Hi, for ages I've had my bass drum stuffed almost full with pillows etc. I've recently decided to take it all out apart from a small bit of acoustic foam. I've had it dampened for so long that now i ain't sure what sounds good. I think it sounds ok, but I've had it at couple of gigs and a few...

Would it be ok to mount a speaker inside a kick drum to be used as a sub kick? I had this idea because I'm buying a 2nd hand kit for £35 off a friend and fancy using it for everything i would usually cringe at needing to use my kit for, such as gigs where other bands are using it, and drum...

Hi, I have owned a LDC for a while now and never really used it. I had a small gig coming up and thought i'd buy another and use them as overheads. With my second one came a sheet with frequency charts polar patterns etc. I also bought a kick mic and a copy of an SM57. The gig was so small that...

Hi, Ok I've been told a few times that it is not good to mix on 4" monitors, even with a sub, is this true? The reason I ask is because i fancy getting the M-audio LX4 surround set for my home studio. The frequence response seems good enough at 40Hz–20kHz; +1dB, -3dB(satellites and sub). I...

Does the boss gt-8 have a preamp, ie can you plug it straight into the stereo input of a mixing desk? My mate has a GT-8 and i will be putting on a gig in a week or so.

Look what Behringer say about the preamps with their new XENYX sseries mixers: The new XENYX Mic Preamp matches the sound quality, transparency, headroom and even the dynamic range of boutique-style, stand-alone mic preamps. Wonder if it's true. Anyone heard them?

One of the best drumemrs I've ever seen. Watch here

Where can you get 4" rigid fiberglass in Massachusetts. This kid will need 8 4'x2' slabs. How much roughly will it cost? What about enough wood for 4 8'x2' bass traps? And cloth? Estimates are fine.

Watch this kid play drums!!!!!! One of the best drummers I've ever seen, and only 12(at the time)

I've been told that AMD X2 are better for recording purposes than Pentium 4, Why is this? I've also been told that AMD are less compatable than Pentium. I've been searching and have found Pentium 4 dual core. Would this be better than the AMD? Would a dual core 3GHz be better than a standard...

I'm thinking of building my own computer for my studio. I would prefer it to be rack-mountable. Would one of these be ok? I've heard that you need a special motherboard, is this true? If so, in what way, and what would you recomend? I will be wanting to have an AMD X2 processor.

I'm not sure where to post this, if it's in the wrong place I'm sorry. Ok, I'm setting up a studio and i need help with equipment. I'll give a list of what I'm thinking at the moment: Behringer MX9000 Behringer DDX3216 RME Fireface 800 M-Audio LX4 5.1 Surround Custom built PC 4x BEHRINGER...

Hi, I'm going to do all my own wiring, eg xlr and jack sockets, to stereo jack plugs. What should i use for balanced wires this , this ,or one of these. I am unsure because they don't have any with 3 wires and i was under the impression that is what i'd need.

Ok, for my studio I'm thinking of building my computer, to get everything i need, at a price i can afford. I've never built a computer before, but kinda know the basics. I'm looking to use the RME Fireface 800 For computer: Harddrives: audio , software etc Ram: 2 of these Processor: P4...

What are people opinions on CAKEWALK SONAR 5 Producer Edition? Is it easy to get used to? I use Cubase SX at the moment, and in college use Pro Tools, but for my studio am looking for something different.

Hi, I have my whole studio planned out except which computer and which software i want to record. I'm looking for something which will record in 5.1 and is like Pro Tools. I do not have the kind of money to afford the HD systems, but am doing the Pro Tools 101, 201, and 210 in my college, some...

Hi, I have a low budget and am looking for a 7-8 piece drum mic kit. I have found a few really really cheap sets and am wondering if they are a good buy. I'm not look for anything fancy or top quality. Would these be ok? I kno SoundLAB are shite but would they at least do an o.k. job? If not...

Ok, just been in contact with Rockwool and was asking for the coefficients for 100mm RW45, 3, 4, 5 Rockwool. They don't know! lol. They gave me them for 25, 50, 75mm but don't know for 100mm. Them seem very good at other thicknesses except in low frequencies, and i was hoping the thicker ones...
