    Drywall questions

    To some degree walls are the easy bit! The ceiling and roof can leak a lot of sound and you cannot just go gaily adding mass there without consulting a structural engineer. "Foam to isolate the floor"? How so? the floor need to be totally decoupled from the walls with proper elastic joist...

    ALways pleased to hear from you Ray but...bit "chocolate teapot" mate! Dave.

    Win 11 Taskbar

    How do you MOVE the fekker!? I have just installed Reaper on this Lenovo E590 laptop and some of the settings are buried in the taskbar. In Win 10 you just "grabbed" the bar and threw it to the side. Don't work for W 11. Don't like 11, forever popping ***t up. VERY distracting. Dave.

    Audacity? Equipment? or am I missing something?

    Yes Audacity is very handy to have but limited and its main limitation is that it cannot use the Focusrite ASIO drivers. Reaper can. There will be a learning curve, always is with any DAW but an evening's study should get you able to do most of what you want. Reaper is also a huge "community"...

    NEWBIE - Equipment Recommendations - Recording Electric Guitar Cabs

    Wrong! DO jump in! The ONLY way to do this is "to do it". For recording guitar cabs all you need is a mic (a 57 is fine but there are zillions of dynamics at a third the price than will serve) an interface and a DAW. I of course agree with Rob A, he da man! I would put in one note of caution? I...

    Need help setting up lynx hilo 2 to my equipment

    "Mic into preamp into compressor into hilo 2 into pc via thunderbolt 3? Is that correct" Well. K.I.S.Sir, forget the compressor for now. What mic into what preamp? And feed the pre amp into line inputs on the Lynx. I assume you have got the Hilo to playback stuff? DAW? Dave.

    Need help setting up lynx hilo 2 to my equipment

    Might I suggest you contact Lynx? Such a high end audio company SHOULD have a highly motivated team of people ready to help their customers IMHO. I am "slumming it" with a MOTU M4 but the guys there are super helpful (and, has to be said, NI not so much!) If they are not willing to guide you...

    Tascam recorder advice

    This: https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/tascam-model-12 is pretty much what the Portastudio has morphed into? It records to an SD card or a computer and even has MIDI ports by crickey! Dave.

    Tascam recorder advice

    As others have said, I would go for an interface and computer. Assuming you have some sort of a computer (not a dinky phone!) I suggest you install Cockos Reaper and have a play with headphones? You might also find the free Cakewalk by Bandlab interesting. Dave.

    TEAC A-3340S what mixer to use?

    Your computer can be an excellent signal source. Even the 3.5mm headphone output should be of near CD quality but a very basic interface would be even better and give you jack outputs. Look at the basic Behringer UMC series? Audacity can be all the software you need and will play radio...

    PMT Chain in UK closes with immediate effect.

    My stuff arrived a few hours ago but I have ****** up a bit. I had assumed the USB C hub would have a C to A adaptor. Not so, 3 now on order. FYI Anker 332. Dave.

    PMT Chain in UK closes with immediate effect.

    That is not my experience in UK with Amazon Rich. I have ordered 3 items in the last 3 weeks and all have arrived within 4 days as promised and one came next day on a Sunday. I am presently waiting on a USB hub and card reader which are promised today and I am pretty confident. I don't have...

    PMT Chain in UK closes with immediate effect.

    About a week ago I drove a few miles to visit "PC Supplies" on an industrial estate just outside my town. Really nice helpful guys and I wanted a USB hard drive, couple of ,memory sticks and some DVD-R media. All they had was one 32 G stick. The chap explained that they can't compete with...
