I know when I used an art mpa pre with my old aardvark, the pre's almost seemed to cancell eachother out. There was a very vague signal coming thru when I plugged it into the aardvark's 1-4 (phantom powered channels but with phantom power turned off). But when I plugged into the last 4 channels...

I just got my Motu 2408 in the mail today and I'll be setting it up with a couple Tascam's. I installed the PCI card and the program went and installed itself ok and the wave program and CueMix. The seller didn't have the manual or the original discs or anything so I have been sort of doing this...

So I have recently started playing the drums alot more and I've just been focusing on getting the best sound I can get out of my drums. And I've done pretty good with that so far But the most peculiar thing has been happening to me. When I am playing the drums with my vic virth isolation...

Where do the first ideas of a song come from? How much of a transformation takes place? Like many of my idols do it, I find myself writing on acoustic guitar. By the time I'm done and recorded, you would never guess it came from something acoustic.

Hello all. I just picked up an original Motu 2408 on ebay and I have 2 Tascam TM-D1000 mixers on the way. The mixers support bits from 16 to 24 but the original motu tops out at 20 I believe. I've had 24 bit interface before so I'm a bit worried about signal. I guess my main question is, is this...

I'm looking for a 2 channel pre that will be used mainly for drum overheads and mic'ing guitars (mostly acoustic). 300-400 budget used. I'm picking up either the groove tubes "the brick" or the Joe Meek VC1 Q so for the 2 channel I was considering solid state pre 's so I can have both solid...

Ok. Here's the deal. I have about 800-900 dollars readily available to spent on digital mixing. As that is not much money in proportion to how much these units cost new, I want to buy used. Obviously the used DM-24 is gonna be over a grand so I was looking at the TM-1000. Is it possible to...

hello. I just mixed this file down and it has a few kinks in it and sorry about the occasional offbeat drums, I'm more of a guitar player. Let me know what you think about the overall mix. The guitars seem a bit trebley to me, they are the only thing that really bother me. Let me know what you...

If I have 24 tracks OTB analog and I want to compress all of them would I need 12 2-channel out compression units or would I just need one unit that can be dialed into the effects sends all across the board?

Ok. I have an aardvark q10 with 8 trs line outs and am buying a Mackie 24VLZ pro mixer either 4 or 8 bus. I want to buy 2 more aardvarks and D/A sum 24 tracks from the aardvarks into the board for mixdown. Then I wanna sum the final mix A/D out of 2 channels back into the aardvark for mastering...

I just got a Yamaha set not too long ago and it was equipped with the following: 16X23 in size A clear aquarium head on the kick side a yamaha head on the opposite end with a 14" hole in it a felt beater Ok here's the thing , I'm not really diggin the sound of it. Maybe a better way to put it...

I'm looking for the following pieces of gear: FMR/RNC 8380 (1 or 2 ) Aardvark Q10 Shure Beta 52 Mackie 1604VLZ Pro younga@bgnet.bgsu.edu

I know fairly little when it comes to rack gear and pre's. I know what you run your mic thru can be one of the key things when striving for good recorded sound. I've heard of tube pre's, sonic maximizers, and aurual exciters but i'm not too sure what they are really useful for and just how much...

How difficult and expensive would it be to convert analog outs on an interface into digital outs? Probably close to impossible but I was just curious. My pops is really experienced with audio and computers and I would be willing to help him. Is this just a silly dream?

I know they are both pretty decent boards. I'll be using a 16 channel board for mixdown and most soundcraft 16 channels are a bit more pricy than Mackie's. How do the 2 of these compare, pre's, converters, equalizers? Are they quite similar or different? Should I drop a few extra bucks on a...

These are questions about a pretty advanced unit but because the questions are probably really dumb I decided to post them in the newbie section. Anyone own a YAMAHA O1V 96. Question #1: Does this thing store or better yet, does it playback audio in 24-bit or does it rely on a computer to...

I want to close mic everything on my drumset except for the ride which I will deal with through the right overhead . I know there are many out there who feel that using any more than 4 mics (and sometimes 2) is a waste of time and money but I have to believe that there are people out there who...

I have a Mesa 1X12 combo with a line out specifically for recording. I have been focussing alot lately on recording drums so I haven't done much with guitar. What are some good ways to record this (or any) amp? I've heard an SM57 right up close is a good way. Are condensors popular when It comes...

Will the DDX3216 make my 10-channel interface obsolete? Or will I still need it? And if I am using this behringer how will my interface still be useful/handy? Anyone have one of these? They look pretty cool and cheap. Motorized faders, 24-bit, 4 band EQ's on each channel, a bunch of pre-amps...

If anyone would like to sell or know anyone who would like to sell a Kurzweil K2500 synth, I am scouring the net for one. Just let me know.
