So, my walls in my basement are quite strange. The walls themselves are rockwool, so there is next to zero reflection of any sound in my basement. While this is good on SOME level because there are no BAD reflections/standing waves/etc, it also gives all my recordings a very dull, dry, low-heavy...

Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong category, I couldn't decide whether i should post this in Digital or Analog recording, haha Recently I've been wanting to use more analog equipment in my setup (outboard gear, mixers, etc). I got a couple mic pre's, and now I want to get a mixer for my...

My friend is giving me a Pearl Export Series drum kit, it's in good condition but I'm getting new heads just to be safe. What are some drum heads that you guys recommend?

In my opinion, my recording room is the worst for recording ever, but its the only one I have. It's in my parents basement, all the walls are completely isolated, the walls are all parallel to each other, and there's carpeting on the floors. So no natural reverb, and dull sounding everything...

I currently have 2 Audix F-15's that I'm using for overheads, but I think I'm ready to start getting some new mics for my studio and I was wondering what mics you guys recommend I check out for overhead mics? Also, I have an AKG D112 but I'm not a big fan of it, honestly. Any other mic I should...

I'm trying to find a drum sampling software, I understand how drumagog works but it's a tad too expensive for my budget. Do the Toontrack software's act as "trigger" software for drums, or are they just simply for drum samples for creating your own drum beats and whatnot? I'm wondering because...

I've been trying to research what the function of an AD/DA converter is but can't seem to figure it out. If anyone can help me out with this, I'd greatly appreciate it! -Steve

sooo, I was thinking that it's about time to re-tube my Peavey Valveking. I figured, pretty cheap amp, must have pretty cheap tubes too. So I was thinkin about this combo: Groove Tube GT-ECC83-S Preamp Tubes and... Tungsol 5881 Matched Power Tubes, Hard I play in a deathcore band and...

I understand ADAT, but then I realized that my interface doesn't have a digital out. So I came across the "S/PDIF" output, and I was wondering what exactly that does? Does it do relatively the same thing or something completely different?

Hey, I'm Steve, I'm quite new to recording. I just found out that I guess I need an A/D Converter to convert my mixer to my computer and be able to seperate the tracks instead of having 1 stereo track or whatever. I was wondering how an A/D Converter works so I can understand it before I spend...

My friend offered to build me a guitar if I bought the parts for it. I'm having a hard time deciding what types of wood I should get for the body/neck/fingerboard. It's going to be a seven string guitar, and I play in a deathcore band. The guitar will have 1 EMG 81-7 in it and I'd prefer...

I'm trying to improve my guitar sound, and I discovered the Nady RSM-4 and saw that it had great reviews. I was wondering if it would sound good if I combined the RSM-4 and my SM57 on my amp? (yes, my amp sounds good too).

So I own a firepod and I plug 7 drum mics into it (AKG D112, SM57, 2 e604's, Audix F12, and 2 Audix F15's) and record with Cubase LE. I play with the mixer set to "input" and it sounds good. but then when I play it in the "playback" setting it sounds completely different, compressed, a lot...

I'm currently looking to buy a new cabinet for recording, and are angled or straight cabs better for recording, or does it really make no difference at all?

okay, so I know that the only preamps I've seen like the firepod only have up to 8 inputs... but I'm trying to record drums with 12 inputs, and I need to record more at the same time, but I don't want to use a mixer because I want to have seperate tracks on my DAW. Is there anything out there...

So I'm looking to buy a bass trap, but I have a problem. I have isulated walls, but the outer (actual wall) part is this soft, almost fabric-like material, so I can't glue or nail anything to these walls :( So is there any form of a bass trap where it could be free standing, without having to...

I'm currently looking to purchase a compressor for my studio and I just wanted some advice before I started buying. Within a reasonable price range (nothing over a few hundred dollars or so), whats the best compressor that you know of on the market?

This is something that I've always wondered. besides the obvious things like number of speakers, is there any other major differences between half stacks and combo amps? I know its probably a stupid question but I've always been curious. Also while I'm on the subject, would a Vox Classic Plus...
