I am putting together a proposal for setting up a studio. I think I am going to try to get pro tools. I am considering getting either the digi 002 or digi 002 rack version. I think these have 4 pres built in so I need to buy four more. I think I can spend about $250 for each of them. What...

I am designing a studio for my school. We are not sure how much money we are going to get. It could be anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000 or more. This is for all the equitment although we already have computers. We think we will be getting a room. If we get a room it will probably be a...

Ok, I am trying to buy a pair of condenser mics. The two I am looking at are the SP B1's and the MXL 603's. I have read that the B1's are good for all around stuff (I would probably be using them on male vocals, martain acoustic, and drum overheads). It seems that the 603's will not do quite...

I saw musicians friend had these soundcards for very cheap. Does anybody know about these. They seem to have a lot of inputs, but I can't understand what they mean when they say this amount of inputs, but really you can only plug in this amount of mics or whatever. Here is the link that has...

My school wants to set up a recording studio. They have asked me to help them decide what to get. I have been asked to make three plans. A low end, middle, and then dream. The low end should only cost a few thousand dollars or less. The dream could go all the way up around $20,000 or even a...

I read a review of the MXL V67G and the person said that they worked well on overheads. I was looking to get a pair of mics for overheads and something for a martain acoustic and vocals. I had never heard of using this mic for overheads. Has anybody else heard/ or tried this? Thanks a lot.

A friend of a friend came over to my friends house where we were attempting to record some drums. He has an amazing martain guitar so we decided to try to record it. I put one gxl1200 condenser on it. I then put it in the computer and added a little bit a effects. We tried to record with 2...

As I type this a friend and I are trying to record a drumset using recorderman's overhead technique. We have them set up like he said. We also have a sm57 on the snare. We built a little windtunnel with rycycling bins, but we are pretty happy with the bass drum. The problem is that the snare...

I think this has been asked before so I tried to search for it, but could not find it. What is the difference between the oktava mc-012 and the mk-012? I am talking about price and sound. Thanks a lot!

I just started jamming with a new drummer. He is not very good, but he plays the kind of music I like and he is a nice guy. He almost always plays the same beat. What should I do so he gets better? Any good websites or something?

Right now I have an mr8. I am thinking about getting a Yamaha mg 10/2 mixer. That way I could get some condenser mics and have more inputs for recording drums and guitar live together. The problem is that I wouldn't be able to edit the individual drums because they would all be mixed together...

The 990 is about half the price of the 603. What do people think of them. Which one would you suggest I get. I am on a tight budget so take that into consideration. I would probably be using them for drum overheads, vocals, and on a Martin acoustic guitar.

I have a Yamaha DGX-202 keyboard. I am thinking about getting Native Instruments B4 organ plugin. An important aspect of the sound is having a volume pedel. It doesn't appear that my keyboard has in input for one. I want to plug the keyboard into the computer with midi. Is there anyway I...

Anybody have any suggestions on how to get this type of bass drum sound. Mics, placement, tuning, heads, beater type, EQ? Listen to the song called all hands against his own. I guess the white stripe's bass drum kind os sounds like it too. Thanks a lot Here is the link...

I just recorded a jam on a vf160ex. I am having trouble putting it on the cd. Please help me by telling me what to do to put the music on the cd. I have looked through the manuel but it hasn't helped

OK so what exactly is gating. I think it has something to do with stoping bleed. Does anybody have some links to somewhere that explains what gating is and how to use it? Thanks a lot!

I am looking for some software that shows me which frequency something is occupying. I have heard some people talking about some freeware that does this so can anybody reccommend something to me? Thanks a lot.

I have made some recordings on the mr8 and they have a ton of fuzz. My latest one used a bass recorded direct, an amp close miked and drum loops. When I listen to them with good headphones I hear a ton of fuzz. I listen to other people's mr8 projects and I hear little fuzz. Any ideas? You...

I have heard that snare buzz can be caused by drums being tuned at frequencys that make the other vibrate. I have heard that sometimes you need to retune one of the drums, but here is my problem. All of the toms make the snare buzz. All four of them. Even when I hit the snare it makes itself...

I want to get some moniters fairly soon, but I don't have very much money to spend. What ais the cheapest moniters that I can get that are still decent. Is there a point were it would be better to just use my stero speakers for now and then get a little better moniters later. I just got some...
