Hello All, First up, I reckon that this will sound like a dumb question to everyone for which I apologise in advance. My mitigating circumstances are that I'm a drummer. We bang things and they make a noise. So...I have also been playing the guitar on the side for a few years but it's only...

Hello all, I wonder if anyone could help me? I have a soundcraft spirit folio 12/2 and it has begun crackling consistently rendering it pretty useless. I've narrowed the crackling down to channel 9/10 which is one of it's two stereo channels. This channel has become totally kaput - nothing...

Hello All, I have the opportunity to pick up a Soundcraft Folio 12/2 mixer reasonably cheap but am a little concerned that I wont be able to connect it to my audiofile 24/96. Reason I say this is that the mixer has no RCA outputs - everything is 1/4 jack and balanced. The Folio manual...

Hi there, I have the chance to pick up either a Spirit Folio 12/2 (£60) or Spirit E6 Soundcraft mixer mixer (£100) and don't know which one to pick so am looking for any advice you lot can give! Paramount is the quality of the preamps - I want to use it with a mixture of dynamic and condenser...

Hello there, I went and got myself an ART Tube MP Studio V3 preamp fairly cheap off the net and am wondering if I got a dud? My problem is the noise it makes. I've read a lot of reviews and obviously noise came up a lot. I wasn't expecting anything like top or even mid range quality from a...

My bass is making a terrible buzz. A clever man on here said it maybe to do with other electrical appliances that are on the same circuit. I turned everything from the pc to the fridge off to try and prove that theory. The last thing left to turn off (besides the bass amp) were the lights...

Hello, I have a Roland TD12 drumkit which I want to record into cubase. I know I can midi in and capture what I play and plug the midi file into a virtual instrument. But are you able to get the V Drum kits out of the module and into a PC as opposed to playing your midi track through a...

Hello All, Can anyone advise or point me in the right direction - and excuse the novice-ness of the question which I'm sure has been asked many times before. When recording an instrument or vocal through a mixer into a PC is it better to have the gain setting high and the channel volume level...

Hello, I want to record my active bass into Cubase on my PC using the technique of DI'ing the bass on one track and having the amp mic'ed into another track and then blending the 2. Someone on here has suggested using a 2 channel preamp and a Y guitar cable splitter with one jack on one end...

Hello All, I'm here for some assistance and advice on my studio setup, please excuse me if I seem a little ignorant on any aspects I mention! I have cobbled together a home recording setup made up of the following components (mainly things not acquired for the task they're now being used for)...
