What do you do when a musician insists his tone sounds just the way he likes it (the recorded version of it) but it sounds like ass to you? I can't get what I would consider a good sounding track of this guys guitar tone, but he insists it sounds perfect,and is pleased as pie. This is just for...

I have a chance to pick up a PAiA rackmounted pre amp from a bass player that I know. It was hand built by a guy who does Amp mods and repairs here in my town, so I am not worried about the quality of the assembly. Anyone ever heard how one of these sound? This guy used it for a D.I, and that's...

Vocals? Eletc. Guitar? Bass? kick? snare? cymbals? toms? I know compression can be done after, but which of these benefit the most from compression DURING tracking. Thanks Amra

A post that SonicAlbert made on this thread regarding the TubePre: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=152940 made me think that this topic might be worth a whole post. I've read the pretty scathing reviews on the TubePre here for a few months. I picked one up for what amounted to...

I thought I would share this. This really helped me get a good grasp of the basics of using compression. http://www.drawmer.com/help4.html

I am looking to get a DI, primarily for recording bass guitar and I would like to be able to capture a direct signal as well as mic the bass cab. So I need a DI that has one 1/4" input and then a 1/4" output (to go to the amp) as well as a XLR (to go to the board). Is there a DI that is set up...

Hercules 1612 or Echo AudioFire12 Anyone have any firsthand (ok,even secondhand will work) info on these products? Thanks Amra

I have been reading about and researching a lot of different audio interfaces. It seems that one of the primary things that is improved on higher end products is the word clock and/or the digital convesion quality. Not the sampling rate, but the actual quality of the converted audio. So here is...

Would either an M-Audio DMP3 or Studio Projects VTB1 pre-amp be an upgrade over a mid-90's Soundtech ST-1602 Mixer's pres? Amra

I've got $250 dollars to put towards my home studio. Where should I put it? I am just a 'student' for lack of a better word, of the recording/mixing arts. What I am slowly working towards, is being able to record demos in that are good enough so that the recording quality is better than...

I am new to recording, and I wonder if anyone has any good diagrams of the mixing 'soundfield' - where stuff should be panned, lie at in the mix, etc. I have a background in graphic design, and if there is not a good one out there, I would like to see if someone who has a really good grasp of...

Once i have the tracks recorded and in my pc (recording at 96khz, 24 bit), should I already have done any outboard type effect processing that I am going to do? Should I stick to software plugins only for more compression if needed, delay, flange, etc? Or send the signal out to outboard...

It is cool that you are are all hooking up with some online recording. I am kinda new to the recording stuff, but I can throw down a pretty heavy rythm on guitar. Anyone want to try something along these lines? I don't have any complete songs online, but i have some short riffs here...

It seems like a lot of rock CDs have the guitar on one side and just the delay or echo from that guitar on the other. What are some of the more common procedures that can be used to accomplish this? Thanks, Amra

I am a complete noob when it comes to practical recording. I have been researching the art for months, and am just now beginning to feel that I know enough to make a try at recording. I have researched, and think I have a basic understanding of levels/meters and clipping: The theoretical target...
