Had a marathon recording session going on Sunday. 12 hours. Somewhere very late we were in the 8th take of a difficult song. Number 8 was the charm. Everything was perfect. Until ........ At the very end, as the bass and lead guitar swelled up then down to fade the rhythm guitar player got...

Yeah I know this BBS is for recording so don't flame me :D My sons band used their new Behringer Feedback Destroyer at a gig last night for the first time. We set it up for use on the stage monitors. You open all the mics and turn up the monitor gain until feedback starts. Note to self...

Just a heads up to let everyone know tkingen is one of the good guys. Just got my EQ from him yesterday and couldn't be happier. Great unit and great price. Wish he had more stuff I needed. I'd be all over it :D :D :D DD

I was getting a little low on hard drive space so I installed a second hard drive. I want all my project data (wavs etc) to go to the new drive. I did the audio options thing the book talks about but it says I also have to "manually" move all the wave data over to the new drive via explorer...

Anyone read this book? Got good reviews so I might order it. Thanks. DD

Got one you're not using? Respond here or PM me. DD

First off, I took a year off from recording to build the studio. It's gonna take a little while to get my experience level back up. Recorded a rock band last weekend. It all went well except for drums, specifically crash cymbals. I used a spread pair of condensors overhead, mic'd the kick...

Nice article in the local paper. Next month they'll be in a new publication called Audio Pages. Available free at clubs in Atlanta, Athens and further south down to Panama City, FL. Always good to get some media attention. Got to get the demo done. We start tracking this week. Here's the...

What a surprise. We were playing around Sunday night with the vocal booth. I already had a Marshall V67G set up for vocals. Our lead guitar player started playing a tune in the control room. It really sounded great so I told him to go in the booth and I would record it. I didn't even move...

Can the MIDI (not PC speaker) metronome be enabled without an external input such as sound card or instrument? I need to set up click tracks but haven't done this before. If not, I'll just use the headphone jack of my metronome to bring it in as an audio file. Thanks, DD

I've built the stands (all wood) for the near field monitors (M-Audio SP-8's)and I'm about to build stands for my main monitors (JBL 4311's). My question is: Should I put "spikes" or rubber feet on the bottom of the stands? Is there a benefit of one over the other? Both are readily available...

Just a quick comment. I'm building mic cables for the studio now using Belden 1800F AES cable (man it's expensive) and Neutrik NC3MX-B/NC3FX-B XLR connectors. Got the connectors off eBay new for about $1 each. I gotta say I really like these connectors. They're very easy to work with. The...

Ok I'm a newbie to web site development. I've read a lot on it but haven't made my first attempt. I need to build one for our band. Suggestions or recommendations for a newbie? Internet sources or books I should read? Programs such as Frontpage, Netobjects Fusion (I have ver 7.0), or...

Someone recommended these guys on another audio forum. I need to get a band website started (already own the domain name) but I know very little about hosting plans and what I should be looking for. Oh yeah, it'll be my first website too :eek: :eek: :eek: Here's the link...

A very interesting article by Frank Foti, Robert Orban, etc on the Euphonicmasters site. Hope someone else hasn't already posted it. Talks about clipping, compression, EQ, etc. Click here to check it out http://www.euphonicmasters.com/orban_article.html DD

1. OK. I just bought several pieces of Knauf 3 lb, 2" rigid fiberglass panels ($1.49 sqft). The only thing I could get locally was with the foil backing (FSK). Here's the coefficients: 125Hz 250 500 1000 2000 4000 NRC .67 .77 .93 .74 .47 .28 .75 I...

I've installed the first pane of glass in each window. That was a lot of fun :D The first pane is 3/8". The second (not ordered yet - budget :mad: ) will be 1/2". I ripped the stops (or whatever you call them) from 1" x 4" planks to about 3/4" x 7/8" and put 3/8" foam weather stripping...

I'm finally getting started on my XLR panels to connect the control room to live room. Connections from control room to vocal booth will be next weekend. You'll notice the bottom 5 connectors are combo connectors. I can plug in XLR or 1/4" TRS plugs. I'll be using those for the headphones...

Just saw this while surfing. Maybe someone could use as a mic preamp? Don't know anything about it but seems to be for reel to reel. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2548481286&category=3278 Sorry if this should have gone in the "stuff for sale". Oh, and it ain't mine :D DD

Just got it off eBay for a steal. $51 plus $100 shipping (it's heavy). I'm really excited about playing around with it. Check out the pic at thread https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?threadid=93956 Coolness :cool: :cool: :cool: Hey - my 800th post!! DD
