I use seven or eight mics on a three-piece kit. I could probably upgrade my overheads, but this actually sounds pretty awesome so I'll leave it as is for now and buy some better preamps. Snare (Top): AKG C114 Snare (Bottom): SM57 Kick (resonant): AKG D112 Kick (inside) Shure Beta 91 *only...

Hi, I just got my Blue Kiwi mic and I love it. I'm currently running it through a RME Fireface 800 and it sounds amazing, but I was wondering what preamps others might pair it up with for an awesome sound. I'd like to get something of top-quality (far better than my RME's preamps). I'm...

Upgrade? What did you upgrade to if you don't mind me asking? I have an RME FF800 and I've been very happy with, but I always like to know what the next step could be. Thanks!

cool. i mainly do drums. i can play a little guitar bass and piano, but drums are my main deal. i listen to the walkmen a lot.....indie rock stuff, classic rock, some jazz. etc.

my kit i play a small kit: ride, hihats, snare, kick, and floor tom. No other cymbals, but sometimes i add my 12" rack tom back into the mix. it just depends. it's great because it takes way less time and space to set it up, it's easier to mic, and it is often seen as more impressive to...

did you make that diffuser panel with all of the woodblocks? did you make that diffuser panel with all of the woodblocks? how'd you do it?

Close Mic Mic everything and then addd reverb using plugins later. I think it could work out well for you. The more and more I record I stop worrying about the little things....just ry it and see if you can make it sound good. If you can't you know better next time. I just hope you live...

i've noticed a huge difference between a firepod and a RME Fireface 800. I'm not sure where the Saffire falls in line with the Firepod though..... however, one positive on the RME's side is that its drivers and technical support are fantastic. i run vista 32 and it's the only piece of...

Tall monitor I have an HP monitor that swivels so you can switch between having it setup vertically or horizontally. If that's what it is.....then good monitor purchase, dude! I love mine. It has a really nice glossy finish on the panel and looks great. You have to watch though the...

awesome your room really looks awesome. is that laminate flooring or hardwood? it looks really shiny.....if its laminate, did you treat it with anything? i just installed laminate floors in my studio and i love the way they look but i'd like them to be shiny like yours. anyways, awesome...

i think the framing is just on the back. so the 703 sits on top of it. they're actually kind of cool because they are sort of open backed and sort of backed with wood. are these going to be part of the cloud or is that yet to be built?

Hi, What would be the desired place for a BBE 882i Sonic Maximizer in a home studio? Would it make sense to hook one of these up between the outputs on my interface and my monitors?

oh....and thank you all ofr the kind comments. i think i started to hear this song one too many times and needed some second opinions.
