Hi, I've been saving up my questions and been waiting for a good moment to unleash them to you guys... they're mostly of the practical kind. 1) room dimensions. I'm not sure what size a room must have in order to be comfortable. I know larger is better, but what a (comfortable) minimums ? Eg...

Anyone any ideas what should be the specifications of caulk used to seal of gaps in studios ?? Eric Desart told me no silicone-based things, because they act as a spring, but something a bit stiffer... any links, pictures ??? Herwig

Since we Europeans can't find the 703 panels, we have to look for alternatives, and to make things worse, all companies have completely different product lines in *each country* ... sigh :mad: :mad: So I found this company in Belgium which has alot of diff stuff, unfortunately without...

Hi y'all, this is my first post on this mixing clinic.. Been reading/learning alot on this board. this is just a quick and dirty cover of Richie Beirach's beautiful song 'Elm', played on bass. 'tWas just to wear new strings a bit, try some weird chords and did it all in under 1.5 can be found...

Sorry for dumbass question Say I want to split a signal coming from a microphone (for live recording). One end going to the mixing board, another to my recorder. I know simple splitting can be done by just wiring a second microphone cable to the first one. But now, phantom power. I would love...

I've been reading alot about all kinds of acoustical treatments, but the plans for Ethan's Bass Traps kept me puzzled for a while, until... We just bought this huge living room chandelier, so I was to find a solution to hang this thing from the ceiling. When searching all kinds of hooks...

I got an interesting link in the Acoustics Yahoo Newsgroup about something completely new for me: "Early Sound Scattering" (ESS). The idea is to diffuse your sound from the monitors as soon as they leave the (soffit mounted) speaker. check this out Any comments or thoughts ? Herwig

Hi, I don't know if there's a lot of Mac users in the forum... A friend of mine -Mac only- is thinking of going mobile with his rig. He's thinking of buying a 1GHz powerbook with Hammerfall DSP system and multiface, in addition to his Yamaha O1v mixing desk + Behringer desk. Goal is to be...

Hi y'all, I've been reading this forum for quite some time now, but never (dared to) participate.. First of all, introducing myself: I'm a young bass-player, I play for a living, and always had homerecording as a hobby. Little by little however, this is getting more than a hobby, and I'm doing...

I'm sorry if this was asked before, but a search on tube, microphone and preamp gave me too many results.. IS it a bad thing to have 2 tubes in your signal path (or more, as I think of it, eg. tube compressor) ?? I think I read it's not a good think, but would it hurt ?? I'm surely gonna buy a...

Hi y'all, A friend of me had a batch of about 30 metres digital cable (ISDN) lying around, and gave it to me if I could use it. It's described here, but I'm not that a technical guy. AFAIK it's 8 x [ 2 wires with 1 ground but wrapped in aluminium] + 1 big braided shield thing. Would this be...

Been reading alot about these "which cable is best". I still have to see what I can get here in Belgium, Canare or Mogami, but I still have some questions.. 1) for mic cables always use quad cables ?? (I'm talking demostudio here, tight budget, tight recordings :D ) 2) soldering ... I wanna...

A friend has his "AKG Drum Recording Set" for sale including a D112 and 4 AKG C418 snare/tom clips. I know I want to have the D112 (never used second hand €150 reasonable price ?), but I'm having my doubts on the 418s... I never actually saw *anyone* using them on toms or snare.. Maybe I'd save...

Hi y'all, I'm in the stage of buying my first 'real' monitor speakers, and was actively looking at powered speakers, but then my eye fell on the Event 20/20passive + Samson Audio Servo 260 combination, which'll cost me (1255-(466+255)=) €534 (=$522) less then the 20/20bas version.. Could I go...

Hi Y'all, I am considering dumping my old Guillemot ISIS and was reviewing a bit the market for a new sound card. Today my eye fell on the DSP24 series of cards, and the System III got my attention. I'm looking for a card in the 8 I/O category, preferably with some preamps, thus not needing an...

Where would the 19" format come from ? Being a metric user 48.26cm doesn't make any sense for me, but would anyone know where/how the 19" format got such a standard ?? Was there any bigsize company that used it alot ?? Anyone ? GrtZ, Herwig :confused:
