I'm doing Hip Hop & misc voicework for cartoons n stuff.. I've got a Shure SM7b going into an Avalon 737sp going into my M-Audio Profire 610 (which runs via SPDIF into my PCI EMU 0404... long story, but too many complications with firewire). I'm still up-and-coming in the world of audio...

My buddy is taking a little "course" with a studio nearby, and one of the requirements was to get a GOOD computer. He got one, lots of RAM, somethin like 3 GHZ processor, blah blah blah.. Right now, as far as his own tools, all he uses is a EMU 0202 USB and a freakin Sony kareoke mic.. He uses...

I got a Profire 610 a couple months ago and had so many complications using Firewire that I decided to shelf it and fall back on the old Emu 0404 PCI card I previously used. Couple of my friends talked me out of using Firewire, too. It still bothers me that I have a perfectly good Profire just...

Current hook-up: AT4040 ART MPA-II preamp Profire 610 I'm doing a lot of work with pre-mixed instrumentals (and trust me, I'm well aware of and have been facing the hardships of doing so), and recently decided that maybe to help my vocals "stand out in the mix", besides the regular tricks...

I've been using my Adobe Audition 3 ever since I got into recording, as it was a little cheaper than some of the other programs but not TOO cheap, but recently I got a Ableton Live Lite disc with my new Profire 610, and for the heck of it, I installed it and tried it out. The sound quality...

I've spent a good chunk of time upgrading my signal chain.. just recently purchased a Profire 610 and a generic Dynex firewire card and rigged it up to my pretty-average PC.. With all of these advancements I've made and all of the money I've spent doing so, I've become a bit of a quality fiend...

Oh how easy I thought it was gonna be as soon as I picked up a low budget's worth of recording gear/software and hauled it all home. All I'm doing is vocal work over instrumentals and mixing/mastering on easy-to-learn software, how difficult could it be?! It's been about a year of messing...

I'm trying to get an announcing-style vocal track down, and I realized that the voice itself sounds much better/more powerful when I record slightly over a foot away from the mic (I've got a LOUD voice that doesn't quite get its full representation when any closer). Unfortunately, I'm recording...

Being soaking wet behind the ears when it comes to home recording, I went to this chain store to pick up some equipment for some voicework I was lookin to do.. I told the guy I was lookin to do some voicework/broadcasting stuff but didn't wanna leave too big a crater in my bank account.. he told...
