    connecting everything with a comp studio

    Well... I have no first hand experience with that brand, so I can't really comment on the quality... Don't be afraid of getting the Behringer mixer just because we say they suck. They're not "pro-quality" boards, but it's not like they are totally un-usable and will destroy everything...

    HP + Adaptec problem

    I reccomend I have the same basic setup, and I too got rid of that annoying Direct Cd thing. I reccomend downloading a program called RegCleaner. You can get it at http://www.tweakfiles.com/registry/regcleaner.html It safely lets you remove all the start up stuff you don't need/want. It...

    Calling All Pros! A question about new setup

    Thanks! Thanks Ed! After re-reading your post several times and experimenting I have everything running flawlessly. I'm sitting here staring at this crap in awe. :) ThE POWER! OH ThE POWWER! um... Anyway, if I ever become a big succesful artist you got the gig producing the debut album :)...

    mic tone

    Well... You could maybe get some type of Eq pedal(s) that you could trigger. I dunno, it's an odd question. If you are saying that your overall sound is bad then like Ed said, what mic, what pre etc. etc. -Val

    Calling All Pros! A question about new setup

    LOL Sound advice :) I'd love it if I could afford your services... lemme see... *empties out pocketes* hrmm.... nope.... ;P The sub outs are connected to PT by the way. The direct channel outs are all empty. There is also a patch bay however that has EVERYTHING wired through it, including...

    Yea I hope so. Though I think Ed might be scared off by the Mackie board. ;P -Val

    connecting everything with a comp studio

    You're all set... If those are your expectations then you are all set I believe. You'll obviously have to sub-mix the drums in the behringer, which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. ;) Other than that headache you should be able to make a decent recording. By decent i mean somewhere...

    Calling All Pros! A question about new setup

    Here is the deal... I just arrived in sunny Florida, and to my suprise my uncle has a studio in his house. A few years ago he bought $30,000 in gear, and paid an engineer to hook it up. Long story..., but I'm pretty happy about the situation :) The problem is that I'm completely boggled by...

    what are Good Microphone Specifications?

    As far as specs go... You almost need a degree in acoustic engineering to REALLY sort out those specs. This is especially true when you start to look at S/N data. There are several tricky ways to get specs to look great at first glance. So, like Bruce said, use your ears. You know you can...

    Best large diaphragm condensors for $200 ?????

    heh.... A very astute observation. ;P This is the first time I've ever heard anyone reccomend a Nady. Whatever you do, try out the Nady personally next to a 4033 etc. For $149 your brain might trick you into thinking it sounds like a vintage U87. :) Try to A/B with something you "know" is...

    markers

    Yea I think I think reg is right. My burning software has options for "padding" the tracks. Just cut them up into seperate files and look for the proper settings in your burning software. What software are you using? -Val

    Best large diaphragm condensors for $200 ?????

    Re: Hey Valgrim... hehe well... I' think I'll hang onto it. It may sound like hell, but no one around here knows it. ;) The more "cool" looking mics people see, the more impressive my gear appears. :) -Val

    Best large diaphragm condensors for $200 ?????

    Um If I'm not mistaken the 4033 is a large diaphragm condensor? Your 4033 is far and away a better mic than all of those that you mention. There aren't as many "deals" on large diaphragm condensors as there seem to be. Most of the "pro-sumer" ld condesors that are flooding the market...

    mixer to daw or no?

    All depends... It just depends... Are you going to be recording just one source at a time? Are you going to be working with mainly midi? What kind of quality do you want to achieve? Generally speaking... Your set up is "adequate" for recording. The only thing you'll need to record guitar...
