We have no money and we need at least 12 channels. Would the Behringer Eurorack UB2222FX Pro be a good choice? http://www.music123.com/Behringer-Eurorack-UB2222FX-Pro-i84237.music Thanks

I just bought an Alesis D4 drum module for playing live and possibly recording in the future. After I played around with the built in sounds I realized that I have .wav samples on my pc that blow most of these sounds away (drumkit from hell being one source). Is there a cheap and easy way to...

I have a bunch of vintage studio gear I'm starting to part off and sell for a little extra cash. I just put this Orban De-Esser up on ebay. This is my first ebay listing, check it out if you're interested! http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...item=7343783604

My band Forget Forever just released our first EP yesterday. Does anyone have suggestions on how to get some exposure? We're in a couple local shops and signed up to the major music websites (myspace, audiostreet, pure volume etc.), but nothing much beyond that. We're pretty broke after pressing...

I've been hired to convert a 10 track record to disc for someone. I'm a generally competant recordist, but converting from vinyl is new ground for me. Does anyone have experience with this procedure that can give me some essential tips?

Hey guys. My bands ep is being pressed as we speak and I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone on the boards for their help on this one. I've learned more from you guys than anyone or anywhere else. We have a free mp3 for download at http://www.forgetforever.com in the audio...

I'm going to be sending my bands cd out for pressing this week. The problem is, I'm at the mastering stage and I need help getting the last 1 or 2 db volume I'm shooting for. We need the extra loudness to stack up to other metal bands. Right now I'm using waves linmb and L2 to compress the mix...

I need help deciding on the superior mix for this track. This will be the opening song for an EP my band, Forget Forever, has been working on for about a year now. It's all self recorded and mixed. I've been lurking for a long time on these forums, and I know this is the place I want to go...

I lurk around on these boards almost every day just to soak up knowledge, but today I'm hoping for some help. My band is in need of a 2-channel vocal compressor for live shows. We've always used software to process vocals until this point, so I wanted to ask what rack compressor would be the...

Our band is recording their first cover to incorporate melodic vocals. The song is called The End of Heartache by Killswitch Engage. The problem is we've tried recording the melodic parts with the back-up vocalist and the primary vocalist, and while they can sing much better than I can, they...

We're tracking metal vocals using an sm58 through a dmp-3 pre (we also use a sp b1). The problem is our lead vocalists tracks keep coming out sounding slighly, well... under water. We were originally tracking in the closet and while bringing him out of it helped, it didn't solve the problem. He...

This is my first condenser. I just unplugged my sm58 and plugged in the b1, but I'm not geting any sound out of it. Am I missing something here?

For vocals how far should the pop screen be away from the mic, and how far should you be away from the pop screen? I'm using an SP B1

I saw a link around here somewhere for a shop that sells sound dampening blankets for around $20. They were around 5x6 feet I think. I could use a couple of these. Does anyone know where I can find them online?
