    Help me find this mixer

    alright so right now I'm using a yamaha MG16/4 mixer. I love it, but my main complaint is that it doesnt have sweepable mids, and the preamps aren't enough for me anymore. could anyone reccommend a similar mixer with sweep mids and possibly better preamps? i still need 16 channels and 4 outputs...

    Mix lacking brightness

    I use what i would (and so would most people) consider to be fairly bright mics; AT4040, Pro 37's, etc. However, unless I'm cranking the highs over 6dB on everything, none of my mixes seem to have as much high end as albums i listen to (even generally dark sounding ones). I'm not sure what im...

    ethan's bass traps vs putting fiberglass in bag

    alright... i apolagize if i've misunderstood something here, im new at this. ethans bass traps are membrane traps right? a panel is placed in front of the absoprtion material which vibrates, and then the fiberglass kills that vibration. But wouldnt this only work for a very specific frequency...

    door in corner of studio - bass traps?

    I'm finally getting around to fixing up my room acoustically, and the first thing I'm putting in are bass traps; two LENRD's in each corner. My problem is one of the corners (the back left corner if I'm sitting at the mixing desk) has a door, so I cant put bass traps there. What would be the...

    For Sale: Bbe 362nr

    I think the 362 sonic maximizer + noise reduction goes for about $210 new. I've had it for a few months, it hasnt been anywhere besides my smoke-free studio. Perfect condition except for marks from being screwed into a rack. I'm selling it through ebay with a buy now for $180. Once i go on...

    Building Skyline Diffuser

    I've seen a lot of talk about building quadratic diffusers in the past, but I want to make a skyline one with random lengthed 1" or 2" sticks. My questions: 1" square inch or 2" square inch sticks? what would the advantages of each be, and maybe would it even be more effective to mix and match...

    carpet vs. concrete in project studio

    i record and mix in the same room, like most home studio users. My room is unfinished and untreated. the ceiling is bare with vents and pipes, etc. because the walls are unfinished, there are weird irregular shapes in the walls everywhere. anyways, i have the option of having either carpet or...

    crashes as hi-hats

    I went to go see a sigur ros show recently, if anyone here is into them ('twas an absolutely amazing show). The drummer had massive hi-hats. I'm pretty sure they were actually two 16" crashes. so i decided to steal this idea because for whatever reason i don't like hi-hats. so instead i'm going...

    cubase SE vs. Sonar homestudio 4

    I hope this hasnt been asked too much, i did a search and didnt find much. Both of these programs are the same price. I have an audiophile 2496 and need software. All i'm using it for is to mix down onto my computer, and then maybe some slight 'pre-master' tweaking, as i do not have the...

    Copyright complications

Well i read it and maybe i just didnt get it but i still dont have my answer. I have a "project" that, at its core, is me and...

Anyone have any suggestions as to...
