New to recording. Have a Yamaha 16-track DAW. Going direct with acoustic guitar. Strumming sounds tinny- meaning thin. Want more umph. Tried EQ, but with minimal results. Any suggestions?

I have an Alesis unit coming into the Digital In on my VS880EX and have assigned tracks 7 and 8 to the "On" position for In1, but am getting no signal. What is going on? What am I doing wrong? -c

I know I might be asking the choir here, but I was just introduced to the Masterlink tonight and don't know much about its performance. Are you all generally satisfied with it? What do you think of it? I tried to find other reviews in this board, but could not find one. Sorry if this is a...

I have a Roland vs880ex hard disk recorder. Have clients doing demo work and want to send them with something on CD. Was recommended the Sony CDR-W33. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance. -c

I have a couple of these. Looking to sell one. It's been used 2 or 3 times on a couple practice sessions. Non-smoke environments. I am just not using it enough to justify having two. Make an offer. Generally $699 new.

I am starting out in voice-overs and want to market myself to all markets. Of course I will be converting from wav to mp3, etc. and emailing audio files and demos. I have a Roland VS880EX, Mackie 1202, and decent condensor mics. Looking at CD burners and computer editing software. Is there...

What is it about them that makes them as bad as they are?

Tried a pair of KSM44's for overheads on a drum kit. Gave a big sound, but we ended up going with a couple Shure SM81's instead. They were thinner sounding, but the drummer preferred that to the sound of the KSM44's. So does anyone have experience with the KSM44's as drum kit overheads? In...

What makes the difference to Chris Squire's bass sound on his solo album "Fish Out Of Water" to the sound on the YES albums of that time? His Rickenbacker really twangs on that album, but if you listen to YES's "Going For The One" which came out right after (and included an outtake tune from...

Talked about underrated, but how about those great songwriters out there that are either unknown to a large extent or not really recognized as great songwriters. Unknown- Brett Krull and Chris Buzby from echolyn (ever heard the album "as the world"?) Unrecognized- Alan White from YES...

The Audio Buddy is $80 and the DMP-3 is $200. Do you really get $120 more mic pre with the DMP-3??

I have two 012's with the capsule packs and discovered that one of the cardioid capsules is no longer working. Has anyone else experienced this? I have had these mic's for 1.5 years and honestly have not used the cardioid capsule that much. Anybody got advice on where to get it replaced or...

A very cool site/business I heard about the other day: http://www.songscope.com/ You can get your songs heard by Music Industry pro's.

I am miking steel string acoustic and I am getting a very tinny sound with a sometimes explosive poppy bottom end. I am miking with an AKG C3000B and an Oktava MC012 with the cardioid capsule. The AKG is about 6-8 inches away and 3-4 inches above the whole. I have used the Oktava both above...
