Hello all, In a different thread I posted about my need to digitally transfer a DAT tape to a computer readable format (AIFF or WAVE). I have been unsuccessful in finding a DAT player to do the transfer with. Is there anyone on the board here who has the means and would be willing to transfer...

Hello, One of my bandmates did a solo gig today, and the soundperson recorded the show for him for some reason. After the show I get handed a DAT tape to transfer and 'master' it. (Goodness knows I'm the last person to know anything about mastering, but I can improve it a bit) Problem is, I...

Hi all, I'm looking for suggestions for something to do portable digital 2-track recording with, in such applications where it is desirable to plug a couple mics into a mixer or preamp and connect to the recording device. Something small would be desirable. The first and only thing other than...

Hi all, I'm the music director for a community theatre, and we're performing "A Midsummer Night's Dream" with bits of music thoughout it. The music has all been tracked, and I have pretty much finished mixing, but I was wondering if there is anyone here that might be able to master it for me...

Hi all, I just purchased a Yamaha MG10/2 to use with my Delta 1010LT. I'm curious as to how other have it set up. what I've noticed is that the first two preamps have insert jacks, which in the past is what I have used to patch to the Delta. The board does, however, have other outputs. Stereo...

More of less, I'm concerned about the electric guitars, and if they sound like they've been tracked right. I have very little experience with recording electric guitar and micing amps. I tracked this basically using the information provided in the mixing and guitar forums, and this is the...

Hi all, I had posted some of this in my topic in the Mic forum, but I'm hoping that I may be able to get more help here as well, if some don't frequent in there. I just got back from a session on some modern rock for a play production. Mics I have to work with: 2 x MXL 990 2 x MXL 991 1 x...

I'm doing a project session tomorrow for some music that needs to be prerecorded for a show I am music directing. It involves some electric guitar which I have never actually miced before. I think I know how to try out placement, but I'm not sure what mics to try. I have 2 MXL 990s, large...

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas to reduce sympathetic vibrations from a piano in a small yet fairly well treated room. I was simply clapping in the room to get a sense of it, and the piano would sort of ring. My idea was to record some drum and vocal tracks in this room, and a...

Hi all, I'm in the market for some preamps to use with my Delta1010LT. What I'm really looking for are 4 clean phantom powered channels that I can use my new condenser mics with. I can live with the two XLRs built in to my card for dynamic mics. We have an old SoundTech mixer, but there's a...

Hi all, My band will be tracking our next album soon, but we may want to rework some songs from our 2002 album. It was recorded analog in a studio that has now gone Pro Tools, and whose rates have now increased quite a bit. I'm wondering how feasible it would be to get our reel digitzed. It...

Hey All, I'm in desperate need of some good patch cables for my mixer to my daw--I would be using the inserts of the mixer for this, so I'll need 1/4" male to RCA male. I've heard something in the past about either needing the 1/4" end to be stereo or plugged in halfway. I've tried both...

Hello all, I've bought my first set of condensers--the MXL 990/991 pack. I've been told that the 991 can sound good on cabs, but I'm a bit worried about throwing any condenser up against a amp or cab producing some serious bass. Is OK to just leave it as is, or should I put a pop filter in...

i went and visited Guitar Center the other day. Boy I was in for a suprise. I've been wanting a Hammond clone for a long time, and they had the Hammond XK-3, which is definitely one of the best. I was actually a bit suprised to find that the left set of drawbars controls the upper manual, and...

Hi all, I'm in need of a cheap sampler to get sounds off an existing board I may be selling soon, and to get samples of real instruments and so on. I don't need anything top of the line. 16 bit 44.1khz will suffice. Expandability would be nice, but I don't really want to spend much more than...

Hi there, I don't know if this is the best place to ask, but it seems close. If one is to track multiple things (guitars, vocals, drums) in a smallish room (maybe about 20' wide by 10', with maybe 8' removable tiled ceilings?), what are some recommended treatment options? Homemade solutions...

Hello there! I have a Delta 1010LT which can be used with an older SoundTech board for preamp usage (when the Delta 'pres' don't count). I also have access to a TASCAM US-122 USB interface, and I was wondering which setup may have better preamps? I don't know much about the preamps in either...

Hello there, A bit of an unusual question. ;) My community theatre may be having some shows outdoors at parks and possibly by the water. Since I've only dealt with indoor sound before, I was wondering if anyone here had any insight as to how to best mic actors outdoors who might not...

I'm looking at condensers at zZounds.com, and some are on sale. I can't tell what would be the best condenser to buy. I need to keep it under $100, but there are many mics to choose from, and reading the reviews, some people love them or hate them. Any suggestions? Here is the area I was...

This is One More Song by my band, Shryne. This is the second mix of a demo recording we did at a rehearsal last Thursday. The lead vocals were overdubbed later that day, as well as bass by our rhythm guitarist, I think, since our bassist wasn't there. I did my keys and backup vocals over...
