Amazing, Dave, thanks for pointing this out! I didn’t realize this was possible. So basically as I understand it, this interface has an on board mixer and I can use it to apply reverb to the vocals input and send that to headphones to monitor? Then I take it I would just turn fader all the way...

Thanks Dave. Running everything through the mixer was the option I initially presented…. What do you mean by needing the mixer to give a “clean feed of the reverb so you did not record it”?? Totally newb here with the terminology, sry.

Thanks Mike. I get what you’re saying about the reverb. But if I like the reverb sound of the mixer better than what I get from the software, does it really matter so much that I’m stuck with what I get out of the mixer? Also, if I don’t have reverb, then I hear no reverb live, right? I feel...

Thanks for your feedback Dave. When you say what you say about feeding from the MOTU to the mixer for reverb, I'm a little confused.... Are you saying the chain is: vocals mic and acoustic guitar > interface > then signal goes to both computer and to mixer... and then I monitor by plugging...

Thanks for your reply. I edited the original post to include the Imac specs. What you're saying about micromanaging makes sense. I've been setting up the room in the best way I can, and definitely plan to do some experimenting in the near future when I have things set up... but I thought I would...

Hi all, I have some very beginner questions about setting up my home studio signal chain with some equipment I have access to. Sorry in advance for the lengthy message. Here's the equipment: Audio interface: Motu896mk3 Computer: 2020 27 inch Imac w/ 3.3 ghz, 6 core processor (w/ garageband)...

Hi all, So, I recently upgraded from the Boss RC-2 Loopstation to the RC-3 because the RC-3 has USB capability. The manual says that not only can one upload tracks from the RC-3 to computer, but you can write WAV files from computer to the RC-3. My question is this: I have a few drum loops in...

I'm new to using effects pedals. I just bought some pedals. I have a chain of about 4 pedals and most of them give you two options for the input and output jacks: mono or another option which isn't given a name (so I'm guessing this is stereo?). I plug my guitar (fender strat) in through the...

Hey everyone, I've been gone from my basement apartment for a few weeks and just returned to see my room has some sort of leak on floor level...half of my carpet is soaked (probably no more than a half an inch of rainwater came in)...I'm assuming it's from rainwater that seeped through from the...

For recording electric guitar (I play ambient, some distortion, lots of reverb, delay, etc.), which would work better and why, the Electro voice RE20 or the Shure SM7B? As a followup question, which would be better for recording vocals?

Hey, I'm very new to the world of acoustic treatment...I have two conditions here... I want to avoid wasting money on pre-made bass traps and foam. I also want to avoid having to nail them into the walls... Would it be enough to just buy some Owens Corning 703, cover it in fabric and build some...

I have a Fender Deluxe Reverb and am looking to do some home recording with it. I've read that for recording purposes, it's better to have both the cabinet and head pieces. Will the head piece make that much of a difference? Gene

Hey, I'm considering getting the Korg M3.... A few questions: I was told that I don't need a midi interface if the keyboard delivers midi via USB. So firstly, does anyone know if the M3 can do this? I can't find it on the website. Furthermore, what's the difference between delivering midi via...

So, I'm about to buy an acoustic guitar....I stumbled across the Martin DX1 and loved the sound (and loved the price even more)....Then I saw the Martin DX1 Tawny ....It's $200 more, but is a hell of a lot more pleasing to the eye...unfortunately I can't find a video to hear how it sounds...My...

Does anyone knows which amp. radiohead used in the studio to record In Rainbows? I know Jonny Greenwood usually uses either a voxac30 or a fender twin for live performance...but does anyone know what he used for In Rainbows int he studio?

So, I'm in the process of building a home recording studio. I'm looking for a new guitar amp...one that will be for recording purposes...however, I would also like it to be able to handle doing small venues (when making your assessment, home recording is definitely the priority, but would be...

Hey, so I was going to buy a Fender DX1 acoustic, but then saw The DX1 Tawney for a few hundred more. I like the Tawney better, but I need the acoustic to be able to plug into an amp for live performance..... Now I know, I could easily get the Tawney and buy a pickup that could plug it into an...

I'm looking for an amp for a home recording studio that I'm setting up... My style, very ambient, lots of effects, guitar-driven, lotsa layring, etc....my style: anything from radiohead to zeppelin, hendrix, sigur ros, elliott smith, andrew bird, etc. Any suggestions on a combo tube amp that...

Hey all, So I'm about ready to order the final elements for my home recording studio and I plan to set everything up in a week or two. However, I have a major concern. Everyone smokes in my apartment. The equipment will be in my room where nobody smokes, but the next room over constantly has...
