I just moved to a house in Montenegro where I plan on putting together some video guitar lessons. I am trying to live cheaply over the next year or so while I get my lessons produced and online. So I am in a house that does not have ideal space. I put together the attached 3D diagram (to scale)...

I am living in a home for 18 months. I don't have tools and skills for a complicated DIY project. I just want to quickly treat some rooms. Room 1 is medium bedroom size. That is the studio. Room 2 is where I have a guitar speaker cab from which I run a mic into room 1. Room 2 is somewhat bigger...

I have been doing this for a while using a normal TRS cable. I plug it in half way and it works. But everything I read says you are supposed to be doing this with TS cable. So now I am confused. Further, I read that the insert direct out method is a cleaner signal than a dedicated direct out...

I have HR824s which only run on 120V. Can someone recommend a logical upgrade to this speaker which runs on 120-240 V, 50-60Hz? I am not attached to Mackie. I just want something that is comparable, which has a wide freq range. I like how the HR824s have decent bass coverage. Though to mix...

Til now I have gotten by with a Mackie 1402 VLZ Pro. I record guitar through a Lynx2 and do my mixing through Mackie HR824s. I record with a Royer R121 mic through a Great River 1NV. I want to upgrade the mixer. I need something that runs 120-240V, 50-60 Hz. It needs to have as transparent as...

I am drilling a hole in the wall that connects my studio room with my room that has guitar speaker cabs. What is the correct way to do this so as to minimize sound bleed? Are there special fixures I can buy? Basically, I am running up to 4 mic cables and 4 speaker cables. Thanks! Brian

I am very good at recording my guitar but have never recorded voice before. I am making an instructional guitar video and need to have decent voice quality. I plan on using my Studio Project C1 for the voice. It will go into either a RNP Preamp or Great River 1NV. From there into my Lynx2 sound...

I picked one of these bad boys up fpr $650. Best money I ever spent. Now when I mix in cubase, the host CPU is quite low, as all the power hungry stuff (reverb, compression) go to the UAD-1. Just wondering what others think of this great card.

I am a guitarist who is trying to develop reasonable mixing skills. I am working on a cd. I want to make somewhat decent mixes on my own and then ultimately pay a pro to do it right. Here are a couple guitar instrumentals that I wrote. The thing that I always have trouble with are: 1) relative...
