Hi! Help! I usually use Calkwalk X2 for editing, not recording (I record on a Tascam DP24), however my band has an opportunity to record in a beautiful theater, so wanted to step up our game. I found us a used Tascam-1641 16ch interface so I can record 16 (14 actually as I learned) tracks, but...

Hmmm....Simman, that does look fun. I can solder and do like little projects. That's a great idea! Thanks for the link. I don't know if it'll ever make it into my rack, but it looks like a fun in the meantime.

Boulder, the dbx would probably my 1st choice if I could find one for less than $100. ido, Are you saying you like the Rolls? Are you correcting me by adding the "GLC"? Do you just like saying it? Did you mean to say more?

Ya know, I'm totally on the fence about the MXR. I love their sound and their simplicity, but I'm nervous to put all my eggs in such a simple basket. Am I crazy for wanting a limiter? I'm nervous to have such little control over my sound as the MXR offers. Does anyone know anything about the...

I'm looking for a compressor/limiter for bass guitar for around $80. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Does the Roland VS2480 have 16 XLR ins? It looks like it has only 8. I'm looking for at least 12. Does the Presonus require a computer to record? I don't believe it has any onboard storage. I'd prefer SD card, but any onboard storage would be great. We're trying...

Thanks for the input guys! You're definitely helping to rebuild my confidence in the 58. I read a quote in here a while ago, something like "Every mic is the perfect mic, until you've used it for too long." We're at that stage, but we don't have the confidence to invest in something we haven't...

Someone needs to start a business of driving a truck full of mics to people studios, giving them the opportunity to try the mic before they pick one. In the meantime, I'd love some suggestions..... I have a gritty rock band, we record 'live' and we're looking to possibly upgrade a few mics...

Thanks to a few upcoming gigs, my band has decided to look into upgrading our hardware. I feel like our needs are fairly unique (just like everyone else) so I'd like some advice. Currently, we're using a Yamaha 02R (got it used from a friend) and a Tascam DP-24. Between the two of them, I've...

Thanks Mixsit, I'll give it a try!

I record my band bring the tracks back here to mix them in X2. I record 8 tracks (vocal, harp, guitar, bass, kick, snare, OH1, and OH2). I'm hoping to create a template, but not just a template, a total template in X2 to save time setting up my session. Right now I have a template that I open...

Groovy, thanks everyone. Sounds like my suspicions were true. How about mastering? Does a big, graphic come in more handy there or still just as antiquated.

Years ago I was 'helping' a pro audio team set up for a festival. They were using a huge, bazillion band crossover and rolling individual frequencies out to reduce/eliminate feedback etc as part of the normal set up....long before the performer came out to sound check. At the time I was very...

Offset mode huh? I'll give that a go. Thanks!

Awesome perspective everyone! Thanks for the insight!

Great stuff guys!! I'm getting the impression that nobody is really against close micing toms. It makes sense to me. I'll throw another challenge into the works. I only have 4 tracks available for the kit (after grouping/routing). The kick stands alone. I don't want to group the overheads...

That's exactly what I was thinking. He's the most experienced person I know personally, and he's always happy to talk technique, but I think he's so comfortable in his big theater with a state-of-the-art board and high end mics that he can't always relate to the little guy. How do fix phase...

1st off, I'm in the "micing" camp, not "miking". I know a professional engineer (live sound mostly, I don't think he does any recording) who staunchly believes that you never need more than 4 mics on a drum kit. I'm recording 'live' in a small room with 4 mics on the kit. I'm having a hard...

Cool, thanks. I like that idea of saving before you automate. That's experience talking.

I apologize if this a mixing 101, but is it possible to override automation? I find that after I get everything automated the way I want and listen to the mix through the limiter, I generally want to make subtle changes to a track volume. However, I can't slide my fader up once I've created some...
