I have about narrowed down my "Pre Search" to three... A Designs MP2 GR MP-2NV Avalon 2022 I am looking for a good pre that I can do the vast majority of my tracking with (at least until I can expand later). Therefore, it needs to be a pre that sounds good on everything. ESPECIALLY vocals...

I am looking to purchase a mic pre. I am wondering how much difference there is in the Great River stuff, the John Hardys and the Universal Audio 2-610. Now, I know that the Great River is a favorite around here...but is there much difference in the sound of these three? Also, I notice that...

Recently, I ran a mic test that I did as I was in search of a new mic. I posted the test on this forum (thank you all again for your suggestions...) Anyway, I am currently doing a recording for a group who is doing their Christmas album. The instrumentation has been pre-recorded, so all I...

OK...I tested some mics at our "local" (as in 2 1/2 hrs away) Guitar Center. I tried out a bunch of mics and then narrowed it down to 2. I then talked the guy into letting me record the 2 mics onto a Korg D1600 that they had there at the store and then burned the tracks onto a CD to take home...

What do you all think of the Apogee Rosetta 96k A/D Converter? Is it considered to be pretty good? (I have NO knowlege of these things...) Thanks.

OK... I know this is really subjective, but...I am wondering what everyone's recommendations are on best vocal mic for the $1000 range. (I am currently considering the Shure KSM44 and the Neumann TLM103) Thanks!

Hi, I am looking for any and all opinions from the fine (and oh so intelligent) members of this forum on both the Aphex 1100 and the Grace Design Lunatec. Which would you all recommend? I am looking for a GOOD pre (no "bells and whistles", just the pre) that will work especially well on...

I am looking into a decent external sound card for my laptop. Some have suggested the Audiophile USB. Are there any latency issues (say with Sound Forge or Cubase or whatever...)? Thanks, Harold

OK...I am brand new to Sonar. I am trying to learn the ropes, if you will, with this thing. However, when I try to import a WAV file it doesn't play correctly. I go to File/Import/Audio and choose a 16bit/44k file. When I press the Play button to preview it play fine. However, when I press...

I just discovered that, while using my computer (Desktop PC running Win XP), my computer is not truly stereo. That is, I was using Sound Forge and playing some split-track recording (you know, vocals on the right track and music on the left) and found that both bleed in my headphones (rather...

Just wanted you to know that I tried out your "Exciting Compressor" idea for vocals. It is VERY cool! I mean, I have to be careful as to not get carried away with it. But it has helped me on a few mixes that I was having trouble keeping the vocal from getting buried. A couple of questions...

I am WAY ignorant in all of this, so please have patience with me... How can I use VST plug-ins with SF7? Does SF support VST (and I am just missing the "How To") or do I need some sort of adapter (If so, where do I get one)? Thanks...

Please forgive my ignorance...(Hmmm, I seem to start a lot of posts that way...) How can I take a song that I have recorded and match it (RMS to RMS) to a song off of a professionally mastered CD? I mean, I know how to scan the reference song and figure it's RMS, however how do I apply these...

When it comes to CD Mastering...is there anything WaveLab can do that Sound Forge cannot? Thanks.

Hi, I just purchased a copy of Sound Forge 7 and I hope to use it to master a CD. I am looking for whatever tips I can get, as the whole PC editing thing has me a bit overwhelmed so far. Basically, I am looking to enhance the overall mix with a bit of EQ and then compression (or limiting) in...

Hi, I am lookingto get a second set of monitors primarily for Mastering. I currently own a pair of Mackie HR824's that I use for mixing. Would a full-range system be best? I'm hoping to keep it around $1000, if possible. ANY suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks, Harold
