    Is it a floor wax or a dessert topping or both? Mic Pre/DI question.

    A good defined bass sound is a priority of mine and I've been hearing a lot of good things about the Demeter tube DI box. I'm also in the market for a good mic pre for vocals, maybe acoustic guitar. Should I spring for the Demeter and a grand-per-channel pre (suggestions on that please) or is...

    Wanted: Routing Ideas

    I just got a 32 channel analog Mackie 8-Bus to replace my 2 small Mackie vlz's. What I want to do is route 16-20 mics into the first 16-20 channels and go out the direct outs into my sound cards (2 Delta 1010's) . Then I want to go out of the sound card's output back into the board, so that I...

    Mackie 24/8-bus vs Mackie SR24/4

    Looking to upgrade from a pair of small Mackie VLZ's (a 1402 and a 1202). I'm using them right now for their pres and a bit of routing to headphones and studio monitors. Is the SR 24/4 a good upgrade here, or is it too much a live board? Are the pres the same on the SR as the 8-Bus? I'm also...

    Two Delta 1010's in one PC....

    What do I need to do? One is currently loaded and working fine. I want to add the second one. Do I need to reload drivers, or will my multitrack software (Sonar) and WinXP see the second card? Will the Delta mixer pick it up? Do I need a BNC cable for word clock? Is there a way to synch via...

    Here's my second stab...

    After getting some feedback and realizing that a freestanding structure might be a better answer than finishing a garage that may not be up to rennovations, this is what I come with on the first pass. What I'd like to do is have a garage built where I could put storage upstairs and a studio...

    Here's my first stab...

    Here's my plan for moving my studio from my attic to my garage. Basically, I took a few ideas from the SAE link but I don't know a lot about acoustic treatments, recommended ceiling heights, room sizes, etc. Comments on the layout are welcome. Once I get a footprint, I can work out the other...

    I'll Have a Tom Collins, please....

    I mean, I want to get the toms to sound like Phil Collins'. Is gated reverb the solution? I've been playing with FX on toms lately. I've been using gates, reverb (not gated reverb, tho), EQ, (Cutting mids and boosing 1-2k, as well as 100hz). Also a touch of multiband compression, but I don't...

    Delta 1010 dilemma

    A few months ago I had a vicious computer crash that required repairing the registry. A real pain and not a real quick fix. My system was down and I was forced to go out and purchase a backup system. I eventually got the original one back up and running, but the thought occurred to me that this...

    WTB: Delta 1010 - PCI Card ONLY

    It's a strange request I know, but I have 2 PC's and I'd like to put the PCI card in my backup system. That way if I have a crash I can just swap the 1010 parallel cable and my firewire drive and keep going. To my knowledge Midiman will not sell these separately.

    I'm hoping to get this on the Compilation CD...

    A little hard rock thing I just finished called "Enronic." It's about the Enron and Worldcom scandals. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1400&alid=-1

    I want to have all my projects in their own folder...

    I've upgraded to Sonar 2 where per project folders are an option, but I have 12 gig worth of stuff from the past 18 months in one big folder. I'm considering several options for this but if anyone's done this, let's hear it.

    Computer Nerds: Help a guy out....

    I am hosed right now with my DAW. I can't get it to boot up at all. As it gets ready to start Windows, I get an evil message(it's a wonder Bill hasn't been hunted down and used as a human shield - but I digress). It says, and I've never seen this one before: stop: c0000218 registry file...

    Antbody using a Yamaha 01v as a control surface?

    If so, what can it do with Sonar?

    Anybody Got a Mackie Control?

    I'm thinking of getting one now that I've upgraded to Sonar 2. Suposedly, there's a plugin and you're up and running. However, given what you get for a grand (and this really has "obsolete in three years" written all over it), I'm thinking there are better, cheaper options.

    What if you were me - Mic Pres

    Here's the deal, I've been doing a lot of recording lately, pushing my delta-1010 and recording 8-10 tracks at a time. It's usually six to seven drum tracks, a miked guitar cab or two and direct bass via my JStation spdif. Everything with a microphone on the end of it is going into the pres on...

    X-Mas Jazz

    Not playing on this one, just engineering. My friend's jazz arrangement for "Angels We Have Heard on High." Pretty much live with a couple of punches. My first real attempt at live session recording with isolation. Headphones, drums in one room, guitar amp in another room, everyone playing at...

    Micing Acoustic Piano

    I recorded a tune a while back. Kind of country with acoustic piano as the feature instrument. I added acoustic guitar, electric guitar and bass. I'm planning to redo the guitars as I have better gear and I'm not happy with my performance. We did the piano via a midi controller into Cakewalk and...

    Once again - I hope Yoko doesn't sue me...

    I posted this a couple of months back. Redid a few parts and bought a set of monitors. I think I have a few of the bugs worked out. Fire away... http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1400&alid=-1 "Son of God Song" Once again, it's not a religious song.
