I'd like to add that I have used the D112 on several occassions and it is a real nice kick drum mic. If you can't get the sound you want out of it... turn your attention to the kick drum rather than the kick drum mic. Also placement of the kick drum mic will dramatically effect the tone you...

250k could actually take someone a long way in terms of gear and recording environment. But I hope you plan to pay with cash cause the payoff of a loan that size will likely never be realized in the industry unless you're one heck of a lucky guy. I'd go to Mercenary.com and buy one or two of...

MESA TriAxis ain't bad. I wish I had one. I demo'd one once and I was pleased with it's performance and versatility.

you told us what mics he's got but not what pres he's already using. Care to enlighten us? I've been told a Great River ME1-NV and a Soundelux U195 make a fine front end. For what it's worth.

Well, I bet a couple of Pendulum Quartet ME's on the end or a folcrom would be cool. I've never used them but I've read a ton of reviews and the quartets are said to be wicked channel strips. Also Fletcher is selling the mp2-nv>eq2-nv>drawmer1968(9?) chain that I bet would be equally awesome...

I'm going to hijack the thread for a sec and ask something in addition to the questions already posed. If you have more than 16 tracks to sum, you'd obviously need two folcroms but then you've got 2 sets of left and right to then mix down again. So, I was thinking maybe an api 3124+mb would...

The burlap you need is like that which comes from the best pak company. It's sterilized to get rid of the "natural" smells and even colored to meet your decor desires. You can spray it down with flame retardent spray to avoid fire hazards. And it's not that pricey...

Thats what i needed to hear. Thanks!

Yup, my experience was very similar, indeed.

My hardware choice would be an RME HDSP 96/52. $599 for 24 digital i/o. So Sonar 5 Studio Edition can do what I'm asking for $299? I just don't want to spend a heap of money on software. I have an HD24. I just want an inexpensive way to automate volume, pan, fx, and mutes on tracks then...

I mean, I want to record otb, then dump tracks to pc, then automate mixes then send each automated track out to a summing buss. Homestudio 4 is like $99. Can it do as I'd like? What else can do this task without going overkill with like more than 64 audio outs? I hope I've explained myself...

You mean you don't have any more of those wonderfully cheap moving blankets you could throw up on the walls.:D Just joshin' ya, dude! I'd say side walls definitely. then ceiling, then front or back wall.

I haven't had success in copying multiple tracks to a new song. Is this a track by track process?

I've learned with the HD24 to just go ahead and "activate" more tracks than I need so, if you're thinking of using 16 tracks, go ahead and activate all 24. You can always leave them out later and if you want to try multiple takes without erasing previous ones, you've got the room to move. Just...

I've never recorded vocals more than 1 foot away from the mic. With a pop filter in place, I may only be 6-8 inches from the mic. I have however recorded other people at distances of 2-3 feet away and the difference was I could tell he was far away from the mic. I'd say the harshness you...

I've recorded say a guitar track 100 times until it's perfect and then moved on to vocals or something and forgot to switch the mic inputs on the mixer so the guitars are playing back just fine until I hit the punch in for the vocals to start and the guitars that we worked so hard to get right...

I just quickly googled it to see what it was and from what I read it accepts line level signals so, you'll need a pre amp to get the levels up to par going in. That's just my instant take on it though. Plus Digidesign has discontinued that product. I don't know if they stop supporting...

Wipe everything down with a downey dryer sheet. :D

In keeping continuity... Frontier designs makes the Tango24. 8 channel a/d converter for 700 bucks at Sweetwater. That and say an API 3124+ and you're smokin'! ANYTHING BUT BEHRINGER!!!!!!!!!!!

So if I read you right, your friend wants to buy 4 pre's and an 8 channel converter on x amount of dollars? How about a Presonus Digimax? Or the Focusrite Octopre? What exactly is the budget? Will a second octane not work for some reason?
