    Help identifying Shure Microphone...

    I got this Shure mic in a trade a few years back and I can't seem to find a model number on it anywhere. It doesn't look exactly like my current SM58's or PG58's. Can anyone help me identify this? Thanks in advance.

    Which interface for recording drums?

    I have been using a Tascam US-1800 for the last year to record our drummer and I was very pleased with it. A few weeks ago it went out on us and the warranty had just ran up. I am needing something new to record drums now but money is tight. My budget is around $300 but I'd much rather spend...

    Tascam US-1800 not working anymore?

    I have used a Tascam US-1800 for a little over a year. It has worked great for me with no issues until last week. All of a sudden as I was working on a project, the sound stopped. I checked the device on the computer and it did not seem to be recognizing the device. Since then I have tried...

    New computer for recording?

    Last night my computer, which is a Dell E531 died on me after more than 5 years. I used this computer only for recording so I am in a bind right now. A good friend is works with computers and can put one together if I tell him what parts I would prefer for a recording computer. Can anyone...

    Need better hihats for recording?

    I have been trying to record our drummer for the past month and have not been happy with the overhead sound yet. The hihats always sound really annoying. We have used 3 different sets of mics including Sahiaman Little Blondies, Audix f15's, and Cascade Fathead ribbon mics. The hihats we...

    Should I go through my mixer to record??

    I have been doing my recording through a Tascam US-1800 and have been happy. I have read that the preamps are not that great though. I also have an 16 channel Allen and Heath Mix Wizard mixer. Would I be better off running everything such as drums through the Allen and Heath and then out to...

    Over the last few years I have filled up my 250 gig hard drive that came with my Dell. I am looking to get another drive and someone on another forum suggested getting a Solid State drive. Can anyone comment on this and direct me to a specific brand/model? Thanks in advance!

    Too much high end in overheads?

    I am putting together a demo for my cover band and everything is sounding good to me except an unpleasant sound that I believe is in the high in somewhere. In the final mix, the cymbals seem to have too much presence and take over the track. I have to turn the overheads down to where you can...

    Needing opinions and advice for kick drum recording...

    I am trying to make some rough mixes before recording a demo of my cover band. I am concerned with the kick drum recordings and that it may not sound the best. I use an ATM25 on the inside of the kick and I think this position sounds best but is still lacking. I have posted an unprocessed...

    Problem with my Audix F15 overheads...

    I have been using a set of Audix F15's as my overheads for drums for the last longest. Last night when we went to record, I noticed that one of the mics had a low level of noise to it. It wasn't super big but it was showing more gain on the meter than the other, which had very little. The...

    Do I need a DI box for recording bass?

    I am slowly working on getting all of the elements sound right with my band's demo recording. So far, I think the bass guitar sound is lacking. The bass player uses a GK 1001RB head and we have been running the direct out straight to the interface (Tascam US-1800). To me, it sounds really...
