    Cheap instrument plugins for teenage beginner?

    My 15 y.o. daughter wants to start recording the music she makes up. She's a pianist, but she's talked about making it "sound like an orchestra'. Her interests lie in the new-agey sort of music she hears as soundtracks to video games and anime cartoons. My experience to date has been all...

    Cassette deck signal really weak

    I have a few old cassettes around, demo tapes that I or my friends played on in the '80s. I'd like to transfer them to digital through my Scarlett 2i4. So, I dug out my old Denon DRM-710 cassette deck. I bought it new in the late '80s IIRC, it was at the time a mid-to-high-end consumer grade...

    Is this laptop worth an ything for recording?

    I just inherited a Dell Inspiron 1545 from my daughter. She switched to a Chromebook because never says "no" to any little thing that pops up on her screen, and the computer was basically useless because it was all junked up with malware and other useless stuff. It took me all day to get it...

    Anybody have a working 246 (or equivalant)?

    A recent Internet search revealed that a singer I recorded a demo with 25-ish years ago died last year. This put in me in a nostalgic mood, and made me realize our old demo should be better preserved that a couple cassettes sitting in my desk drawer. Better yet, I'm wondering if modern...

    Noob asks, "What should I do with this computer?"

    Here are the specs on the computer (and its hard drive) that I'm planning to use for introductory DAW recording. I haven't yet decided on the software. For my purposes, it'll be used for recording guitars, bass and vocals, probably with sequenced drums. At least one of my kids will want to use...

    Beginner's Luck (and good luck with that)

    I posted this for my buds over at my usual on-line haunt, the TDPRI, but thought you guys might appreciate it, too. Looks like I might need to start hanging around here more in the near future. Tonight at dinner I got wind of my youngest (13 y.o.) daughter wanting a microphone to record...

    WTB: Live stage vocal mics (SM57, SM58, e835, etc...)

    Edit: Never mind. I found some. Yeah, I know this is a recording forum, but... I need a few more vocal mics for rehearsals at home and the occasional live gig. I already have an SM58 and an SM57, so I'm interested in more of either of those, or the Sennheisers: e835, e840, e935. Might also...

    Why no chatter about the Shure LDC's?

    I've been looking at spec sheets, etc for my first large-diaphragm condenser. Consider the usual suspects, AT2035, MXL, Rode NT1-A. I notice there is almost no mention around here (or The Gear Page) of the Shure PG27, PG42, and SM27. Why? My first thought is they seem to be about $50 more...

    Zoom HD8 Users, or Former Users?

    A friend of mine recent gave me a lightly-used Zoom HD8 hard disk recorder/mixer. Looking at completed eBay auctions, I believe I paid the correct amount for it, though it's still a serviceable piece of gear four years after being discontinued. Anyway, its arrival has prompted me to finally...
