Though I've been recording for a while and have composed a number of songs, I've never much played with samples/ samplers. The things I hear about them (like the orchestral libraries out there on the market) sound like they would make a great tool for the compositions I do. But I'm not totally...

Just got both of these mics recently and used them on a session the other day. Tried the B1 on acoustic guitar and it sounded really nice. Then we were going to track vox. She's a mildly gritty blues style singer so I thought it would be a good chance to try out the 4033. I had used one from a...

I've heard a couple people mention recently that they use a motu 896 and 2408 in their studio. I was just curious if anyone knows if these two units can be operated simultaneously (a firewire device and a pci device) during recording. I thought at one time I heard it mentioned that you couldn't...

I was just wondering if anyone has done any comparison on these two mics. I've been reading alot about how neautral both mics seem to be and both are getting some good props around here. I'm mostly recording acoustic instruments (piano, violin, guitar, etc. ) but some vox and heavier stuff from...

Ok, don't mean to sound stupid, but will protools hardware only work with protools software? In other words, will the 002 system work with Logic (or some other program) so that you can record more than just 32 tracks? If not, can you/ how do you get more than 32 tracks? I currently work with...

Just was wondering if anyone has heard the diffferance between the Digimax and the Mackie VLZ pres. I've been using the Mackie pres for a while and have really been looking at the Digimax (96k one) pretty hard. The lightpipe would be convenient along with the analog outs. What differances have...

Don't mean to belabor the "what's the best mic" topic, but I figure this is a bit more specific. Most people are looking for R&B, Hip-Hop, or rock vox mics in here. I would like some opinions on a mic I would primarily use for 1st: classical (emphasis female sop.) vox, 2nd:four-part-small-choir...

Can anyone give recommendations on a multi (like seven) CD burner. Someone recommended the EZDupe machines to me. I wanted to find out if anyone has success/horror stories with some other brands. thanks in advance- david

I'm not certain what the problem is. I'm using DP3. I'll make a mix of song material using the "bounce to disk" command, running the mix through "Waves; Ren. comp/limiter" to lift the levels. Even though I'm slaming the comp/limiter (there are parts of the wave-form that are so limited they look...

Does anyone have a bead on where I can price a RNP besides mercenary.com? I'm not having a problem finding pricing on a RNC, but the same people aren't carrying the RNP in conjuction with the RNC (go figure). Also, if someone could clarify things with the RNC I would appreciate it. Can that...

hey all, You've all been so helpful in the past I'd thought I'd throw another question your direction in regards to your mics of choice for recording choirs and maybe some chamber music. I'm looking at getting a pair of mics that I can also use for various studio applications (ovhead drum...

hey guys, Got a quick and possibly stupid question, but does anyone know if protools LE software will work with MOTU hardware without having one of the digidesign interfaces/PCI cards. I have MOTU interfaces and PCI card and wanted to work in conjuction with a friend that uses the 001 interface.

I've been looking at putting together a remote set-up including an iBook. I'm working in DP3 right now (but I've been thinking of going the Logic route) on a G4. I was looking into motu's 896 and found some other people saying that the RME converters blow the 896 away. Are there any happy RME...

I know I posted a similar question a couple weeks ago (not trying to junk up the board), but now I'm looking for a little more detail about wire gauges for different applications. I'm probably going to buy some bulk cable (canare or gepco are looking like winners) to make a couple different...

First question: for XLR-XLR connections should I use quad style cables? second question: What guage? I'm looking at 20 channels for 175-200ft. I know that's a little long, but I'm in an akward set-up right now. Any recommendations on brands (other than monster- oh my God, 4000 ft of monster...

First off I would like to thank all those involved with the discussion on why one would need studio monitors instead of just using headphones. I haven't check this site for a few days, so I really enjoyed all the "intellectual" highlights of the question. Thank you Cathy and all respondants of...

Hey computer guru people, I'm still kinda new at all this stuff, but I really like to toy around with all this recording junk, so I gots a question. Will running optical inputs from the Adats into the 2408 release pressure from the computer processor (instead of running straight analog...

hey gurus, I just recently got the motu2408mkII after lots of consideration and looking around at other products. But I've been running into some problems when I'm using it. I'm using the Audio desk program that came with the unit and a mac G3 350 with 256 megs ram. What happens is that every...

I'm still getting started with recording stuff but already I can see the need for integrating computer tech. stuff with the Adat XT20 and Mackie 1604-vlz i already work off of. What I'm mostly interested in is getting more auidio tracks (as many as possible). I thought I'd set up a dream list...

I just got a new mini-home studio set-up going. When I do a mix on the Alesis Monitor One speakers I have (powered by a Peavey M-2600 amplifier), the mix sounds decent. However, when I play the same recorded mix back through a standard stereo system (which is in the same room)it sounds like...
