I have been getting a wooshing noise from my condensers lately; it sounds like someone is blowing into the mic even though the room may be silent. Are my mics busted or is this at all normal? any info would help thanks

I am looking for drum overheads and saw that Musicians friend was selling a pair of Akg C1000s for about $300. I did some research on them and recieved mixed reviews about their preformance: some said they were great overheads, and others said they had a hideous sound. Are they bad microphones...

I am planning on recording drums with three microphones. I have a shure beta 52 for the kick, but dont have any condensers for overheads. I have a budget of about $500-700 for the overheads and would like to know what mics would give me a good sound in that price range. I hear that the AKG...

I just got a Teac 38 8 track and i am getting no signal on playback. While recording, the VU meter jumps up and down while I talk into the mic, but when I play back nothing happens. I know that the problem does not lie with the 8 track because when I bought it we went through each track to make...

What are your thoughts on using the tascam TSR-8 with the tascam M-512 mixer? Is it possible to record 8 tracks simultaneously? Would this be a good start for a personal studio? thank you M

I have a few, probably stupid questions, about recording with a multitrack. First off I am looking at buying a Teac 38 1/2 inch 8 track, my question is are there panning knobs on the tape machine itself ? I understand that you record into the tape machine, but do you need to send the tracks out...
