There's supposed to be a freezing rain storm here tonight around midnight, and I would really like to record a few minutes of it. I'm gonna use 2 SDC to get a nice stereo sound. I was just wondering what precautions can I take to make sure that this won't be the last time I use these mics...or...

I had a similar problem with my laptop and my rokits. To fix it, I did two things: 1. (This only applies if you have a mac):download apple's CHUD tools. In the processor prefs, uncheck "Nap". That will get rid of your squeal. 2. If you are using a firewire interface, try to get your power...

Thanks for all the replies! this is why i love this board, people are always willing to help. When i first started the mixdown, I was monitoring with digital reference cans (I know, i know...) b/c I couldn't afford monitors at the time. however, I just bought a pair of krk rp5s. This is when i...

For the past few months, i've been going on this forum, taking as much advice as i could. Practically everything i've bought for my home "studio" has been because of what people have said on here. After months of practicing, I finally recorded and mixed an entire song from my band. I was a...

Thanks for the replies! i'll probably be buying some nice cables soon (the wires have been exposed in the cables i have now...i'm no expert, but i'm sure that's not good for the sound). Plus, i also found out most of the noise is coming from my powerbook...turns out a lot of people have this...

btw, the cables i'm using aren't anything special. They say "Proformance" on the side.

Hey All, I tried searching for an answer on the forums, but nothing really answered my question. I just got a pair of Rokit RP5s. They are running out from an Edirol FA-101 firewire interface which is connected to the FW400 port on my Powerbook G4. Now, when they are on, both speakers emit a...

ahh, good to know. It's been a while since I've used it. Does it all have the basic features of a DAW (able to multitrack w/ a signifiicant amount of tracks, plugins, compressors, etc.) Also, what about Logic Express? I read that it can produce loops, but i'm not entirely sure if it's the same...

First of all, Happy Holidays everyone! This question is directly related to what I found under the xmas tree this morning :) I'm looking for a program that will let me make loops and beats (like Fruity Loops) with my new MIDI keyboard that will also let me record my drumset, guitars, etc...

newb question I have a sm57 that i use to record my 2x12. However, the sound, whether clean or distorted, is very thin. I was wondering if this was due to my placement (i've tried moving it around in all directions) or the preamp (just plugging it directly to my edirol fa 101 preamp. Everyone...

thanks guys, you've helped a lot. the VST performance meter goes up to halfway when the project is open, with nothing playing. once i hit the play button, forget it, that red max light just blinks forever. i tried bouncing some tracks around, but still have the problem. i may go out and get some...

thanks for the replies. I'm running OSX Panther. The problem dimishes once i deactivate the reverb. If it is the HD, I don't think it's (easily) possible to replace the one in the laptop...any external ones that could handle it? I'm already using both my usb2.0 ports (printer and mouse/keyboard)...

whoops, didn't mean to leave that out. I have a 256mb. I just got the computer in August.

yes, sorry, I am talking about electrics. Thanks for the info!

I have a powerbook G4 1.33ghz laptop. I'm running Cubase on it. It used to run fine, but now i have about 30 tracks with effects on each and whenever i play, every 2 seconds, the audio drops out for a few seconds...it's come to the point where I can't even mix now. This may be a stupid question...

I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for any information on making one's own guitar. I searched the forums, but didn't find anything. Obviously, this isn't something i'm going to undertake right away, but I want to get as much information as I can so I can start...

Thanks for all the replies. I have a 2x12 right now, but it just doesn't overpower my extremely loud drummer without distorting a bit. Plus, i play a lot of festivals that don't have a PA. I was thinking maybe an ampstand might help the situation more though to help get the sound off the...

Hey all, I'm looking to buy a halfstack for $500...any suggestions? I was looking at Crate b/c they're halfstacks are pretty cheap, but i'm thinking i may just spring for a marshall b/c i've heard they're very reliable...i think that's an extra $150. I just spent a lot of money on some new...

I've been recording my drums for a while now, but I can't get the toms to sound good. Maybe it's because I don't have any mics on them :) I was wondering if you guys could help me out with a new setup w/o having to buy new mics. Right now i have a couple of mxl603's as OH. I have a sm57 on the...

the only one i know if is the guitar center near union square. they have some neumans there, but i'm not sure if they'll let you demo them out. I've only been there once, i was wondering the same question though...
