When I came back to the recording arts recently, I was t hrilled to see all of the new techonolgy. Of course, it would take an investment of time to learn but most things worthwhile do. In furtherance, I picked up some of the magazines such as EQ, MIX, RECORDING (or something like that) etc. and...

My best ideas come tom ewhen I am walking alone. For some reason, the act of walking helps me create a sense of rhythm. So, how 'bout you. Where does the muse hit you?

this is a question for which the time has come. I have N EMU E6400 Ultra which has served me quite well for the most part. However, nowadays, there are some truly wonderful orchestral offerings in sample libraries. Most of them, though, seem to be geared towards Gigastudio, the defacto standard...

I have a mac computer which cannot run Gigastudio. I would like to use this program since so many sample collections are in that format. I have a spare PC that is probably about 500 mhz and I am not sure of the RAM but that can be upgraded if necessary. What do I need to make the program run...

I have been trying to find a great sample set for my MP and I keep getting half assed crap of one sort or another. I still feel rather strongly that the original sounds that came with the unit are some of the best I have, particularly cymbals. So, can ANYONE reccomend a sample set for the MP...

I am not sure of the best way to work the reverb situation I have. I have a Mackie 24/8 mixer and a Lexicon PCM 81. Aux send one to channel one of the Lexicon and aux two to channel two. The returns are to the Aux returns. Though the foregoing seems like a logical setup and works quite well...

I don't know, I'm asking you? Everyon here knows everything anyway so why would you now look here expecting an answer as opposed to the usual disertation on why the choice of light bulb is not correct, whether it should be a tube or solid state light bulb, digital or analogue light bulb...

A good for instance is this SweetNubs guy. I apologize for another post addressing this but this is something that truly sticks in my craw. Man, what a jerk. Even if there were the slighest bit of truth in, as was pointed out over and over, his gross generalities, it is always eaiser to be...

for now I am using a MOTU 2408 mkII. i run it in conjunction with a 24 track analogue board. I have wanted 24 real tracks for quite some time and considered exapnsion units. It now appears that MOTU has answered my needs nicely. since I am not usin an DATS or dedicated hard disc recorders, the...

Actually, I know what it is, my main question is really, how does it work with other programs. Particularly, what is Rewire and is this necessary. Alson, what is Recycle and is this also necessary. After all that is determined, how will it all work with my main program which is Digital...

I have seen discussions about pres set sounds for sale verse programming the synth yourself etc. I am sure amny people use factory pre sets aand/or twaek them a bit. So it erks (is that a word?) me when people say they heard a pre set factory sound on a recording and because of that...

Vocal mics seem to be one of the most ubiquitous pieces of gear made. The choices are numerous. So, when you can only get one mic and you want it to be a good one, what do you do? I have just about settled on the Neuman TL103. It seems like you could hardly go wrong with this choice. But still...

Last night I saw a live Salsa band playing in a club. They had five horn players, three trumpets and two tenor saxaphones. the mics for the trumpets for 57s but here is the strange thing, they seened to have a sort of round, clear plastic collar device apparently to prevent either feedback of...

For now, I store everything on a 40 gig glyph hard drive, that is all music productions. All programs on the hard drive in he Mac. I belive I could use more storage but there seem to be so many choices I just don't know. It is a confusing collection of dvices to sort out. Could anyone suggest...

I have been considering puchasing a good microphone becuase that is a waek link in my system. I do not record live instruments here except an occasional guitar, possibly a horn here or there but that is about is. For the most part, it is for vocals. I aleady have an SM57 and a Rode NT1. What I...

What are the benefits vs. burdens (drawbacks) of a figure 8 pattern mic. When are they used and for what purpose?

It appears that the era of software samplers is well upon us. I wish to join in the fun. Gigastudio, formerly Gigasampler is unavailable without the purchase of a seperate PC becuase I a running a Mac G4 with Digital Perfomer.Even if they do make a Mac version, becuase DP is Native, it would...

the threshold control has 0 to -20 to the right and 0 to +20 to the left. What does this mean? Which way rasies the threshold and which way lowers the threshold and what does raising and lowering the threshold actually mean? I am familiar with compression and know how to use the device however...

Recently came across n article comparing Brauner mic with this Lawson mic. The article admitted that it was an unfair comparison for the most part however there were points of similarity and the Lawson was said to have some of the more appealing characteristics of the Braunder. Main point was...
