    Advice for using my Shure SM7b...

    I use Reaper and a Line 6 Toneport UX2 to record with. My vocals are on the quite to medium side of things volume wise. My vocal stuff is similar to Lifehouse material. The mic itself sounds great, but I have to turn the gain up almost all the way on my Toneport so that I can get a good...

    Need help adding an EQ to Reverb...

    What Im wanting to do is add a reverb giving the whole mix the same "room" sound. I just dont want the kick and other low end sounds to be effected. I tried this that you described, but for some reason, it cuts the low out of the whole mix, not just the reverb...

    Alternative to Audio Technica AT4040

    I like this mic for vocals and have used it on acoustic guitar some. I had to sell mine for financial reasons a while back and would like to get something similar again. Is there anything available that is similar but at a lower price? Thanks in advance!

    Bright budget condencer for vocal recording...

    I am working on a new recording project and need a new condencer for a brighter sound. I previously owned a Rode K2 which was a great mic for some people but was too warm and sounded muddy with my vocals. I then tried an Audio Technica At4040 which sounded much better and crisp for my vocals...

    Preamp for Shure SM7B...

    Alright I run the SM7B straight to the UX2 and run the USB to the comp and record using Reaper. As far as the modeling on the Gearbox softwear I just set it to no modeling and just run complely straight. If I turn the gain up too much it does get noisy. I have to run it low and then normalize...

    Preamp for Shure SM7B...

    I have a Shure SM7B that I am thinking about gettin a preamp for but I wanted some opinions. I have been using it with my Line 6 Toneport UX2 and it has been working okay. I don't have too much money to spend. Would it benefit drastically gettin a preamp or should I just stick to going...

    Micing cabs vs. Amp Simulators

    http://www.myspace.com/mercuryheatband here is a link to my band. "Should've Done" is using the amp sims. "Thing Called Love" is micing the cab. I am using a Mesa F-50 clean channel with a Fulltone OCD in front for the most part, which is my live setup and sounds great in reality but poor on...

    Micing cabs vs. Amp Simulators

    I know this has prolly been discussed several times but I wanted to share my take. I have recorded by micing and using amp simulators. Right now I just use the Line 6 amp sims. To my ears, there has not been much differences in the tone of these vs. micing, especially when time is considered...
