Thanks for your reply. Good point about the style. As far as budgets go, I kinda want to be openminded so others might have an idea what a decent entry level, low mid price, midprice, high mid price and high priced Pre/comp/EQ would be. As for vocal style I am thinking your basic country, pop...

Hi, I think there's a lot of us want to build up a nice little studio for ourselves and perhaps something to earn a couple bucks on the side. I am starting out with some pretty basic, perhaps simple stuff A Mackie 802 VLZ-3 mixer (wish it had 4 instead of 3 XLR Mic pres) a 13 yr old PC...

When a thread turns gay, it's time to leave.

Nice work, Rick. The intake and exhaust plenum were something that had entered my mind for my case cabinet. My remote box is more like a 2U rack case with similar controls fed into it. Hoever, that is easy with IDE cables than the SATA cables, which as far as it's been disclosed above as have a...

Considering what you said, I consider myself a very novice studio at this point in time. I thought that I would like to do some specialised work dominating in the area of vocal(spoken or sung) /instrument (acoustic or electric) recording soloists at the beginning then up to a 5 piece band...

IMHO, this thread should become a sticky.

It probably IS all snake oil. I don't know. When I suggested the VF14 tube, I thinking about when telefunken decided to cease production. Like you, I wonder what it is about that tube that seems to make/break the value of a real U47. Granted, and I am betting there are very few 47 mics left...

While the Thermaltake product is interesting from a storage perspective, that's not quite what I am talking about. My idea would be to fabricate a 2U (maybe 3U) rack case of X depth dimensions. The face would be cut out and two 5" drive slots installed side by side. Then install 4 LED lights...

Funny you should mention bungee chords. I thought of that too. In fact I even likened the concept as being the same as with mic shockmount. Another idea would be to use bed springs. I did this with my Technics SL1200 MKII and I can jump up and down and that needle don't even care anymore...

Thank you John, these are some of the very things I looked at during my research. Your second opinion only reinforces my thought direction.

I think they're and you are right too about it not being as big an issue. What I can do is to try the methods suggested and if THAT doesn't work, then the extensions a alternate placement would be a consideration. The box makes sense but then there really is an awful lot of work involved to...

Heat is something I am concerned about too and will address. Imagine one duct (intake) that comes up and behind the case and another duct aligned with the exhaust fans routing the air out. The fans would be well away from the rear exterior panel and may incorporate a baffle design. Not sure as...

Yep. I will admit that the power supply unit (PSU) is the noisiest. More so than the fan in the front. However, it IS clean, BUT.... there is noise that reminds me of worn bearings which suggests bearing race play is out of specs. But that's not the only noise that is being picked up by the...

Anamationgirl, Are you using a desktop or laptop computer? What your audio is telling me is that you have a what sounds like a fan wind noise and that fan's bearings which sound like they may be wearing out. That's what it sounds like. I think you're hearing your computer's fan. The...

I posted this in the rack forum but got no response so... in case I posted in the wrong forum I am posting it here. I am working on a design to reduce noise caused by the computer's power supply and case fans which are amplified via the metal case. The cases are as you see in the...

Maybe this is the wrong forum.

I am working on a design to reduce noise caused by the computer's power supply and case fans which are amplified via the metal case. The cases are as you see in the picture above. They are standard 19" 4U computer cases with a front intake behind the door on the left and power supply exhaust...

It may be a reflection of the fact that I am very hard of hearing. I can hear my voice just fine. The reverb is just right for my ears, but I had wondered what others thought and if it would be too much for those with good hearing. I have bring the reverb up front in order for me to the effect I...

Well, regardless if it's a sweet lullaby or not, I personally find the subject intriguing. Not just because it about tubes, but the amazing amount of work involved in that is "hand-made" as it were. The art of fabrication and manufacturing is fast becoming lost on most Americans and the...

Let me guess, you've seen it a million times?
