Hey guys, been a while since I posted here. Anywho, a friend of mine asked me to record and provide reinforcement for his senior recital. For a couple of pieces he has hired a small 4 piece chamber orchestra. I've thought about doing up an XY of either my c1000's (which get such a bad wrap, but...

Last night, I was set up in a bar running sound for a friend when I noticed that one of my speakers was buzzin on the lower notes. After having ruled out bad channel, bad amp, etc... Came to the conclusion it was the woofer. Testing it today I noticed that when I put a little pressure with my...

Long story short: I had read a lot about headbasket mods and I figured I might inspect my headbaskets and see how its done. Not do it myself, per se, just see if I could see how its done. Anywho, I took my M-Audio Luna apart (which was bought used like most of my mics) and noticed that there's...

Yahoy hoy! I've got a set of KRK rokit 5's... first generation. I've noticed its a bit boomy in the lo-mids... and I've been compensating for that in my mixes. I do, however, have a chance at getting an old Event Triamp set for next to nothing. Would this setup be an upgrade for me? Would it be...

I tried to get a friend's band into my small personal studio... But they opted to find someone who would do it for free. The results were a lot less than stellar. So, that friend decided to come into my studio to record his solo project. We've got one of the songs done. My mix isn't perfect but...

Most of the major companies seem to be coming out with lightweight amps in the coming months. I was wondering if anyone knew what the major change in design is. Are there any risks with these new amps?

Hey folks I currently have a Mackie Onyx 1640 in my live rig but its also got the FW output that I used to use until I finally got a second echo Layla 24/96 PCI set up. My question lies in the quality of the converters in each. I was wondering if there's much of a measurable difference between...

Looking for a decent control surface. I've grown quite fond of all the options the Mackie HUI has. Its only downside is that there's only 8 faders. If I also purchased one of those mackie extenders for the MCU could I get the two to work together?

Recently I've found myself only doing subtractive EQ... rarely ever additive. Is this a good thing? Am I limiting my mixes doing just subtractive?

Ahoy, Sorry for the length of this but I'm totally new to patchbays. I just started putting together my first series of outboard gear and decided it was time for a patchbay. I bought a few just so I could pick between them because they each had different features. I have a tasca, a furman, 2...

Hey folks, my band's looking to book some studio time at a local studio. It'll be most of our's either first or second time in studio, so we're relatively inexperienced. We've toured the place and met the engineer and owner. They seem like really awesome really professional folks. They've...

I've been looking around. Considering the upgrade to pro tools in a couple years... but that just has all these different expenses and I don't feel like it would be worth it considering that I've been using cubase for years and am very comfortable with it now. One of the deciding factors are...

Quick question and I'm not sure where to put this. I'm a renter. In the house I live I inhabit the second floor and have cleaned out and fixed up the basement to use as a studio. A few weeks ago the shower on the second floor began leaking due to cracks in the shower bed. Before I could fix it...

Hi folks, I'd like to get into the DIY arena, but unfortunately I'm a little lacking in the knowledge area. Is there a good book I can pick up somewhere or a decent beginner's kit I can learn on? I dream of some day building myself a nice solid state preamp.

Is there a way to meld a file with the one below it on a track? I have a guitar track and a dub. I feel if I melded the two some how (without having to put the dub in a separate track) it will have the bit of bleed from the vocalist singing and won't sound so out of place.

I don't know where to put this so I'm placing it in two places out of fear and desperation. I have a mackie onyx 1640 w/ firewire card that I use for both my live sound rig and my home recording. Tonight we were hosting an open mic where people went out of their way not to get up on stage. To...

Is there a way, while mixing in cubase, to switch between stereo and mono playback on the fly?

Ahoy matey's Looking for some feedback on this song and the mixing we threw down a couple weeks ago. It was done live in a fairly untreated basement. http://www.reverbnation.com/tunepak/1562489

I'm, very obviously, a hobbyist. Therefore my recording PC is also my home use PC. I record in my basement and whenever I do I drag my tower down to the basement to do so. My interface is a Mackie Onyx 1640, which doubles as my live rig as well. It is much easier to move the tower than this 150...

http://ronansrecordingshow.com/ I've seen him posting around here the last couple days. I took the link to his site. I'm really enjoying his show and he explains things so you don't feel like an idiot yet they're understandable for those who haven't quite made it through the entire microphone...
