This is the recording techniques forum so here's what I want..... I wanna hear your earliest and your most recent recordings. I wanna know what techniques you used when you started out, whether it be 4 track casette or whatever and what you've now progressed to, equipment wise. How you recorded...

do all light dimmers introduce noise in the studio or is there special ones that don't? Just rewired the studio after a face lift and I was noticing quite a bit of noise from my M-Audio Tampa with a bass plugged into it.....same thing with the V-Amp Pro with a guitar plugged in. Turned the...

I bought a topaz in the summer 2nd hand and set it up briefly before I took it down again to do some sound proofing/acoustic treatment. I'm looking for experienced users, just got set up (partialy) today.... The main outs have inserts. If I strap a compressor across here should I hear it on...

I was cleaning out some paperwork and came across the reciepts from when I built my DAW last June. In total I spent £689 WITHOUT AD/DA convertors. I just went and priced all the same parts. 17 months later I could now build it for £522, so it's only gone down £167 Here was my parts list...

After getting all my bass traps and acoustic pannels made and covered with a fabric of my choice I thought....SHIT! I need to get this stuff flameproofed or at least get some fire retardant spray of some sort..... Any ideas on what to use and where to get it? (in the UK). If any of you across...

Just sprung to mind..... If I use the direct outs on the board can I tame the transients of each track (drums mainly) with compressors plugged into the inserts? Or do I need to go into the comp then into the desk?> I'm using a soundtracs topaz project 8

should I use 2 core cable with a screen for the third pin or use 3 core cable?

How many times over the past few weeks have I read.... I've just bought a £500 soundcard and a £600 sequencing program and a £300 microphone, where do I plug the mic and what do I press to make it work? Is it just me? I like to help out as much as I can around here with my limited knowlege...

Is it just a fact that (in the olden days) there wasn't any cheap gear so all studios were lined with the best of boards and outboard? How does this stand up now to newer studios or even home recordists who, might not be getting the same results (gone are the days of recording to tape) but are...

I'm looking for genuine comparisons between these two as a step up from my Lexi MPX100 and Alises Microverb 3. I'm also open to older 2nd hand units in the same price range Both fit the shopping bill so please share your experiences, thanks Alec.

It's been sold, paid for and taken away. I'm downsizing to a soundtracs Topaz project 8. These are the last two songs recorded and mixed on it, back ground noise is evident but these two recordings will always remind me of it. I'd like some genuine feedback on the sound please. Both songs are...

I'm torn between the soundcraft spirit studio 24/8/2 and the soundtracs topaz project 8 24/8/2 I'd like your views both good and bad on both mixers. From what I can make out the Topaz seems to have a limited AUX send system when it comess to mix down while the Spirit studio doesn't seem to...

I haven't used this program in years after that *smashed by a bus at top speed" novelty wore off. Per chance I was handed a CD a few days ago from a guy I used to be in a band with, 11 songs we recorded as live demos about 10 years ago. He asked if I could "beef them up a bit". I reached for...
