Is that you, Frank??? Don't see many V123 users over here at the HR BBS! For what we're doing, there are sometimes as many opinions on which is the best combo as there are combo's to begin with! I think it depends greatly on your room, your voice, your budget, and your technique. It also...

Funny you ask... since my last response, someone on a voiceover board I belong to was raving about these - he picked up the U-42s model and really liked the preamps - enough to not use his regular outboard pre at all.

With a proper soundcard/interface, the audio quality will greatly improve. However, you still need to follow good practice and set proper levels on the way in. I'm sure Glen won't mind me giving a plug for his site: http://www.independentrecording.net/irn/. Click on the "resources" link -...

Recording MIDI is simply capturing the note data from the drum module - the note you played, how hard, etc. MIDI is not transmitting any of the audio from the TD-6v to your DAW. You have a couple of options. The first, and easiest, would be to simply run the stereo output of the Roland to two...

The power issue is only part of the equation. You would still need to amplify the signal and perform a quality A/D conversion. That's where the combo preamp/interface comes in. I would be a little leery of the gooseneck microphones. They're not really designed for what you're after. If you...

There are a couple different options. Dell makes simple VGA-monitor splitters that will simply send the same signal to two different monitors. There's also a product out there from Matrox called the Dual Head 2 Go: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/dh2go/ It's an alternative to a...

:) Nobody said this was a cheap hobby. :) On a more serious note, you can still do well on a modest budget. Have a look for one of these: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=571273&Q=&is=REG&A=details or these...

Nick, That is one great looking drum room. Great stuff & well done!

I would also suggest that before you start placing the panels, gobo's, etc. around the room, invest a few dollars in Rod Gervais' book Home Recording Studio: Build it Like the Pro's and/or Mitch Gallagher's Acoustic Design for the Home Studio. I'm partial to Rod's book, in part because he's a...

Just a thought... I used foam-core board (from an art supply store) as a support backing for some acoustic panels I made a couple months ago. The 3/8" foam board is stiff enough to hold shape, but very light and very inexpensive. It's also very easy to attach acoustic foam with a little spray...

Just to clarify, you may or may not need to power the microphone (more on this in a second), but you need to amplify the microphone's signal. This is what a preamp does. A clarification to the comment above that you would need both an interface and a preamp - most entry-level USB interfaces on...

As you have quite a bit of foam (of a decent thickness) lying around, you could absolutely make some "panels" out of them. Rigid fiberglass would be preferrable, it seems like the objective here is to make do with what you've already got (which I absolutely understand! :D ). I would stay away...

There's a lot more that goes into it than just the dimensions... Properly treated, small rooms can sound fine. Poorly treated, large rooms can sound terrible. Here's a photo of Nick Lachey's home studio - his vocal booth is 4'x6': If you can't fit comfortably in the closet area, I'd...

I may be overstating the obvious here, but: * You have a big room for mixing, and seem to just want to have an area where someone can perform vocals without being in that same big room where the console is. I'm not calling it a "booth;" just a portion of the room that is somewhat distinguished...

Well, going V-Drums would set you back about your entire budget. You might look into ClearSonic... http://www.clearsonic.com/IsoPacs.htm. There's another company out there that makes a similar product, but I can't recall their name at the moment. If you're just focusing on controlling the...

:D Lucky he didn't see this picture: Telefunken ELA-M 250... happy bankruptcy.

Did you watch the whole thing? To me, it wasn't about the sound quality of the "intro" guy, but jeez - there's got to be about 20 different musicians playing on that thing all recorded one at a time... each one adding their little "thing." It just blew me away.

Wasn't sure where else this would fit... what an amazing piece of field recording, and what an endeavor of engineering: http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2539741

Congrats, Jen - well deserved!
