Hello, I'm brainstorming cheap ways to deal with my PC being really loud in my tracking/mixing room. The room is the finished half of my basement in my rented townhouse. The room is fairly dead since I've Auralex'd it this past summer. The only noise I can hear is my PC fan. Here's my idea -...

In a moment of weakness this morning, I purchased a pair of ECM8000s from Zzounds. They just got shipped and should be here either Monday or Tuesday. I'm looking forward to using them on acoustic guitars. I already have a Soundelux U97, Neumann KM184, AT4033, Shure SM58, and a Great River MP2...

Silly question - I was playing with the Tone Generator in Cool Edit, and decided to see what my Monitors (Tannoy Active Reveals) could handle. I generated a 20Hz sine wav, and played it back (via my Delta 44). Now I didn't hear much, but my woofers were shaking in fear! Is this bad for my...

I just picked up the Native Power Pack V3 and have N-Track Version 3.2 (the latest), I had no problems authorizing Waves, but whenever I have a plug-in on a TRACK, I have problems with that song file - Whenever I open the *.sng file, I get "Unable to read plug-in" type error, and then when I try...

So I downloaded the Waves 3.0 demo and I've been playing with them in N-Track (10 days left!), let me just say I love the Renaissance stuff!!!! I was using the Blue Line and I though the Parametric EQ was ok, but the REQ is about a million times better and much more musical sounding. Ditto for...

Hello, Just thought I'd post an mp3 (It's been awhile) of a John Gorka song I covered. Vocals were done through a Soundelux U97 (Cardiod mode) into my Great River MP2 preamp. From there it went into an RNC Compressor (Super Nice Mode) to tame the levels before hitting my Delta 44 A/D...

Just wanted to chime in with a recommendation on a great budget mic. Let me preface this by saying that this mic has just been discontinued and I might have gotten one of the last remaining ones, but if you come across a used one or if a dealer has a few sitting around, I recommend jumping on...

Hello all, Well I made the leap from analog (style) recording to full-blown PC recording. Was using a Yamaha MD4S for my acoustic stuff. I just purchased a Delta 44 (I hope I don't need SP/DIF later on!). Played around a bit over the weekend. I use N-Track and I love it, it remembers your...

Just a quick little note about something I noticed with the Win98 CD player. As some of you people probably know, you can add the title artist name as well as names of individual tracks so they show up in the application's window. Then whenever you put that CD in, the player "remembers" all the...

Hello, I have a few RA files of my new folk music CD online. The downloads are encoded at 80kbs (not the best quality but can post higher quality if anyone's interested) site: http://home.earthlink.net/~egordon99/seasons.html Tech stuff: recorder: Yamaha MD4S (multitrack minidisc) except 1st...

Hello, I had the same problem when I moved from an SM-58 to an AT-4033 for vocals. It picked up too much acoustic guitar! I put it through an Aphex 107 pre direct into an MD4S. I use 1 of 2 solutions. First - record the guitar first. This is preferred sonically because I can then use the...

Hello, About 5 years ago (yikes!) I purchased a TOA K2 small condenser cardiod mic. It was on sale at Sam Ash for about $80.00 with a list of ~$300. Since I play mainly acoustic guitar, I thought this would be a good deal. I currently use it with an Aphex 107 pre into a Yamaha MD4S. The sound is...

Hello, I've been lurking for about a month and finally decided to ask a question(s) I record folk music, mainly acoustic guitar and voice, sometimes a banjo or piano part. I am currently trying to put together a nice sounding 'demo' to showcase my songwriting. My recording set-up: AT-4033 for...
