    Pentium 4?

    Anyone try n-Track with a Pentium 4 yet? I'm buying a 2nd PC and will be recording on the new one. I did a somewhat dumb thing and already submitted the order to Dell. However, the order confirmation says you can request instructions for changing your order, so I made the request. Anyway, I...

    Recommended books for recording on PC?

    I've been recording on a Tascam 414 (4-track cassette) for about a year. I finally bought a PC and N-Track and am now learning to record on the PC. Besides checking this forum I'm also looking for a book or two. I did a search on "book" in this forum and didn't see anything other than a...

    Hartke Basses?

    I'm looking for a bass just to use for recording at home, and I'd like one that's an easy transition for a guitar player. My budget is around $400 but I might be able to go up to about $500. I've been to two stores so far and right now I'm leaning toward the ESP LTD B-204, but I still want to...

    Have trouble hearing a song as a whole?

    As I've been recording over the last six months I feel like I've gotten better at paying attention to individual tracks, hearing what I like and don't like, coming up with ideas to fix things I don't like, figuring out if they worked, etc. But now it's sometimes hard to just take in a whole...

    Recording bass through guitar POD?

    I thought I remember people talking about this recently but since the search isn't available right now ... :o I'm starting to look for a bass for recording and will also have access to a guitar-version POD soon. Has anyone had success recording bass through a POD? I'll eventually buy...

    Choosing (and using) parametric vs. graphic EQ

    I did some searching and found a few postings that kind of danced around this topic, so I thought I'd ask directly. My apologies for the long posting. My equipment consists of : a Tascam 414 cassette 4-track (which probably limits me more than anything right now); Tube MP and Dual MP mic...

    Audio Technica AT3528?

    I'm looking for a lower priced, small diaphragm condenser mic and had basically decided on an AKG C1000, mostly based on comments I've seen here. I recently bought an AT 4033 and found I like the low end rolloff switch, which the AKG doesn't have. Does anyone have any experience with the AT...

    Getting started recording on PC

    I'd like to transition my recording from 4-track to a PC. Rather than ask for answers, I thought it would be better to ask if anyone can point me to resources that would help get me started. Otherwise you'd probably have to answer me with loads of additional questions. For example, I need to...

    Using ART Tube MP as a direct box

    I just bought an ART Tube MP to use with a new mic and now I'm thinking about an inexpensive bass as my next purchase. Has anyone tried using the Tube MP as a direct box for recording bass? I know they advertise it that way but I was wondering what kind of results people have gotten. And how...

    Recording acoustic guitar

    I'm interested in getting better results when I record my acoustic. So far I've tried my SM57 and SM58 at both the sound hole and the 12th fret and still can't get anything close t the real sound of the guitar - it always sounds muddy. I assume I'd get best results with a good condenser mic...

    Mic Preamp vs. Mixer

    I've been using a simple 4-track setup (Tascam 414, SM58, 2 SM57's , guitar multi-effects pedal that I even for vocs and other intruments) for about a year and would like ot make better sounding recordings. After looking at various web sites I thought my next step would be a mic preamp and was...
