Brian, By any chance is the Control Room through wall snake an ethernet type cable? I recently added more cable connections to my drum booth via ethernet / CAT 6 type cabling and had the same exact problem. Later found out the standard CAT cable I used through the walls was not shielded type CAT...

When I listen to post 3, it is evident the guitar is being panned to the left with a delayed signal (maybe 40-60 ms) to the (right) opposing side to give the width and side to side fatness.

I work with a Producer who uses the Slate with the modelling software. It basically works, and gives you some change of character in a fast way. It is ok... again... how can I say this... If you are someone who really can live with one mic because you are tracking instrumentation elsewhere...

Has anyone been brave enough to try 2 inline boosters on the same mic? I realize it would have to be a version that passes phantom power through the unit to downstream. Just curious really

I record drums often, often several times a week. The term "Phase" is a term that is a "polarity relationship" between 2 or more audio signals. (in this case anyways) There is no way to know what that is right out of the gate because of how quickly the audio signal flips from positive to...

I think in my drum booth I have about a foot above the suspended clouds but I have almost 10 foot ceilings. I think 5 inches is fine though as it still has sound hit the face of the panel and there is enough gap to absorb the reflected sound into the back as well. I think my wall absorbers have...

Nice! 8 channels of 1073 is a beautiful score! I have 4 channels of 1073 clones and I really like even the clones on everything. 8 channels would be really nice. I assume the other stuff in the rack was pre existing? or.... hmmm?

Nice to see this thread still being alive. I posted here way back in 2006 or so when I was building my studio next to my garage. It has been about 15 years, and I finally took early retirement this year and have been reorganizing and fixing stuff so that I can start back working from the studio...

I had the exact same thing happen with the brand new one I got from Sweetwater. The tubes they bought in bulk had a high failure rate that sometimes even happened after being demoed at Warm Audio.. and became bad along the way in transit. I ended up getting a Sylvania 5751 and that low end...

That's ok Grim... At least I read your post.... and you have a very valid point LOL

To me the sound I hear is air movement like a fan or A/C rumble. Most noises made by mics when they are defective is going to be higher frequency noise like hiss or crackle. Issues like moisture buildup or bad caps will sound like frying eggs...LOL The NT1A has a much broader range of...

I am with Rob on maybe finding a different object to record that gives you a believable sound rather than an ACTUAL sound... so many sound effects start there and have remained there to this day. (Fist strikes, gun shots, etc) A second tact you might take (if your mic has a low noise floor and...

One other thing to consider when going direct, is you often are recording a huge amount of subsonic and extended low frequencies that smear your sound on playback and eat up a lot of headroom. Try using an EQ with a High Pass Filter and set to 30-40 hz and slowly move it up towards 80-90 hz...

Good to have you! I have found recording my playing and listening back to it in context, has been the single most eye-opening way to help me improve my musicianship and technique, besides the fun of recording and song building. Hopefully you get good info from this site. It has been a good...

Bob, It sounds like you have a great start, and to be honest, it is good you want to have fun...LOL It is a learning experience that takes time to understand, much less... get good at it (like learning any new instrument), but just be patient and try to enjoy the ride. I know I do!

Hey all I am selling some of my Studio Microphones to fund some new purchases. I have upgraded over the years and find that while I still find these very useful, I need more of other items than these Microphones. Having said that, I am not going to give these away neither am I going to magnify...

I am on the lookout for a simple drum machine to use as a click track for recording. Ideally it would sound more like real drums than some techno-dance thing. Many folks I record just can't focus on a metronome sound so I need to make some simple drum patterns to have them record to. I am...

Hey guys and gals. I am not a keyboardist, but I hack a few tracks occasionally. I have a big 88 key piano action controller I want to get rid of,and replace it with a smaller 49 to ? key synth action controller with aftertouch.(I have a StudioLogic 880) The reason for the aftertouch is my...

Hey guys and gals, I have upgraded to some nicer converters and I have 2 Delta 1010s (full version) that have had the word clock upgrade. I'd love to find them a new home. At least M-audio has been good about keeping current drivers for them. They are in fine shape. I figure that 1 is good...

Hey all. I have recently upgraded my Converters and am thinking of selling or trading my old converters. I think I only want to sell 2 of the 3 but I am open to ideas. Here is the story. I have 3 Delta 1010 units with the PCI Cards. 2 have had the Word Clock Update allowing them to be...
