Hey Guys. Im looking for a portable USB interface to plug into a laptop. Im just getting into location sound recording and rather than going to a DAT system, Ive been thinking of using a laptop. Im looking for a USB interface that will give me 2 Balanced inputs that doesn;t require its own...

I've been using an AKG D550 for standard bass drum duties for a while now. I'm pretty happy with the response, especially if you get it up close. I think in Aussie bucks you would be looking at about 150, but not too many retailers have them, indeed not many people seem to mention this mic at...

I keep a pair of Rode Nt3's on the stands, as they are generally setup as overheads. When not in use I put the little zipper bag over it and zip it up as far as it will go. I don't have much of a problem with humidity. -Dr_S

I got my B1 shipped in from the states shortly after they were released. even though shipping was extortion(35 USD), it ended up being 205 Australian. This is months before they were available over here and it still cost me less than what the street value seems to be now. It just comes down to...

once miced up a radiator, the percussionist dragged a mallet back and forth on it to create a sound like a gwiro. (in the same seesion we accidentally taped over half a guitar track with a keyboard, but for some reason decided it sounded better that way.

Im recording music for a childrens T V show. We written and recorded the music, and its time for the actors to come in and sing. not only are they tone deaf, but they arrive drinking beer. one of them keeps grabbing the mic stand and trying to sing like he's axl rose. anyway, we're in the...

The standard shotguns mic's that most people I know use are the sennheiser 416 and 816. I've used the K6 system before, which is fairly good, its essentially a powered unit that you can attach different capsules to, so you can change it to a omni or hypercardioid or several different patterns...

I haven't done a lot of vocal recording, but the last lot I did I forgot my headphones. I ended up hooking up a PA speaker, and pointed that the singers. They faced the speaker, and the mics therefore faced away from it. I ended up with only the smallest amount of bleed, which really didn't...

I've got a pair of NT3's which I love, I use them for everything from overheads to guitar amps, and Im always happy. Im thinking of adding a pair of 603's to have another flavour though. -Dr S.

I've been recording music for a childrens TV project, and we started recording acoustic guitar tracks the other day. We were also using a washburn D10, but with a pickup inside. we ended running the pickups output to a fender keyboard amp, and recorded that with the B1. it sounded absolutely...

How would you guys go about miking up a combo amp with a 12inch driver and a horn? Its a Fender KXR 100, which sounds great running a guitar through. I usually place a Studio Projects B1 about a foot in front, and Im fairly happy with the sound, it picks up the sound from the horn and the...

I've just finished my uni degree and spent the whole last year working with the uni radio station. Before I'd been there, they had been using Behringer Dynamics as part of the feild recording kits, but they recently swapped over to the Sony Stereo mics. Everyone used to rave about the sound...

Hey guys, I've been in the market for DI, but seeing as I don't have any outboard preamps (using the ones in my TASCAM m312), I was wondering is it going to be better to buy a mic preamp with a DI, such as the VTB1? I've read its not the best DI at that price, but I'd like to have the...

I've got a pair of Rode NT3's. I initially used them for drum overheads, but I find my self reaching for them more and more. Really great sound on guitar cabs and acoustics. I was in a studio the other day and they miked up my glockenspeil with a pair of NT2's. I was stunned at how good they...

Even if you level off the settings on your JBL speakers, it doen't mean you are going to get a flat response. The room you are putting those speakers into is going to change the way they sound, those controls are basically there to help level the way they will sound in a particular room. You...

Hey there guys. I've been looking at adding another LD condensor to my home studio, and was considering a RODE NT2 or NT 1000. I was in a studio the other day recording the soundtrack to a film, and they used a pair of NT2's on a glockenspeil and it sounded absolutely fantastic, however, it...

I've just stepped up to a multi input box, and Im having problems... When I go to record I've got everything hooked up, but only channels 1,2,5 and 6 are getting any levels. I've checked cabling and switched it all around, and tried direct inputing a line level source, but the soundcards mixer...

The D880 is a pretty good mic for the price. in terms of which gives the salesman more dollars in his pocket, my work sells the AKG, and theres not a huge amount of profit in them. By unscrewing the cap and taking out the pop filter, the mic sounds fantastic on female vocals. leaving it in...

the shipping was quoted to me at 12 - 25 US... the last time I ordered DVDs from amazon shipping was 30 bucks, and that package should be the same size/ weight...

Hey guys. Im a perthite as well, and I just ordered a Studio Projects B1. they are retailing for 349 here... so for 79 US plus shipping, it should run me hopefully around 200 bucks. Ive ordered a few things across the net before, and haven't had problems yet, If I have problems I'll post...
