http://www.synthogy.com/register/ilok_information.html I could be completely mistaken, but based on everything I have read, it seems that Ivory is switching over to an iLok system, and that is EXACTLY what I have been trying to avoid with all of my software. I think I speak for most of the (at...

Only a few months old and only used about 3 times before I ended up getting the opportunity to buy a Mac. The Mac doesn't have a PC card slot, so unfortunately I can't take advantage of this gear any longer. Comes with all of the original packaging etc. Unit retails for $499.00, asking for...

So, the JDV has a huge buffer due to its AC supply, and it has the drag control to allow manipulation of the pickup loading level, but only has a max of 3.9mOhms, compared to the Countrymans 10mOhms. is this a reason to go with either one? does pickup load realy affect how the instrument sounds?

Will a Passive DI Box take an instrument level and convert it to Mic level to go into my DAV Mic Preamp? I am trying to figure out if I should get a Passive or active DI for recording guitar into my computer to go into an Amp Simulator software. what should I get if I already have a good mic...

Hey all, I am interested in making my own samples for some industrial music, I need machine like noises, ratcheting, clicks, gear whining, etc... is there a Mic type that is better for field recording? first, dynamic or condensor? and secondly, anyone have a mic they use that produces good results?

Hey, I am collecting machine noises, mechanical clicks/pops/snaps etc to be used to create drum beats (industrial type music). can anyone recomend me a good drum machine that I can input these sounds into and arrange them into drum beats? is fruity loops good? or reason? what are the few...

would setting up a desk at an off-angle to your squarish/rectangularish room help break up/split up frequencies coming out of your monitors? I saw a desk today that is built for being put in a corner and thought maybe this would be a cool idea, it would give you sort of a conical shape at...

a sealed cube with a mic and speaker mounted inside. what do you think for recording?

ok, so i know that when using a pan pot, or software, say you have a track of guitar, and a track of vocals if you pan the guitar 100% left, and the vocals 100% right, the guitar will be the only things coming out of the left speaker and the vocals will be hte only thing coming out of the right...

Does it matter which one you use? I have read a bunch of old threads but just got more confused. A.) What exactly does the DI do in the reamping process, why is it necessary? (or is it even necessary?) B.) what does the Reamp box do in the reampin process? i am going to make a really basic...

While moving my junk around, i took a break and my speakers, in relation to me, were at a very wide angle... they are about 30 degrees off axis.. my head is at the obtuse angle of what seems to be about 120 degrees. each speaker aimed at my ears... what i noticed was that i can "see" the stereo...

I just got this Emu card so i could record my keyboard in SPDIF. i have it all hooked up and eveything but now im getting crackles and pops in my recording, i can hear it through the monitors when im not recording as well.. also, it seems to be messing up my metronome in Audition2.0 does this...

Monitor is still buzzing even with volume all the way off on my HP4 and even if they are plugged into nothing but power... here is a sound clip http://home.att.net/~darkecho/monitor_noise.mp3 I have tried so many things... I am starting to think maybe its the surge protector they are plugged...

I just bought balanced cables to connect my keyboards balanced outputs to my Delta44s balanced inputs... yet I see and hear noise in my recording program at -63dB I thought balanced cabled ommitted noise?!?! I just did a comparison between balanced and unbalanced cables, the unbalanced gave me...
