Cloud would not work as my PC is off the internet.

I'm not going to have these 2 drives permanently connected. I'll connect them once a month or so and backup my work. At least if I loose, it is a smaller amount of work. Also, my PC is off the internet, and I do not connect any pendrives to it, just burn a CD each time I want to export a file...

which model of WD do you recommend? I do not mind getting 2 drives at 1TB each instead of 1 drive of 2TB. But here it seems that a 1TB is €65 and a 2TB is €99.

I have a 2 hard drive computer. A small solid state drive to run the operating system (windows 10) and 2 terabyte traditional hard drive where I store my audio files and projects. I also use this PC for editing pictures and videos and I store the files on the same drive. The hard drive is...

I'll give it a try!

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on TLM103. What do you think of this mic?

The problem is that even when I reach out to people and offer recording for free, they do not ask me to send some of my work for them to see my capabilities, but they ask what gear do I have. I can't just record my project and having myself playing all the tracks.

I've actually been looking at the LCT 640. But now is not the time to buy Chinese stuff, the 640 just went up in price by 20%. These tend to fluctuate and I have to wait for the right time. The AC15 went up in price 2 days before I got my monthly wage. Had to wait 7 months for it to go down...

If the mic really shines as a vocal mic, I'm OK with a cardioid. But otherwise, I'd like having options. I'd be also OK with a vocal only mic, since I really use the LDC for vocals only. And outside kick, but I'm not going to put my expensive mic as outside kick. I've got most of the other...

The recent ones are not made in Austria anymore, I believe they have been moved east. Do they still hold the resale value and do they sound just as good?

Thank you very much for the input. I really like the CV12. I've been going back and forth if I should get it or the Oktava MK220. I know that this might sound a bit shallow, but I am looking for a mic that I can bring people with the mic name. I know that it should not matter. But if I cannot...

Looking for a really good vocal mic. I have to buy new as there is no used market in my country. At the moment I have a decent collection of dynamics: SM57, SM7b, MD421 and D112. And I have only 2 sE X1 and 1 Blue Bluebird LDCs. I do not have the budget for a U87. I was thinking about the TLM...

Thank you, I think I got what I need from these 2 sites. I'll do a good test later on today!

The singer is a main problem for this. But I have to admit that sometimes, I do a bad mic choice, and I fall in this trap usually with thin male vocals. I try to beef them up using a darker mic. Then if they do not cit through well I start to boost the upermids and highs and start going into all...

I actually enjoy a lot of the Reaper plugins. I also like a lot the free Focusrite compressor. I use it on most of the stuff such as toms, that I do not have hardware compressors for tracking. I like the ReaEQ, especially for subtractive EQ, but the Focusrite EQ is great to add space for double...
