Total of 8 channels, acceptable sound quality for an amateur home recordist, total cost...

    so i finally got my monitor speakers back..5 weeks later

    Damn disto, that's just sad. I'm happy so far with M-Audio's BX5's for the $$. And their customer service is the stuff legends are made off.

    Very new here

    You'll need to have recording software like cakewalk's Home Studio or Sonar or cubase etc., but to start try the freeware "Audacity". I think you can find it at hitsquad.com

    Who here records something OTHER than music?

    Boingo-- Do you use the sounds you record as samples in projects? Nature sounds CDs to help you sleep? Just 'cuz it's pretty cool and fun? Ipdelux-- That gives me an idea, I have a friend who's a good poet but kinda shy about reading, maybe if we recorded him he could get used to reading and...

    Who here records something OTHER than music?

    For example, our son is a budding writer and a drama junkie, so we are planning to add audio theater to our studio's operations.

    Who would you order from?

    Hey Richie What's wrong with Sile's post? At the begining of the thread part of the discussion was about the item to be purchased (M-Audio Studiophile BX5) as well as where to buy. There must be more to it. Sile...Thanks for your vote, I've had 'em almost a week, they're more than I had...

    too much stick sound on cymbal

    200!!!!????? Wow I'd have thought MUCH higher than that. I'll try that for mixing practice, but I'm pretty eure now it's a mic placement thing, it's only on one song, same drummer same style, but the mics were moving all over the studio.

    Drum OH's SDC VS LDC

    Thanks guys. I'm just setting up and on a VERY tight budget so I'm gonna try a pair of S.P. B1's for OH and won't need to spend the $$ for another vocal mic just yet. This'll keep me at least operating til I can afford some better quality mics and the B1's will become another paintbrush in my...

    Drum OH's SDC VS LDC

    Most commonly I hear SDC recommended for drum OH, LDC for vocals. But I hear equal recommendations of LDC Vs SDC for acoustic guitar. From what I understand SDC mics give a more accurate response while LDC tend to add more coloration. But if coloration is a good thing on vox and some acoustics...

    too much stick sound on cymbal

    How do I get rid of excessive stick sound on the ride cymbal? Should I sweep through the upper freqs till I can notch it out? Would it be fiddling with the attack setting on the compressor? thanks.

    Advice on lava lamps needed

    Hmmmmmmmmm, that 'aint right. They do take time to get going, some as long as four hours depending on room temp, they like to be about 22C (70-74F). But they should be good to go for up to 10 hours.

    Advice on lava lamps needed

    sounds like it may be overheated and needs to rest, if it's been on several hours (8-10 or more) give it a rest.

    Advice on lava lamps needed

    I've just placed my order at Lavalites.com. I decided to go with white lava in blue liquid feeling that this would be the best compliment to the soothing blue lights of our recently purchased BX5 monitors.

    Yamaha MG16/4 - Any good? And other questions...

    If you're just using it as a direct out to go to an input of a soundcard you don't need a Y adapter, just a 1/4" plug in to the 1st "click".
