I've got a Digi 001, a 24 channel tascam board (I'm only using 8 direct outs right now), some preamps and a couple compressors. Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to run this through a normalled 48 point patchbay? Should I go into the digi 001 first and then back out into compressors...

I have a relatively new home/project studio. I currently own a Tascam 788 standalone recorder. It's been great and has really gotten me interested in recording. I'm now working with some outboard preamps, compressors, and have recently gotten a Tascam m-3500 24 channel board to go along with...

Hey guys, I am going to build a recording desk/rack to complement the built in desk/bookshelf that is already at my house. I've been inspired checking out the custom built consoles some of ya'll have done, so now I need some help. Below I am posting the links to the basic plans. Please check...

Is it possible to use this mixer to send 8 channels out to my 8 track recorder? Any advice or comments about this mixer? Thanks, Jeremy

I have a question about the Digi 001. I am about to get a Soundcraft e12 mixer. Right now I have a couple of preamps and record into a tascam 788 recorder and I also have an m-audio audiophile soundcard and an athlon xp 2100 w/ 120 gigs. Would it be easier for me to get the Digi001 used w/the...

I am planning on building a portable drum cage that can also be used sort of as a live room. I've already got a really good "dead" vocal closet that sounds great. I need to building something that will allow me to record drums, percussion, some acoustic guitar, group vocals, and similar in my...

Does anyone know of a good free program that will let me draw up some basic plans for my studio? I really just need to do some plans of bass traps and basic floor layout, etc. Thanks, Jeremy

I've been debating about getting the marshall v67g or the Studio Projects B1 for about a week. Well, I randomnly happened to stop at a Pawn shop Friday. It was full of over-priced cheap stuff, no decent sound equipment. As I am leaving, I look over in the corner of a shelf, and there is an...

I've got an SP C1 right now for main vocals, also a c1000s and an mxl 603s, and I am looking for another LD condensor to complement my C1. I've seen SP B1's and oktava mk319's on ebay for under 100. I know about the quality issues with oktava, also. I need something in this price range to...

I've got n-tracks on an athlon xp2100, 512 megs of pc2100 ram, 120 gig hard drive,windows 98, and an m-audio 24/96 sound card. When I apply effects to tracks, they play back with a lot of lag. It sounds horrible. I just spent 70 dollars on this program and now I am wishing I hadn't. Is...

I've got an alesis ra100 amp and some mkII monitors, and an lcd flat screen for my computer. When I crank the amp up it gets a really bad hum only when the lcd is on. I've got them in different sockets but probably the same circuit. There really isn't a convenient way to run an extension cord...

I've got a new boom stand (tripod) that has a pretty good know on it and stuff but the dang C1 I have keeps slowly but surely moving the tripod down or just straight falling over. What do I need to do/get? Thanks, Jeremy

I just recorded midi from my keyboard to the computer with an m-audio 24/96 card. I can see the data on the screen, but how do I play sound back? I only have one cord going from keyboard into soundcard, I don't have one going back into the keyboard. Also, are there any plugins or whatever...

Ok, I know nothing about MIDI so here goes..... We've go access to a cheap keyboard with MIDI capability. I want to put down maybe some strings parts or something like that over some guitars and vocals. I've got N-tracks and Fruity Loops. How do I do this? Thanks a lot, Jeremy

Hey guys I own a small home studio setup: Tascam 788, computer, maudio dmp3, a few condensor mics, preamps, and compressors, studio monitors,etc. I have a 5x5 closet completely acoustically treated so now it's a vocal booth. I've done recording for friends, etc., but now I'm going to have a...

Which one of these should I get for micing acoustic. I am interested in the best all around one for my home studio (preamp to tascam 788 to computer). Voice your opinions! Jeremy

Hey I just went by an acoustical treatments place and got some Knauf!! Only thing is I got "kb85" which is 6.25" of fiberglass acoustical insulation that is not rigid. Can I still make some traps with that stuff? They said sound studio guys come get it all the time. I've got 3" wedge foam that...

I need a decent soundcard for my new computer. I mainly need one with good quiet outputs to send to my reference amp and monitors when mixing on the computer. I also wouldn't mind having one or two inputs to record on occassionaly...I have an m-audio dmp3 preamp and usually record on a stand...

I have the chance to buy a used Emu APS sound card. Does anyone know anything about its quality or sound? I just have a regular sound card in right now and it is starting to go bad. The main thing I need out of the sound card is clean outs to monitor with. Thanks, Jeremy

I need some advice on recording percussion. The percussionist has a Remo djembe, also cymbals, noise makers, shakers, tambourine, etc. etc. He also might bring some congas, but I'm not sure about that. Right now I have a Studio projects C1, sm57, 58, beta 58, and he has some CAD mics he...
