Monitors.

I haven't noticed any boxiness, what I'm getting is a nice clear recording with no room noise. I'm quite happy with the end results I'm getting. I know my recording rig really looks half azzed, but it does the job for me. For a home studio, I'm getting really nice results with the tests I've...

Well with my little recording setup, I use Auralex and shipping blankets. What I found was I could scream into it and I would get no reflections at all. The Auralex just soaks up the sound. You can hear the lack of sound. What I'm surprised about with Dr. Luke's tent is that he uses that instead...

That's funny, he's got a million dollar studio and sets up a tent with blankets !!!!!

Apparently I was given some bad information. I checked the Focusrite website and found that the Scarlett does indeed have a USB 2.0 port.

I'm very happy with my Focusrite 18i8.

Well I did a lot of research lately concerning vocal mics and I ended up buying the Shure SM7b. I knew up front it was a quiet mic and needed to be boosted. It was recommended to me to get a CloudLifter CL-1 inline mic booster that would boost the signal 25db. Once I did that the SM7b came right...

When I installed my 18i8 I had problems too. Sonar wouldn't recognize the 18i8. Eventually I determined it was a driver problem. I was running ASIO4ALL and tried un-installing it then re set Sonar to ASIO drivers in Sonar. Worked like a charm and has been working perfectly ever since. My advice...

Nope way out of my budget. I did settle for two Neumann TLM 102's I got used off of eBay. So far I'm very happy with them, and they satisfy that Neumann craving. Even though they are entry level Neumanns, they still sound great to me. They were designed with the home studio in mind....tada, I...

I just bought a pair of the Yamaha HS8's. I searched the internet for reviews about many types of monitors and the HS8's came out on top in my due diligence. MIX Magazine gives them a glowing rave review. They're recommended for mixing. They are built like a tank. My 23 year old NS-10's needed...

I had a similar problem, I solved it by buying a Phantom Power Supply for about $25 bucks. It's a little box that connects inline with your mic. It has XLR input and output. You can find them at eBay and possibly Musician's Friend or Sweetwater. It worked out fine for me.

I also would recommend the MXL 603s . I recently did a sound comparison between all my mics and I have a pair of the 603s's and they compared very well to the rest of my mics in the test. I was very pleasantly surprised on how well they sounded. I also have been upgrading my collection of...

Thanks for posting this video. Currently I'm also engaged in experimenting with mic an acoustic guitar with various mics and positions. So this video was right up my alley. Here's a quick demo of my latest experiment with a brand new updated AKG C-1000S mic on a Martin D-18....the mic is simply...

My AKG C-1000S arrived today !! Oh ya, it's brand new in a factory sealed box !!!!!! Works like a charm !! $99 bucks, can't beat it. :)

Well for me it's easier to play and sing at the same time, because that's what I do when I'm playing out live. I've practiced my songs playing and singing so that's what's natural for me. Keeping my mouth shut while laying down a guitar track would feel unnatural for me. As far as doing...

Well I want three mics for mixing. One for vocals and two on the guitar with about 12" separation. This gives me two distinct guitar sounds which I can blend during the mixing process. One mic is positioned at the 12th fret of the guitar, while the other is positioned by the sound hole of the...

I took down all the previous test tracks because they sucked. Here's a new test track with just the 2-Neumann TLM-102's. New strings on the guitar, new XLR cables...different settings on the interface...sounds much better.... MP3 Player SoundClick

Well I received my new XLR cables, they're very nice. look like they are heavy duty with 16 gauge wire. Very fast shipping !!
