I generally intend using the unit to record vocals, bass and guitar. I'm not familiar with the RNC, what's that please? To your knowledge, is the VMP enough for this? It sounds from what you're saying that the compressor on the unit is not really all that. I must admit that I like the other...

You're right, it is an optical compressor. So is that a good or a bad thing? According to the manual, without the hard ratio button selected, the compression is 2.5: 1, but with hard ratio button selected, it is 6:1. So how do I get say a 4:1 or 3:1 or even a 2:1 setting? From your knowledge...

The existing psu is pretty loud. The quieter ones are so expensive and not even necessarily quieter. I'll have to figure out some housing of some sort. When you say carprt to the ceiling above the mic, do you mean the whole ceiling or just a section above the mic? Is this to do with...

Thanks for the links which were very informative and enlightening. The confusion still is that again the article mentions compressor setting ratios to use, however it doesnt' say how. Is it simply a case that when you say you use a 2:1 ratio as opposed to a 5:1, it simply means set your...

The room is actually not treated but is very small and cos I have quite a lot of stuff in there, it is actually quite dense. I have thought about moving the computer into my wardrobe but there will be the problem of how I connect all the other stuff that's connected to it, my Digi 001, the...

Help please. I just bought a Focusrite compressor/preamp thingy and would like to know how you actually set those 2:1, 5:1, etc settings I hear about cos nothing in the manual mentions how I go about doing it. I am new to using a compressor and at the risk of sounding naive, I expected it was...

Help anyone? I have just a single room as a studio which is small, about 10ft x 8ft. There's alot of stuff in it, so it's quite dense. The plan is to start recording vocals and i've just bought a Neumann TLM 103 and a Focusrite pre-amp/compressor. I would like to cut vocals as dry as...

Sorry to sound so greem, but what's a double laphroig neat?

Thanks DD, i'll do that pronto!

I am told that an outboard compressor like the Focusrite Platinum is much better than the ProTools plug-in that comes with the system. Any true? To be honest I am more comfortable with the hardware stuff, however if what I have on the PTLE will do, then fine.

Thanks. You are right, I actually forgot that the Pro Tools LE does come with a compressor plug in. When you say hang a blanket in a corner do you mean literally do that and then just move the mic to that corner. It's just that some people are telling me to move away from walls and corners...

Thanks for all the useful advice so far guys. Now, I have a Pro Tools LE/ Digi001 setup and intend to purchase a Neumann TLM103 mic to start recording seriously. Problem is I only have one tiny room, 7ft x 7ft to record in, which contains all the equipment as well. I'm concerned about...

I'm in London, so I don't know the comparables with the US (presume you're in Atlanta?), but i'm looking at going into a studio that costs about 250 GBP ($400-ish) for an 8 hour session. The aim is to cut a record from this.

Thanx

I'm about to record an R&B/Rap project. Does anyone know what the best mics to use are please? My intention is to record vocals in a proper stdio as I don't have the acoustics at home, and then bring back home to mixdown. I've been checking out studios and there's this long list of mics...

Thanks a lot guys. The Tascam back into the digi sounds like a pretty good idea, i'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks, what does the Masterlink do? I know it appears stupid question cos it's obvious it's for mastering to, I meant it as in what is it and how does it work?

Thanks Green Man. I am running ProTools LE with a Tascam DM24 desk, so the final mix is being taken from the mixer. Hope I paint a clearer picture of the setup.

I intend to start producing final mixes from my home studio for eventual mastering and commercial release. Can anyone please tell me which of these media will be better to mixdown to? I have a DAT machine but read somewhere that the sort used in major studios is different and what I have is...
