    My studio under construction

    Update?? Also something to consider - if you're not concerned about noise / neighbors, you might not want to drywall and add more isolation. More mass / isolation / soundproofing causes more reflections and acoustic issues inside the room. Maybe some to shield between your control room and...

    Yeah I'm still around a little bit, I check in on here once in a while. Yeah my studio is all done but since I work from home it's really now my office too, so I have a rack network gear and servers that's bigger than my PA rack. Havent recorded anything in ages, my interface took a shit and I...

    Is a mic preamp worth it?

    THAT is the troof... "jumpy", congrats - you just won understatement-of-the-year !! I'd like to know any knowledgeable person's answer to that too. I do think it's a good-sounding unit, I use mine mainly on vox. When in doubt I err towards tracking hotter.

    Advice on Building a Computer for Recording/Production?

    Exactly! I can track 16 tracks effortlessly to a cheap 2tb 7200 RPM sata drive, newegg sells em for $100. I can write about 50 MB/sec with it. A 50 MB mono 44.1/24bit wav file is what, about 8 minutes long? So you can write 480 seconds track-seconds in 1 second. So you should be able to...

    Advice on Building a Computer for Recording/Production?

    I never said usb 2.0 is incapable of a typical HR setup, i said fw is better. There's a point in the track count, be it 24, 48, 128 or more, whatever, where fw can keep up and usb can't. "my camaro can beat a prius." "my porsche can beat it better." If fw cost double usb it might make...

    Advice on Building a Computer for Recording/Production?

    I've never heard of that being an issue unless you're trying to overclock, or shave your latency times down lower, stuff like that. IME if you leave bios timings, clock speed, voltages etc at the defaults, RAM with the right specs works fine. Ie if it posts it'll work. If you try to improve...

    Advice on Building a Computer for Recording/Production?

    why 2 hd's? For 1, it's a 2nd set of heads - when windows starts doing stuff (and it WILL, even if you uninstall AV and everything else you can think of), your 1st drive with the OS will be working on that, while your 2nd drive is unaffected and able to write tracks without contention. 2 -...

    Advice on Building a Computer for Recording/Production?

    Firewire is better than USB - firewire does stuff in hardware that usb relies on software/cpu for, so usb always uses more cpu.. A 2nd hd is nice for the space, but speed-wise, any modern hd will suffice - I've tracked 16 tracks on a crappy laptop with a 5400rpm ide drive. An i7 is more than...

    Any Linux Users in here? USB 1.0 vs 2.0?

    If that's true I can finally blow away my windows partition. I'm still dual booting, currently on ubuntu 12 dual booting to xp when I want my daw. But it's a pain in the ass cuz I work from home, and I have about 50 things to save and close whenever I want to switch, sometimes it takes a good...

    What Headphones?

    AKG K240's are about the same price and quality as the Senn HD280s. I've never had the senns but I do have 2 sets of the k240's and they sound great to me.

    newbie needs advice on acoustics and more

    I'd put em 45 degrees in the L/R corners in front of your desk if you have nothing there already. Otherwise flush on the wall at the 1st reflection points. The biggest ones would go in the corners if you have more than those 2. I have tons of crap in my mixing room, including a big vdrum kit...

    let me see your studio!

    If they vibrate against a wall while youre trying to track or mix, yeah that sux.... Stick a piece of auralex behind it, finally foam is useful for something! I have some guitars hanging on the wall and I never noticed any resonance or whatever, but I imagine room size, amount of absorption...
