So I'm in dire need of getting a good vocal mic. I have two Rode NT1a's and an M-audio Nova that I feel comfortable using on pretty much every application except vocals. They're quite a bit too harsh for vocals and make them stand out of the mix a bit too much. So I'm looking at a few mics in...

i'm having problems posting a new thread in the microphone forum, so this is a test.

So I'm looking at upgrading my interface and I need some help. I'm debating between a Focusrite Saffire Pro, which will have 8 preamps to hold me over until I can afford to buy dedicated ones, and a MOTU 828mkiii which will force me to go into massive debt to buy other pres. I eventually plan on...

I'm currently running M-Audio BX5a monitors with a computer (altec-lansing) sub hooked up as well. It works pretty well. I generally don't need the sub on, but I adds an extra low end as well as that pressure you can feel from a sub. Anyways, I found some Event 20/20s on craigslist for pretty...

Hey guys! I managed to get a killer deal on a handmade guitar on craigslist. Someone was going on tour and was strapped for cash so he sold me one of his guitars for only 100 bucks! It's an Ibanez RG neck, custom body (he said the thick of it is mahogany, and the surface was something else I...

So we all know apogee makes killer converters, and we all know they cost a fortune. I wanted to start a thread that may help resolve my issue, but also create a discussion on converters that budget converters that are better than stuff that comes with most budget interfaces (I'm talking all in...

So I need some advice. I have a few things on my rack I'm not really using, but I can't bring myself to get rid of them. I have a 5 channel noise gate (by peavey) and two 2-channel EQs (one peavey, one MXR). Now the noise gate I will hold on to, because I only can't use it because my pre-amps...

Is this thing any good? I stumbled upon one for 10 dollars so I picked it up, but is it really worth anything or would it actually be a better quality pre-amp than the XMAXs in my Presonus Firepod?

I'm planning on getting a new guitar and I was wondering if it would be a waste of money to get a MIM strat and put new pickups in it. I can't really afford an American strat, but I thought if I bought a Mexican strat and put new pickups in it, I could get pretty close. Is this true? I heard the...

I'm in the market for some new overheads for my drums. I've come to the conclusion that I like the sound of LDCs over SDCs, and given that my current pair is SDC, it makes sense to get a pair of LDCs. Of course, I'd like to be able to spend 1g each on some C414s, but I'm looking for something...

I just ROFFLED when I saw there was an N-Track Forum and then roffled again when I clicked on it and there were no posts within the past 30 days! I used to use n-track, has it gotten any better?

I have a problem with this bass I tracked. I have two channels, one's direct in and one's room mic'd, but both of them seem to be lacking any real volume on the higher notes. When the bassist hits the lower notes, it pounds through my sub (even when I turn my sub off, it's audible through just...

I'm currently micing my snare with an Audix i5 through my Presonus Firepod. No matter what I do and what snare I use, I can't seem to get anything but a real nice pop out of my snare. I have no low end or snare to work with. Listen to this clip of a song I recorded here. The snare doesn't...
