Up to now, I've been communicating with the tracking room via the PHONES socket on my Behringer Eurorack MX2642A However, I'm aware that some (most?) people cue using the aux sends. But the aux sends on my desk are mono i.e. when I plug my headphones into one of the aux sends, it only comes...

what are the advantages / disadvantages of using a stereo preamp versus using two mono preamps? And what's "stereo-linking"? Cheers

I just bought a second hand MFB Synth Lite. I attached my Oxygen 8 to it and no matter what note I play or how I set the filters, the synth plays a background "G". That's the note of G below middle C. Hence playing any G or any C anywhere on the keyboard sounds fine but play a note that's not...

I have a pair of Genelec 1029A active monitors and am considering buying the subwoofer to go with them. But how should I connect it? I have a Behringer MX 2642A desk and an Audiowerk 2 card. At the moment the two outs from the card go into the desk group ins. How would the signal get split into...

Is there a way to isolate the soundtrack to a DVD so I can burn it to CD? I have a macintosh G4 computer, running OS 9, which has a DVD burner in it.

If I am recording using a spaced pair micing setup and I want light compression on both mics, would the serious studio engineer use two seperate compressors as inserts on two seperate channels on the mixing desk or are there compressors out there capable of dealing with two inputs and which have...

When, during the process of producing a song, should one "normalise"? Is it wise to normalise everything straight away or at some other time (like at the end of recording a certain instrument)? The reason I ask is this. Imagine I record one guitar sequence. I chop it in the sequencer and have 2...

I apologise in advance for my ignorance but what does a "Word Clock" actually do? I'm told this is a good one. But I don't know what it does?

I need a 19" guitar tuner that can do acoustic instruments too i.e. acoustic guitars with no output as well as electric gtr (and preferably bass too) Can anyone recommend a model for a professional studio?

I'm recording an a capella outfit at the moment. For example, at the moment I've been recording 5 singers with two mics. Later, I'll do it properly (i.e. one singer per track) but at the moment it's two mics: a Neumann TLM103 and an AKG SolidTube. The boys (bass, contrabass and tenor) mostly...

I presently have a 2 in/ 2 out sound card from emagic and I am looking around for an upgrade. I need an 8 in 8 out card lwith an external AD/DA converter ike the MOTU mk2/3 or the Aardvarkq10 etc etc. - the reason being, I'd like to record drums with a track per mic. (as you can imagine, trying...

A singer says she has a very loud voice & thinks this will cause problems when she comes to record in my studio. I have a Nuemann TLM 103, an AKG Solidtube, a Sennheiser 421, a Shure SM57 and a kick drum/Tuba/bass mic Does anyone reading this think it really could be a problem?
