    This is so depressing =[

    Hey everyone. I have been off and on here for a while but I built a small studio in my basement which has taken up all my time. It seems like every step I take forward, I take 2 backwards. The latest problem is that I got a brand new HP DV8t laptop to do all my recording and mixing on. I use...

    Building Bass Traps!

    Hey guys. I have just started to build some bass traps using a wood backer with the fiberglass on top wrapped in fabric. My goal is to build one a day. The backer is cool because it gives like a 2'' air gap for more bass absorbtion. The first trap I built was 2 2x4 pieces of oc703. In my other...

    REAPER stubbord or me stupid?

    Hey guys quick question for those who use REAPER. When I try to edit a small area it will not let me. It has like a minimum "cell" that I can edit and nothing smaller. If I want to edit a millisecond I cannot, which leads to problems I can't get rid of. Is there anything I can do to edit freely...

    Owens Corning ruining my life?

    Hey guys. After taking advice from a member on this board I strayed away from creating my studio in this completely insulated area. I was told it was not good to have these insulated acoustic panels all around the walls with no sheet rock. It is also on the ceilings and the floor has carpet...

    WTB Good, Inexpensive, Mic Amp/PA

    Sup guys. I am looking to buy a good, inexpensive, mic amp/active PA. I would use this for practicing with the band so we could hear the vocals way loud over the drums. XLR inputs a must while TRS would be nice but not essential. I intend to plug my SM7B into this and use it cleanly and loudly...

    Soooooo Close To Recording!

    Hey guys! I've learned that with the more stuff I get, the more complications I have. Right to the point though, I have been stuck having to chose between the XMAX pres (FP10) or the DMP3's Pres.

    Microphone feedback. Ouchies!

    Whats up guys. My question should be pretty easy for you guys. I have an sm7b hooked up to my DMP3 which was then hooked up to my amp. When my band would play live, the singing would be way to low, so I would go from the low impedance switch to high impedance. Then, trying to get as loud as I...
