haha, thanks!

Originally it had a double door system. However after my client spent a day or two working with the booth, he decided that he wanted a single door. The reason being space. The interior dimensions are 4x5. If he was only tracking vocals, everything would have been fine. But he also wanted to be...

Yes, I do the work myself. It sounds DEAD. which is what i was going for. The interior dimensions are 4x5x7. Its not possible to properly tune a room that small. So a dead space is the best solution. The user can add depth and dimension with reverbs, delays, etc. Vocals are right up front...

I havent been on this board in a while, but for good reasons, Ive been busy. Im in the process of getting a bunch of things off the ground. One of those things is a little side business I've started, building vocal booths, desks/racks, acoustic treatments and other assorted studio goodies...

out here in NY, 2" x 24" x 48" OC 703 can be had for $40 for a box of 6 sheets. Anyone in the NY area that needs it, call J&S supply in Long Island City. Not sure of the phone number, but Im pretty sure they have a website, look it up

Here's the deal. I need to record various live percussion (djembe, congas, bongos, cymbals, tambourine, cowbell) over my programmed beats. My style of hiphop is grimey and warm, like Madlib, Portishead, WuTang. So Im NOT looking for that pristine Scott Storch, Dr Dre sound. Whats the best...

Im looking to purchase a module, hopefully in the $500 (used) range. I dont need anymore synth sounds, dont care about a sequencer or a sampler. I just want awesome quality real instrument sounds: most importantly vibes, bass guitar, piano, harp, strings, horns. what are your suggestions? I...

Thanks for the advice! What type of music do you mainly record??

Just a SM7b and a SM57 Any input on the RNC?

Ive owned the Rode NT1000, it was pretty cool. Im at the point now where I wanna start stepping up to the pro level shit. So there arent many mics in the sub $1000 range that Im into buying for vocals. But the C1 gets sooo many great reviews that until I can buy a Neumann or Soundelux, I figure...

Which works great? My question is can I get away with using the SM7 for female rapping and singing. When she rhymes its very laid back, kinda like Ladybug from Digable Planets, and when she sings its subtle and sultry, like Esthero, not loud and dynamic like an R&B/Soul singer. So Im not sure if...

Damn, you guys arent showing me much love today, huh?!

Im tracking a female vocalist this weekend. She raps and sings, her voice is similar to Esthero. I normally record male hip hop vocals and the SM7 works great for that. I was wondering if anyone had experience using the SM7 on female vocals, or if I should pick up a Studio Projects C1 before the...

He said Sm7, not 57. I have a SM7, which I use for hip hop vocals, and its nice and smooth no matter what you throw at it. It dosent have the highest output, so I'd recommend running it through a pre that stays clean at high levels. But its a clean, smooth mic. Michael Jackson also recorded the...

aslo, you can wash the Stedman, so when you record a singer who's on the Whiskey and Cigarette diet, you can wash the foul residue off.
