Anyone know where I can find a good article or some other reading that explains the proper way to go about this. I know I found one back in the day but I could definitly use a brush up. I tried search but came up dry. Thanks

I wanna grab a Great River Pre 1nv from the States but don't know what kind of border fees I should expect. I have been on hold with our fantaboulus government for a bit(being that it is friday I can probably get a quicker response here) and figuire some of you guys must have bought stuff...

Ahhhhhh I don't feel like shelling out 100+ dollars for the mount for this mic. Tho I am really happy and excited that I get to go pick it up and play with it tonight. Any home remedies?? Just in case my mic clips and shockmounts I have right now won't fit it.

I mean I have used one and really I have no idea what I am looking for. I know what I am looking at but what are you looking for a straight line?

I was taking a good long look and wanted to see what some of you guys thought of these pre-amps on vocal applications. Specifically these three and specifically for rap... LANGEVIN Dual Mono Mic Preamp With EQ MANLEY Mono Mic Pre Jensen Twin Servo 990 Single Channel Mic Preamp Now I haven't...

So I just moved and before the move my monitors worked fine. Now I noticed a hot electronics smell a week ago coming from my right monitor but no smoke or flames. So I turned it off cooled it down and fine no problems. After that I used it a few times then unhooked it cause I was moving. No...

Well I am looking for anyone in the Ottawa area to point me towards somewhere I can buy a desent desk for my control room. I was just in Steve's the other day and meant to ask but I got caught up in all the toys. I am looking for some desktop racks too. Its time to set-up proper like and not...

Well I think its the opus 36. Sorry everyone my bad its a 39 not 36. Either way I haven't heard much about these mics but I was at the local music store and the guy was liking them. They are cheaper than the Shure sm58 so I grabbed one up to test and so far I am feeling it on the rap...

Overall why do people in whatever type of music use punch-ins?? I know why rappers use them(no breath control)...Whats the deal??

Hi there, I read somewhere that its best to use 3 harddrives while recording music. But I forget where I read this. I know one harddrive to install and run the apps. Store on the 2nd but what is the third for?? Anyone know what I am talking about cause I am starting to doubt myself. Geoff

I am curious how others record them. I know we just plug the tables and mixer into the soundcard and away we go. Then I run the .wav thru a compressor and compress it a little bit. But I was curious how others go about their business. Geoff

So...I have come down to two options for a new pre amp for myself. A RNP or the presonus-MP20 (maybe the vxp). They are both around the same price. Which would you guys recommend. I am using it for vox only. Or Anyone have any other ideas for this price range. I was checking out the rnc...

Okay so anyone had this problem with their monitors. If so what did you do to get rid of it. Its the monitor too cause I unplugged the wires and just had the monitors on and there it was faintly mocking me. Its like I am back in the basement recording thru and amp to a tapedeck all over...

Hi there, I am curious as too what y'all consider to be top of the line plug-ins. I purchased a fair amount of waves' plug-ins but I have a bit more to spend. So what would you guys consider some top of the line plug-ins. I am currently using nuendo 2.1 on a pc.. I have scouted out some TC...
