I don't mean I want to make a muddy vocal track better, but in the future, what is the best thing to (the best word I can think of is 'sharpen') my vocal tracks. Signal chain is not something I'm proud of by any means: JTS NX-9 (Cheap) SDC -> Yamaha MG 16/4 -> Laptop Line-In (Sigma-Tel if...

Are there any reviews around comparing the Presonus FirePod and the Motu 8pre?

I'm looking to bundle mic leads that are going around my kit, because there are bunches of 3, 5, which then split into pairs, lying in the same place from my mixer. That was a bad explanation, but I basically wanna have a sort of cloth tube which will go around a small group of mic leads, just...

When you say multiple computers, you mean at the same time right? If so, you probably want to look at a network hard-drive, which can be plugged into a router. I record onto a laptop, save onto this hard-drive, then edit the tracks using a different laptop. Saves time from transferring files...

Thanks for replies. I just got up out of bed (1am) to read about this because I forgot I made the thread (don't have notifications on!). JoeBannon, I know they filter out the damaging sounds, but they also feed in more sound. I'm worried that they won't lower the sound level as much as...

I know this is a recording forum, but I know many people are sound-techs / performers, etc. I'm interested in buying some in ear monitors, and I only really know about the Shure ones. At the moment, when I play live, I either use 12dB ear plugs with filters, or somethign like 24dB plugs, which...

And I should be able to use the encoder directly from SONAR right?

Thanks for the two replies so far guys, too fast!!! And yes, I had thought of that, and maybe I was using a crap encoder with it. I just downloaded CDex a long time ago, and have never known if it is meant to be reliable. Are the LAME and the Fraunhofer both free?

by the way, Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, I didn't really know where to put it! A second question: I'm saving as an mp3 from a .wav, but would this give a lower quality result than if I saved directly to an mp3 (I'm using SONAR). Recording in 16 bit 44.1, and that's the same as...

Hey, for saving as an mp3 / m4a-acc / lame mp3, what program should I use to get the best results, no worries about time or anything of course. I am worried about file size, and will be writing at 128kbps. Just would like some recommendations on what file type to use and what program. I've...

I gotta say, the number of people who tell me that bass notes take a longer distance before they are "fully manifested", or something to that effect, is amazing. It bugs me that people try to explain that the sound is louder at a greater distance and things like that too. But is there a reason...

Hey, can't find that on the site... Can only see the 1220, which is just a 4 mic mixer. Got a link? Thanks

Thanks, that makes sense. The board is powered by one of those standard 3-pin connectors (like a guitar amp). If anyone's interested, here's the product: http://210.243.85.5/partner/modules/product_explor/products_detail.php?product_id=141#

Went into the shop today. It was indeed the Phonic, which has 16 mic inputs, and seems to be exactly what I want. Fair bit more than the FirePod, but has the extra channels, and has 32bit effects built in, which might come in handy, plus a heap more outputs, so I could use it as my main mixer...

I'm almost certain none of the big three offer more than 12 months. You shouldn't be worried about breaking an alpha unless you break cymbals a lot, in which case work out what you're doing wrong before you get any new ones. I reckon you'll be fine with the alpha. But then if you've got the...

Hey, I looked at the PreSonus FirePod, and that is the sort of thing I am after, but I'd like and extra 2 channels at least. I'd be happy with FireWire or USB or ethernet... or something else I may be able to use? (There's an idea... 54Mbps wireless digital audio? But that's not my question)...

See what you posted... it actually says these people dislike Rush. I think that's perfectly fair. Neil Peart is amazing, but I don't really like Rush. And I can understand why people may not like Neil himself. I think there are MANY bands where the music is fantastic, and the musicians are...

I've heard that all Paiste cymbals are sheet. I've never really looked into them, too expensive here in Australia, when I can get the sounds I want from Zildjian and Sabian. Two of my ZBTs cracked, although one was because of an idiotic mistake I made with placement - the cymbal was too close...

Ah yes, I kinda made a bit of a hasty reply, I didn't really take in which Audix mics. I don't know anythign about the F series. I gotta say I still think more options is a massive bonus, and having the extra mic may just make the difference. And yes, if you can borrow headphones, $350 will...
