    Newby... Windows system issues

    1 Meg? I assume you mean 1 Gig. :D What kind of soundcard are you using? If you're just using the one that came with your computer it probably doesn't really have the balls to do what you want it to.

    Sennheiser e614

    Anyone have any experience with this mic? I'm looking to replace the MXL 604 I am using on the hi hat and right now, this one has peaked my interest. Any thoughts or other suggestions ($300 or less'ish). http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/e614/

    Cracked Cymbal

    I usually donate my cracked cymbals to the local high school kids who are in bands that can't afford shit. It doesn't sound exactly like an A Custom should, but it works for them.

    Help me pick a microphone!

    I just picked up an Audio-Technica AT4040 and I couldn't be happier. Threw it in front of an acoustic and it very faithfully recreated it. Sounded a bit boomy by the soundhole, but it has a low freq roll-off and that cleaned it right up. I haven't tried it on vocals yet, but I plan on trying it...

    Questions about mixing drums...

    And now to show how jargon challenged I am...what does it mean to "sub" the drums? I'll venture a guess that it means to submix, but I'm not entirely sure what that means either.

    In Ear Monitoring

    Any drum type folks around here use IEM's for studio or live work? I have been using a pair of Future Sonic M5's (http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/M5Atrio/) and while I much prefer them to headphones, they just feel like glorified ear buds and they don't stay in place for more then a song...

    Building Dedicated Reaper Box -- Suggestions?

    PreSonus just released some new drivers for it late last year. Supposedly it makes the DICE-II work with SONAR which was it's arch nemesis. I haven't upgraded drivers/firmware yet, more of an if it ain't broke don't fix it sort of guy. I've used my Reaper/PreSonus rig on two different DAW's...

    Motu Rules !

    PreSonus has better tech support the MOTU? Wow. I love my FireStudio, but getting support when needed has generally been iffy.

    Newbie needs a computer

    Going the firewire route instead of USB would probably help.

    Building Dedicated Reaper Box -- Suggestions?

    Been using a PreSonus FireStudio 2626 my entire run with Reaper, not a single issue.

    Building Dedicated Reaper Box -- Suggestions?

    I built my box specifically with Reaper and my FW Interface in mind and haven't had a problem. Other's have mentioned the DICE-II, and that's what my PreSonus FireStudio 2626 has, so I spent some time looking at known good hardware on their BBS and then hit Newegg with a vengeance. I think I...

    Reamote

    I remember reading somewhere that unless you are using an Ethernet adapter board (PCI/PCIe) that you really aren't gaining much of anything because your host processor still has to process all of the stuff coming over the network. If I find the link to the BBS I read that on, I'll throw a link...

    tuning a drum kit

    Same link that I was going to throw out there. There is also a DVD out there called Drum Tuning: Sound and Design...Simplified by Bob Gatzen (http://www.amazon.com/Drum-Tuning-Design-Various-Artists/dp/B0001NBLQ8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1232669444&sr=1-1) that covers a lot of the same...

    In or Out of the Box?

    When I recorded on my Roland VS units, I did everything in the box. I didn't feel that there were enough I/O options to get crazy so I just didn't worry about it. Since moving on from the VS I have been going back and forth as to what is the better way to do things. I've read articles that...

    BBE 882i Sonic Maximizer - Place in the studio

    I picked up the BBE Sonic Maximizer plugin on clearance through MF and the only thing I use it for is a quick mix to give an idea of what might come out later. Some people can't hear the end goal (including myself sometimes) so the BBE acts as an easy rough mix EQ to give a quick warm fuzzy of...
