    A few questions relating to monitoring

    1. I was told to go for krk rokit 6's instead of rokit 5's. I decided to go with the 6's. Now I have the option to go for the 8's. An incredibly trust worthy source around here told me monitors up to 10" will work with my room, but I'm concerned the going for 8's instead of 6's would be...

    a firewire mixer battle

    I'm ready to buy a interface and start using cubase. I settled on getting a full duplex firewire mixer with 8 xlr ins. I'm just having a tough time choosing between an Alesis Multimix 16 ($450) , a Phonic 18 Universal ($580), and a Mackie Onyx 1620i ($730). From what I understand they're all...

    Buy a channel strip vs. "building one"

    I'm at that time of year again where I get a summer job and start being stupid and blowing my money on gear :D I've bought nice amps, guitars, and other goodies, but never took the time to get solid recording equipment. In my ignorance I just got whatever preamp was cheap. Never bought a stand...

    up to this point, everytime ive heard "drum sample" ive thought of someone pressing buttons on the drum pad, or programming drums some way like that. i was doing some reading today and read about people putting samples on (what im pretty sure were real/acoustic/mic'd) drums during mixing; mainly...

    Level Monitoring? (dBu, dBm, dBvsxakdjsnj, wtf?!)

    I finally dived into gain staging and such. Now, I know what dB stands for. But now I'm finding out that there's other dB variations. And I don't know what they mean. I also wonder how to monitor my levels properly when i'm recording to see where they're at. I've been going into a Tascam that...

    Multitrack DAW vs. Software

    I don't know which way to go. What would you say is better? The main draw keeping me from software is that it seems like a hassle messing with interfaces and all of that stuff coming from using a Tascam 8 track daw that I just plug the outboard chain into an input with. My budget is $650. The...
