Hi Fellers, I am getting ready to record a song w/ my band this week, and I really want to try and get that super dry, airtight drum sound that the Eagles seemed to get a lot. Also think of "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac and you'll know what I am talking about. There is not a lot of toms being...

Hello All! I am going to be transferring some drum tracks from a Tascam 388 to my PC for furthur overdubbing and mixing. My plan is to use my ADAT XT and the ADAT connect card to buss the stuff in and turn it into WAV files. I have been reading about A/D conversion.. My question is this, in...

Ok, I admit it I like No Doubt! There, I said it. What I really like about No Doubt is how that guys bass sounds on the recordings (especially Return of Saturn). Does anyone have any info about how that record was recorded or what bass/amp combination he used, I think I have seen him play...

Hi all, I want to use my ADAT XT to rout signal from my mixer digitally into my PC, and then play those signals back through the ADAT into the mixer. I have the ADAT PCR card, and have kind of made it work. Is there a way for my to keep the ADAT in a mode that allows me to sent digital signal...

Twonks tiny brain not figure out!! Hello all, is there a way to run my Control Room mix and a set of head phones separately. So when I hit the solo button the person w/ the head phones dosent hear it?

Yeah I've read a lot of good things about the Mackies. But right now I need cheaper monitors $1600 is just too steep at this time. I almost think that the Yamahas would be like a trial by fire. Or training wheels, depending on how you look at it. God, I am so torn!

Allright...here it goes: When mixing, I have heared it is best to do most of it in MONO and then A/B it w/ stereo to figure out where to put stuff. I have a Mackie 1604 VLZ is keeping all of the channels to the center considered MONO? Dont Hit me, Twonk

Hi, I am currently borrowing a friends Tannoy Reveals (passive). I have been very happy w/ them and am considering buying a pair myself. I have been using the Alesis Monitor Ones, and all of my mixes had been sounding real crappy on other systems. So these Tannoys have been a god send. I...

More ADAT questions.... I have two ADAT XTs, I have been transferring my 16 tracks out of the ADATs into the computer. The problem is, all 16 tracks have the same start time, but I have to transfer in 1 tape at a time. So, I put one set of tracks in. everything is cool. Switch the lightpipes to...

Thats it !! I can no longer use ADATs, they are unreliable and crappy! There, I said it. I have two ADAT XTs, one of which I have had for 3 1/2 years. That machine has eaten 6 tapes and been to the repair shop 4 times! I have been working on a recording for 2 months now, and had finally...

Hi, I am a digital baby through and through, ADATs, PC the whole 9. However I just aquired an AMPEX ATR 700 2 track for like $50. I plan on using it for the occasional mixdown and live to 2 track recordings. The key word in that sentence was "Plan". I dont really know a whole lot about this...

This question may be too general, but here it is. Does anyone have any general tips for normalizing files in SoundForge? I have several songs that I would like to put onto a cd, and I would like them to be nice and loud and even. So c'mon, give a brotha' the info. Thanks!

Hiya, does any one if there is a technical and/or sonic between difference between a Mackie 1604VLZ and their larger borads like the 24.8 or 32.8? Or am I better off spending $ on an older used board of the Soundcraft or MCI variety? Thanks for any thoughts Luv ya!

I would just like to get some opinions of this mix. I know the wacky conga break is a bit annoying so see if you ignore it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I just want to say that I love this mic so F*ckin' much, I cant stand myself! I was looking for good overhead mics (a pair) and a mic that would record vocals and acoustic guit like crazy and I found the TC30K, and it kicks ass on everything (not electric bass). Everything recorded w/ them sound...
