    Should you EQ during recording?

    Sorry - that title wasn't very clear. My question has to do with the ACTUAL recording. I've got some tube preamps, and I also have a Mackie 1202 VLZ. Is it better to go with an un-EQ'ed sound (as with the preamps) while recording, or is it better to adjust some levels (eq levels, not channel...

    a (potentially) stupid question about mixing on a computer based system...

    After I make a recording, I usually use Cakewalk's EQ to tweak the bass, mids and treble on a track, and I use the on-screen faders to set the levels of the mix. I noticed that there are a lot of computer interfaces with multiple outs and I was wondering... Is it possible to send several...

    Been away for awhile - need a new interface and some advice...

    Hey everybody, how's it going? I used to be a regular poster on this board when I was actively recording, but I haven't done anything in a few years now. I'm looking to get back into recording again. I've got a pretty solid PC (well, it was pretty solid when I got it): Dell Dimension 2350...

    please recommend an affordable and usable sound card

    After a long abscense, I want to get back into recording on my PC. I've got a fairly new PC that should be good enough (1.8GHZ P4, 1 GB RAM, Win XP Pro, 80 GB drive) and I still have my original software (Cakewalk Pro Audio 9.0). Eventually, I'd like to get something that will allow 4 or more...

    hello again...and slowing down drum samples...

    after a long time off, I'm starting to get back into recording again - only after so much time off, I'm not sure what's out there anymore or if I need to upgrade. I've got a fairly new PC now (P4, 1.8Ghz, 640MB RAM) running Windows Professional, but my hardware (Midiman DMan 1044 or something...

    GuitarPort vs POD 2.0

    Anyone use the GuitarPort for recording? I've got a POD, but I was thinking of selling it to make room for other gear. If so, I was considering getting one of these. Are they any good? I know they are limited in the simulations they do, but that really doesn't bother me - it seems to have...

    what's a good quality (and value) soundcard?

    I'm looking for a low- to mid- price sound card to fill in on my pc until I can afford to get something more upscale (like the Tascam controller or the EZBus). Ideally, this card should run in Win98 and WinXP. Something that can work with Cakewalk for now and Sonar in the future...Full-duplex...

    so what DOES work in XP???

    Before I start this post, I want to apologize in advance. I don't usually like to bitch and moan, but today I am totally frustrated. Up until about 6 months ago, I was using an old pc with Windows 98 and Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 to record music. I had a DMAN 2044 interface and a SoundBlaster AWE...

    Upgraded my machine...will the old stuff work?

    I just got a 1.8 GHz Pentium 4 Dell to replace my old slapped together 180 Mhz Pentium machine. It came preloaded with Windows XP Home edition. I've got Cakewalk Pro Audio (7, I believe). I also have a Midiman DMAN 2044 card (which never quite worked right in the old machine). So my first...

    Nady vs Behringer (I can see your faces now) mixer

    I'm looking for a cheap mixer to fill in while I save for a better system. I've got a $200 cap that I am trying to stay within. I'd like something that I can use mostly in the studio, but might be capable of live work as well. I'd like to have decent mic pres, but I've got two Tube MP's and...

    Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 Hard Drive Spinning On Track

    I've been recording for the past few years with Cakewalk Professional 7 and recently upgraded to Pro Audio 9. My computer is a bit on the slow side (Pentium 233) and I'm using a SoundBlaster AWE 64 Gold Card, but I figured I'd take the plunge. Pro Audio 9 works, with one minor exception - when...

    i know about behringer mixers, but...

    ...what about Nady? I was thinking of getting a small mixer to hold me over - particularly a cheaper one (under $200) - the two that I am interested in are the Behringer MX802A (I can just see the looks now) and the Nady SRM10 (or something like that) - any thoughts? Thanks.

Currently I have a Rode NT1 that I use for vocals and I am looking for another Condenser Mic at or under $100 for acoustic guitar/possible amp micing. I am not sure what's suited better for me, but the two i am...

    a cheap mic pre/compressor setup

    I've got an Art Tube MP, Alesis Compressor and Rode NT1 that I use for recording vocals into my computer. I'd like to also have the ability to record acoustic guitar simultaneously. I am trying to keep the setup as inexspensive as possible for now. I figured I'd pick up a Marshall MXL 603s...
