    DW extension pedal

    Hey I have a DW 5000 series kick drum pedal and I was wondering if there was an extendor pedal I could buy that would turn it into a double pedal to save some bucks. Anyone know anything? I know some pearl pedals have this option. Thanks

    Do you guys use your recording sound card for other things? (music/games)

    Well obviously I bought my sound recording card (aardvark direct pro 24/96) for sound recording but recently I've been curious as if it would be any good for listening to music or playing games (like battlefield 1942)? I've been using my onboard sound Nvidia Nforce 2 soundstorm which... i dont...

    Recording guitar direct from FX pedal

    Okay guys... Today I recorded clean guitar tracks for my band and it went great, but trying to get the distorted guitar was a nightmare. I've read a ton of info and techniques on recording guitar and I tried many of them... I just couldn't get a good sound out of my guitar player's 100 W...

    upgrade / trade-in from aardvark dp 24/96?

    Awhile back I got a direct pro 24/96 and I do really like it in every area except for the fact that it has no inserts. I would like to use some effects while recording (like a limiter/compressor) and i do not want to buy external pre-amps so i can do this. So I was just kind of casual...

    converting 16/44 to 24/96?

    Alright well I was planning to record a mic into a Boss BR1180 at the same time as four other mics going into my aardvark direct pro 24/96 so I could mic both toms on my drum set. I would then transfer the one audio track from the BR1180 to the PC (prolly S/PDIF) and then mix them all together...

    Alright I was originally planning to record my band at my friend's (the guitar player) house but now I might have the opportunity of using my school's band / choir / practice room. The band and choir rooms are very large (band larger than the choir) with tall ceilings. The ceiling in the band...

    Possible to use the Boss BR1180 as a mic pre?

    I have a PC setup with an Aardvark Direct Pro 24/96 that I absolutely love except for one thing: it has no inserts so i cant use outboard gear unless i buy a external pre-amps (which i have no money for at the moment... ive already invested sooo much). I just purchased a DBX 119 compressor...

    Aardvark Direct Pro 24/96 users: no way to use outboard gear??

    I know that the unit doesnt have inserts so I'm guessing that I can't use the Aardvark's pre-amps then. However if I were to get an external pre-amp and then go into say a compressor.... could I then hook up the compressor to the aardvark? If I connect to the Aardvark with a 1/4" cord from...

    HDD partition suggestions please!

    I have an 80GB (i know not the biggest) 7200 rpm SeaGate Barracuda HDD that I want to set up in my Shuttle SN45G. The PC isn't solely a DAW I access the internet / word process / some games / etc but mostly it is for audio recording. I was thinking of making three partitions on the HDD: one...

    Looking for sources on the history of home recording...

    Okay this probably isn't the right section but there really isn't one that fits real well. For my high school senior project I am recording my band with my DAW and for my paper I am writing about how advances in technology have changed the home recording "scene".... (ie: how its gone from...

    Song sample - please critique mix / sound

    I just recently got into home recording with the purchase of an Aardvark Direct Pro 24/96 and N-track software. To test out everything I recorded a couple of my friends playing a small part of a song (dont remember what its called) just to mess around. It should be known that the mics I used...

    Looking for suggestions/opinions on recording set up I'm thinking about...

    I am just getting into home recording and have been researching for the past couple of days for some of the best options for my band. Our band consists of drums, 2 guitars, and bass (me). We play a variety of music... (hard to describe) its probably a mix of rock/metal or something like that...
