I'm looking to see if anyone has a UAD-1 card that they'd be willing to part with. Not a UAD-1e, I already have one and I want to keep my remaining slot open for a UAD-2, but I have two empty PCI slots that I'd love to fill. Just want a card, no plug-ins.

You be the judge: YouTube - ‪Bass Drum Mic Shootout - Shure Beta 52 vs. AT 4047‬‏

So my AT4047 came in, and while I bought it so I can have a solid decent vocal mic, I put it to use as a bass drum mic. I'm a fan of minimal drum mics, so while I have heard of the ol' dynamic at sound hole and condenser 3-4' back trick, I want to do just the AT4047 on the bass drum, without...

Its been a few months since I've been here....I built a new computer and lost all my bookmarks, so I haven't bothered coming. Anyway, I'm back with a gear question. So I'm looking at finally getting a nice solid mic for vocals. My RODE NT2-a's are okay but I know I can do much better. I'm...

So seeing as I'm a semi-professional drummer, I've never cared about drum machines, drum synths, drum replacement, triggering etc. before. The only synthesized drums were the ones I wrote in my composition software while writing music. Anyway, I have a session coming up in March and the guy...

Now that my mini-album is done, I decided to really try my work at yet another cover (its good practice both for engineering and arranging). Been kinda into early Beatles recently, so did I Want to Hold Your Hand. As always, bear in mind I'm a crappy singer. But damn, I got new batter heads...

My second commercial release. Instrumental utilizing a hybrid of gothic themes, baroque, and rock. Was formerly a soundtrack to a computer game that was canceled in the middle of production, and these were the tracks I wrote for it. http://www.imaginative-studios.com/silvernest Justin Radford...

A couple of recent songs I recorded involved some tambourine action. Compared to, say, a snare drum, tambourines have very strong transients. Lots of energy in the high end. They're one of the best instruments to cut through a mix. I haven't been quite sure on how to tame these transients...

Wow, I'm gone for two weeks and the forums look all comic-sans-y. Eck. Anyway, I've been wanting to make a play-along track for my drum students to be able to play beats to. This isn't really intended for critical listening, I only wrote it and recorded it in probably 3-4 hours, but hey, I...

So when I got my RNP, I just plug it in into the Line 7/8 jacks on my Firestudio, but I'm still limited to 8 inputs. I've been investigating into getting a decent 2-channel A/D converter with a SPDIF output, not only to expand my inputs to 10 (since I now own more than 8 mics) but to also get a...

http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=9779615 Early mix, I just did the initial mix the past 2 hours, everything in mono (cept drum overheads). More tweaking needs to be done, but initial impressions?

This is what I want to do essentially. When a sound source gets quiet enough, I want it to trigger an EQ. I have a guitar track with audible amp hum during longer notes, and I can get rid of it with a nice low pass filter, but that really fucks with the transients of the guitar. So during a...

So my current project that I'm working on has timpani parts. Now, unless you're rich or have access to record at a school, most people probably don't have a set of timpani to record with. I figured with a bit of ingenuity I could get close. It ain't the real thing, and some tweaking needs to...

Didn't know where else to post this, so I put it where I'd be least made fun of. I've searched KVR, Google, I can't seem to find any freeware Harpsichord VSTi's anywhere. Anybody have any suggestions?

So I have two 300 watt 8 ohm speakers. I had a cheap 400 watt power amp running juice through them but that bit the dust. So now I'm looking for something a bit better, at least 600 W/8 ohm. So far the only decent one I have found that isn't expensive as hell is the Yamaha p7000s. There's...

Just got an RNP, been putting it to the test. I don't know if I'm just getting better, but my recordings are a bit clearer now. So here's one from John and Paul. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=9333684

Couple of days ago I posted a quickie demo of a song I threw together in about 2 hours. It was sloppy as it was never intended to be a song, I just hit record and laid out a drum beat without caring, then later realizing I could build a song on it. No one paid attention to it, which is...

I've been doing a lot of drum recording since I bought my Beta 52 a few days ago (from our classifieds here, no doubt), but wanted to see how my new drum mix stood up against an actual song. So, I quickly threw together a quick little diddy. Yeah its sloppy, I know...

So my CD will be made into a movie, and I'm gonna do a cool 5.1 mix for it. Now in Cubase LE 1.x, which is what I have, there is left/right pan AND back/front pan. When I adjust back/front pan, nothing happens. There's no change anywhere. My interface is a Firestudio 26x26, so my routing...
