There are a couple of different ways to use your pedal on a mic. What I would do is record the mic track dry and apply the effect later. To do this you would simply return the effect into one of the inputs on top and either send it to a track or strait to the stereo mix. You could also get...

sondriven - sorry i did not see this post until now that manual is pretty rough:D i will be happy to help you out, but if you could give me a little info it might save some time. Is that pedal mono or stereo? Are you trying to return the effected signal to a track to record it, or are you...

I used a tmd1000 for a while so I can probably answer a few questions. Salvadore wrote: "My first question on the tm d1000 is why is it so cheap is it a bad mixer. is it easy to conect to adat do i need to buy any extra parts for the conection. and are there any other draw backs. Thanks"...

external effects sondriven - what are you having trouble with regarding your external effect processor? I use my quadraveb all the time, so I might can help. Let me know what you are using and I will try to help you figure out the problem.

If I was in your position I would probably get 2 xt20's to track to, and a good soundcard for your G4 to mix down and burn a cd from. I assume you plan on using your mackie for preamps and to mix with, but you might want to consider a good preamp for critical vocal/acoustic applications. A...

http://www.fasoft.com I prefer n-track over all the others I have tried(cakewalk, CEP, vegas pro, cubase) because it does everything they do, only easier and much cheaper. Just my opinion;)

oh yeah, try a search(upper right corner) for "kick drum mics" and you should find mucho information. :)

the ATpro25 is a good mic. The ATM25 is also highly regarded around here. I would take either one of those two over a D112 or a shure beta 52 anyday, but that is just my opinion. It would be nice to be able to test out a few different mics with your particular setup to see which one gives you...

As Bruce said, do not run the external speaker out to anything except a passive(non-powered) speaker. To play through a cabinet all you need is a cabinet(duh:)) and a power amp. You could plug a cabinet into your speaker out of your amp, although it will only sound as good as your amp...

I would suggest getting a matched pair of either the Oktava MC012's from here http://www.oktava.com/ Or for a little less $$$ these here http://www.8thstreet.com/Product.asp?ProductCode=7466 Both are great mics. The oktava's are more versatile because of the different capsules available. The...

I did not mean that the dps16 is as loud as a typical computer, but it does make some noise.;) My computer has two fans and when they kick on that sucker screams:) I usually worry more about the other noisy things in my house more then the recorder, so you shouldn't have to worry too much about...

You can disable the hard drive record with many different scsi drives if you want too, all through the disk select menu. I guess if you really wanted to you could get an orb drive or something like that and isolate it from the room entirely. That would cut down on the noise for sure.:D

noise CompKid - The Akai uses a 10 GB IDE hard drive, therefor it makes noise. It sounds just like a computer when it is making noise. Needless to say you wouldn't want to set up a condensor very close to it, but I think that is a rule no matter what you are recording with.

happy hour - Inputs 1&2 have both XLR and 1/4" connections and phantom power. Inputs 3-8 have 1/4" connections and automatically switch from balanced to unbalanced when needed. All of these have preamps.:) It seems that with any decent(and not-so-decent) multitrack recorders you are expected...

my Akai has two xlr inputs, but eight preamps. Doesn't make sense to me either. I think that, even though every on-board pre I've heard was pretty crappy, it would be nice to have xlr connections just for the balanced outs from my external preamps.

There are a few cable companies that are pretty highly regarded for quality cables. Try these: http://www.canare.com/cablemainframe.html http://www.belden.com/ http://www.mogami.com/e/index.html Stay away from cheap quality cables at all cost:D http://www.fullcompass.com has good prices on...

that really depends on what gear you are looking for. I have had success with http://www.8thstreet.com and http://www.music123.com

If you haven't already, monitor the signal coming out of the cassette deck while you are mixing down. This will let you hear exactly what is going to the tape. I am thinking that mabey the problem is with the cassette deck. Just a thought;)

Check and see if the overload lights on the mackie pre's are lighting up on the snare hits. That would provide the buzz in the overheads and hihat mic. I do not think that the oktava's should peak out which leaves only the pre's. Try turing the gain down and pushing the fader up a little on...
