I got the FMR RNP (Really Nice PreAmp) the other day and man... I just have to tell ya'll, this is the sweetest upgrade since my condensor 10 years ago. Guitars are so shiny now and a WHOLE LOT less "brittle", and eliminated most all of the room noise I used to get running through my cheap...

I got the FMR RNP pre (actually will get it tomorrow) Never owned a pre before besides what came onboard my mixers. I will be lugging it into a Tascam DAW. So... Do I need to set the gains on the DAW down and crank the preamp up, or do I set the gains on the DAW about midway... I know this is...

Been using the Pod 2.0 for about 9 years now. Just purchased the UX2 based on reviews and its seeming versatility. Would users of this call it an upgrade or an addition? Furthermore, what do you guys think of the UX2?

Hey guys- I have a dilemma and maybe you can help me solve it. Currently, I am looking at upgrading some long overdue equipment. First, to put things into perspective let me tell you what I am doing and what I use- I am utilizing two condensers for acoustic guitar recordings, a single...

After reading these posts for a while now, I have come to the conclusion that if I spend any less than about $500 for a USED preamp, I will pretty much be throwing away my money. Better to invest in a PS3 right? With so many different pres to choose from, and a budget I cannot afford to buy...

I'm so excited! And I just can't hide it!!! I am signing a deal tomorrow night with a guy who is trading me a brand new (almost) complete PA system complete with stands, mics, snakes, racks, etc., as a trade out for a production from the ground up. I am going to sell this as a package and do...

I must be the biggest dummy in the world. I have not found a way to open a file currently being used in Cubase 5 to Wavelab 4, or any external wave editor for that matter. The manual also does not have any information on how to do this. The only option I have that I am aware of is to open the...

I am getting another condenser (Rode NT3) for the studio to work with my NT2. But I was wondering if anyone uses SM57s to record acoustic guitar in conjunction with their condensers? If so what do they think? I have heard of acts using 57s for everything in their studio b4, but I am not going...

Does anyone own a set of these? What do they think if so?

Just wondering if anyone still uses VST/32? I have never upgraded since I bought the producer pack 10 years ago. I know the program pretty well, and am afraid of the learning curve of upgrading to any of the newer versions. Have been thinking about 5 lately.... Also, does anyone have latency...

I am having big troubles with my MIDI that I never had before until recently. To give a brief summary, I have been using the same DAW for several years now, a US-428 Tascam unit (USB 1.1) with Cubase VST/32 and am trying to figure out if it is my DAW, my software, or *gulp* my PC, or maybe even...

I use Sampletank 2.5, and some of the drumkits available are alright. I also use a Boss DR770, and those too are alright. I want to add to my library, and Ocean Drums are out of the question due to their very high price. What do you guys use and are you satisfied with the results? It is hard...

I am using a Tascam US428 DAW with the latest drivers and have Sampletank 2.5 installed with the latest updates. I am having issues I never had before with Sampletank 1.1. Using a MIDI controller with ST 2.5, in the middle of playing and recording MIDI notes while listening in real time, it...

Over the next few days, I am going to give a recap on the conception of my humble recording studio loaded with pics. I learned so much from this forum, the guys in here are irreplaceable in their knowledge, and to that I thank you all. Our studio will open in mid December, and we already have...

I have been using a MIDI controller for about 10 years, but have never fully understood the complete concept of mapping. Is it as simple as it sounds? What I want to do is use my Boss DR770 drum machine to utilize my sampletank 2.5 drumkit "sounds". My controller has a MIDI IN, OUT and THRU...

We are finishing up our studio and wondering if I am heading in the right direction. We have a lot of 2 x 4 lumber left over from construction and a lot of fiberglass insulation. We need some absorbers placed throughout. We are about to cut the 2 x 4 to make frames and pack with insulation...

Hey guys- I started the thread "First pics of my new studio" back in February, and got a lot of awesome ideas to help me complete my building from the ground up. I need some advice on the final treatment of my small room. It is a 6' x 16' rectangle "hallway" with a 7' 2" ceiling at its highest...

I have all the necessary tools to make a pleasant recording: DAW, Multitrack software, wave editor, small mixer, mics, POD - however, I do not have any rackmountable equipment. I use a lot of plugins (waves gold). If you were in my shoes and could only purchase one more piece of hardware for...

Does anyone have any input about the two Firewire DAWs? I am seriously considering the upgrade, and was wondering if anyone used them. I have found a couple of reviews on MF and AMS, and they are good- but too few to make a decision.... Just wondering!

I am hoping to get some answers for my Pod- I am not a lead player- so i do not use" like a player would. Is there a good website i can go to get presets for my pod 2.0 i can print off and program to my unit so i can have tones on the fly? does anyone have any suggestions as to what elese i...
