I'm considering either a Godin LG P90 or a Yamaha Pacifica with either a Crate Palomino V16 (15W) or a Vox AD50VT (50W). The weird thing is that the 50W amp is cheaper. Is it because the Palomino is tube, while the Vox is tube modeling? I'm also considering a Crate V Series amp, though I'd have...

Thanks. I'm wasn't sure if it could result in sound quality loss in the microphone. I'm more worried about my AT4047 than my Firebox. I don't notice anything, so I'm assuming that like you said, as long as everything still works, it's okay.

I haven't been keeping track these past few months I've begun recording, but are you not supposed to take out the mic while the phantom power's still on? The proper procedure is to power it on after plugging in and powering off before, right? Have I been doing any serious damage if I've done it...

I'm just wondering. If I get into analog, I'll either have to get a phantom power box or use a battery powered condenser like Rode NT3 or dynamic mic.

I have the Ministudio Porta02 (mkII). I'm not sure if the absence of noise reduction is a bad thing? I think this is a newer model, released in 1998, so I don't know if the signal to noise ratio was improved by then? Or am I totally wrong with this? Should've mentioned this earlier. Hope this...

What options do I have? Can I get a separate dbx module and run it through my recording chain? Or would I be better off just getting a portastudio model that has it built-in? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I'm considering either the Novation ReMOTE SL 25 or the Edirol PCR-300 32. I'm using Cubase to record, but am getting frustrated with having to use my mouse to tweak softsynths. I'm trying to get into designing my own sounds, and the mouse setup isn't really working time-efficiency-wise. I'm...

Interesting you mention that. I downloaded that 2 days ago, but never got to installing everything. Yeah, I tried the bass last night, excellent :). I think I'd eventually get an electric bass...the bigger problem is piano (I don't have the space or $), but there are plenty of very inexpensive...

I already have the naturally decaying bass guitar I found on Hammersound.net. Would I be better off looking for cheap payware than freeware?

Thanks for the tips. I have another quick question. When you input your drum hits with a keyboard or drum pad, do you usually have to move the beats around manually, with latency being a factor and all? Or if you have a computer with enough RAM and processing speed, you can just record it in...

I know it would be easier to edit if I loaded the samples into a drum machine like Grizzly, right? But the problem with that is that I only have 2 VST slots.

I don't know if I'm using drum samples how most other people do it. I've found some royalty free drum samples from audioskull.com, and I'm basically just importing .wav files into cubase le and then copying and pasting them. I've got it so it's in rhythm. Is there a way to vary the sound of the...

A CS major with a music tech minor doesn't seem so bad right now, especially while I still can look forward.

A curious thought just occurred to me. By the same argument of "don't do it, you're destined to live in a box--they don't give a crap about your degree," can't you say that every arts/language-related major is a waste of time? They could've just learned it through Internet forums or just by...

Reading some of this makes me kind of anxious about what I'm going to do with my near future. I just transferred from safe majors in cs then to chem, now to music with music tech emphasis at UMaryland Baltimore. I'm already 21. I think music's one of a few things I'm sure I have the least bit...

Based on what I know so far, I think it depends on if you're more comfortable with or prefer pads. I'm fine for now with just using synth action keys to input MIDI drums. But I haven't tried pads yet. I kind of wish I'd kept my Axiom instead of replacing it with a Micron, considering all the...

Yeah, I was just wondering what most bands do. I'm trying to branch out into composing, like learning Finale and everything. But I have to master music theory first. I think trying to recording with just me and my acoustic guitar's helped me a lot with my chord structures and melodies, just...

Oh, wow, thanks for that info. That makes me even more happy I bought some Naiants. :)

Oh okay, thanks. Are omni's best used as room mics and not particularly good for close-miking?

I just got a matched pair of X-Q's since I haven't experimented with cello and acoustic guitar tracks in stereo yet. I've tried browsing naiant's website for audio samples of the X-M, but came up empty. Can anyone who has both comments on which imparts more of a warmer, fuller quality?
