    Rolls HA43 Headphone Amp

    Smooth! Thanks for the review :) I was planning on buying one of these for my studio and I didnt know if it was good or bad. By line level, do you mean connecting the monitor out to the HA43?

    Acoustic guitar recording

    What microphone are you using to record? That's the #1 question. And what are you recording to?

    Recording level?

    Analog? What about analog cassette? My Tascam 688 says turn the trim till the levels average 0db and the OL light only flickers rarely...wouldn't that be too loud and cause distortion? Since it says 'averages', would it be OK if it goes into the red, ESPECIALLY with drums?

    Weezer, Counting Crows, & Jump, Little Children

    Weezer I heard some things about Weezer recording. To start off, you can take a look in the 'Blue Album' booklet to see what kinda equipment (non-recording) they used. The Pinkerton booklet has 2 pictures of them in the studio...you can't tell much from them. Anyways, as far as guitar goes, I...

    8 track digital

    Well, you COULD use more than 2 or 4 for drums...I wish I had 7 or 8 tracks in addition to my current 8 tracks specifically for drums...oh well.

    Radio-Whack Mics....Stay away from 'em!

    haha! Does anyone else think Radio Whack is really funny? Everytime I read it I laugh...I have a very dry sense of humor...I thought I'd just point out that it's funny.

    Where can I get a tape head demagnetizer?

    Guitar Center carries the Tascam head demagnetizer. zzounds.com also should.

    4 track recording

    My Tascam 688 says use C90 tapes at the most, nothing higher. And that's what I use. I also have 60 minute tapes that I'll prolly end up sticking with.

    Tascam 424MKIII...4 track mix to CD burner??

    The 424MKIII is about the best analog cassette 4 track out there. It was my first multitrack unit, and I loved it. My only gripe, it's only 4 tracks...I like having more than enough, so I got a Tascam 688 (8 track cassette), and I love it. For a beginner (or even advanced user), the 424MKIII is...

    8 track digital

    Does it HAVE to be digital? If not, look into the Tascam 688. Amazing unit, I have one, sounds excellent. Very fully featured and you can get one used (no longer made new) on ebay for less than $700 usually. If it has to be digital, take a look at the new Tascam 788.

    best compresssor?

    From what I've picked up from here, everyone hates the 3630. Everyone likes the RNC. I'm buying an RNC. You do that to. Or get the Joe Meek if you like spending more money. But I don't think I've seen a Meek compared to the RNC...anyone?

    Starting own studio

    Yes, this site is both the greatest help and the biggest wallet eater I've ever seen :) Without homerecording.com, I'd be about $2000 richer :)

    Absorbant Materials

    Hmm, alright, that can be done. Will cloth be a better absorber? I guess I can make it about 8" deep possibly.

    Absorbant Materials

    Well, I'm getting insulation for free from my drummer's dad...it's that Pink Panther stuff I believe, and I hear it rates way up there...I just need a way to..enclose it I guess.

    Magical Mystery Switch?

    I guess it all depends on the style you're into (with the Microsynth). I'm big into noise experimentation with guitars. At one point I would never even consider getting a pedal to change my sound...I'd do what I want with the guitar and amp. But I'm looking into getting a delay (most likely the...

    Absorbant Materials

    I wanna deaden the sound a bit more...I want to achieve a nice tight drum sound with not a lot of room ambience...later on I could add in a little reverb possibly.

    Absorbant Materials

    I'm planning on building some baffles using the plans in Musician's Guide to Home Recording (frame out of 2x4's, insulation inside, cork board outside). Is cork board still the best material to use for such a cause? I'm planning on making 2 baffles for mainly the drums. Plus, the room I'm...
