I bought one of those drum mic clamps- like $14 bucks- what a rip off- but the design gave me a good idea. Basically I'm making my own for little money. Go to Radio Shack (that's the only place that I've found these) and look for a mic clip (the springy V-type) that has a male end. They are...

I've run into some serious problems with my computer. What I thought was the case fan noise, I am now thinking that it is the second CPU fan on my second processor. The noise only happens when I am using windows 2000, not 98, which leads me to believe that it's the CPU fan. But actually wouldn't...

I just got a PPS-1. (ebay for $10.50!) Well not here yet but... Has anybody used this unit? I've never worked with MIDI clock or MTC before so I'm a newbie here. What I'm trying to accomplish is to record to Hard Disk and to casette four track simultaneously, and sync them up later all to disk-...

OK so I have a budget of about $550 to spend on a mixer and some goodies... I'm kind stuck cuz I have a lot of options- so what do you guys think would be best to track primarily a big huge 10 piece drum kit to HD with a gadget labs wave 496? these are the mics a already have access to: Rode...

Ok so I know how to get Vegas to output SMPTE (i think :)) but what out do I use to get it out! The line out of my sound card? I don't have my 424 manual, but.... you input the code into sync in of the 424 and record on track 4 (DBX on sync)... so I just need to go from ?what? into there? do I...

So here's the first big test on the new system here. I've been really busy breaking this thing in, sorry if I haven't been around here much. The drums were done on 4-track- and then bounced down to the computer, and eveerything else was done in Vegas- with a lot of editing on the drums in...

So apparently there is a conflict with the Delta Series of cards when running a dual processor system in Windows 2000. DOH! Well, looks like no Delta 66 for me. So now I've gotta search around and find a card that will work with dual processors in Windows 2000. Or I could try running NT, but...

Has anyone ever had any sucess lining tracks up (I'm using Vegas now) I'm just looking to see if anyones got any tips about the easy way of lining tracks up to time. I need to get some raw drumtracks from my four track into the tracks on Vegas, I've tried once before (with Cakewalk), but not...

Anyone have any comments on the Shure Beta 52. My roomate just got one (along with 2 57's and a TASCAM 424MKIII- the bastard- I should charge him for all the stuff I've learned him In the last week!) I helped engineer his first recoding he's done. And I thought the mic had a nice punch and...

What keyboards do you guys think have the best piano sounds? I find most to be a little too brite. My favorite that I've ever heard was a pretty cheap yamaha that a friend had, but I don't remember the model. It will probably be a while before (and if) I look into getting a keyboard (my Rhodes...

I tried this technique out last night for the first time. Basicly, for those who don't know, it involves taking a send form your mixer, routing that into an amp (tube of course :D) and then micing the amp and sending the signal back to the board. This all takes place during mixdown. You can...

(this is just a note to everyone to keep their minds open) I was recording some direct guitar from my DC-3 recording out, and decided I wanted to try my compressor and BBE in the chain. I didn't feel like repatching everything, wishin I had a patch bay. THen I had an idea! My compressor and...

This is one from way back. I'm just working on the mix here. This is all done on 4-track casette. That's me on vocals and guitars and the Col.'s on upright bass. I didn't have the NT-1 back then, I think I used "the diaper mic" (or that's what we called it-) A CAD22 (cheap) in a... (hmmm... was...

I was cleaning out my room and I found this box.... I open it up- hey! these some cables in here! one was a speaker cable- horizon (hey I wondered where that went) one was a "radio shack" special coiled instrument cable (damn! it won't let me lose it) the other one was a mysterious sort- it...

(another long and confusing post) I thought I was a genius! Ok so I'm taking the l/r RCA out of my TASCAM 424 into my dbx compressor. The signal then goes into a BBE Maximiser (this is usually in bypass mode, sometimes I do useit if I'm compressing heavaly at mixdown). The phono outs on the...

I was just wondering if anyones ever done something like this. I've been running my Art Mp in my effects loop from the mixer, with the phase reversed. Sending a reversed effected signal into the board. (TASCAM 424 BTW) It's a wierd little thing to play around with. With the signal reversed the...

Is a patchbay a patchbay? I mean how do different models compare? How does Beringer compare to Rean (what other models are out there?) What do you guys use? I only have a small handfull of processors and hozits, but even with so few connections I hate having to move stuff around :mad:- doh! I...

Art is supposedly making a A/D converter- actualy a A/D converter with a tube front end. Should be a little over $200 for two channels. If youv'e got near $500, go for the dbx 386 tube mic pre with SPDIF out.

Man I used to write and write and write... Seems like since I've been here my focus has changed dramiticly. Now I'm a gear slut. I've written a few things in the past few months but geez, it's just not enough. I've been through droughts like this before. And I know exactly what it is- I'm...
