Hey all, So I'm looking for a audio interface with probably 4 inputs at the most that I can use for an "on-the-go" recording setup. All I've got now is a Tascam 1641 which is great but not very portable for me. I've been out of the audio interface game for 4 years now so I'm not really up to...

Hey all, So I haven't recorded much lately, but I am gonna get back into it once college goes on break later this month. One thing I've been wanting to play with is MIDI, since Cubase 6.5 has some great stuff already in it plus I've got Addictive Drums which I've never really used...

What did you put on the back of your bass traps to give them an air gap? I have been looking at a couple of different ways, but haven't found anything yet that visually satisfies me. Like PVC pipe and boards on the back are ok, but I think it's kind of ugly.

...between a 10'x14' room with 8' ceilings, carpet and drywall, and 2 windows, or a 14'x20' room with concrete floors, cinder block walls, 1 window against the far wall, and open ceiling (you know...8' but with just the support beams and stuff showing)...for recording and mixing purposes...

Ok so I'm pretty sure this is possible in Cubase but I haven't gotten It to work yet. Say I'm doing a guitar solo...how can I set the section to loop and record like 4 or 5 passes? I can do the loop easily enough, but I always end up recording over my previous take.

So I'm considering building some of the above listed :) I think I've got some good plans and everything, but the one thing I am unsure of is which roxul to purchase. Do the r-ratings matter when it comes to bass traps? Should I go for 30 or 40 or for lower like 15?

Ok, so I have a huge man-crush on Jared Leto from 30 Seconds to Mars. I find his voice to be one of my most favorite voices in all current bands right now, and like most things people admire, I strive to become like it :D This dude has a crazy range and such, but what I like the most is a...

This is a pretty fun youtube video I found containing the vocal audio only for Under Pressure. :D I wanted to share it because it's fun to listen to and kinda hilarious because you begin to realize how crazy-sounding some of the parts are without all the other instruments! I also think it's...

I'm currently using the KRK 6's and am wondering if it would be a good step to purchase a subwoofer. My room doesn't have real bass traps yet (going to build some rockwool ones later this summer) so that's a problem, but since I'm only using 6's I should go with a sub anyways right? Also...

Hey all, so I'm trying to decide whether or not to buy a Neumann tlm 102 in a few weeks or so (once I've got time to get back into recording! :D). My current go-to mic is an M-Audio Sputnik, so would the tlm 102 be worth getting for vocals? I'd probably just be using it on that and some light...

So I like to run basically all of my audio from my computer through my Tascam 1641 and out my KRKs, even when I'm just goofing around on the internet on Youtube or something random like that. However, I keep having the problem of the computer resetting the default "audio out" to my monitor...

What are your favorite exercises for a fast vocal warm-up? Looking for some tips because sometimes I only get about 5 minutes before I have to sing lol. All I really do now are lip trills!

Hello all, I'm posting this in the Newbie forum because I'm basically a noob when it comes to micing up live events :D So I've got this thing coming up where I need to be micing a children's choir (about 30 kids...they stand in like a rectangle formation three rows deep). They'll be on a...

Anyone here ever use it? I was just reading about it today...honestly never really crossed my mind before! If you do use it, what tracks do you find yourself using it the most on?

Hey Yoad! Thanks for stopping by. :) What is your favorite mic and pre-amp combo? Do you mix at loud levels, low levels, or both? What is the strangest mic-technique you have ever used to record something? Thanks! :D
