    DMT8VL SCSI interface

    Sorry don't know.... The Dmt8vl is an older discontinued unit, It may be hard to get any response from Fostex, since they have now produced quite a few generations of products that have SCSI built in, and it may just not be worth the time or money to modify... Just my oppinion; Dom Franco

    Grand Piano Miking

    Point made, Point Taken But... Experimentation leads to great discoveries. There is no better method than using your ears to judge. Classical instruments, Pianos, chamber groups, choirs, string quartets etc. often benefit from room ambience, rather than close microphone techniques. Perhaps a...

    Grand Piano Miking

    For a nice stereo piano sound.... For a nice stereo piano sound try using your two best mics (Condensors) one just about ear level with the pianist but in out front of the open cover about 1 foot away, and the second mic 8 to 12 feet away for room sounds and ambience. This is a more natural...

    Mixing help with DMTV8L

    ? Be sure to only activate one track record ready button at a time. It sounds like you have all eight buttons pushed in? Do you have the manual? Also keep all the other faders down while monitoring and recording only one track at a time, if you have the switch playing back a track it will...

    How do you pan?

    Panning for GOLD! I like to pan similar instruments away from each other, so they will have their own place in the mix. FOR EXAMPLE: Acoustic guitar left and Electric guitar right. Piano left and Organ right. I always keep bass and lead vocals center. Drums in stereo left and right or if...

    Vocal Clarity

    Singer/Strummer Separation

    or you could.... Have him play an electric guitar through an acoustic simulator, and send the direct signal to his headphones. This will be much less noticable on the vocal track. It may sound great, or you could over dub the acoustic later,\. Dom:p

    Bluegrass rules ;-)

    BLUEGRASS? I don't have any particular suggestions, but it's refreshing to hear that some one out there likes bluegrass besides me! Try listening to some CD's that you like through your mixer and playback system, then match your levels and EQ as much as possible. Dom Franco:p

    Ok don't make fun of me, but how you guys get pictures of your studios to show up in your threads? I'm pretty clueless when it comes to computers so explain it to me step by step. I tried to attach something to an e-mail once and the duct tape got the computer screen all sticky! I want to...

    what effect does baffling have?

    This baffles me! Baffles are most often used to keep one instrument from bleeding into another instrument's microphone during a "live" recording where two or more parts are being played in the same room. Baffles are also used to make a "dead" space in an otherwise "Live" (Reflective) room...
