Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but... I am trying to improve the headphone monitoring at the studio I have just become the engineer at. Basically, the wall box in the live room has 8 jacks wired in parallel (each in series with a 100ohm resistor presumably to prevent...

Anyone tried the M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8R? I'm considering this instead of the Tascam us-1641 because of the extra monitoring options but can't seem to find any testimonials. I'm using Sonar 8 Studio.

Anyone using the us-1641 with Vista 64? Any problems?

Honest answers please... How reliable are acoustic drum triggers i.e. how much false triggering can I expect form say ddrum pros?

OK, this question has been bugging me for a while, namely as a very broad generalisation how much better are branded mics compared to those familiar looking no-name types? For sure, a £40 mic probably isn't going to sound as good as £200 mic, regardless whether it has a name on it or not (then...

We need to acquire some circum-aural closed back headphones, primarily for tracking. Much as I'd like to buy 5 pairs of Sony MDR-7506 the budget won't stretch to this. Anyone recommend any good ones at a lower price point?

New version of the 2488 with added mastering tools. Got to say I much prefer the new look to the blue though if I can get a good deal on a MKII it's not gonna be a deal breaker! http://www.dv247.com/news/2488neo%20Digital%20Portastudio%20Announced%20by%20Tascam/131855 (details also on the...

Hey all, Has anyone any experience of using this material (or simaler) to reduce sound coming through brick walls? http://www.studiospares.com/Acoustic-Screens/Sound-Stopper-Acoustic-Panel-2M-X-12M-X-14mm/invt/465000 Ben

Hello all, It seems I may have outgrown my trusty Tascam 2488 and assorted boxes. We pretty much maxed out all 24 tracks when recording the new album and so it's time to trade up. I currently have a Dell Inspiron 6400 notebook (Core Duo 1.73GHz, 1GB Ram, 120GB 5400rpm HD etc) which I've mainly...

Perusing through a trade catalogue I've just come across this device from Belkin: http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=249832 It allows you to transfer data between USB storage devices without using a PC. Now I'm wandering if it could be used to backup a Tascam 2488's...

The title may sound a little crazy but hear my out... I am planning in recording a old Peavey Bandit 65 by patching the Pre Amp Out through a H&K Red Box. In order not to annoy my neighbours I need to mute the sound coming from the speaker. I can do this by inserting a dummy cable into the...
