Hello everyone, I think that I may have been able to squeeze a few extra feet out of my parents to build this studio (including provisions to alter it in years to come...you'll see what I mean). I feel like I'm getting closer to my final design so I'm getting excited. Sorry it's kind of...

reply Try this out...you could record one track with the pickup completely, copy the track and print it to it's own track...then pan the two to 9 and three...then put a delay on one of the tracks between 8 and 35 milliseconds. Then do the same with the second acoustic part...but when you put...

reply On my strat (2001 American Deluxe) I play D'addario Chromes (flatwound)...really mellow tone that my strat needed because it was so damn bright!...ahhh...never thought of playing with flatwound guitar strings...you've never lived! As for my Taylor 310 ce I play John Pearse mediums...you...

reply Great thanks a lot...so do you have any suggestions for A/D converters? Are they expensive...would it just be cheaper to buy a digital mixer and connect to the 828 via ADAT? Thanks again.

reply Awesome thanks a lot. I appreciate the input. The only thing is...how...how do I mix my stuff on a mixer? I understand how I would track things using the mixer...ie. Mixer>MOTU828>DP...but how would I then mix the tracks on the mixer once they've been printed to the computer...will then...

reply Ok thanks a lot...So it sounds like the mixer ends up being more just something for extra inputs then?...It seems like an awful lot of money just for extra mic pre's. But if it's necesarry than I guess it's necessary. So let me get this straight. You think it's just the garageband...

Alright so here's the deal. I have a MOTU 828mkII and an apple G4 1.3 GH with 768 RAM on a DP 4.5 platform. Ok so I have been under the impression that I will need to purchase a mixer ESPECIALLY if I want to record a whole band. I was just reading about working with the 828 and a mixer. The...

mic pre Yeah chessrock I read the guys question...and then I gave him some advice on a good mic pre in the $300-$400 range. Am I missing something? And you're right recording with an amp modeler does sound like a big ass...it doesn't have any life or any umph. It just doesn't sound real. Now...

Hey guys, I'm selling my acoustic amp because it's a lot more power than I need at the moment and I need the money. This amp has under three hours of use and is in perfect working order. The only thing that isn't mint is there is a small section on the front grill about the size of a small...

Mic Pre Hey I purchased a joemeek threeq just a couple of months ago and I like it a lot. I believe I payed about $300 for it...but you can find them used on ebay for cheaper. It's a great little mic pre, it has three band eq with a sweepable mid section, and it has an optical compressor which...

I found a pair of KRK V6's on Ebay...they had a buy it now at $499. They don't look like the regular V6 series 2 monitors though they say they are b-stock. The woofer isn't yellow like the regular ones, they are black, that's the only difference I can see in them. I'm still confused though. Are...

re: 828..... Thanks a lot...yeah I have never used a mackie mixer or any mackie product at all for that matter, and I reguard them highly simply upon all of the reviews I've read on them...so you like the mic pre's on the Mackie? I wouldn't even consider a mixer unless I felt like I needed more...

I am building a studio in my garage which has a concrete floor. I have not been able to find any information about what kind of floor to build on top of the concrete. Does it even matter? There is nothing below the garage except dirt. Will the design of the floor need to be different in the...

re:828MKII & DP 4.5... anyone...please

I am running Digital Performer 4.5 on my Apple Aluminum Powerbook with a MOTU 828MKII. I am recording drums and acoustic guitar, vocals. Pretty much a full band environment...some MIDI as well. I was wondering if a mixer would help my sound. If so what mixer? I was looking at the Mackie 1642vlz...

I was looking at purchasing a pair of either KRK V4 monitors or KRK RP6 monitors. I've heard a lot about Alesis nearfield monitors and was wondering if there were any monitors that are comparable or more highly reguarded as near field monitors for under $500

response very cool thanks everyone for your help. So it would less be used as a device to master all of my stuff...but more like something to add effect to a recording and maybe add a vintage lo-fi feel to the recording. Thanks a lot. Still does anybody know anything about that particular...

So I am setting up a digital recording studio. I'm using an 828mkII and Digital Performer. I'm using a Shure KSM44, sm57's, and 58's (not a shure snob, just the way things worked out). I was previously planning on recording all digital right from tracking all the way to mixing and mastering. But...

After veiwing the poll on everybody's collection of microphones I noticed that there were few to no Shure KSM 44's in the mix. Just about everyone had at least a few Sm57's and an sm58 or two. I hear wonderful things about the 44 mic but it seems like nobody actually uses one. What's the deal...

I am fortunate enough to live in a quiet area and have a large empty garage to build a studio in. I have figured out how much of the garage space I will have available to me and have begun to design the studio layout. take a look in the attachment. I wanted to know if a triangular soundroom was...
