Thanks guys, M10K, it's not at all that I don't know where to start. I know of several things that would probably work just fine, I just wanted to know any techniques that I might not think of that some of you guys have picked up over the years. I'm a recording industry student (so this is not...

I've got a session coming up that I'm recording a Fender Twin Reverb slightly overdriven. The guitar is a Epiphone hollow body. The style of music is a combination of Jazz, Blues, and maybe a slight bit of Rock. Here's what I've got to work with in the studio.. Sony DMX R-100 console...

Thanks you guys for the info. Now I've got some kind of idea where to start. I only have two condensers(beta87 & MXL990) so I'll try using them as a pair.

Wow, your awesome man :) I'll definately try that. The piano is close to the corner of the room so I'm a little bit worried about muddy bass build up. I would like more of a mellow sound. Which is how the piano sounds already. The top is hinged too so should I open that as well? Man, I wish...

I haven't tried anything yet because the piano is downstairs so I have to move all of my recording equipment down there. (also I don't have a laptop) And I don't want to keep my setup down there for too long. One idea I want to try is placing the 990 a few feet from the front of the piano to...

Okay, here's the skinny. Yamaha upright piano. Mic selection: MXL990, Shure Beta 87a, Audix OM-2, SM-57. And I'm using an Mbox 2 so I can only use two mics at once.. So given my mic selection, what might some of you guys try? Thanks!

Right now I have my desk & monitors set up like figure 1. I've been thinking about placing the desk under the window though. I just wanted to know if having a glass window in front the desk will introduce any acoustic problems, or since the side walls will be closer to the monitors if it would...

I love you :) Awesome. Yeah, I figured it would be fine. It's just that I recently bought them and didn't want to be like, "Hey what's that burning plastic smell?" or something horrific.

Okay, so I got my monitors (KRK RP-5) from the house and brought them up to school. Unfortunately, I assumed the power cables were in the boxes with the monitors, and of course they're back at the house. (7 hours away) I do however have some power cables lying around that will fit them, but I...

Well, just to follow up I got my Rokit 5's and hooked them up with XLR to TRS cables and they sound great :) Thanks for all your help. Peace.

Okay, I just found something very interesting.. If you go to Behringer's online support page and search for UB802 I found a "Detailed Operating Instructions" page. Here's what I found in the FAQ... Does the mixer have balanced outputs? "The ¼” outputs can be used with either TS (Tip/Sleeve)...

Do you think someone just goofed up on the manual? I only say this because if you download the actual manual for the UB802 on the spec page it says that the outputs are "XLR, electronically balanced"! *some guy in the spec departments typing this thing up* "hehe, this will throw them off.."...

Hehe, that's what I want to know. Maybe they aren't balanced as in not stereo? Meaning that each output sends either the left or the right channel. Cause I'm with you, why would they be TRS, but not balanced? I shoved a flashlight down the control room and main outs and they both look...

Huh, so would it be okay to just connect 1/4" cables into the balanced TRS inputs on the KRK's? Is the only difference between 1/4" and TRS just interference reduction? Or are there any Db differences?

Yeah, I would normally do that but the control room outputs are just TS not TRS. I wish the control room outputs were TRS, because I would definitely use them over the main outs. I'm just worried about the signal quality difference between TS and TRS.
