    Ma' Firepod is 'ere!

    Okay, I'm excited. Though - I just found out my laptop doesn't have a firewire port - rofl. I kind've just assumed it did since it's freaking state of the art. Pfft. Anyway, I'll put this baby to use when I get the pcmcia adapter.

    Best way to get more inputs with firebox?

    In the near future, my brother will be purchasing a 2 channel firebox (rather than letting me persuade him to get a firepod). This is sufficient for him to record his keyboard and whatnot, but what about my drums?! ...My question is, does an affordable way to add more I/O's to the firebox exist...

    Thoughts on this studio layout?

    I hope to start construction on this, or something similar, within the next 5 years. I was wondering what you guys think of this layout, from a professional standpoint. It's not to scale, just a rough idea.

    Order to purchase equipment?

    Well I'm interested in constructing a studio in the future, and figured I'd start getting the necessary devices I need to run it. My question is in what order should I buy the equipment? ...As of now I have studio monitors and mics. I know that I will probably eventually do everything analog...

    laptops and audio recording/output - need help

    Heyas, I've got a nice laptop and studio setup, but the sound card with the laptop is horrible, as expected. I know it's not normal to do all your mixing on a laptop but it's all I've got.

    Some stuff

    We finished a decent demo the other day, and I thought I'd show you all... I also finished the site, where the media is located: www.rta.ssxh.net We only had 2 weeks to write/record/mix/master, etc, blah blah, so I think it came out decently for my first ever recording project, with crappy...

    Distortion at High Volumes

    We're getting to the final stages of our cd, and some of the tracks are lacking some volume, compared to other professional mixes. Everytime I turn the tracks up in the mixing software I'm using (Acid in this case), the overall quality gets highly distorted. Is there ANY way to up the volume...

    What does this mix need?

    Alright, so far this mix sounds like poo. I've got 2 guitars, bass, kick, snare, and 2 overheads. I'm mostly concerned about the guitars. I don't play guitar so I really don't know how to get them to sound good. Any advice would be appreciated. http://www.rweiss.ssxh.net/tmp/intro.mp3

    Nice amp under $300?
