Hey, I'm looking for a little guidance. I was looking at buying a new Korg D series or Roland VS DAW to upgrade from my old D1600 setup. I mix my music in Cubase SX3 but have always tried to stay away from recording to computer for mobility & latency issues etc. Apart from maybe the VS2480...

So I could get a 24 fret neck for my tele but I'm gonna have to move the neck pickup down a little; buy a new scratchplate/pickguard etc. I need a new neck anyway, what do you reckon-should I go for it. I know I can do it, it's getting round to having the time; I know that in 6 months I'll...

I am having trouble working out how best to use the AT4033 when stereo micing an acoustic guitar (x/y position) because of the shockmount. What's the best way around this. I'm pairing it with my Rode NTK (without shockmount). Cheers.

Hi, As with my other post this is of course subjective but in theory what's the ideal environment in which to record acoustic guitar (home recording wise (so lets not get sidetracked into expensive studio talk please)). Is it: -wooden floors, solid floors, carpeted floors, -small room, large...

Hi, I'm trying to figure WHERE best to record vocals. I know it's all down to what your ears like best but ideally where would be the best place to record vocals as deadly as possible. I have a walk in cupboard that has uneven walls, a slanted ceiling as it's in the attic which at it's...

Hi, I can get a pair of either of these for exactly the same price. I was thinking about buying the truths but there don't seem to be any in the country at the moment (probably not in stock for 4-6 weeks) which led me to look at alternatives. Which would you choose?

Hi,. I'm over in the UK and I just want to know how much your paying for a single V67 mic so I know generally what price to be lloking for. the are not widely available over here at all. Thanks, Krystof.

OK, so I've decided that I need to either buy a M-audio/Midiman flying calf D/A convertor or a M-audio/Midiman super DAC 2496 D/A convertor; both 24 bit. Links for those who care: http://www.midiman.net/products/m-audio/supdac.php http://www.soundslive.co.uk/common/moreinfo.asp?ID=1439 I have...

The Shure 57 and 58 are the same mic aren't they apart from the pop shield on the front of the 58 more suited to vocals and the 57 to instruments (generally speaking). If you take the top off the 58 you have another 57 don't you; I just need to verify this. Thanks, Krystof.

Hi, I downloaded the n-track demo and also the spectural analyser from brainspawn. All I want to do is to open up a wav. file in n-track and use the brainspawn as a plugin; I can't work out how I do this. I have the wav.files on CD, I guess I just open them up by going to open wav.file in...

What does anyone think about these units, the ART is half the price of Midiman. I don't want colouring of sound, I just want to take my digital sound from my D16 digital recorder to analogue format without noise and without degrading the sound (or as little as possible). Are either of them...

Hi, I received my Roland jv1080 today and strated playing around with it. I haven't had time to tweak the parameteres yet so just went through the presets; I have to say that on first hearing I was a little dissapointed with the piano patches (I also got a piano pcm card incuded which I also...

Sounsman, I've been reading through the archives and have seen you highly recommend the Lexicon LXP-1; I think I'm going to buy one second hand but I've heard that it can be quite a noisey unit, is this the case? Will the noise vary unit to unit? I could get the mpx-500 but I want plain reverb...

Hi, I am planing on buying a Lexicon lxp1 (which I think is 16bit, right?). I am recording at 24 bit in my Korg D16 and I would be going from the aux out through the lxp1 and back into the D16; is this a bad idea, what are the audio implications? Thanks, Krystof.
