    Scored some KRK Rokit 8s (G1) for $300.

    Ordered some Auralex MoPads to go with them. Now I just need some bass traps and diffusers. It's the first time I've invested in monitors. I've always relied on either Sennheiser HD280 Pros or AKG 271 MKIIs (headphones). I'd like to be able to afford some nicer monitors, but for now, these'll...

    Pro Tools HD officially goes native. The catch is, the 'dongle' will still cost you $3500 or something. http://www.aidinc.com/news/101005_newsletter.html#ProTools http://www.gearslutz.com/board/pro-tools-hd-goes-native/

    Ideas for studio/services name! help me out!

    I don't have a physical "studio" other than my home currently, but I want a name to better market myself and my services. I have been brainstorming tonight and I want it to kind of follow along the lines of the following words: lucid (clear, transparent) chaos (messy!) placid (peaceful...

    Rack Case Dimension help

    On the specs for this SKB 8U rack case, it says: Rack Depth Front Rail to Back Lid: 18.75 in Rack Depth Front Lid To Back Lid: 15.75 in If the front lid is outside of the front rail, how is it closer to the back lid? Or does the rail stick out past where the front lid connects, and they're...

    Can I Stay Here Forever (cover)

    Hit it, yo... with all you've got.. tear it apart. If you want, that is. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4703444/music/Can%20I%20Stay%20Here%20Forever.mp3 Just a fun little project. The vocals are far from perfect... I kept them because I recorded most of the parts on video as well and planned on...

    My DIY Rackmount Case (~$70)

    So I had some downtime and decided to go for it. Timeline: 1. Went out to the shop to start building 2. Decided it was necessary to plan/design first in order to not end up screwing up the rack space measurements and all 3. 4 trips to Home Depot 4. Many hours in the shop over the course of a...

    DIY Rackmount Case question!

    My width came out to be slightly too wide, so I narrowed it a bit and I am wondering if it's okay if the distance between the two rails (not the holes, but inside edges of the rails) is 17 and 5/8" rather than 17 and 3/4" like this diagram depicts:

    Lean on Me cover (a band I recorded)

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4703444/music/almosthome/Lean%20On%20Me4.mp3 Feedback? I'm not particularly happy with it. A lot of it comes with the fact that it was tracked in a far-from-preferred room, which was actually a BIG room (music venue) with a ton of hard surfaces. Not sure I'm happy with...

    Digimax LT vs. Profire 2626

    Hey guys, I'm watching a Digimax LT on eBay right now, auction ending in 8 minutes, $315.. should I jump on it or would you recommend a Profire 2626 instead? All I need are the 8 extra inputs (ADAT) into Pro Tools. I've used a Digimax before and it suited me well, but thought maybe I could grab...

    Vocalist hits .393 hz, supposedly. I can vouch for 16.13 hz, though.

    What do you guys think about this?!?! :eek: :cool: http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2010/06/23/128060851/former-gospel-singer-in-guinness-book-of-world-records-for-lowest-note-ever There's a sample of him speaking on that page. Hmmm. Interesting, but I'm not sure if he's actually...

    [Click]? :) One verse, it's an alternative rock'ish tune.

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4703444/MmmRock6.mp3 "The clutch is on the floor as you move into another gear in the mirror, memories fading like the last sun ray evading dark skies..." I do realize the vocals are slightly buried in the second half of the verse when another guitar and pad comes in...

    "Beautiful", pop'ish 'love' song :)

    "Beautiful" - new mix (pop-rock) So, it's been awhile since I've been active here. Or, was I ever that active? :eek: BUT, I'm getting back into the recording world.. getting my head back on straight after running in circles a bit trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do in life. (oh and by...

    Frequent Dropouts in PT LE 7.3.1

    Whenever I record-arm a track, I get frequent dropouts in that audio signal coming in. I have already tried changing the H/W Buffer Size to every option available, and also the DAE Playback Buffer (don't know if that has anything to do with it). Still getting the dropouts. I'm using a Mbox 2...

    Copyright with "Performing Arts" or "Sound Recording"?

    If my band wants to copyright our MATERIAL, and not just necessarily our recording (a 10-song CD), we should go for the Performing Art Works Registration, correct? Just because we copyright the RECORDING itself doesn't mean we're protected from someone stealing our underlying material (which was...
