Ground the whole thing first and see what happens. Also have you looked into having your guitar's cavities shielded with copper or shielding paint? I've had it done to my 2 single coil jazz basses and it's made a huge difference in my basement studio. (annoying dimmers.)

I've got a Hosa single latching foot switch I'm going to modify to work as a talkback foot switch. I'm going to replace the latching switch with a non latching switch, but I'm not sure if I need a normally open switch or a normally closed switch. I've been using it as-is, but it's pretty...

I would think that maybe you aren't getting a good ground. Is there a way to beef up the grounding of the trailer? Sort of like beefing up engine grounding in a car with a metal strap... Just throwing out an idea.

EDIT: I need to read better. When you turn your body (while having the guitar strapped on) does the pitch or frequency of the tick change? Have any dimmers in your home?

wow, it looks great! I can't believe you were doing it all in the booth previously.

I agree, I wouldn't actually use it to control your monitors but it works really well for talkback. It also gives me another headphone amp in case I'm tracking in my tracking room, iso booth, and in the control room at the same time. That way I can use the headphone amp on my Firepod for...

In a room as small as a typical closet, you will basically want to cover every surface with foam. Probably use a cardioid mic too.

I haven't been able to find the insulation, but any fabric store will have burlap. I think in the link he says he got his at Joan's Fabrics which is a big chain where I am. If you find an online source for 703 let me know.

I already have 3 CAD GXL3000's and 2 Naiant X-M's. Would I hear a substantial difference over my other condensers to warrant buying an M177? Well I hope so, my gear addiction took over and I had to buy one. Had to fight the urge to buy 2!

What I ended up doing is running one of these inline between the firepod and my tracking room's headphone amp. It has a mic built in and is foot switchable. I also added a preamp with S/PDIF, so I have access to 10 channels and I don't have to waste one on talkback...

I won a couple of bulk remnant auctions from foam n more. I was just trying to cut down on flutter in my tracking room. It doesn't really work for that, but it does look impressive. Here's a link to the $25 DIY panel... which I should have built instead...

Or for a little bit more, get a used ART DPS II. It's a stereo tube preamp. That way you gain 2 channels over S/PDIF instead of just one. They go for about $150 used on ebay. God, those pictures are annoyingly large.

I already have an external 320 gig 7200RPM firewire drive I've been using. If I go this route would I be better off recording directly to the internal drive instead of the external like I have been doing? I was always under the impression it used fewer resources recording to an external drive.

Why do I need a bigger power supply? Is there a way to know how much power the computer will need? And as far as budgets go, I'm trying to do this as cheaply as possible. The way it's currently configured as around the top of my budget. If I could get a less expensive power supply I might be...

This is my first build, so I'm checking with everybody here to see how I'm doing. I plan on using XP service pack 3. My interface is a Presonus Firepod with an Art DPS II running in through the S/PDIF. I also use a Western Digital MyBook firewire 320 gig external hard drive. Let me know if...

The Firepod has S/PDIF out but I don't think it has word clock out. It does make me wonder what use you would have for S/PDIF out though.

OK, so the answer is I might be able to use all 10 channels (Firepod-8, Art-2) at once without an external word clock... but if I get hiss/dropouts I should add an external word clock.

Right now I'm only charging a little over $10 per hour to track. When mixing I'll only charge $20 or $30 total depending on how many songs I'm doing. Sometimes if I don't have anybody coming in over a weekend or a break, I'll post on craigslist with a MEGA CHEAP deal, like $70 to record over 2...

very nice setup shaun!

if you're asking about the gold pop filter on musiciansfriend, I have one. They are built well.
