very newbie question: I have an at4033, where does the cardioid response originate from. meaning, what direction from the mic. for example, with sm57, it is the direction the mic is pointed. because the 4033 is side-adress, does that mean the response is on the side of the mic. the side with the...

so my plan is to use the inserts on my behringer xenyx 2442fx to run to my otari mx5050 mkIII and back to the mixer for monitoring and eventually bumping to my computer for mixing. i found cables at hosa: stereo 1/4 to 1 female xlr and 1 male xlr. Do i need to rewire the cables, because the...

i just moved into a studio with an otari mx5050 mkIII. right now its in the shop getting a new pinch wheel and maybe calibrated. do i need noise reduction? does it have to be outboard? (i have the Waves diamond bundle) What is my best (cost is very much a factor, unfortunately) option? thanks...

thanks guys, your help is appreciated

Here is the set-up right now. Audio Technica 4033 as overhead, a little bit to the oposite side of the snare because it pics up lots of snare. sm-57 on the snare, above and slanted towards the head, about an inch away. akg c-900 (it's a stage vocal condenser) on the hi hat above top symbol...

im using the audio technica 4033 as an overhead for my drums. i've found that the further away the mic is, the more airy it sounds. so i was wondering how close to the up-toms i can safely put the mic. here are the specs: MAXIMUM INPUT SOUND LEVEL 145 dB SPL, 1 kHz at 1% T.H.D.; 155 dB SPL...

i am trying to set up a studio and monitors are not in the budget right now. what about using my home-audio amp and home-audio (cerwin vega, bookshelf) speakers? let me know what you think, and if this is simply not goining to work, suggestions for cheap powered monitors would help. thanks, ben

change of plans we decided to just make one of the iso-booths into a control room. it has no window, but it'll do for now. still; any gobo-makin' instructions would be helpful. thanks, ben

i use a tascam us-428. how is the quality of this machine? and is it mainly the a to d converters that make an interface sound good or bad? my plan is to use my otari mx5050 mk III for recording, and then bump the tracks to the computer for mixing and editing. Wil i lose the analog quality when...

This may be a very stupid question and feel free to make fun of me as long as you answer. I know nothing about tape machines, and i just moved into a studio with an otari mx5050 mkIII. It will not stop when it is fastforwarding or rewinding. Only when it is playing. I can get it to stop if it is...

i need a manual for my otari mx5050 mkIII please help thank you, ben

thanks so much for the info thanks guys, for responding, i think im going to steer clear of the behringer mics for now. my initial interest was because i work at a record store that carries behringer so i could get them for even cheaper than cheap. thyanks again, ben

i know that it wont isolate the instrument sounds from the control area, but will it isolate the gear sounds from the mics?

I have relatively infrequent, (but frequent enough to be highly irritating) problems with my computer bluescreening and then counting to 100 before it restarts when i am using it for audio applications. i think it is the asio driver for my tascam us-428 because when i use the windows drivers i...

has anyone used behringer mics, specifically the b-2 pro? what did you think? thanks, ben

im just about to take over a recording studio and i am very new at this so there will be many more questions to come. but for starters, there is no control/equipment room, so i was going to seperate the gear from the recording space with flats. is this a good idea? and how do i make them...
