I am considering buying an NT-1 (the borrowed AT4033 I have is going away). All the catalogs I have just show the NT-1 on a "hard" stand mount. Does anybody know if they come with a spider mount or if one is available. Price? Source? Thanks

I have been using the sweepable mid on my Korg d16 to make some of the EQ cuts and boosts that the Sonusman suggested. This works great, but I can only manipulate one frequency. My question is - how do most people physically EQ for mixdown? Do they use a graphic equalizer to make cuts/boosts...

Sonusman: Thanks for the mixing advice. I used the sweepable mid on my Korg d16 today and made the 200 hz cuts on the bass parts of several songs previously recorded. I couldn't freaking believe how much clearer the bass parts are now! Before the cuts (about 6db) they sounded mushy, kind of...

Folks: I'm a little confused about cdr and why they don't play in some dvd/cd players. I want to be able to master and burn small quantities of cds that will play in any cd or cd/dvd player. Is that what "red book" means? The ads for the alesis masterlink says that it will burn cds that are...

I'm trying to get into computer recording on a budget. This Guillemot ISIS soundcard/breakout box with 8 in and 4 out seems like a good deal for $279. Don't know how it sounds. N-track would seem to be a logical partner to this low-cost solution. Anybody know if the two are compatable? I...

OK, there's a foot of snow on the ground and I'm bored. Just wondering what recording magazines people find helpful. I have found that Home Recording Magazine, while being kind of thin, has good articles. Electronic Musician seems to just review esoteric equipment that I will never use.

Hello N-track users: I am thinking about using my celeron 566 computer for audio tracks. If I install a second 7200rpm drive and bump the ram up to at least 128, will I get good results? I already have a Korg d16, so it won't be worth it to me unless I can get more than 16 tracks from the...

OK, Lets discuss some trivial yet perplexing topic. I often will buy old school snare kits (maybe 10 lug Ludwigs or old Olympics) at local pawn shops, lets say for $50 or so. Here's why: it seems that the older the snare head (I mean OLD, like from the eighties) the better the sound. I will...

After all the posts on the Rode NT3, I went to Mars Music to buy a pair for drum overheads. They looked at me like I wa crazy. Don't carry them. They had never heard of Rode. What the heck is this! Are these actually good mics or are they just talked up around this site.

I have been building my own drum pads for my alesis d4 unit for several years. I use the remo practice pads and piezos from Radioshack. These work pretty well and my design is excellent(I was a mechanical engineer in a past life) but I want to know if home-built technology has moved past this...

Wondering how many people record while listening to click tracks. As a drummer, this drives me crazy, but i usually monitor a high hat click while recording. Also I was wondering what instruments are recorded first. I used to do the drums first, to the click, while trying to remember the song...

I have been recording some local talent in my basement on my Korg D16 lately. My goal is to put out a "demo cd" showing off my efforts. Also, I want to put out the demo on 8 track - yeah you heard me - 8 track. As in 30 years ago. I have about 50 blank cartidges in original factory wrap that...

I am in uncharted waters. Several guys/gals that I play music with have been recording in my basement studio on my Korg d16. We all agree we would like to put a cd together and send it to one of these companies I see in the back of "Electronic Musician". You know, "100 cds packaged and...

I record on a Korg D16 stand-alone recorder, but I am interested in getting a good soundcard/breakout/software package to record on. Specifically, I like recording my drums (8 tracks simultaneously) to the Korg since I can put the unit next to me behind my drums and be my own "engineer". I...

I also posted this on the digital recording group, but I wanted to ask Cakewalk users directly. I use a Korg D16 to record, but I recently upgraded my computer and I want to play around just for fun with the old computer (don't want to use the new computer for audio). Anybody know if there is...

I record with a Korg D16 box. But, I recently upgraded my computer and was wondering what to do with the old one. I don't want to use the new computer for recording. However, just for the grins of it, I wanted to know what kind of software I could get to mess around with recording utilizing...

Disappointed that I got no feedback on my earlier post about synching two Korg D16's. I'm new to this site, so if I need to post the thread to a different category, please let me know. Meanwhile, just to get a little foot traffic into my thread, I think I'll entitle it "RadioShack 30-3017 mic...

Forgive a drummer ignorant of most things concerning keyboards. I needed a small keyboard to add simple parts to my recordings, so I bought a used Yamaha PSR 530. The problem is that, when hooked directly to my Korg D16 for recording, I get a lot of hiss. Is this simply the nature of...

I have been using my D16 for several months, and now that the OS is updated, the world is good. However, I need more tracks and the cost for a second D16 is looking pretty good now that prices have fallen ($1299 minus $100 rebate). The update manual gives a sketchy picture of how to synch two...
