Hi there, I'm setting up a radio station type studio to record discussions and to do simulations and I would really like some advice regarding set up / gear. I've looked into it and so far my only solution would be using microphone and headphone amplifiers. I'd need 4-6 mics and headphones for...

Hi there, I've nearly finished a dance track and so far the response has been good when people have heard the unfinished piece. I also posted it and had really good feedback. I'm a bit confused about the next stage. I know my finished piece won't be professional sounding track but should I go...

Hi, I posted a thread a while back but didn't have much response. I'm going to record an acoustic gig which is going to consist of a singer (singing through the Pa) and acoustic guitar (not miked up). I'll use two condenser mics with phantom power and record onto a digital 8 track. I just...
