Hi, i'm putting up a modest home studio, and have been reading a lot about the acoustic treatment - absorbers, deflectors, bass traps and everything.. the room is going to be for both recording and editing/mixing (computer station). room size is about 3x3.5 meters. although i found a lot of...

Hi, i wanna start using a daw and an interface, and currently using win xp. i'm thikng about moving to win 7 and wanna know if you think i should install 32 or 64 bit. or maybe i should even stay with xp? these are my specs: Mobo: Gigabyte G31M-S2C CPU: Intel Pentium 4 650 3.40GHz RAM: 4GB...

Hi, i'm getting a focusrite saffire pro 24 and it has 2 mic inputs. i wanna be able to record vocals and acoustic guitar with 2 sdc's on the guitar at the same time, thats 3 mics. So i figured that now i have two options: - Get a single channel mic preamp for vocals and use the two that i'll...

Hi, when i record vocals, should i be monitoring myself with reverb or not? What's the most common way of the two? I'm trying to decide between two audio interfaces when one has an onboard reverb and the other one doesn't. If i wont have the onboard reverb, would i still be able to monitor...

I understand that the Pro 24 has the DSP feature, so i can run stuff like reverb and limiter on the onboard chip and i wont have any strain on my CPU like with a DAW plugin. My question is if those onboard effects can only be used while recording or can i also apply them after the tracks had...

Hi, i'm looking into the KEL HM-7U and the HM-2D, and i wanna find out what are the sound differences between them on vocals. I'm looking for a male singing vocal comparison between the two, and i haven't been able to find a good one. I prefer the comparison to be something more acoustic and not...

Hi, can anyone identify this mic? At first i thought it was the Shure KSM353 but then noticed it has a thin line just below the grill, the Shure doesn't have that.

Hi, in most James Taylor older videos you can see him using this mic (in the video), it sound very good IMO, even when he talks a bit far from the mic, it sounds good (so maybe its a condenser?). Can anyone identify the mic? also, any modern equivalents? (if i won't be able to find it or it...

Hi, i didn't know where to post this, so i thought here was the closest category for this. I wanna take my acoustic guitar abroad with me on a plane (hard case), so for you guys who already done it, any tips? Do i take it with me on the plane or does it go with all the luggage in the belly of...

Hi, I'm trying to decide between the Tascam US-800 and the Focusrite Saffire pro 24. I heard that Focusrite's mic preamps have a really good reputation, but the Tascam has more XLR inputs which i prefer. My question is, will the sound quality really be better on the Focusrite? or maybe it...

Hi, i'm looking for a vocal mic and the sound i'm really aiming for is something like James Taylor's old classics. Now, i'm not talking about finding out JT's recording chain, or recording with tape, or anything like that.. I know they used very expensive equipment, and i know that the whole...

Hi, looking for a vocal mic for a home studio, i prefer a warm/thick tone for the vocals. Will be using it for acoustic folk, maybe even light country music (just trying to clarify the music style..). Budget is around 350$. The mics above are some that i found recommandations on. You can also...

Hi, i wanna understand something about mic preamps. Lets take the Pendulum SPS-1 as an example. I noticed that it has 2 XLR outputs on its rear panel, and lets say that i want the signal to get to my DAW after the SPS-1, so do i plug the XLRs from the SPS-1 outputs into my audio interface XLR...

In my search for an audio interface, i realized that in the future i might advance to recording both vocals, acoustic guitar with stereo mics and backing vocals at the same time (with another singer), i figured i'll already get an audio interface with 4+ mic inputes. As it's my first interface...

Need a recommendation for an audio interface, mic, software Hi, i wanna start recording my music, and need a recommendation for some gear. I do mostly acoustic folk, soft rock, slow finger style, maybe light strumming. I doubt it says something about the gear, but i'm looking for "warmth" in my...

Hi, i don't know a lot about recording equipment, and i wanna buy an external sound card and microphone and start recording my music (acoustic guitar + vocals). Now, most of my music influences are from the past (for example, james taylor). So i thought to myself, they didn't have all of these...

Hi, i'm planning on getting a Mbox 2 sound card off ebay and i noticed that most of them come with the Pro Tools 8.0 LE, but the latest version is Pro Tools 9 HD. First of all, what are the main differences between the two, i couldn't find any comparison through google. Also, will i be able to...
