Hello, I'm currently making plans for building something that remotely resembles a professional recording studio. My studio construction consultant came up with the idea of filling the studio walls with sand instead of mineral wool. His point was that this would be an inexpensive way to make the...

Hello, OK so me and my friend are starting up a studio. Our main market will be demo bands that want high quality demos and possibly independant record companies that need recordings on a budget. So we won't be a top pro facility, but not a hobby recording place either. Me and my friend want to...

Hello, I just posted a new song of my band Polyester. It's called Medicine and you will find it at http://polyester.just.nu . Any comments on that song or the others is most appreciated. Cheers /Henrik

AES/EBU, S/PDIF, ADAT Lightpipe - is there a quality difference between these formats, and which do you guys like the best? Thanks /Henrik

Hello, I wonder if anybody knows how the compressor in Joemeek's TwinQcs compares to the one in SC2.2. I know the latter one can't be used for dual mono, but does it sound different than the TwinQ? Thanks /Henrik

Ramones meet New Order? Or maybe Motorhead meet Depeche Mode at Morrissey's place? You tell me. Enjoy. http://polyester.just.nu CHeers /HEnrik

Which is the best dithering/noise shaping software available? L1? UV22? Others? In particular, I'd be interested in those working on MacOS (and VST format, if it's a plug-in). Thanks /Henrik

Anyone tried this mic? Could it be useful for drum overheads, and other acoustic applictions - or is the polar pattern too narrow for that? I have been offered to buy a used pair for about $250. Any input is much appreciated! Cheers /Henrik...

Anyone with experience of this product? I got it offered used for about $160. Is it a go? Cheers /Henrik

www.lineaudio.se Line Audio is a small company in Sweden that designs and manufactures mics and mic preamps. They have a series of mics (SM/ST/QM series) that seem to be designed in a pretty unusual manner (one of their mics has six membranes, another one has twelve!). Harvey or anyone who...

Hey Sjoko, in several threads you have sworn by the quality of Lucid converters compared to anything on the market. I recall one post where you claimed the difference between something recorded through your Digi001 and the Lucids were like comparing cassette tape to CD! Probably intended as a...

I'm currently recording some electric bass, and my problem is that I get a nice fat low end on some notes, while other notes completely disappear down there. And it's not only that the low notes are more bassy than high notes - playing an F on the A string gives a lot more bottom end than a C on...

Anyone ever used a Sennheiser MD21? It's supposedly a 60's mic that I just got offered to buy for about $250. I'll of course try it out myself before I buy it, but I'd like to get some input from others as well. Thanks /Henrik

Hello, I'm looking into buying a hardware sequencer for live use. All manufacturers rate how many events their sequencers can store in the internal memory. For instance the Roland MC50 can store 40,000 events. But I wonder what that means precisely. First - do both note on and note off count...

Hello, I recently bought an iMac, to have as an extra computer at home (as opposed to my main computer in my studio) and installed VST on it. By accident I happened to open the VST Performance meter, and saw that the red "over" light was on in the CPU meter. This was at a time where I wasn't...

Hello, just a quick one here: This guy told me that what determines a bass speaker's ability to produce the lowest frequencies is the TOTAL area of the speaker cones in the cabinet. So he claimed that a 4x10" cabinet would be able to produce more low end than a 1x15", since the total area of the...

Hello, I'm starting up a small semi-pro recording studio, where my target group would be demo bands or small record companies who need inexpensive but decent sounding recording. Right now I'm checking out some locations for this. I've been offered a place where the room I would use as the main...

Will someone please explain the difference between the levels -10 and +4 used in different types of audio gear?! Why is +4 considered better? Are there any situations where you would prefer -10? Thanks /Henrik
