    Temporary Cieling tratment

    I'd like to get something on the cieling in my tracking room. My studio is in an aluminum shed, concrete foor, the walls are nothing but sheetmetal and steel beams. It sounds... LIVE! heh... I have a pressboard wall structure, and a ping pong table turned on it's side- those are my "walls" above...

    Charlotte NC Mars "high end" mic room

    They had quite a nice room in that store for the condensor mics. Completly enclosed, almost sound-proof, and very dead. Perfect! I was there with a friend and drug him in there to sing into the mics two. Here's my impressions... My favorites on my voice: 1. Alesis AM11- absolutely wonderfull...

    ART DiO preamp

    http://www.artroch.com/products_detail.asp?PRODUCTID=83 I haden't seen this product until i stumbled upon this... dual channel tube pre with digital out, costing less than ART's dual MP! I think the price will sucker me into buying this thing. Pre-amp wise it has to be right on par with the...

    Well... MY GL 496 and my Delta 1010 are sitting comfortably with each other, sharing the same IRQ no less! I am able to record with both it seems. wooho! 12 analog ins! so here's the test... Chimes and blocks miced with a NT-1 through a Mackie 1402, split to the two cards. I recorded at 24 bit...

    New Delta 1010, New problems,

    I just Upgraded today from a GL 496 to a Delta 1010. :) hoorah! but... I run a multiprocessor machine, or at least I try to. I couldn't with the GL 496, was stuck using 1 processor due to lack of drivers. I thought the Delta card would solve this problem... well, it might. now a rant about...

    The ultimate enclosuer for a portable DAW

    www.lunchboxcomputers.com How cool would that be! Doubt I can afford it though. While I have you guy's attention... I do want a rackmount system though. My work will likely cause me to move back to the city, but I'll still keep the studio here at the farm. I've been thinking about a few...

    Free AKG 2000B. worth it?

    Right now at Guitar Satan, you can get a free 2000B when you buy a dbx 386 dual mic pre, or a 376 channel strip. cool. a 386 is on my "to get" list, but I was going to wait until after I got a new soundcard, and a pair of overheads. but with this deal I'm thinking... hey I'll buy it tomorrow...

    where are my wave files?

    huh? I did some tracking tonite and somehow the wave files didn't show up where I wanted them. This haden't happened before. I can't find them anywhere! I can hear them, so I know that they exist somewhere on one of my hard drives. The files aren't in the default folder. not in the folder I...

    squareish control room

    it's 10' by 11' A door on each of three walls. SE, NE, NW, corners. Because of the doors, I can't even setup centered on any wall because of the doors! how can I treat this room? It is certinly not ideal for a control room in any way, but it will have to do for now. The walls are particle...

    preparing for master

    How close to zero can/should I push the meters on mix considering that there will be matering done and mixing to .wav files? How should I mix with the final master in mind? For instance, I'm working with Cubase, should I simply turn down the master fader to where there are no peaks throughout...

    micing up a BIG kit

    We are exspanding the studio, hopefully by march we'll have a MOTU 24i and a Mackie 1602 (or that's the plan for now) My drummer's kit looks like something held over from an 80's hair band :D It's a 9 piece kit + Rototoms + timbales + lots and lots of cymbals. All in all we'll have 19 mics for...

    the pop from nowhere

    It started two days ago. Whenever any audio is played back throught my GL 496, I get these random pops. I had had a few isolated incidences of this before, but now it's like 20 pops a minute! Makes mixing annoying at best, I haven't tried recording yet, I'm tring to finish up mixing a project...

    Mirrors srorriM

    There's probaly 200 square feet of mirrors lying in a corner of my studio. My cousin owned a hair salon, that's where they are from. I thought it would be neat to put them up in the studio, but I'm wondering if it would be a bad idea acoustically. I could make my studio look twice as big as it...

    My drummer has decided to throw down with me on getting some recording gear. So my options for future spendage has increased x2 :)! The MOTU 24i seems awsome 24 analog inputs! WOW! but only 2 outputs :(! I'm afraid that setting up headphone mixes would be a total nightmare! And I love being able...

    in over and over my head

    MC012? AT 3525? Mainly for overheads. (and don't give me other options! :D)I can't decide! I'm torn about which I should buy. I went to Guitar Satan and "auditioned" a MC012. I thought it sounded great, very accurate, and very natural. I didn't feel like I was listening to a microphone in...

    Wavelab and Vegas?

    Can I not use Wavelab as my audio editor in Vegas Pro? When I select Wavelab as my preferred editor, and then open up a selection in the editor, Wavelab opens up, but the file does not open up in Wavelab. I've searched around the help files of both programs to see if there is something that I...
