I want to record some target practice with a camcorder; its got a tiny stereo mic. I am worried that the gun blast will destroy the mic. The camera will be directly behind the shooter looking over the shoulder on a tripod. The gun puts out about 150 decibels. Any ideas Thanks

I'm looking for a wild drum solo for a youtube video I am editing right now. It just needs to be a mp3 drum solo with lots of banging and cymbals. If someone could post that or lead me to something that I would be much obliged. I also need your word that I can put it on my youtube video Thanks

I was talking to the manager at a pro studio about my up comeing session. He says that they sell the client a hard drive to store all the music on. What does this mean? He mentioned something about 225. Im wondering if he meant two dollars and twenty cents or two hundred and twenty five dollars...

I need a hydrophone to get some sound samples of some underwater apparatus. If I buy a designated hydrophone its going to cost more money than what its worth to me. Perhaps I could make one by water proofing a good ole sm-57 Ideas are greatly appreciated Oh, I heard there is going to be some...

Don’t get me wrong; I love the concept of home recording. It's just that there is no way in bloody hell I can get the sound quality I want in my living room. The neighborhood is just too noisy and the house acoustics are crap. In order to record I have to turn off the fridge and the air...

I highly recommend Taylor guitars, elixer strings, and the RNP. These are tried and true, quality products that are hard to complain about. Go ahead, your turn

I have the ADAT Xt 20. Its a wonderful machine but I swear to the Lord almighty that it colors the sound of my acoustic. I can listen to my recordings and say, "That is obviously a digital recording. What I can do? A} Get the newest Alesis product B} Get better out board converters C} Bypass...

My women really likes it but hates that it is in the living room. I am habitually telling her to not step on the cords and she is habitually stepping on them. I didnt tell her how much teh stuff cost though;)

Everytime I go to Goodwill I see dozens of house speakers for sale for 5 or 10 bucks. If no one buys them they get thrown into the garbage. I am wondering if there is any use for dozens of old speakers.

You know for years I couldn’t figure out why my mixes where so muddy and bass heavy then I found out my monitors were facing the wrong way

Did you know that Fye music stores will carry your cd for 100 dollars. Of course they have it rigged so that they get your 100 dollars and a percentage of whatever is sold. I think it might be worth it just for the sake of seeing my CD in the store. All the independent music stores have gone...

I've come across a few websites that offered gear modification service. I also found a few people that clamed to be able to turn cheap art preamps and compressors into amazing pieces of equipment. What really got my attention was the idea that the NTK could be modified and upgraded with a...

Every time I view new post practically the whole first page is problems with computer recording. "Help me with cakewalk, sonar, plug-ins, no sound, will not record, will not play" What’s the deal? Seems like its a lot of trouble. I’m not overly thrilled with my Adat but its problem free and...
