    Advice On Speaker Placement?

    Could I get a little advice on speaker placement, for my new room, please? First off, the good news - my partner and I bought ourselves a beautiful house and I have a new room to work in. Dimensions are precisely 10ft x 7ft, which would of course make a perfect studio for someone solely into...

    How Do I Troubleshoot This?

    My AMD Quad core system which I use for general duties sometimes reboots by itself and there is a flash of a blue screen. It used to do this all the time, then it stopped completely. I had trouble free service for about 3 months. Never found out what was causing it and similarly, without any...

    Using: Fostex MR-8MKII Digital Multitracker recorder KAM KDM400 Dynamic Vocal Mic Behringer UB1204fx-Pro Mixer Great recordings using the Behringer mixer's pre-amps into the unbalanced/ guitar input of the MR-8 but hardly portable. When I use the mic on the balanced/ XLR input alone, the...

    How To Work With Sends?

    I have several tracks which I want to pass through the same EQ but some of them to go into a reverb. The problem is I want all of the chosen tracks to pass through the EQ but only some to the reverb. I want the reverb to be side chained (is that the right term?) so that I can have a mix of wet...

    Suggested Output Levels For Mixing?

    The stereo line level inputs of my (physical) mixer each feature a level switch, which toggles between +4 and -10. My computer's PCI L/R out is connected to this. I output my mix using a VST limiter (or multi-band compressor with the limiter switch on) which lies after EQ and other effects...

    Towards "A FLawless PC"

    Towards "A FLawless PC"

    Hi all. Well, we've seen 'Doctor Destructo' himself in action enough times; we've debated whether the Apple Mac or the PC is the more stable and we've even talked about "getting the most from your tools". So now it's time for us to lay our cards on the table, leave behind (but learn from) the...

    Which OS For Dedicated Editing Computer?

    For audio books, I use the Fostex MR-8 MKII digital multi-track for capture. I'm now at a stage where I could do with getting my DAW up and running for editing. For this, I will be using FL Studio 10 Signature Bundle. Question is, which OS should I use? I have at my disposal Windows XP...

    Bzzzzt! What was THAT?

    I wonder if anyone could explain what is happening here? Just lately, I've been running a line from the output of the on-board Realtec sound chip of my internet/ office computer to a line-level stereo input on my Behringer 1204FX mixer. The connection comprises a 6 meter audio cable which goes...

    Fostex MR8 MKII £49.99 7 day money back gaurantee. 3 month warranty. No visible wear and tear. Found it just as the shops were closing for business. I've got tonight to get some opinions and read some reviews before I run up at 9am and nab it. Voice recording for audio books is my purpose.

    What Do You Think Of This Mini PC?

    I was looking in the window of my local PC store yesterday and saw this second hand Dell mini computer running Windows XP going for £150 GBP. I've done business with these guys a few times and I've done a bit of DTP and leaflet distribution for them in the past. So they're great friends of...
