I have a S/PDIF stereo out on my workstation. I want to send my mixdown to an external cd burner's S/PDIF input (alesis masterlink). Do I have to do anything special? Or will it record like sending an analog signal to a tape deck? Thanks!

Thanks massive, I will be in touch when I have completed my work. I have to say your website and your constant good advice to all of us here sold me on bringing my project to you.

Since they will be going to your facility, I should be checking with you.

I need to make good quality pre-masters for the mastering house. Which is the best format? And could I get some suggestions on various brands, models Such as the Alesis Masterlink etc. Thank you

I own an AW4416 which came with an internal cd burner. When I burn to cd the volume comes out quite low, About one half the volume it should be (-30db) As opposed to (-6 to -8db) I have searched around and found some tricks I can do to get it to record louder, but at the same time I am still...

Are these still the best monitors for recording? Years back they were the be all end all for recording studio's.

I have (2) great River pre's, They are clean, very responsive and well worth every dime.

Your tascam machine, How many tracks? Your mixer, How many channels? Ins & Outs? Do you have a stereo buss on the mixer? What I use to do with 4 trackers is record bass, drums, guitar on 3 seperate tracks. I would then mix them to a buss and record them onto track 4 This would give me 3...

After some searching I have found the type of cable I need for hooking it up. My next question is this: I set the sampling rate in the AW at 44.1 because that is the same rate as cd's and since I have a CDR built in for mixdown everything is matched up. If I were to record through my "Chain"...

Sorry, I wrote the title wrong So will a A/D convertor plugged in to the digital input of the 4416 really make a big difference in sound quality? Also what type of cables are needed. The digital in and out on the 4416 are coaxial and appear to be RCA connectors. There is one input and one...

How much better of a sound can be had if I were to use a quality 96khz A/D convertor going directly into the digital inputs on my AW4416? At this time I am running my "chain" (Great River pre/EL8 distressor) into the mic pre's on the 4416. I try to maximize the gain through both units but, by...

I would like some mic suggestions for recording distorted guitar. I am looking for a more airy sound Than a dynamic produces in distant micing. Thanks

Firesole, Thank you for taking the time to listen, sorry about the cruddy Mp3 quality. I am happy to hear that I seem to be on the right Track. -Mr. Torture

This is a 60 second clip of a song I am working on and I would like to get opinions on how I am doing as far as recording quality. I used windows sound recorder to record this clip off my AW4416 so the quality of the Mp3 is lacking to say the least. The Mp3 was uploaded to free ftp space given...

I was wondering, What is the typical cost of having a song mastered? Lets say a 5 minute song. Also what type of format do they require? And as my final question, What about a mixdown and master. I record with an AW4416. Could I just burn the tracks I recorded to a CD and send it out for mixdown...

How important is a really good eq in the chain? I am looking at the GML 8200. $5000.00 clams for that big boy. Is it something that will dramatically improve the sound of whatever I choose to record? Are they really that much better than off the board eq? Opinions please.... Thanks!!

chessparov, I have heard of the RE20 and have thought of giving it a try. It is a very good suggestion. darrin_h2000, I dont think Neumann is chinese? and they have been around since the 60's, before the sm57. Robert Plant Metal? I think not. When I think of...

I am not sure what you mean by "eating the mic" But from what I seen on this video each vocalist was about an inch or less from the pop screen and that was only about 2 inches from the microphone. And these guys were belting out, Halford, Tate, Dio to name a few. And every single vocalist used...

I have the video of the making of the hearing aid song/video. This is from the 80's and features some of the best metal singers ever. Every singer used a neumann U87 for there vocal tracks and in fact Dio used (2) of them, one hanging upside down and the other right side up with about 2 to 3...
