Hey guys, In this one, we just had pure fun. The mix isn't great (blame it on the FOH guy...;) ) but it captrues the spirit of the show. It's a James cover (A British band I know nothing about). My friend Itai sings and plays an elctro-accoustic 12 string Gibson, I play the piano, and a girl...

http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/category.cgi?category=515&item=IMIC-USB-PORT&type=store I'm getting a new laptop, and while I don't expect to do any serious recording on it, I'd like a half decent sound card. Did anyone compare it to regular built in crap they have in most...

Here's a bit from the show we had Tuesday night. I played the piano and the singer is a girl named Maya. We recorded the show on to two Minidisk recorders. One got a feed from the FOH mixer, and the other one was a two mic setup that captured the room. The final versions I'm producing are mostly...

Just to test it out before the gig, we tried to record a rehearsal. It was done in a pretty awfull rehearsal studio in Tel Aviv, with nothing but a pair of MXL-1006, mixed into a MiniDisk recorder. I later edited the songs and "mastered" them with Endorphine. This one turned out especially nice...

Hey guys, I have a live gig next week. First time in ages... I would like to make a recording of the show, but the means are very limited. Since I play in the show, I can't really spend any time recording. I also don't know the soundman, and don't know f he'll be willing to make a submix to...

Hi, This one is as different from my previous post as they some. It's a cover of this alternative band that performed in Europ during the early 80s. We didn't actually intend to record it, just rehearse, but we ended up with a full arrangement. The cello-like sound is actualy a Fender...

Hey guys, This is the infamous duet. After a lot of editing, it sounds pretty nice to me, but I'd love to get some feedback on the tune. It is a cover of a Debbie Friedman (Jewish-American singer) song, which I had to record due to reasons which are no longer relevant, nor interesting :). I am...

Hey, I've been working on a project for a few weeks now. I am really getting sick of this song, and really want to finish it. The instrumental parts sit real nice, but the vocals are the major problem. So far I recorded two vocalists, and both of them suck. so I decided on the only resonable...

A few weeks ago I came back from the US bearing gifts, and a Marshall MXL-1006. The mic turned out to be wonderfull, but about two days after I started using it, the mic mount broke in half, just like that. Naturally, I got seriously pissed, and wrote them an angry E-Mail. About 30 minutes (!!!)...

Hey. I just got 10 Meter of quality Klotz cable, and some Neutrik connectors, for my long awaited "Keyboard to Mixer" balanced line, that will be wall mounted, and will save me a lot of problems. However, when I asked the sales person about what DI boxes I should use, he said that Direct Boxes...

Hi, Can a Radio-Shack Impedence Matching Transformer (Hi Z - Lo Z - Female 1/4" to Male XLR) function as a simple direct box? I want to make the connection between my keyboard and my mixer balanced, and these transformers seem cheaper than "proper" DI boxes, although they seem to be doing the...

Hi, Is the PZM mic sold in Radio Shack these days (30-022, the one with the 1/8" plug) any good? Can it be modified like the old one? Oren

Hello, My new keyboard (Yamaha PSR-GX76) is using both LSB and MSB bank select methods. Does anyone know if there is anyway I could use all my sound presets in N-Track? Oren

Hi People, I'm starting a new project. It's going to be a medley of a few songs (5 or 6, I suppose), mainly a MIDI sequence, with vocals added on top. My question is, if anyone had experimented with rcording a medley, did you find it more usefull/easier to edit to record the song segments...

HI, Here's a question the purists amongst you wouldn't like very much... I am currently using my Aiwa home stereo system for monitoring, which is probobly the most "non-flat" system ever. It's bass enhancing even when the EQ is set totally flat and all "T-Bass" etc. are off. I have two other...

Hey all, I've been playing around with my new condenser (CM90), and although I'm amazed with the sound quality, this microphone produces an awfull hiss that doesn't seem to be environmentally oriented. I never had any similar problem with my old dynamic mics. Any ideas regarding what can it be...

Hi all, I had jus purchased a Nady CM-90 small diaphragm condesner microphone (it's not much, but neither is my bank acoount). Being totally new to condensners in general, and small diaphragm in particular, I need some advice about how to use it well. The main thing I'm planning to do with it...

Hello, I had just returned from the US, with some new stuff. I finally got a "real" mixer (Behringer 602A), instead of the cheapass DJ mixer I used before. The problem is, I'm not sure if my connections are ideal. I hooked it up that way: Main Outs go in the computer's line in. Computer's Line...

Hello, I'm using an old Yamaha PSR-300 as my controler keyboard (since it's the only keyboard I have, and I currently cannot afford a new one). It works just as well as any other keyboard, but it does not have a sustain pedal. My question is - is there any kind of device, that can be plugged in...

Hi All, I have recently upgraded my system to Windows ME edition. Apperantly, the drivers and software that came with my good old AWE64, are not compatible with Windows ME, and I had to use the drivers that came with the Windows CD. The thing is, the AWE control panel, that came with the card...
