getting sick of this song, and wish we would have chosen a different one for this contest, but... whatever... Any opinions, as brutal as possible, would be...

Here's an Annie Lenox cover. It's my first biggest production to date, and the first with real drums. I'd really like to hear yuo opinions. http://www.nowhereradio.com/Eejit/singles Thanks! Oren

Hey, Here's a few beats of my first realy drums recording. The kit is exeptionally crappy (very old Mapex), and the room has a really strange sound to it (approximately 3x4 meters, totally parallel walls, with lot's and lot's of junk stored near the walls). I used 2 MXL-1006 as over heads, a 57...

Has anyone ever heared of the E-Mu 8725? Looks like a balanced version of a SB-Live... http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=020422141545212199173152615720/search/g=home/detail/base_id/42968 Oren

Hi, Can any of you guys tell me what are you using your second pair of analog outputs for? I mean, If you want to mix entirely ona computer, then obviously 2 outputs are enough, and if you want to mix on an external board then you obviously need at least 8 outputs. The only use I can see for...
