Hey Guys, I'm a college student. Low budget. Just wanted to try some 4-track recording. Heres my gear : TASCAM Porta-02 MKII SM 57 mics Im satisfied with the sound it gives me in micing my guitar amp I use it for vocals though, and I want to get a decent sound,but I cant. Would it make...

I havent gotten the q10 yet, but it is soon coming. I thought I 'd ask some questions before.. Now I wanna record my band playing at the same time 3 mics on drums AT 4033 single overhead sm 57 snare at pro 25 kick -- sm 57 on guitar amp -- bass directly into a high - Z --- I noticed...

Is there a rule of thumb to go by when placing a single condenser overhead over the drums? (AT 4033) I want a well balanced sound, but at the same time I dont want my bright cymbals to dominate the mix. So far I have the sm 57 on the snare and the at pro 25 on the kick.

Is there a need for a mixer, ie Mackie 1402 .. if I get a really good sound card w/ interface? And lets say running a good software mixing program like Cakewalk? Specs: PIII 450 768 MB RAM and lots of HD space.. i'm trying to avoid overspending..

Ok guys, I'm very new at this and very eager to learn. I'm starting from scratch here.. I'm already getting SM-57 to mic my guitar amp, and maybe try it out with vocals and see how i like it. The bass probably will hook directly into the mixer via DI box now for the drums I have a 3 -...

Hey guys, I'm in a band and really got into this home recording this via computer today. I bought a book and all read it. I already placed orders for a few sm 57s. Now heres what I want to ask: Current Specs : Pentium III 450 786 MB RAM Sound Blaster MP3 ( i beleive its 128 bit) Now I was...
