Alrighty. Had a thread last week a little similar. I have access to another computer with an mbox which i want to use the spdif out into my Onyx 400f to get two more channels of input. The computer running the mbox has pro tools LE while the comp with the onyx runs Cubase. I use the cubase one...

Howdy. So i use a Onyx400f. i like it. Very much. I'm considering taking our relationship to the next level infact. I want to watch it be invovled with another interface. Enter Mbox, a cute little lady with everything in the right spot. Now, i notice these two have connecting parts, of course...

Howdy. Just been thinkin a few things over in my mind. Would it be a better idea to use more preamps that are different on a recording than one type for all instruments. I mean, will using one preamp for pretty much every channel start to build up similar sounds and frequencies muddying up the...

Howdy, after a little more help from anyone kind enough to help out. It's a track of my band's that i've recorded. It's also the first thing i've recorded that hasn't been three mics in the band room. Gladly take any suggestions and comments on the mix. I think the electric guitar is a touch...

Howdy again, still new to this whole mixing thing but i've been finding everything coming off somewhat muddy as hell. Been playing around with some eq stuff but i just seem to be using an exciter a lot, which, yes helps, but i can't imagine it being the best practice in mixing. Any ideas? Is it...

Hey there all. Looking for a touch more advice here. Im in the process of buying some gear, I have my mackie onyx 400f sitting at home with a couple of mics and i;m waiting on another pay check to pick up somse monitors. Just a quick question regarding bass, how (would you guess) this bass...

Hey there all. Just wondering here, im looking for some overheads for drums. I was pretty convinced i was going to go with the JM27s just because ive heart great things and the price is top. Then i found these packs...

Sorry about comparison thread... but im still stuck on some decisions. Just wondering how the Motu 828 mkII sizes up against the firepod. Im assuming the Motu will win but why? Less latency issues? Better pre amps? Speaking of pre amps, is there a great difference? thanks for any help.

Hey, just wondering what people used for snare (and toms i guess) mics. I was thinking of getting the drum mic holders that clasp onto the shell. Do they have any problems (vibrations doing weird things etc) or are they generally pretty similar to having the mic on a stand? ta

Good day, just wondering if anyone has seen any good deals on firepods around. I know that bayside audio or whatever its called has the free shitty condensers and the HP4 headphone amp, but is there anyone else offering similar (hopefully better) bonuses. and unfortunately i cant get the...

Good day all, im currently selling off a whole bunch of gear, including my old 8 track, to go into some nice computer recording. What i looking at getting so far (mic wise) is as follows. BTW im going to be recording mostly my band (2 guitar, bass, keys and kit) few sm 57s and 58s (already...

Howdy, im looking at purchasing a firewire interface for my laptop. Im also looking at picking up a couple of mics and monitors but thats a whole new thread. Im looking to use the setup to record drums and bass at once, and overdub rhythm guitar, lead guitar, keys and vocals. I just had a few...
