I've got a Behringer UB1002 mixer. I was wondering if I should avoid putting the gain all the way up at any single gain stage. I understand it's not such a good idea to have the mic preamps too high, but what about all the other gain stages: each channel level control, the main mix fader and the...

I don't know the first thing about voice technique, and I'm doing it wrong. I can't do long speeches without straining myself. My everyday voice is much shallower than my 'recording' voice; I bet I'm my 'recording' voice technique is damagingly bad. I've been practicing and recording by myself...

Enhancing recording quality Sure, it's easy to record a signal at 24-bit/192kHz when you got the proper ADCs. But what if all you've got are noisy 16-bit/48kHz ADCs ? I believe that the multiple gain level recording technique I described may well enhance quality. It may, however, be such a...

To restrict the range, I must first expand it Thanks for the reply. I think that I didn't explain my approach properly. My ultimate goal is indeed to restrict the dynamic range of my recording, so that it stays at similar levels. This is what an analog compressor does, without significant loss...

I'm new to recording, and I notice that without an analog compressor, the dynamic range of digital recordings is greatly restricted. I also do photography, and we have a similar problem with digital cameras; properly expose the picture (gain ajustment) and you lose dynamic range in the light...

Oh my. I've got the wrong forum, haven't I ? Should've posted in Newbies, but I've just now noticed it exists. Anyhow, hope you still can help me. Thanks.

Today, I have purchased basic recording equipment: a cheap Behringer mixer and a Studio Projects B1 mic. With the mixer at the center of it all, I wired up the mic, along with headphones, a home theater receiver, stereo speakers and two synth keyboards. And tonight, I used a condenser mic for...

Behringer vs Yamaha I think I'm going to buy a Studio Projects B1 mic, after reading about it on the forum. But I've got to choose a mixer now. I'm hesitating between the cheaper Behringer UB802 and the Yamaha MG10/2. I know that a lot of people have an undying hate for Behringer, and would...

I want to record narration, and my budget of 170$USD is quite limited. I also want to experiment with the recording of various other sounds such as singing and instruments, but the spoken word of males is my main concern. I won't spend over 200$CDN, even if I know that I could depend on quality...
