    Shure Beta 52

    I have the opportunity to get a New Beta 52 for next to nothing from a freind who bought a Mic Package. He thought the 52 wasn't included and uses a D112 for his Kick drum. I could use it (especially for the price) but I don't have any experience with one. How does it compare with the D112...

    guitar tracks

    To put tracks 1,2 & 3 down to track four you need to turn the Record Function on track 4 to Bus Right. Set Record Func on 1,2 & 3 to SAFE and pan all of those right. Put into Record and mix the three tracks. This mix is final and can't be undone if you later plan on recoding over 1-3 with...

    muddy mixing problems... help

    Starting on 4-track is the way to go. You may want to get a cheap compressor to help with your level issues. You can get a cheap Alesis or Dbx for under $100 or a stompbox for even less. A good book that helped me was THE MUSICIAN'S GUIDE TO HOME RECORDING by Mclan and Wichman. It's a little...

    guitar tracks

    I have a 424MkII. To make sure you don't have this problem use the direct feature on the RECORD FUNCTION section. This ties your channels and tracks together. Channel 1 to Track 1, 2 to 2, etc. Make sure you put the finished tracks in SAFE mode before recording the next part.

    drums

    Depending on your 4 track you may not need the extra mixer. The 424 and most other Tascams allow you to assign all inputs to the same track while monitoring the other tracks for overdubbing. But if you are going for the simultaneous tracking, then you will need the extra mixer. We used to...

    Thanks for all the help. My phantom power is working fine on my board and it turned out to be a shoody mic. No REAL surprise there. Again, I really appreciate the response, you answered a lot of the questions that I have. Mark

    Phantom Power testing.

    I have a CAD Maxcon II board with phantom power switches on each channel. The board was recently rebuilt and there is still some work left to do. I just don't know if phantom power is one of the things that still needs fixing so I was looking for some sort of test. Or, is there another way I...

    Phantom Power testing.

    I have recently purchased an Oktava 319 and wanted to give it a try. It is my first mic that requires phantom power. (long story short) I am getting no sound. I plug a dynamic into the same input and it sounds great so I know the channel is working. I have never used the phantom power on my...

    Ways to place drums mics...help needed

    Agreed. It is apparent that his forte is audio and not visual. It is best to probably copy and paste the text into a doc or txt file. Those little animation thingys can probably send most people into seizures! lol

    Class "H" Power Amp

    Hi all. I have a Soundcraftsmen PA50001A Class H power amp sitting in my closet. It was taken out of service by my 2 year old turning it on while I was out at a show with the speakers that had been connected to it. (I can't believe my son didn't remember me explaining that the amp need to have...
