What if the overhead mics arent the same mic? Does that pose a problem?

My question is this since I am just trying to get used to this program. I know how to edit tracks individualy as far as the time before a song starts. I run from one room to another after I hit start and I am recording my band in the other room. I want to get rid of the 30 seconds before and...

Ok I get that and had a feeling thats what I was supposed to do. (panning the mixer left and panning it right while mixing. Ok now I ask this just to help me understand..... If I am listening to a cd via the computer or even an mp3 or even a radio broadcast, I should then pan the left and...

Ok so far so good..... Now a new question/prob... I have tracks recorded. I have all the sends to stereo for mix down (1 and 2) on my analog board which is connected to a power amp as seperate channels. As I pan the tracks I can hear a change but even if I send a signal all the way left or...

I am going to try some active monitors coming out of my board. The board has balanced 1/4's The speakers have xlr or balanced 1/4's or rca..... Whats the right cable to use with this set up. Guitar, Inst, patch? XLR - 1/4? Rca to 1/4? Which way would you go and what type of cable is...

Hi everyone! I just started on PTMP and Pro tools all together. OK OK digital recording all together is new to me but I am reading and trying hard. I dont think this is actually a pro tools question so I am asking it here. I am just gonna get to it and ask what is very probably a dumb question...

The Ovation CSD225 double neck acoustic? I know it used to be custom order but now they are avail and at a lower price. Just wondering what anyone ones experience might be.

Hi all!!! I have a "not top of the line acoustic/elec" I like the way it sounds when I just play it. I plugged it into the mixer and you dont hear the E, A, D strings as much as you do the other 3 strings. I have tried to adjust but it just doesnt get enough gain of the 3 strings I mentioned...

I was wondering if any of the good recording programs (cubase cakewalk etc etc) have the ability to show the actual notes that are playing or heaven forbid, TABS LOL I am just getting all my new hardware in working order and am going to start to try some programs till I get the one I want...

I have a question about these.... ok, I know nearfield monitors (behringer 2030's) sound better with more power into them. My question is when you dont play them loud are you doing any harm to them?

I have a power amp for my main outs (live room PA system) I have the control room out to the power amp in the control room into passive monitors. All channels spoken for. I love my set up so far but want to add floor monitors for when my band practices. So I can just run any aux out L&R into a...

Hi all!!! Todays problem is..... I have a mixer (behringer mx3282A please no booing) I use it to record and for my "live" room. My question is this, can I use the aux outs to set up another monitor? The manual isnt that detailed and I am pretty new to all this. I have a power amp set up for...

If a drummer I'm recording doesn't have a big enough hole in their kick drum head, i'll ask them to take it off. i also use a d112, usually i stick it in the center of the kick, pointed directly at the beater. So leaving the front head off the kick drum is ok? And how close do you get to the...

I have read through the site that lots of people like to place their mic inside the kick drum. I have a mic (akg d112) but am having trouble placing it inside. I have a mini boom stand but even that is a little too tall. I know the easy way is to remove the head or rotate it so the hole is...
