I was recently getting one of my recording projects mastered at Threshold Sound + Vision by Jeff King. He was telling me about how having your monitors and stands makes the hugest difference in how well your mixes will turn out. I looked into it and I can get a pair of KK audio stands for 50...

I have two optical cables, one that has a sort of square piece on it that makes it fit into all my pro audio gear, and another that is just the same size as an 1/8" jack. Are these two totally different types of optical cable or is there some kind of adapter i can put on 1/8" one to make it fit...

This is just an easy yes or no... In my rack I'm connecting my preamp (balanced XLR out) directly to my computer interface (1/4")with a very short XLR to 1/4" unbalanced cable. Am i losing signal quality by connecting it with an XLR to 1/4" cable instead of using an XLR to XLR cable with an...

Hello, I need some new PA speakers and I found these used from looks like the late 70's/80's. Does anyone know if these are any good or what I should pay for them? I know Cerwin Vega stuff is generally nice, but i don't know if that is the case from this time period. Thanks a lot, T

hello, As you may know, i got a drum set from Conaway drums in texas. They sound pretty good so far... I put new heads on them but i dont like the heads and am gonna get some different ones. I have a question - I got the Keller birch shells, but these drums are SUPER light. Probably the...

Is there a way to take all of my edited tracks (bunches of segments and crossfades) into their own individual continuous tracks? I don't mind having them how they are, but wherever there's a spot in a project where theres a lot of crossfades or edit points my computer will start having problems...

I've always done my compression after tracking sending the original track through the output and running the compressed signal back in. I've always just 'lived with' hearing the original track while hearing the new track being recorded. How do i make it so I can't hear the original track at...

Amazing! I know a girl who's father, John Van Nest owns Image recording studio in Los Angeles. She took me there and it was fuckin amazing! I got to meet him, and his partner Chris Lord-Alge. I had very nice conversations with the both of them. The studio was amazing and he even listened to...

hello, I'm selling some items on recycler and I've gotten a lot of responses from people, and a lot of them sound really sketchy. I've gotten a bunch from 'africa' talking about their plan to make the deal and i just ignore these. I have also gotten a lot of responses talking about shipping...

I'm now a senior in high school and am looking at colleges. Recording engineering is something I really want to pursue. I applied to the Conservatory and got in, so now my question is what are your guys' thoughts on the school? Have you heard good/bad things? Will it help me? Also does...

I JUST had to kick a band that I'm recording out of the studio because my computer couldn't keep up. They're paying me and this is a BIG problem. So far there's only about 14 tracks per song layed down, wiht a decent amount of fades, and four send effects being used. I'm running this all on...

Hey guys, I was hoping you all could help me find a place to get a double bass drum kit. I want something that will sound good but be under 1k. (not mahogony or basswood) I was looking at the Yamaha stage customs, but it's hard to find it with the standard sized toms and to get a second kick...

Does anyone know where i can find a clean image of the circular numbers that go on an LA2a behind the gain and peak reduction knobs? I need the image so i can use it on decal paper to put on my home project. Any suggestions are much appreciated Thanks, T

hey guys, Here's my latest project. Tell me what you think about the mix, etc. All comments are very appreciated. I'd like to make any changes you guys think would be necessary before i give them the final product...

Hey guys, I have a power connector that i'm putting in my LA-2a and all it says on it is ground, L, and N. I'm guessing that L means live (+) and N means Neutral (-). am i right on this? I just want to know which is positive and negative. Thanks, T

Is it possible to use an Akai dps12 (with optical output) for its 6 channels of preamps and converters thru ADAT? Items like the Steinberg VSL 2020 have ADAT lightpipe connections. So basically what i'm asking is can you use the 6 individual channels of the 12 track as digital converters for...

Hey guys, In quest of fun and lack of boredom in summer i decided to build my own LA2a. I have most of the parts now except for a couple. Does anyone know where i can get a UTC A-24 output converter? And where is a good place to find a VU meter? If anyone is interested i got a book on it...
