    Nady vs Behringer (I can see your faces now) mixer

    Thanks - I will consider that. Somehow I knew that the responses I got would have the word "Mackie" in them. I would like to hear from anyone who has used the Nady stuff - if they have any feedback.

    Nady vs Behringer (I can see your faces now) mixer

    I'm looking for a cheap mixer to fill in while I save for a better system. I've got a $200 cap that I am trying to stay within. I'd like something that I can use mostly in the studio, but might be capable of live work as well. I'd like to have decent mic pres, but I've got two Tube MP's and...

    Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 Hard Drive Spinning On Track

    Thanks for the input, but I don't think that's it. It's definately not the Sound Card producing the sound - it's the actual sound of the hard drive spinning. I know this because if I hit record in Cakewalk, I can here the hard drive churning - this is the exact sound that's appearing on the...

    Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 Hard Drive Spinning On Track

    I've been recording for the past few years with Cakewalk Professional 7 and recently upgraded to Pro Audio 9. My computer is a bit on the slow side (Pentium 233) and I'm using a SoundBlaster AWE 64 Gold Card, but I figured I'd take the plunge. Pro Audio 9 works, with one minor exception - when...

    best mic for the buck

    ok, I seem to be leaning towards either the Marshall 603, or a pair of the ECM8000's (since I can use them as overheads) - but I don't want to get the ECM8000's if they can't peform well on acoustic guitar... I do have 1 general question about recording with overheads - don't you tend to get to...

    that sounds pretty good those ECM8000's sound pretty good. Does anyone have a sample of these on a acoustic guitar? Thanks.

    Cheap Preamp Preference?

    trebles, I'm convinved - you must work for that company. I've seen you posting all over this place about that preamp. I've never heard of it or the company until I read your (multiple posts)... come clean! you work for them don't you! :)

    i know about behringer mixers, but...

    ...what about Nady? I was thinking of getting a small mixer to hold me over - particularly a cheaper one (under $200) - the two that I am interested in are the Behringer MX802A (I can just see the looks now) and the Nady SRM10 (or something like that) - any thoughts? Thanks.

    best mic for the buck

    hmmm... sm57 2, Marshall condensers 0... very interesting...so is this the general opinon? so if a sm57 is a better mic to go to then a condenser for an acoustic guitar, in what circumstances would you reach for the condenser? or is this just for these two particular condensers?

    thanks for the tip - I know the sm57 is great for micing amps, but I have never been two crazy about it on acoustic guitars.

    best mic for the buck

    hey everybody, I'm looking for a good condenser mic to help improve my recordings. Currently I have a Rode NT1 that I use for vocals and I am looking for another Condenser Mic at or under $100 for acoustic guitar/possible amp micing. I am not sure what's suited better for me, but the two i am...

    Monitor Alternatives

    Hey smart ass, not everyone here has hundreds of dollars to throw around or (in the case of some of the newbies) the experience to know better. That's why people post here in the first place. Obviously, monitors are better - nobody is debating that. But for the financially challenged, finding...

    Good Drum Software?!?!?!?!?!

    and one more thing... for building songs with these samples, is Acid better or Fruity better? I've never used Acid - I thought it was just for pasting loops together. Is there a cheaper version of Acid available?

    Good Drum Software?!?!?!?!?!

    wait...I'm a little lost - I thought that these were cd's of drum hits and samples? They aren't in wave format? Is it just a cd with a track for each hit? Or are they loops? The problem with chopping up loops is that it's hard to get the decay to sound natural if another drum comes in over...

    Good Drum Software?!?!?!?!?!

    Great Job... Those drum tracks sound pretty damn good to me. I've been doing the pc based drum thing for a while and these results sound passable to me. Did you order the full cd? I am thinking of getting it. WaveSurgeon is a great tool for extracting and cutting up drum samples. Anyone...

    does anyone play DeArmond?

    you lost me with that one... not sure what that last post meant. So you have a problem with getting a quality guitar at a good price? What exactly is your problem with these guitars? First you say don't buy DeArmond, then you say don't buy any guitar for over a $1000. OK - you find me a...

    Monitor Alternatives

    Are the Yorkvilles or Tannoy's shielded? The cheapest shielded monitors I've seen are the Event 20/20. They sound pretty good, to.
