I was watching HGTV and saw that a company is using old denim jeans and recycling them to make insulation. They mentioned it could be used as a sound "deadener". Do you see any problems in using this type of insulation for isolation uses? Would it also be effective as a bass trap? Here's the...

This is just a curiosity of mine. If a person has an idea of the perfect piece of gear, but can't find that it already exists, where can you go to get it made? Do you just have to pitch the idea to everybody and see who'll bite? My particular idea exists, but not with the exact specs I'd like...

Hi. My question is probably really a matter of taste than proper mix/master. When I am mixing a hard rock song, I notice that when it sounds good to my ears, the stereo output meters are jumping a pretty good distance with the kick and snare. Note: the kick and snare have individual...

www.gococoon.com/herewegoagainclip1.mp3 The band is made up of 18 to 22 year olds that have been playing as a band for a couple years now. This clip is from one of their more popular songs. I'm trying to get it to be as good as it can be. I need your advice. Be honest and candid! You won't...

I've always heard that you shouldn't get fiberglass on your skin because it irritates it but, I've also heard that fiberglass shouldn't be inhaled either. Wouldn't putting fiberglass panels in a vocal booth or around a studio make you have to breath in an unsafe environment? Are there...

Hi, I am a guitarist that is working with a pianist for performance, not recording, and I wonder how I can get sheet music in one key transposed to another key on paper. The pianist is using a digital piano with the ability to transpose the notes while playing the key that's written but, I'd...

Hi! I was wondering if anyone could give me a lesson on the differences between an opto-compressor and a vari-Mu compressor. What makes them different? Is one type better than the other? What's the general concensus? Thanks!

Hey gang, Where would an average guy like me find out info on what mic's, pre's, compressors, etc. were used on hit records from such artists as Metallica & Gun's n Roses to Steely Dan & Earth, Wind & Fire? Is there any resource that can tell me "This signal chain got this sound on this hit...

Can you paint a slot resonator wall or does the paint decrease it's effectiveness? FYI - To me, a slot resonator wall is a wall with variable sized and spaced planks of wood attached to it. If I'm using the wrong terminology, I apologize. Could you advise on painting studios and what can and...

I've looked around on these forums and on sites like mercenary audio to see if there is a definitive "best" in the world of preamps. I am the kind of guy to equate quality with price. "It costs more, it must be better!" I know that's not always true so, the question remains... "If you had all...

I was wondering if I could ever afford one nearly perfect channel for recording just about anything (vocals being most important) without spending more than $5,000, I would think the Nuemann U87 in conjunction with the Amek Pure Path Channel in a Box might be the ticket. As I realize there are...

Hi, I came up with this design as how I'd like my studio to someday be. I planned the three rooms to be exact in size and shape. I'd like to make one dry and one wet and the other the control room. Each room started out 12' wide by 12' long by 10' high. I then made the walls non-paralell and...

I have a Behringer DDX and I wonder if anyone here has tested the RNP/RNC combo against the Behringer Pre's and compression. I bet the RNC compressor is better than Behringer's but, I'd like to know about the Pre's. Thanks, Chris

Hi, Boss MT-2 Owners... Please help me if you will by placing the settings for the "rock 2" sound of the Boss MT-2 pedal in this thread. I lost my settings sheet and I know that's the one I liked most. Thanks!!!!!!! Chris

Ummm... It hasn't ever been mentioned that I've seen but, I just opted to buy the Behringer DDX3216 with various other rackable gear. I planned to house it in an SKB gigrig. IT WONT FIT!!! Just a mere oversight on Behringer's behalf????? Now I gotta send the case back and come up with new...

Please only comment if you own the ddx3216 and "know" the answer to this question. When You have a DDX3216 with one adt1616 expansion card connected to an HD24 (or other hd recorder) via lightpipe, can you record and playback simultaneously within that fader bank OR must you have an additional...

02r users tell me what you are using to automate and sync to your recorder (especially the hd24). Automation is more important in this question. I know that Lucid GenX or whatever is a good clock. But will it give me automation too? Thanks, Chris

I guess I just took it for granted that the 01v96 would come with full automation capabilities being as it's $1,500.00 more expensive than the DDX3216. But I was informed today that the 01v96 only has scene recall and automation via MIDI controller. NOTHNIG ONBOARD!!!!! Man that ticks me off...

Hi, I was wondering which mixer beit analog or digital is the best solution for use with the Hd24xr. I was thinking of the 01V96, DDX3216, or Mackie 24x8, or something else. I can't go much over $2500.00 Maybe $3000.00 if my wife won't divorce me over it. I'm going to try to finance the HD24...

OK folks, What's the difference between the Adat XT and the Adat LX? Sweetwater.com has the LX priced at $599.99 and the XT priced at a staggering $979.99. I was thinking of getting an XT to hold me over till I get the cash for the HD24XR but, for nearly a grand, I'll have to keep waiting. Is...
