Thanks ace, I'll give that a try. I know Event has been around awhile and has a good rep. Just don't know about the KRK's.

I'm looking into new monitors and would appreciate opinions on these 2 for my small home studio. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Jeyan, What is the silver compound for my processor? Do you think it's better to go with the 500 watt PS instead of 350-400 watt? Thanks again.

I am ready to upgrade my computer for audio recording to a new P4 2.6G possibly with 512 RAM and an ASUS P4P800 deluxe board, 40gig and 120gig HD's, and the Echo Mia soundcard. I've been reading that a good case, fans, and esp. powersupply are important. Any advice as to which case/fans/ps to...

How does this set-up look for recording? I have an Echo Mia soundcard and another 120GB HD I can use. http://www.etccomputer.ca/eShop/default.asp?selection=system&systemid=350

trogdor, thanks for the links. Any suggestions on what to get for recording with CEP? I already have an Echo Mia soundcard. Budget is in the $600-$700 range. Thanks.

I see some people on this board build their own computers dedicated to recording. Are their any reasonably priced builders offering say a Pent.4, 2.5Ghz, 1 Gb RAM w/ 2drives? Seems like Dell and other major co.'s are relatively expensive and make you pay for stuff you don't need like cheap...

frederic, yeah I could do that but was hoping to avoid ripping out and replacing sheetrock. Think I'll try to rubber mount top and bottom (outside in the block and above in the attic) first to see if that does the trick. As for interior sound deadening, what is the best materialto put on the...

c7sus, the sound is like a fluctuating pumping sound, probably the refridgerant like you said. The lines come in through a block wall and run up a perpendicular interior wall. Rod, you are probably right, the lines do enter through the block wall and may even be secured inside that interior 2x4...

Can anyone tell me what the best wall covering material is for quieting AC condenser lines that are run through one of my interior walls? I attached 1"x2" fir strips and 3/4" styrofoam panels between them on this wall and then 1/2" sheetrock over that but still get noise when the AC is on. I...

Harvey, first, thanks for the 2 sets of phones and ext. cable you sent. I compared them (unfairly) to my Grado SR125's. Well, you know the result. But for the money these are great and I plan on using them alot here at home. Definately better sound and isolation that the Technics I have. I...

Thanks for the links and info. guys. Mark, yes I only have one DMP3 at this time. Also the Echo Mia card only has 2 inputs. Think I'll try the MXL603 at the 12th fret and either the SM57 or the 67V at the bridge.

I just bought a 67v off Ebay for $96 with a shockmount, cable,and an adapter included. Haven't had a chance to use it yet though.

I now have an SM57, MXL603s, MXL67V and a Ross dynamic for mics. Any recommendations for a starting point for set-up of these for recording acoustic guitar and mandolin and vocals would be appreciated. That is, distance from instuments, placement, etc. I will be using a DMP3 preamp running...
