Me being, perhaps being little too open minded, was trying endlessly to pan my drums up and down because of the advice of chessrock gave someone else. :D

I had a feeling you worked for Police Squad. :D

Something you could do if you're unsure about whether or not you want to spend on two mics is buy one and see if you can get by with it. If it doesn't, buy the other. I don't think they come as matched pairs anyway. Something I might suggest when using one LDC on a kit is try positioning it...

I like to use the air in my girlfriend's head. :D

As far as I can tell, there is always a full moon. Hell just read one of my posts! :D

Well, this is what I would do with that budget (Monitoring Budget 20%) 400 max Wharfedale 8.2a $340 I have these and for the most part my mixes sound right on any other system I've tried them on. Though I should say that I've really only had a chance to test them on six or seven different...

I'm not sure about the graphics card. Alot of the newer motherboards are starting to use PCIe for graphics cards. That GeForce (if I remember right) needs an AGP port. Just make sure the specs on the main board specify that it has an agp port.

I'm using an Intel D945GNT mother board with a P4 3.2GHz Prescott on my rack computer. Works good with my Motu PCI. You'd probably want something with a fast bus (look for FSB in the spec) speed and SATA controllers and find a processor that will fit into that. Or vice versa.

Wharfedale 8.2As may be a little bit out of your price range ($340), but I have them and so far I haven't had an issue with translation. Though I should say that I haven't fully tested them yet. But the few mixes I've done sound as right on any other system as they do on the Wharfes. Not that...

I recently got a pair of Earthworks TC30s and tested them out by playing a CD through my monitors and micing the monitors. After I got the placement right (or there about) I recorded it and was pretty floored at how close it sounded. I was using an Allen and Heath GL2400 for pres and a Motu...

The way we've gotten booked is by showing up at jam nights. The club promoters will normally ask when we can play when we get off the stage if they're there. Try and record your demo live and make sure whoever is going to book you knows that it was recorded live. A reasonable draw for a band...

I like my Firepod alot. Good unit for the money. I haven't used the Tascam though. The tascam only comes with 4 preamps though, so if you want to plug eight mics into you converter, you may want to go with the firepod.

I wish they made cds like that. The first project I did with a computer based system, I use a separate file for each song. I do everything as one big file now.

I'm not exactly sure about what you are trying to do, but you can export the tracks out of the D32XD and import them into the Cubase project. Edit and mix from there. If you want do dump the tracks back into the Korg, I believe you can bounce each track to wav files and then import back into...

One of the local clubs in my area uses a pg81 to mic the hihat. Other than that I've never seen anything other than micing every drum. Depending on how much it picks up, the LDC on kick might give you feedback trouble if anybody wants to hear the kick through the monitors. On a side note, If...

I'd have to third the M series. I have an M4 that I like a lot. I got it for $300 off the floor from a store that wasn't carrying them anymore. I like the pres on my Allen & Heath a little better though. Both brands would give you lots of bang for your buck for less than $100/channel. If...

I have 3 10k Raptors in my DAW. One for system and two for audio.

- If you want a really washed out effect, set the effects unit to 100% wet and solo the FX channel. :D

Cymbals vibrate differently across the cymbal. In some cases you can actually hear alot of bass coming from them. I used SM81s and Rode NT5s for close micing cymbals a while back. A 57 probably wouldn't sound great anywhere on the cymbals, but if that is all you have, try pointing it straight...
