Thinking that I will never get an adequate treatment for a good sound in 'Studio A' (my walk-in closet) and the inconvenience of needing to turn off the heater and tell everybody to be quiet when I want to record something, I am considering adding a practice room/self-recording booth in my...

I have relatively little experience with tube gear and this question came into my mind. Once having added 'tube coloration' to your signal chain is there much to be gained by adding it again? In other words do you get not a whole lot more by putting a tube pre behinc a tube mic (or vice-versa).

I am goint to take a whirl at recording my daughter's violin playing. I am guessing that my MXL V93M (aka 2003) might do a good job. Do any of you others have experience with this combination? Then I am considering positioning, particularly since the condenser is a big thing and I do not want...

I am reviewing a book that might be recorded for an audiobook. The action will be taking place in several manners. What EQ or other effects would you add to make the speaker seem: 1. That they are talking over a telephone. 2. That they are talking over a radio. 3. That they are talking...

checking the standard urls for syntrillium.com and cooledit.com now point to a generic home page for Adobe and a search of adobe's site reveals not a word about Cool Edit. This does not look promising.

I am needing to record some voice prompts for an application. I would like to record a bunch of them in a single take and then highlight each section and do essentially a 'save as' of just the selected bit. I haven't seen how to do that in n-track or should I just use a simple wav editor like...

I know what proximity effect is, but what causes it, and why do some mics have a more pronounced one than others.

Just got two new MXL V93M microphones. Set them up in their shock mounts on a stand (hoping to use them as an ortf pair) They seemed to be working OK. Adjusted the stand height. Now one is full of loud staticy popping noises. Is this mic damaged? Was it damaged just by adjust the stand height?

In n-track there is a button described as 'launch external wave editor'. Now this implies that there are necessary tasks for which another program is needed. Now still being a newbie and not all that familiar with everything out there I have this question. What do you need a separate wave...

Well, like I guess a lot of us it will be a long time until I have either a room that I can dedicate to being just a studio or thousands of dollars to improve it. But I do have a whole suburban house (no basement) full of rooms that I could set up my mic while I am recording and lots of...

Has anybody asked this before? Can the Mojave Audio tube mod be done on MXL mics other than the 2001? I am certain that the 990 would be too small to hold it, but what about the others?

How well would this work? I was thinking today about the problems of the AVERAGE home recorder who may not have a room that can be premanently dedicated to recording and might even be renting. (and are saving for a new microphone rather than planning thousands for construction) This this idea...

The Marshall V57M on sale at musiciansfriend.com for 59.99 seems to be another one of those rebranding of another MXL mic for Mars Music that musiciansfriend picked up the stock of in the bankruptcy. (like the V93M is the 2003) My question is, does anybody know which of MXL's regular mics the...

OK, after listening to a lot of advice here I have bought the first piece of gear for my own home studio, a nearly new Edirol UA-5. For those who remember my posting on the newbie forum I will be recording mostly voiceovers of myself (a deep rich baritone) but also would like to occasionally be...

I see a lot of postings saying that a particular mic is good for vocals and some even that are good for male vocals. Would those recommendations change if what you were dealing with wasn't a tenor or even a baritone but a bass voice. As usual low price is important.

I was thinking that I would get Pro Tools Free, but with the lack of XP support I am looking instead at some of the well under $100 audio programs out there. This is not just a matter of being cheap, but that for what I am looking for (voiceover for training programs, program prompts, etc.) I...

Anyone have experience that they would like to share about the VPocket line of PCMCIA interfaces? A friend is recommending them to me.

I am an experienced computer programmer wanting to set up a home studio principally for spoken voice recording (voiceovers for IVR program promts, phone system customization, training materials, etc.) Rebuilding my house is not an option, and I am looking for a good bang-for-the buck. I have...
