    Volume prob with 1204FX

    you'd be better off to mic it or use a d/i box. these would be your best options if mike is correct.

    How much would it cost to start an indie record label?

    It will be a very expensive hobby unless you can turn a profit.

    Finding A New Audio Interface

    I honestly found the fast track pro a pain in the ass to set up but once it was up and running it worked great. My personal favorite is the tascam us-800 which I paid 150$ for and it has 6 mic/line inputs(all of which have phantom power) and it has worked great right out of the box. Allot more...

    Switching drivers to record guitar on drums

    Why not just do like chili said and use one driver or the other. Your volume issue is most likely due to using 2 different drivers, or a gain stage error.

    Drum mics

    One of the great benefits of recording drums with only four mic's is that you can get the sound you want and record other instruments at the same time. I got the cad cm217's for 50$ at GC because they were buy one get one free. I personally enjoy finding cheap mic's that sound better than your...

    Observation Shure SM57, BETA 57, and Sennheiser e906.

    I can't speak about the 906 but the e609 really isn't that great for guitars. I use it as a kick drum mic and know several people who like to use it for toms.

    Drum mics

    You can get a pretty good sound with only 4 mic's. Use the 57 on the snare and buy a senneheiser e609(100$ new) for your kick and some Cad Cm217's(50$ each new) for your overheads. just aim the overheads at the edge of the cymbals pointed at the floor tom and the other at the hi-hat. you'll have...

    Affordable Mics and Interfaces?

    Tascam us800. its costs almost the same as the fast track pro and is allot easier to use. The sound quality is about the same between the two and the tascam has 6 mic/line inputs vs. the fast track's 2 mic/line inputs.

    recording drums

    Know how to blend the individual drums together so that they function as one unit. You can't stop bleed when you record drums no matter how much gating you do(unless you use use samples). Just don't try and fight the bleed and learn to work with it. Also like everyone else here has said tune...

    what should i buy?

    I'm gonna have to agree with kidkage about the tascam us800. It works really well for the price point with better sound quality than the price implies. If you must go with one of your selections then I'd say the Zoom R16. Don't do the fast track, they're a pain in the ass to set up and get...

    I`m gonna burn down guitar center...

    The last time I went in to buy XLR cables the guy at the counter tries telling me all about the better more expensive ones. This is the point where I very bluntly told him that I don't give a damn and that I already have what I need. While this was happening his boss was behind the...

    4 Track Mic Choice

    Have you tried to remove the plastic outer case to see if it just needs a little tlc? Most amp repair people do this on the side if you don't feel comfortable doing it your self.

    G uitar without an ouput jack ground?

    Ok everyone so I just bought a 1965 Teisco MJ-2L. It has obviously been used but I only paid 40$ for it and thought I'd try and fix it up a bit and bring it back to former glory. After I opened up the body cavity everything seemed like it was in good working order(the shop I bought it from said...

    Anyone have a good vocal recipe for Reaper?

    Really what ever works I record some stuff where all I have to do is eq it and others where I use comp, verb and anything else I can think of.

    Mixing in stereo is the easy way out

    This is how I always start a recording. The only time I really use stereo is if I record something with double kick and I'm trying to make the bass stand out against it. I hear allot of metal recordings where the bass is almost inaudible because of the double kick.

    4 Track Mic Choice

    I think GC sells a 2 channel preamp that also has phantom power for 50$. Do you hear any crackling trough the mic. this could be a sign of a bad solder joint in your mixer.
