is there a benefit to recording and mixing down with broadcast wave files rather than normal wave files? i know the broadcast files hold information like artist and song, but where would that be useful? Brandon

Is there a huge difference in audible sound quality when switching from 44.1k to 96k? I've heard a couple say that it doesn't really sound that different, which taking up twice as much space on the hard drive and bogging down the processor even more. any opinions would be appreciated...

By no means am i a professional recording engineer. I am someone who enjoys recording my own music and is interested getting the sound possible without spending loads of money. I'm about to venture into an 8i/o soundcard. Money is of no issue in this situation. I wouldn't mind going for the RME...

This is kinda hard to explain in words, so bear with me... My band going to record a full length over the holidays and i'm going to be recording everything in nuendo and "mastering" and recording the cd in wavelab. My question is: We're looking to connect a few tracks with a noise or a fade...

I'm about dive into the "nice" preamp category. in terms of the number of channels, i don't have a preference. i wouldn't mind having the sytek 4, but 2 will do. If i were to get the sytek, i would have the JFET ic's on channels 3 and 4, so i would have that beefier option. Do you think the...

I talked with mike from sytek and he said they no longer put burr brown ic's on their custom units because they're no longer available. They did however replace them with a similar JFET. I've heard so much about the burr brown. I don't know all the technicalities, but i know alot of people...

I'm looking to get a patchbay soon to make my life a little easier. There's bunch of lost cost options from hosa, ap audio, rean, dbx, and furman. I don't want to lose quality going through this thing, but if i choose a cheaper one, will it degrade my signal? Please make suggestions of which...

I think i'm pretty much set on getting an RME multiset with the PCI card. I know it has 8 outs, but how would i go about monitoring? I plan to have a set of M-audio SP-8X by Christmas. I know the monitors are powered and have volume control on the back, but doesn't that stay set? Would i use...

I'm looking to buy one or two RS 33-3032 mics from someone. I will pay shipping and everything. Email me at frist44@aol.com if you're interested. Brandon

Awhile ago i recorded my band and i went all these troubles with vocals mics. I wanted to post the song and see what everyone thought. I have since upgraded to a BLUE dragonfly, the vocals on the track are with an NTK. Let me know what other parts that need some improvement...

I'm going to invest in an 8-input soundcard soon. Those are the two i'm considering. I realize the motu is a little more expensive, but i would have to buy a small mixer for the 1010 to route headphones and monitors. I will be using a PC and some had expressed concern over motu units with...

I'm looking to upgrade my soundcard from a delta omni studio, mostly for the increased number of inputs, but also a better a/d conversion. I've seen most responses regarding the motu 2408 mkIII now and the delta 1010. Is there a clear winner in sound quality? I will not being importing adat...

I've in the past been recording bass through my mindprint envoice channel strip. I like the sound of the tube compression. I have a direct box, but i was wondering if plugging into the 1/4" input on the mindprint accomplishes the same thing the direct box would do. I notice alot of people use...

I current have a delta omni studio and the breakout box has two headphones which i use all the time when tracking. My question is: Can i use headphones with the delta1010? If i need an external headphone amplifier like the 4 channel behringer, is there a way i can leave the patchbay on the...

I have decided to upgrade my pres in the next while. I have various inexpensive units: audio buddy, omni studio (dmp-2), mindprint envoice, SP VTB-1 I'm really interested in a couple really clean pres. I noticed every once in awhile the name Sytek comes up and i've done some research and they...

over past couple days i've tried out several vocal mics as i have posted in the microphone forum. None seemed to suite my voice the way i wanted it too. All the mics seemed harsh in the midrange, which my voice seems to have alot of. Until today...i bought a BLUE dragonfly and my problems...

This mic was ordered from zzounds 2 weeks ago. I recorded with it and decided it wasn't the best mic for my voice. I'm open to offers. It's honestly recorded 2 tracks each done in a half hour. email me at frist44@aol.com Brandon

I just recently bought a rode NTK because of the all the good things everyone had to say about it. I must admit, i think i got a little wrapped up in the "tube talk". My idea of a warm sound wasn't exactly what the tube inside the mic had to offer. After playing with mics and eqing tracks to...

Has peavey stopped making new units? If so where might i find one? Thanks, brandon

I just received my Rode Ntk and Joe meek VC1 in the mail today. I eagerly unpacked them and plugged them in a recorded a sample vocal track. I really liked the sound of the mic, but i was a little surprised at the amount of noise coming from the preamp. I also have a mindprint envoice and a...
