Excellent advice, this. Best of luck in your career. I'm a horn player and could die a happy man in an opera orchestra. ~d

Yes ~dk

Rob is right-- it's already broken-- you can't do any more damage. A couple years ago, I bought a 'partially working' AKG P420 for almost nothing. The seller described the mic as 'losing signal after a few seconds. The problem was loose board to chassis screws causing a poor ground. Mic has been...

Have you tried this without the surge suppressor? Your mention of the surge protector reminded me of a similar situation a few years ago. We were in the final stages of mastering for a flute, viola and harp recording when we started getting a random 'tick' on playback. Tick would appear in...

Quite right. ~dk

The R16 has a PHONES volume knob on the rear panel, right next to the PHONES jack. +1 re REAPER ~dk

My dad used to fix this type of thing on the old-school kitchen wall phone. He'd work the bad bit all the way to the end of the cord, then growl at us to be more aware of things. The conductors get twisted so they don't lie right. It's really just cosmetic. Of course, many conductors lie! ~dk

Sounds as though the headphones will be the best solution. Perhaps suggest that she keep her 'good' ear open-- uncovered so she can hear herself better. I wouldn't use speakers(in the space) at all during recording. I agree with the stereo pair for the space and a solo mic(with a pop screen!)...

"After playing with entry level ProTools and Cubase versions, I settled on Reaper years ago." As did I. Maybe 2007.

if the room you're recording in has a direct vented gas furnace, kill the pilot for the duration. The mics WILL catch that fluttery flame sound. ~dk

Consider starting out with Audacity. It's free It's basic It's simple It's free

If you're running REAPER, any bit of a track can be edited by increments of 1/100th of a semitone. Several years ago, I recorded an excellent pianist who wanted to sing three-part harmony on some of the tracks. There were places where the pitch had to be pulled up by 30 cents(30/100th semitone)...

Longtime Encore and Finale user here. I taught at a Chicago college where one prof decided that the department would abandon Finale in favor Sibelius because 'Sibelius is SO much easier to use'. I'm not sure this fellow had ever used either. Anyway, I agree with Tantacrul-- I found Sibelius...

I used to teach in a college music department. In order to retain accreditation, we had to present hearing protection curriculum every year. In short, OSHA guidelines state that 80db and under is free-- all day, no damage. Above 80dB, there is a sliding time scale outlining how long the higher...

Only one. We won't start counting French horns, however... ~dk

I got an AKG P420 for next to nothing a couple years ago. Seller said it 'has no output after about 10 seconds'. Upon testing, he was right. The 'already broke' mantra certainly applies here: I opened it up to find the screws grounding the circuit board to chassis were really loose. Snug them...

Greetings! I posted this on the VS Planet in December of 2019: [[My 2000CD has been at the local Roland repair facility since 9/16/2019. When checking repair status last week, the word was 'waiting on a part from Roland Japan'. The tech tells me that the part in question is the 'input knob'...

Greetings! It's been a while since my last visit. Does anyone know whether the metal stabilizer ring for the Samson C03 is M22x1.0 thread? It's the ring that secures the swivel mount to the mic body. M22x1.0 seems to be something of a "standard" in the industry, but I can't confirm this. Any...
