i have a bunch of songs i've recorded over the past year. for this project, they're all acoustic guitar and vocals. over that time i've aquired a lot of new equipment, and the new recordings sound quite a bit different from the older ones. if i'm going to make a whole album, should i redo all...

i use protools and i want a sperate sound card that will do midi outside of protools. it has to be able to input midi then have an output i can connect to the protools interface. i currently have an SB audigy for games and stuff. is there any way i can use that for midi? if not what is a...

i was reading that the RNP is electronically balanced inside the box. does that mean i don't have to use balanced 1/4 inch cables? can i just use regular unbalanced cables and still have a balanced output? also, along the same lines. on my computer's hardware setup should i put the RNP at...

i have an RNC as well as a few plug-in comps that i like (C1, RCL). other than the standard (LA-2A, 1176), what are some good compressors that you guys like (colored/transparent/optical/etc)? as far as EQ's i only use plug ins (waves REQ, and Q10). what are some nice rack EQ's i could look...

i'm getting better at recording audio, but i don't have the first clue about midi. i have a cable and a midi ready keyboard. i want to start using it to make some cool synth sounds and to build drum loops. i use a digi 001. what software to i need, what additional hardware could i use? any...

i tried a search, but "reason" brings up too many things. i was just wondering what everyone thought of the program and what they use it for and how realistic it sounds etc...Thanks.

i use wave bundles in protools. i typically like compressors - rcl and c1 eq - REQ 6/10 and Q10/4 limiters - L1 reverbs - Rverb and True verb most everything else is really limited in usage and/or quality. what do you think of the waves stuff? and which ones are transparent/colored etc...

i am a huge Beatles fan. i thought everyone in the world was until i did a search and found out how many of you disagree. but anyway, i do a lot of fingerpicking and playing like on the white album (Julia, Blackbird etc.). i was wondering if anyone knew of a way to recreate that sort of...

i have a decent digital set up, but i would love to move over to tape sometime soon. i have the outboard gear i'd need to record to tape then dump it into protools for the mixing and editing. i was just wondering how i might go about this transition, and what tape recorder would be a good one...

can anyone suggest a good ad/da converter for PT digi001? ideally i would like 8 channels and it has to have the lightpipe ins and outs and obviously be compatable with protools on windows XP. i'm looking at the Alesis AI-3 (or AE-3?) for about $400. if you have any other suggestions (any...

i've got one of those stedman metal popfilters. i normally wouldn't have paid for it, but i needed a filter and with the mic deal i got it was only $10 more than the nylon ones. i like it, and i think it is superior to the others. what do you guys and gals think?

what mics have you guys been using for background vocals on rock/indie records? i'll give you the list of mics available: Shure Sm57's Octava MK 319 Rode NTK Rode NT5's Shure Beta 52 i know a few of those won't work, i'm not sure if the others will, any suggestions or other mics would be...

when i record other people's vocals into my NTK they sound really good and i don't notice much of an exateragtion in the sibalents. when i go to my own vocals i think they sound really good, but i notice an increase in sibalents. i'm pretty sure it's the microphone that's doing this. do you...

i've got a digi 001 and i am looking for a way to utilize the lightpipe inputs. i'm looking for something like an 8 channel patchbay or something with 8 - 1/4inch inputs and the lightpipe outs so i can double the number of simultaneous inputs.

two quick related questions... 1) i'm recording my own music, how good should the mix be before mastering? some of the instruments sound a little distant or muffled. so far they're good, but not really good. 2) how much should i expect to spend (per song) mastering. i don't even know if the...

i've been doing some drum recording. i've got a set of nt5's as overheads, a few sm57's for snare etc. but i don't have a good mic for the kick. what do you guys suggest?

what is headroom? why is it important? how does it effect the overall volume of a mix? i know more is better, but i don't know why. thanks.

does anyone have any good settings for the focusrite voice master pro? i'm looking for something that will work with a small body taylor acoustic guitar. i know this is for vocals, but if i can get a good guitar sound too that would be rad. i'm also looking for a place to start with the vocal...
