is it necessary to use a shockmount for the mxl 603s? i've seen them around the itnernet but i spoke to a guy today who said just using the clip that comes with the mic will do a good job

hey. i just purchased a roland VS2400CD digital mixer and now im shopping around for monitors. do i need digital monitors to get the most out of my new system? or could i use a pair of regular Yorkville YSM-1's and still get a pretty decent sound. i dont have too much money to spend but i'd...

im still looking at getting a new mixer to do some recordings and now im stuck debating between the digi002 and the vs2400. both have their perks but im wondering what you would recomend in terms of sound quality, effects, flexibility, and overall usage

so at my work today we had a guy come in with a Maxi Studio ISIS PCI soundcard which he wants to sell on consignment for $150 CDN. it seems pretty nice especially with the 8 inputs and the midi ports. my question is... is it any good? i paid almost $300 for my delta 44 used and that only has...

the name of the topic says it all. i have a bunch of them on my computer but i havent been able to figure out how to write songs using them and/or how to save them in the song. im using nuendo to do my recordings

i've never worked with rack preamps but i was wondering... if you use rack preamps and then go to your mixer (which has preamps) wouldnt the mixers preamps just naturally cancel out the rack gear? or wouldnt it at least change the signal so that it isnt just the rack pre you're hearing?

this is gonna sound like a really stupid question but its been buggin me. i understand the basic use of mixers however i've often wondered what good some mixers can be for recording. theres been many of times when i see mixers and they have the mon outs and the aux outs. i could see these...

hey. i've often wondered how to soundproof my drum room and make it better for a studio sound. i've been told plenty of times that by using egg cartons this can be achieved. im sure if this was the case, it wouldnt be nearly as good as getting real accoustic treatment stuff but is there truth to...

Here's my new snare: U-Drum Custom - Blue Sparkle - Yellow Hoops - Red Tube Lugs - 10 ply with 10-ply reinforcement rings - Two 2 1/8 inch vents - Nickel strainer more pictures to come (these are the best ones i have but there are more) i love the colours on this thing! a few...

im kinda new at recording so this may sound like a stupid question but do any of you feel like sometimes you are using more mics than necessary? like perhaps using 3 mics at once to record an accoustic just just to an effect. not neccessarily keeping all the mics at a high level but just adding...

is there anywhere that i could get a program or plug in to use with fruity loops to get a realistic guitar sound? the ones in fruity loops sound so fake.

hey does anyone know which mics were used to record these snares? their snares sound awesome and i have one very similar to both of theirs and i cant get the drum to sound as good as theirs when its miced. my snare sounds pretty good and close to theirs but whenever i mic it it sounds more like...

whenever im in the wave editing mode it doesnt let me hear any playback. it really sucks especially when im adding an effect on it. whenever im in multitrack mode it works perfect. any advice for how to fix this?

ok i've seen a few different mics that look exactly like the 57. my question is do these clones work as good if not better than the 57? i know looks dont make up the sound of the mic but i just thought if someone was going to make an exact copy of it they would make it sound roughly the same

if i mic a guitar amp up close with a large diaphragm condenser will it break the mic? i have a new apex 430 and i've never used condensers before so im not quite too sure of the do's and dont's of condenser micing

how do you do this? i have my main beats set and i have all the looping parts set but i wanna work on th song as a full 3 minute song rather than 25seconds. i've tried saving it as a wav file but it only saves 25 seconds and if i loop it on my own it doesnt sound right

does anyone know if they do? from what i've read, they dont but i have one and im getting no sound out of it right now so im thinking its either a bad mic or it needs phantom power

ok today i bought my first condenser and i got a shock mount. it seems pretty easy to set up but i noticed there were two more rubber bands. what do i do with these bands? are they simply a backup?

ok so i bought a new delta 44 today and i've taught myself how it works and whatnot. On my computer i have 2 different soundcards (an audigy and the delta). right now i have the delta44 set as the default recording card and the audigy is the playback card. i can record and playback no problem...
