    Should I Get A SM7b Or A RE20?

    You will then have 3 EV mics, and EV mics have a very characteristic "EV Sound" to them. And you won't know that you have that characteristic EV sound in all of your mic tracks until you get a good mic that isn't an EV, and record and compare side by side. In the tiny realm of my experience, ALL...

    Mesa Mini Rectifier -> 2 different speaker 1x12 cabinets

    Yup, it happens. That's why the first suggestion is to have a sound guy make a custom Y cable. Or purchase the speaker jacks from the sound guy and makeyour own box by drilling your own holes, doing your own soldering, and using 18 or 16 gauge wire. Then those problems you describe should...

    Mesa Mini Rectifier -> 2 different speaker 1x12 cabinets

    Just use a Y cable......single male jack into the 4 ohm output, Y on the other end, one to each speaker. Just make sure it's speaker Y cable and not instrument cable. You will probably need to go to a local PA Sound guy and have him make you a Y cable for this, they don't usually sell them off...

    Reaper (Volume issue)

    Audacity doesn't have anything to do with it. Leave it there, it's useful for other things. Doing any half way serious recording by using the stock soundcard and windows audio is just asking for trouble. (no offense) Get a dedicated sound card that uses ASIO drivers, and disable the stock or...

    Anyone know what's wrong with my amp?

    I, too, have settled on Tung Sol tubes. But my amp called for Svetlana power tubes, and I found a pair, so I bought them. I agree with the tube sentiments expressed above. Yup, if that's a 1968 amp, that's 45 years old. It's definitely a good thing to have a tech go over it (if he's good, like...

    Great Advice for Those Starting Out...

    I get that too..... ME: "Here's a new song. I did everything myself, wrote it, played all the guitars, bass, vocals, pianos, solos, programmed the drums, recorded it and mixed it myself, and burned it to cd so you could hear it." THEM: "So you can't actually play the drums?"

    REALLY Basic Recording Question

    Which mics? You can almost completely control how much room reverb gets recorded by mic selection and mic placement. If you have a figure 8 pattern in one of those mics, I'd be tempted to try one take using a Mid-Side technique. You'll get a much better representation of the placement of the...

    Should I still invest in SM57s??

    Because today's SM57 is riding on the laurels of yesterdays SM57 Unidyne.

    DIYer's what are you using for mastering.

    Which version? I think I have WLE6 and it does not burn cd's. I was hoping Wavosaur would burn so I could abandon WL (I am no fan of anything Steinberg) but it won't do it either.

    Your Opinion On Amp Sims

    Why not just get a Vox AD15 and have it both ways.......it's basically an amp sim box with a small single-tube amp and speaker built in. How many PODs come with their own amp and speaker? And it's probably cheaper than a lot of those PODs too. On the other hand, it's fun messing aroudn with a...

    Should I still invest in SM57s??

    EV BK-1 is a much better mic, but yes SM57's have their place and they are good, much better than the budget chinese crap out there.

    Begginer at Voice recording

    Not necessarily, no. But with just doing voice overs, my opinion is you dont need condensor mic quality, you need versatility, and a small mixer will give you that. What if you want to record an interview? Or have a singer perform a live song with an acoustic guitar? The pros doing voice overs...

    Just starting out, need help

    Reaper Heil mics are always over looked and under appreciated. The major difference between an expensive interface and a budget mixer is the interface will let you record multiple sources at once and route each source to an individual track in your software. A mixer will only (usually) let...

    Basic Setup for Brass Recordings

    Reaper is freeware, and very powerful and easy to use. It's fully featured and free, the only thing you don't get is updates or upgrades. It's a $60 dollar license for that. Heil makes by far the best budget microphones. For music I would suggest nothing less than the PR20, but even a Handi...
