I ran across these AUVIO speakers at Radio Shack that they market as bookshelf speakers but they look like studio monitors! Has anyone seen, heard or experienced these things? Just curious because of the 49.99 price point and the fact that I would just need an amp for them. THANKS!

Its pretty amazing that my main rig has been an HP desktop with a Pentium 3 500mhz with only 384mb of ram. Its completely maxed out too, Ive made all possible hardware upgrades in the course of having it. I also record on a Zoom MRS802 digital studio that I will bounce to and from in combination...

I would start out using my Lexicon Omega interface pumped through my Cubase LE more than likely, but I would definitely save up and get my hands on a Digidesign 003 Factory and make the switch to ProTools. Right now Im using Sonar through an analog sound board into my Pentium 3 HP with 384mb RAM lol

I was in my local Apple store and saw the new mac mini starting at $699 and wondered if that would be a terrible idea to use as my home DAW. I could invest in a protools rack that would feed into the mini via firewire, right? I would be doing simple sessions, maybe 8 simultaneous tracks at a...

Could I run that ground through a small hole and solder it to some of that shielding foil folded over with the other side contacting the underside of the bridge?

Thanks! I'm not sure how to ground to the bridge since I didn't go with a trem bridge. Its a solid guitar aside from the "electronic cavity" for the one volume and the bridge is a fixed, top-loading bridge. The bridge will be screwed right down to the face of the guitar and strings enter from...

I just finished building a strat-style guitar that will have one humbucker pickup (passive), one volume knob, and the output jack. How would I properly wire and ground this setup? The pickup is a Seymour Duncan JB for the bridge. Thanks!

Has anyone here ever successfully layered midi trigger output with live drum tracks with positive results? I'm thinking of recording both midi trigger data along with the live audio to blend together for a super mega ultra awesome drum sound... Bad idea?

Scratch that idea.. FML. I didn't have the money and won't have the money until tomorrow but they're gone... All sold out at all the stores in Phoenix. It's even the store I work at and they wouldn't hold it for me yesterday. I'm pissed.. Oh well I guess I will just look into the Alesis Trigger...

Sweet. Thanks guys! I just might use my Ion iDM02 Module with trigger's on my drummer's acoustic kick, snare, and toms and set up some stereo overheads to catch the cymbals. Midi out from the module to EZ Drummer and mix the overheads in with the midi. Has anyone here recorded like this with...

I'm curious if I can map from the midi-out on my electronic drums into EZDrummer to access more samples... Has anyone successfully done this around these parts? Thanks!

The Ion IED01 Digital Drum Kit just went on clearance in my local Super Target for $57 and I'm interested in purchasing it just to use the included iDM02 module. I know that the hardware, pedals, and pads are crap so I'm planning on building some home-modded pads to use with the module if it's...

I can hear when a pitch is flat or sharp. That's not the issue. I'm a trained vocalist and I don't have much time at home to record because of family noise and a tight schedule in which to lay tracks down. So when I have time to record I don't really have the time to retake over and over. And...

Oh great.. Mr. Tim OBrien is asking our newb to join the Loudness War. Leave the peaks, son, but don't let it clip!!!

I've never heard of a transient designer I'll have to check that out. I had the habit in my early recording experience to boost low frequencies in the live mix while recording the kick drum and relying on that sound for the sound of the kick when in reality I should have just been letting the...

When I'm working alone (and not with my drummer friend) I will program my beats in FL Studio (fruity loops) using drum samples I've collected from various songs recorded by artists on the charts. Occasionally i'll hear a song where everything is cut out and a drummer hits just a kick, snare, or...

I'm curious to know some good RMS values that you have found in mixing vocals to drums to bass to guitar that you tend to follow as your mixing outline.. Lets say for example (in terms of RMS): Snare Drum "X" db louder than Kick Drum Lead Vocals "X" db louder than snare Guitars "X" db quieter...

lol what I meant to ask was if anyone had successfully done this.. I'm at school right now and don't have access to my recordings and/or software... Has anyone been able to successfully bring out a lost kick drum using multi-band compression?

I was curious if I played around with my multi-band compressor if I could clean up some old drum tracks from my early days of recording. I used to just run the mics through a sound board, get a good headphone mix and then record it down to 2 tracks (left + right, stereo track). I was unable to...

Of course he'd have more punch and better sound if he were to just turn the playback device up a bit while listening (if he's done mastering and ends up with a larger crest like the old days) but we ARE competing with the new industry standard of crunching the peaks by 6db and getting the RMS to...
