Hi, I hope someone can help me with this problem, because I am really not sure what to do about it. I do all of my recording in the main room of my apartment, which is a large rectangular space with hardwood floors. I can use a dynamic mic on guitar cabs, vocals, acoustic guitar, etc. and not...

Hi, I am having some real problems with the Midiman DMAN 2044 sound card. I have contacted tech support on several occasions and the clearly do not want to help. They simply ignore my messages. So, once again, I need some help - here are the specifics: - Pentium 233 MHZ - 13.5 GB Hard...

I was recording my GT2 directly into my DMAN 2044 last night when I noticed some odd "static" at the top of the track. Originally, I thought this was just the GT2 - since the pedal was plugged directly into the sound card, maybe it was just "overloading" the signal. But when I recorded this...

Hi, I am having a problem with my SoundBlaster AWE 64 Gold card. I recently reformatted my hard drive. I then reinstalled all of the software back to my system (including Cakewalk) and had no problems. Monday night I realized that I had not installed the AWE 64 software that Creative...

I realize that this debate has raged on and on at this site, but still - I don't think any definitive answer was ever reached as to what the best small project studio mixer brand is. I have read many comments saying that Behringer mixers are just as good as Mackies. Personally, I worked with a...

I recently installed a MidiMan DMAN 2044 in my computer to repace the SoundBlaster 32 that I had been using to record (although I left the SB in for use of SoundFonts and MIDI). I was able to install the DMAN system and it does record and playback. I have tried to contact tech support and let...

I am recording with Cakewalk Pro 7 and I was wondering what other people have done to be able to "mixdown" tracks? I haven't been able to find (if it exists) controls in Cakewalk for boosting bass, hi's, or mid's - other then the Graphic EQ which almost always seems to clip when I use it. Any...

I am trying to mixdown some tracks in Cakewalk and I want to apply effects (such as reverb, compression, delay, etc.) and graphic eq to the mix. Should effects be added before or after compression? Should the compressed/effected mix be eq'd? What's the general order for doing this in a...

After posting my previous topic with what I have available (see "something from nothing"), I know that my best option is going with my Evloution Mic (Senheiser) and my preamp, with the Mic angled toward the neck. Should compression be used during recording with an acoustic guitar (as you...

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this mic. I used to work with it in a production studio at my college radio station. I used it for some recordings (acoustic guitar, vocals) as well as for live broadcast performances. Does anyone think this would make a good studio mic for...

I'm trying to get a "decent" acoustic guitar sound from a very limited amount of equipment. Here's what I've got: 1 ART Tube MP Preamp 2 SM 58's 1 Senheiser E335S 1 AKG D3400 1 Lavaleir Microphone (clip on) 1 cheap piezo acoustic guitar pickup Out of what's here, what's the best way to get a...

I ended up picking up one of these units last night and haven't had a real chance to use it yet - but I've read that it has more uses then just a Mic preamp. Anyone have any suggestions?

I am begining the (slow) process of trying to assemble a decent home recording studio. As all of you know, this can be an expensive proposition. Among the items I am looking to pickup are a Mackie Mixer, and Event Gina, an AKG C1000 microphone and some effects proessor. In the meantime, I am...

Hey Dragon, I looked through your pages on digital recording and saw that you mentioned the mic jack was useless on most Sound Cards. I am using an SB AWE64 Gold card and I am micing my acoustic guitar with a lavlier microphone, and it seems to sound ok to me. Am I missing something here, or...
