Be sure to check you mic cable for correct wiring and polarity, crucial for phantom powered mics.

Laminated acoustics are fine the down side is that they do not age like solid top, back and side guitars do. As acoustic instruments age their tone sweetens or gets warmer, laminated instruments do not but retain the same sound.

You shouldn't have any issue with transferring .wav files into cubase. The preamps on the DP02 leave something to be desired with many mics but for direct or line recording you will be fine. Using a mic pre even an inexpensive one like an ART Tube MP will most often have some sonic benefits of...

The DP02 is a good machine to cut your teeth on for home recording. David Willis does an informative series of DVD tutorials, well worth the price. He has one on the DP02 and for beginners I'd suggest also checking out the Ultimate Home Recording School as well. Tascam DP-02 / DP-02CF...

The only times I have had any issue with burned CDs is if the mix levels are too high, remember the 2488 has a broader bandwidth and can actually go past "digital zero" better than most common players and if you push the levels too much you can get the dreaded digital distortion which players...

I'll let you know when I get a copy, his book has been on my list for a while but may get more out of the DVD. FWIW I have been watching the Alan Parsons' Art and Science of Recording and the David Willis Recording Boot Camp and getting helpful stuff from both of them. Alan Parsons' Art &...

Sure, the output on the synth module is likely line level, wtf hotter than a gtr plugged in.

Listening in mono can reveal phase issues as well as let you hear level or eq issues that may not be apparent in stereo.

No it should not be that noisey, you likely have a gain or impedance mismatch or a bad cable.

I have a pair of Mogami Gold Studio Quad cables that are great but I also have a pair of Blue Bluberry dual cables that are just as detailed and quiet for less than half the price.

I just went to a smaller board for live bass work from 16 to 6 and am pretty pleased Hjart Muller Lo|Fat overdrive- Digitech Bass Synth Wah- Austone FuzzNutzTexTone- Modified EHX BassBalls- Alkai UniBass- Zoom B2.1u Recording it's pretty much whatever works, for guitar stuff I am mostly using an...

FWIW the Yamaha speakers are in some ways the industry standard but not because of audio fidelity but because they are a happy medium between ultrafidelity and poo. The H550M is a powered version of the old Yamaha NS10 speakers that became a mainstay in most studios, originally they were a...

It's all in how you assign the signal chain. If you want to record or print the effects you break the input assignment to a channel> assign the input to the multi effect and tweak as desired> assign the multi to a channel to record and arm the track to record> and then rock out. If you...

All Jon's mics are condensers and are amazing mics and very affordable. Naiant

I have always used Augustine Blue strings on my classical guitars, feel balanced and always sound good acoustically or plugged in.

Welcome. I have always used Augustine Blue sets on my classical guitars and always loved the feel and sound acoustically and plugged in.

The Naiant X-O is a brighter sound and I like the way it sits in the mix opening up the midrange for other instruments. I have an X-S mic that gets a workout around the studio and for gigging sounds great on Linda's Sax and clarinet works well on recorder as well.

I use an older pair of Tascam CM-10 3 way studio monitors powered by a Crown CTS600 amp for the mains and a pair of KRK Rockets for mid field. Being a budget home studio guy I have a pair of MXL V63M ldc, pair of Behringer C-2 sdc, pair of Shure SM57, Naiant X-S, and a selection of dynamic...

I often set up that way for vocals because I prefer to have vocalists use a lyric sheet and i can place the music stand underneath.

Over the past 2 months I have been hip deep in several mixing projects, spending hours every day in deep listening, deliberating over minutia and have declared a holiday weekend from work. I have been listening to my favorite stuff: Steely Dan, now Weather Report not sure where i will go next...
