    Electrical wiring schemes to lower noise floor?

    the link didn't work. not heavy?--the it-1220 is 65 lbs. i wouldn't call that light. that's twice as heavy as my 1000 watt amp. the ar-1220 is 35lbs..... so that's 100lbs in just power "conditioning." ......well, if i ever get to build a new studio from scratch, it'll definately be grounded...

    Electrical wiring schemes to lower noise floor?

    how 'bout computers and stuff?--you keep them on the balanced lines?--or separate? how 'bout networking stuff like switches/routers? ......is everything running off the studio power?

    Just got my first condenser!

    you know.... i was thinking the same thing. .............it is quite possible it's actually my voice that's the problem. i'll have to do some more in-depth experiments later today..... (use different sources/voices)...... i'll let you guys know. (by the way, i meant "distorted" as in quoting...

    Electrical wiring schemes to lower noise floor?

    c7sus, that sounds like a good idea.... however, i'm not an electrician, and i haven't ever even looked at my breaker box! i don't want to do anything stupid.... so.... i'd have to do this as a last resort. last thing i want to do is fry something or get myself hurt. and it's an old house...

    Realistic opinion please.

    i understand what you mean..... and you probably are pretty accurate. how can i command the same respect for my music as say the classical composers? afterall, people go their concerts and just sit there!... i can't think i'm anything more boring than a classical concert. yet, people can sit...

    Electrical wiring schemes to lower noise floor?

    yeah... it's a house.... and all the lights here have dimmers. however, even with all the lights off i still have the same problems. could dimmers still cause problems even when the light itself is off?

    Just got my first condenser!

    yeah.... but the fader was at unity for all 3 mics. nothing was really turned too high up..... except for the trim pot when i was using the dynamics.... but that's the only way to get the volume high enough. and like i said, the 4033 "distorted" less than the other two dynamics, even though...

    Electrical wiring schemes to lower noise floor?

    hi. i dunno how the big studios deal with hum problems and other electrical related problems..... i heard of "star-grounding." can anyone explain? currently, i have a furman ar-1220 voltage regulator going into the wall. then a furman it-1220 balancing transformer going into the voltage...

    Just got my first condenser!

    hmm.... well, i don't think i was clipping...... in fact, i'm pretty sure i wasn't. on the meter bridge, the lights never exceeded "0"... still had quite a bit of headroom. and the meter readings on the recordings had plenty of headroom too. using a MOTU 896 interface. all good stuff...

    17 year old songwriter/producer wannabe!

    hey there. (listened to sleepwalker) first, i would like to say that i like your voice..... however you're gonna need to practice quite a bit--a lot of times you don't hit the right notes... or at least are off pitch quite a bit. and i think you can put a little more force into your singing...

    Just got my first condenser!

    hi. welp, my Audio Technica AT4033/SE just arrived today in the mail.... happy day! sounded like a good deal--$250 for a brand new, never used, all original boxed SE... so i couldn't help myself. so, i booted up Nuendo... and started three tracks... one for the AT4033, one for my Shure SM-57...

    Realistic opinion please.

    yeah... thanks man. i'll definitely look into it later. but i haven't given up hope here yet! ;) ...after all, this is my home recording, which is what this board is all about. i listened to much of the stuff on this mp3 mixing section, and i loved hearing all the different types of music...

    Realistic opinion please.

    hmm.... i see someone put a rating of 1/5 stars for this thread. i can see how popular i am here.... anyway.... one thing for sure, as i can see from the opinions so far, my music won't be "pop" ever. .....any vangelis or new age listener or even a classical listener out there care to give...

    Realistic opinion please.

    thanks a1a2, wisc.... alanfc thinks i'm wasting time debating my music with you guys, and apprently he represents the majority..... so i'm gonna resist the temptation and keep my mouth shut this time. (but i really do want to debate/discuss........ there's plenty for me to say about every...

    Realistic opinion please.

    ?--i'm not sure what you mean. but if you meant something akin to brutality.... well, like i said, i didn't mean it that way. i just like to find out more about this "truth." you see, it doesn't really do me much good if guitar players keep saying that they don't like this sort of music and...

    Realistic opinion please.

    i am not upset at all. i'm sorry if that's the impression all of you got................well, except about that comment i thought was prejudiced. .....i like to argue--not really, argue, but to discuss. if someone posts a comment, i like to get in-depth and ask all the why's and answer all...
