Example: say you have guitar, mics, and other routed to your sound cards input.You probably want to monitor these live inputs through your audio software.You...

    compression question

    The statement above is very accurate.We try to avoid using compression because it does tend to take away from the dynamics. We have learned to record in a manner that we only have to use a very minimal amount of compression during the mixdown. But from time to time you're going to have that out...

    mixers for my friend the adat.

    Mackie is a very good mixer in that price range.You should be able to purchase a 16 channel for that price, but I would recommend getting the 24 ch. 8 bus.Cost???I think between 2000.00 and 2500.00.Maybe cheaper by now.Its worth it cause you gonna want more.The extra eight channels also allows...

    Drum Machine/Chicken or the Egg

Yea, there's nothing like having a real drummer with real mikes as far as quality is concerned but it can be a bit expensive to do it that way.Actually a large percentage of hits out there today are using drum machines in thier productions.It takes time to learn to use a drum...

We have one but we don't use it...

    mic question

    I agree with the statement above. SM 58 is a good all purpose mike with many applications.We use them live and in the studio.But if your willing to spend a little more the Equitek CAD mikes (E-100-200) have proven to us that they are good mikes for the money. Bill/L&M Richmond Va.

It has +48 v that you are looking for and its also a tube pre-amp which gives a really warm sound especially with vocals.It has two analog meters whick makes its very easy to view from a distance and the best thing is...

    LOW END IN CONTROL ROOM

    In our control room we have to mix by guessing alot at where the low end should be. The low end sounds fine in the control room but once we put it to CD and play it on another system, the low end is over welming. We have learned to use the RTA when going to DAT which has made it a little...
