Poops use either a discontinued AKG D190 or a Shure SM58. Either way it has to be on a gooseneck (that's straight showing they didn't need a gooseneck) and held by the shaky old dude in a red and white dress. I particularly liked the way the new Poop's first words on the balcony used an SM58...

What are your needs in terms channels...how many mics at one time, any instruments or line level sources at the same time as mics, that sort of thing.

As per the detail in the sticky, it's not particularly suitable. Starting at something you might not have thought about, your Asus sound card isn't suitable for recording purposes--it's marketed for gaming and surround sound video playback. You'll need to replace it with something more...

I suspect anything relying on electricity could be a problem. How about a Babbage Difference Engine?

Yeah, but look at the sexy Kray design! How can anyone get creative on the rather agricultural IBM design?

Okay, if you want to get into it... Four of your other "examples" involved trouble (latency and drop outs) with the Focusrite Scarlett interface. Guess what? If you got to the Apple Support Communities, they have a two page thread about Mac users having EXACTLY the same problem, including...

THIS is a digital mixer, in this case about $150,000 and 56 channels worth of cuddly sonic goodness, especially through the D&B line array it drives. However, something makes me think the OP was thinking of something a bit less expensive and in a world where analogue is very much in the battle!

I seem to recall a discussion recently about archiving your hard work, with the disadvantages of HDDs, CDs, DVDs, etc. all being pointed out. So, here's a new idea for you: use DNA!

Here you go. Top clip is the wave version. The middle clip is the FLAC version. The bottom one is what I get when I mix the two together after inverting the polarity on the wave version. (It works equally well inverting either of them). As for multiple wash and rinse cycles, I'm bored today...

Well, first off let me ask you why you're unhappy with the USB 1.1 output? Are you having actual problems (for example driver issues) or is it just because USB 2 is "better"? I ask because the limitations of USB 1.1 are just in terms of throughput, not sound quality, and for a single stereo...

Here are some sE photos of their Reflexion Filter: Note that the unit mounts on the vertical part of the mic stand and has it's own extension to hold the mic itself--no boom arms in sight.

No. ....the artist formerly known as

Speaking of Margaret Thatcher jokes, here's me telling here to keep her effing hand off the control room desk....

Sorry for the late reply but I'm back in hospital. Anyhow, there are a few USB mixers that can do what you want (A&H Zed R16 for example) but they tend to quite pricey. The vast majority of USB mixers only provide the main stereo mix to the computer, not individual tracks. You'll likely find...

One of the most common questions posted on the Home Recording Forums is "Should I buy a USB microphone?". As with so many things, the only honest answer is "Maybe, but it depends". The attractions of USB mics can normally be summed up with two statements: 1. They're cheaper than buying a...

Have a look at this...it is a great truth!

Oh, I wish I was still in the UK despite the rain! I just noticed a banner on the DV24/7 page that they're selling the sE G3500 for £329. This is a mic that I've long coveted. I had a chance to try it on the distributor's 7 day free trial deal and I really, really wanted it--but couldn't...

Well, unlike some of you, I've moved so much in the past 12 years that I can't possibly say "my room". Since 2000, I've been in five houses (and an RV), two countries, and 4 towns/cities. Nope, my treat to myself when I got a lump sum at the beginning of my pension was a Yamaha DM1000 digital...

Welcome to the world of sig line spam!

Occasionally--but they tend to be at their loudest early morning and around sunset, neither of which are prime times for me--and they prefer trees which (by luck rather than design) are the other side of the house from the room I use for studio work. By the way, they look as crazy as they...
