I've got the RPC-1 R-BUS sound card that came with my Roland VM3100Pro mixing station. I'm very happy with the RPC-1 card, which has 8 ins/out and supports up to 96kHz/24bit. What is a bummer, though, is that the VM3100Pro interface only operates at 44.1kHz/24bit! Now I am looking for another...

hi there -- what's your favorite Drum-and-Bass sound module? I am looking for some rack gear. Tried Reason and lots of other soft synths, but I hate creating music with a mouse coz it suffocates my creatives juices. I prefer knovs & sliders and a MIDI keyboard. Any ideas?

I've watched some episodes of "making the band" by P.Diddy on MTV last night. Have you'all seen that show? Its about P. Diddy trying to make hip hop "superstars" out of a bunch of 7 young people. I noticed that most of the recording sessions are done in the little studio inside the house where...

ok, here's my stupid question: if I record a deep bass or sub-bass, my sequencer will clip easily. I can't turn the volume up otherwise it'll sound muddy and distorted. How can I make basses/sub-basses louder without getting a muddy sound?? All I want is a loud & crispy bass line. Any ideas...

hi guys & girls, I am using a Sennheiser MD441 and a Focusrite Green channel strip for vocals right now. Since I live in the middle of nowhere and can't rent/borrow mics from a store or nearby studios, I have a question: Would a large condenser (cardoid only) improve my (female+male) vocal...

Did any of you check the t. bone microphones out? They are attractively priced mics made in Germany. Their top condenser is the ST 1000, which retails for EURO 400. Here's a link to their German dealer: http://www.netzmarkt.de/thomann/tbone_st1000_prodinfo.html

hey folks, I just finished a new song and put it online. Its kinda "dark" electronica with some bits of my own sax solo. Its mostly done using outboard gear, only some soft synths (e.g., the electric piano), and put together in Logic. There are two versions of the song on my website, one in...

I heard that a lot of people have a second computer which serves as MIDI machine only. How does that work, how can I synchronize that with the recording computer and what's the benefit? Thanks for the enlightment

hi -- I use a VM 3100 Pro + RPC audio interface for a year or so. It happened today that my output channels 13/14 (which are the stereo outputs from the computer to the speakers) started having a LOUD hiss, cracks and hum! The other channels seem to fine, though. Any idea what could be wrong...

hi -- my humble studio is finally getting in shape. What I needed is a 1 channel strip (pre + compressor) for my Sennheiser 441 (vocals) and Neumann KM184 (tenor sax) mics. Since I am not recording simultaneously, a 1 channel strip would do. My spending limit is approx. US-$500. Can you give me...

I saw that a lot of top notch artists use the Neumann KMS 105 mic all the time (e.g., Norah Jones, Dave Mathews Band). Do you think they also record with that mic? Is it any good in the studio? Sennheiser also converted that mic into a wireless system (SKM 5000 N), so I was wondering how it...

hi -- Can anyone tell me the difference between the Sennheiser 441-N and 441-U? I guess the "U" is the current product line, but how do they differ? Thanxxx

hi -- I am currently working with the Roland VM3100Pro audio interface, which features nice 24bit effects, etc. Since I have outgrown the 8 channel in/out coz I have a lot of outboard gear, I needed to upgrade to 16 channel computer recording. Here are my options: 1) I could get another Roland...

hi -- I just tried to record a song with 24bit/88.2kHz using my Roland VM3100Pro + RPC-1 sound card and Logic 5.5. In the Logic "Control Settings" I chose 88.2kHz and 24bit sampling/bit rate. The individual wav files for the tracks seem to be fine, so the recording was ok. However, if I try to...

hi -- I am selling the Emagic WaveBurner Pro 2.1.1 professional CD mastering/burning software. Comes in NEW, un-opened box. Any offers? giganova@gmx.net

damn -- if I see what's coming out on DVD these days and read the music magazines, it seems like everything will be in Dolby 5.1 pretty soon. Shall we all get started mixing/mastering in 5.1 to be prepared for the future???

hi y'all -- well, after having started recording about 4 months ago, I more or less finished a draft for my first track. It's sort of "electronica" with my own tenor sax. Hope it's not too cheesy and "danceable". Wanna listen and give me your opinion...

hiya all! I have a question whether I should master myself or give my stuff to a pro mastering facility. The thing is that I am into electronica. I've been told many times that when you submit your stuff to electronic music labels, they actually expect that the songs are already mastered. Dunno...

hiya -- c'mon, let me see your studio! I am sure we will all get good ideas of how to improve our studio by peeking into others. Doesn't matter if you're a pro or just starting in your bedroom. o.k., I'll start ... it's only a very modest home studio for electronic music, my sax and...

I needed to get a good mic for tenor sax (studio recording). What would you suggest (up to a few hundred buxx or so)?? Thanxxxxx!
