    Do I need a mixer?

    Alright, I am begining to think that some of my issues may be solved by buying a mixer of some-sort. Even one of those dreaded Euroracks for $70. But I am still not entirely sure. What I am doing right now is I have my Monitors connect to outs 1&2 on my Delta-44, I have my little Philips...

    Sorry, really didn't know what kind of subject to put in the subject line for this kind of question. I am having a rather difficult time listening to my vocals while recording them. I lay down my Acoustic Guitar parts and then lay down the vocal track. Something just seems odd, when I am...

    Best "cheap" mic(s) for recording Acoustic Guitar?

    Just curious what you all would use.....looking to spend as little as possible. Probably a small-diaphragm condensor, and possibly two since I my mic pre is a stereo mic pre. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

    How does one create a drum track?

    I don't have drums. I know there are programs out there like Fruity Loops, Acid, Battery, etc....that allow one to use loops and what not to creat drum beats but all the sounds I have heard from at least Fruity Loops and Acid have been very "techno" and "electronica" sounding. I play acoustic...

    People who have been doing this a while....how do you learn?

    I know, I know PRACTICE, and I do, but sometimes I get so damn frustrated with what I come up with. I don't know, I guess that even if you practice a lot not knowing what you are doing in the first place or not really sure what you are looking for in the sound things can get rather tough. I go...

    Something wrong with these monitors?

    Bought some Behringer Truth B2031 a couple months ago from the local shop. They sound pretty decent for being from Behringer and my buddy who uses Mackies in his studio recommended them as well. At the time I thought I got a pretty decent deal $470 for the pair, when Mail Order companies were...

    If I do not have a mixer how do I hook up headphones?

    Say you have a Mic Preamp, a Delta Audiophile, headphones, and a pair of monitors. Would you have to physically change your RCA plugs everytime you want to switch from listening through headphones and vice-versa? Sorry, this is a terribly dumb question, but the last small home studio I had I...
