I am fairly new to recording... i should probably know a lot more then i do ..But there is so much out there.. and well.. i am an idiot. So anyways, this is my question. I have been struggling for a while with my miced guitar setup.. I just cant seem to get the recorded sound i want and its...

So I recently purchased a NADY RSM-2 for 200$(shipped) brand new off ebay. I always hear how ribbons sound so different.. and are a really cool addition to any studio. My friend who i always record with came over and we had a little jam.. i just threw the ribbon on a mic stand about 5 feet from...

2 channels on the RNP or the one higher quality channel of the Grace... this preamp will get used for all sorts of things.. I have lots of decent mics... Rode NTK, SHURE SM7, 57's, SM81's ETC. I run into an edirol 101 firewire unit.. I have an RNC and an aphex 207 preamp.

I have recently bought an RNC and i am totally digging it.. but i feel the need to add a different flavour to my setup. I currently own and Aphex 207 preamp and an RNP is on the way. I have a pretty decent selection of mics (ntk, SM7, SM81's, SM57's, Nady ribbon mic.. etc) I am looking for a...

I just got my RNC and i am realizing i have no idea what compression really does.. ive read the manual a couple times.. but i dont understand what the knobs do.. so cna someone explain in idiot terms what they do...any help would be greatly appreciated.

Great shape.. sounds good.. pretty new tubes.. footswitch.. 625$ pluys shipping.

Ok so i just sold my motu 896 because of all the problems it was giving me with chipsets.. etc.. In favour of an edirol fa-101 which i had previously owned adn worked great. .so i thought.. why not. I have been wrestling with the unit all night.. The sound is very crackily and very choppy... as...

Motu 896 in good shape with TI pci firewire card ... works perfectly with the card.. without.. dont even bother. This thing only works with TI chipsets. its really a great unit.. if you have the chipset.. thats why i am including this card.. 600$ or will trade for other units.

Upgrading from my motu 896 and wanna know which one you would choose?

Hey, just recorded this for a friend of a friend... curious what could be done better.. The song isnt great.. and the instruments, especially drums are sometimes a bit ot of time.. but i didnt write it. or play anything.. so when we did 9 tries and they still couldnt get it right we jsut...

So i am getting tired or the Rode NTK, i love it but i wanna try something else. I sold my rode so i now have about 350$ to spend on a new mic.. My problem with the rode is that its too smooth and nice sounding.. i wanna make rock vocals.. but its just too nice on my voice. I am open to any...

I am looking at upgrading my motu 896 to this fireface unit... my question is.. i have to sell me aphex 207 preamp http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--APH207D -without the digital out.... my question is.. do you think the built in preamps on the firewire.. would do a decent job of subbing...

Ok so i finally got my wharfedale's. The ones everyone is always talking about in these forums. These monitors are big, much larger then my old edirol monitors, But they are still very sexy. And yes... the blue led is a little bright. The construction seems very solid and they have some good...
