The monitors aren't touching the desk at all. There's a whole in the desk left and right where I put my monitor stands in (see pictures below for which stands I use). You think adding extra pads on these stands will help? I thought this set of monitor stands were already desgined to prevent...

Thanks for all your advice, some real helpfull and interesting stuff. I tried out some more things and discovered that the ring/resonation/muddy tone is gone when you sit on the floor (the breaking point is when your ears are lower than the monitors). As long as my ears are on monitor-level or...

I recently found out that some bass notes resonate real loud and muddy in my room. I first heard it on David Bowie’s Heroes but since then heard it on different songs and I found out that it’s always the D-note that's causing the buzz/resonance/.... Putting an acoustic panel right behind both...

Wow, thanks everyone for all the advice. As a newbie I'm learning a lot on this forum, the internet told me so many different things that I couldn't tell wrong from right. And it's getting clearer now if I combine all the things I already knew with what you guys said. Decided to buy the...

Thanks all for your insights. It's not that I would need all the 24 inputs all the time. But 8 was very limiting. Since I'm also willing to track bands playing live (and I'd like to use +/-6 mics on drums only). @sweetbeats answer is very helpfull. Going to look into that. Are there any...

Quick, simple question. But I want to make sure I'm correct before I'm spending the money. I can get my heads on a cheap 2nd hand Mitec the joker VarydeskIn. But I want to make sure that I can use it in my setup. So, can I connect the Mitec the joker VarydeskIn to my Behringer UMC1820 which is...

Up until now I recorded music through an audio interface (the Behringer UMC1820) straight into my computer. I also got a Behringer Eurodesk SX2442FX, which I'm only using as a PA for rehearsals. Now I was wondering if there's a way to connect the Eurodesk with my computer so I can use it for...

I can maybe move it one foot to the front, but not much more (since it will be blocking the way to the other room), so looking for another, better solution Thanks! Great answer. Going to look into some acoustic panels tonight. The low ceiling is indeed the biggest flaw of this room. It doesn't...

Didn't think that was important, since I'm mostly talking about how it sounds in the room and not specific on recordings. (also: there's a bass amp and a vox ac15 in the room as well, but you can't really see them on the pictures.) But still: Bass: DI Guitars: Shure SM57 Vocals: Shure SM58...

I've got a 2-room space in my basement which I transformed into a rehearsal/DIY studio. The small room is my studio setup, the big room (from which you see photos underneath) is the space where we rehearse with my bands. And where drums and guitars get recorded. The walls are all covered in OSB...

I’ve been reading and learning a lot over here. And now I can finally share my basement-studio. It’s not purely a studio it’s atleast as important for me to go there and practice instrument, write songs,... without having to move or plug in different things. My camera is not very good, in real...

After taking everything here in account and considering a lot of other options. I went with exactly your suggestion. They arrived today and seem to work fine/do what they need to do. Will be a coupe of weeks until everything is set and the first full-band rehearsal will happen. But thanks to...

Not planning on micing the guitars (unless it's an acoustic) when I'm using this PA/speakers. Looking into your suggestion though, since I found quite a bit of comments/bad reviews on the other 2 specific models that were said here. Thanks a gazillion! My studio/rehearsal room is taking shape...

It's purely for rehearsing live with my bands. In the other room I do have monitors (Yamaha HS 7's) hooked up on my audio interface for recording. I should've made that clearer. Doesn't have to be world-class speakers though. The only things is we tend to play rather loud, so they should go...

I bought a Mackie Vlz 1402 as PA-console for my new studio/rehearsal space in the basement. Its main goal is amping up the mics and my synth for rehearsals + I also want to be able to play songs through bluetooth (which I probably will be doing by hooking up my old cd-player to it which has...
