A. You can't afford a mic. Well, musicians friend has Nady Dynamics for $20. Let's say you only have 20 cents. Okay, do you have some old headphones? You can plug headphones into a channel and use them as a mic. My old band recorded a live stereo demo using telephone mics. Round pieces...

Ebay has some dealer saling Joe Meek SC2.2's for $135. Isn't this a really really really good buy?

That is some funny shit. I couldn't agree more. Ya know, I would buy the Neve EQ with the mic pre for $8,000 but I think I should just go for that RNC compressor and ART Tube MP first. Then I won't have to sell my soul to the company sto'.

I thought I heard not to buy Syquest cause they went out of business. Maybe that was some other company. (???)

Okay. Now where do I get one and how much should it cost?

You have $100 to $200 to spend on a compressor. You will use this for everything; vocals, guitars, drums, bass, and mixdowns. What do you buy?

Was it a Vestax? They made rack mountable four tracks. I haven't used one but Weird Paul used one. If you've heard his stuff than you heard one of those machines.

I have zero experiance with syncing. Is it possible to put a sync track on 2 portastudios and use them together?

For $20 (on sale) you can get a pair of AKG K44s from Musicians Friend. They are low-end but they sure beat the hell out of the 3 pair I already had that came with boombox stereos and walkmans. And for that price, you could drop $100 and get a pair for the whole band.... Plus...the cord comes...

I click on the address, and a percentage starts going up. It usually stops around 35. I'm on a etower emachine, 366 Mhz celeron, 4.3 gig hard drive, 56k modem, yadda yadda yadda. Should this work? Also, do I have to become a member of...the Mp3 place? (I saw it said "login" somewhere...)

Couldn't you just bounce from the VCR back to the 424 onto 1 track, thereby leaving 2 vocal tracks and the Rhodes track? If mono isn't your thing you could just add some stereo reverb. (Am I correct? I mean if I just said something totally stupid please tell me. I'm not quite a...

I'm guessing a lot of you guys would never put the words "punk" and "great recording" together. It just so happens that I like punk and I love a good Rock and Roll record. In this case, my favorite mix has always been "Let's Go." They decided to spend more money than time and recorded a 23...

Hey guys, thanks for the opinions. No, the certificate isn't what I'm after. It's like this, I can justify spending 3k that I DON'T have on school (2k student loan, and 1k loan from the recording school...), a hell of a lot easier than I can justify spending 2k on a VS-880 and cd burner...

I don't know about old mics, but I do have a Turner Dynamic S22D. It used to work if you moved the cord just so, but now it doesn't. Rewiring's all it needs I'm sure. I also have a gold Astatic 200 S. I haven't used it yet but the guy who gave it to me said he didn't like it cause it picked...

Here's what I'm thinking. I already a lot of basics. How much, I'm not sure. I know how a multitrack recorder works, how a mixer works, reverb, etc. I get a little confused sometimes on effects loops but I think that's just do to the shitty tascam manual. I've recorded a 3 piece band to...

I hear more about the Roland VS880 than anything else. But here is the skinny as I understand it. Roland VS840- $1000 4 track record, 8 track playback. Can't hook up a cd burner. Built in Zip or Jaz drive. Roland VS880- $1500. 8 track record and playback. Can use a cd burner. Roland...

I have a Tascam 414 portastudio. If I got the ART tube mp, could I run it out to a 1/4 to rca adapater and plug that into my sub ins to bypass the mixer? If not, is there ANY way to bypass the mixer?

Well...I see what you're saying. But here is the scoop as I know it... For $3000 (that is tuition, fees, room, and $100 a week spending money) you get five weeks of training. Monday through Friday 8 hours a day. 3 hours of lecture, 5 hours of hands on in the studio in groups of 3 to 6. They...

I agree on the string savers. Carvin sells em cheaper than AMS, IMS, or Musicians Friend. I went from breaking a couple a week to breaking about 1 every 2 months. No kidding. I've definitly made back my $30. As for strings, just remember that Higher Action and bigger strings equals better...

I bought my first compressor. The Alesis Nanocompressor. It works if I set the controls to ungodly settings. I have only had it for 15 days or so. I can still return it. Should I? If so, what should I get? RNC? An ART Tubepac? A dbx 266? Help. (to be used for everything)
