I'm looking for a good book about acoustics for beginners. I just lack the basic knowledge and find I have to much questions and to much holes in my understanding. MrWrenchy already recommended 'Acoustic Design for the Home Studio', but when looking it up I found so much books I thought one of...

Thanks dudes. PreSonus looks nice, but thanks to the advice in another thread in the Rack forum I bought a used Tascam US-1800, looking forward to using that in a set-up with four mics in Recorderman style... I've got to try Reaper. Everyone on this forum seems to love Reaper, how is Reaper an...

I'm looking for a new interface to step up my game but reading all the nice words about the Tascam-1800, I'll try to get my hand on one. Thanks guys!

Hmm, alright. I'm trying to figure out the fitting :P with a piano, a drumkit two guitar amplifiers a bass amplifiers and room for all those players to practice this is tough. Could I do 15cm of Rockwool straight agains the wall behind my monitors? Would that work well enough? ---------- Update...

Meassuring it all up and trying to figure how I fit all my instruments and gear back in the room after the treatment I was wondering. How neccesary is the bit of insulation right behin my monitors on the attached picture? The monitors will not be blasting from that wall instead of against it...

Found it! And that didn't take long at all. He picked up this guitar in the store and new it was the one. It is the Taylor SBX-3, they do not make solid body electric guitars anymore but have made them for a while and it indeed has sustain that sounds more like a LP then a strat or telecaster...

Thanks dudes, I'll probably stick to W7 the coming time, no good experience to . David, why do you use the M-Audio 192 next to your Tascam? And what would I use SPDIF for? I have it on my Fast Track Pro, but never used it... How with the Latency? I never had any trouble with the M-Audio Fast...

I'll try it the moment I have my acoustic treatment sorted. I'll keep on looking for these interfaces, thanks for the help! Maybe keep this monitors as a distant dream...

I'm looking for an interace with more input channels to replace my M-Audio Fast Track Pro and found both the TASCAM and the M-Audio used for about 250 euros online. Is one of the two noteworthy better then the other, doesn't it matter, should I go for none of the two, should I keep saving money...

Thanks, I'll start looking for other interfaces. Are their any affordable interfaces that make it possible to lifemix different monitor groups, so I can record with my band while hearing eachother? I just read Gregs wonderful post and that left me with the following questions: How does the...

Great post, thanks a lot!

I have a not to big room, about 17 square metres, which I will be treating acoustically soon. I spared some money to spend and have about 200 euro's to spend on either Logic (right now I work with Garageband), studio monitors (right now I work with pretty decent headphones), an interface (right...

Agreed, though I'm sure I'll have a hard time if I started playing 2Bs now. The worst sticks I've every played where glow in the dark stick, which where awesome for the gig which was in a big theater in which we opened in utter darkness. They where so have and unbalanced and played rubish...

Yeah I found that working quite well, practising on thicker sticks and then finding yourself becoming faster with the lighter sticks...

Haha, thanks dude! That's enough advice to help us get further. We'll probably start with your option three, playing lot's of guitars, he needs that anyway to find out what sound/pickups or custom guitar he likes! Thanks for all the advice guys. We'll keep you updated!

Yep. Though I think that the weight of the stick is, however small, a factor in the equation of loudness. (which means the loudest drummer would drum louder with thicker sticks then with thin ones) If you want to be able to play real soft, I wouldn't recommend this in the studio but when you...

Haha, it's a bit like that I guess yes. Drummers who learned to read and drummers who where so good at listening they never had to, the rest aren't probably the ones you'd like in your band (though I'm always open to exceptions :P). I tend to teach my pupils how to listen and how to read, those...

I'd like to add that though you can play hard and soft with both thick and thin sticks, I always find that soft and subtle playing comes a bit easier with thinner sticks, while with thicker sticks playing rough comes more natural. With thin I mean 7a and with thick 5a I never play thicker or...

Haha, awesome. We live in the Netherlands, but a good guitar might be worth the drive... We'll keep it in mind, thanks for the offer anyways!

Good to know that could be a complication of my hats. I haven't spend any time in a professional studio with my kit, but good to be prepared when the time comes... I wouldn't call myself a hard hitter but others call me that so I'm not sure :D... ---------- Update ---------- I do love those...
