definitely get a better keyboard, i'd go for s synth of some kind. then you'll have a bunch more sounds to work with too. either that or some nice soft synth/sampling software. how fast is your computer? also some good plugins would help for mixing.

I've been going over my signal chain to find any flaws and I was curious if any of you know a good way to check the quality of a signal. Sometimes when I record I feel that the dynamics aren't what they should be, or that its not as crisp as can be, but I don't know how much that has to do...

I recently had the same exact mics on my to buy list. I ended up getting the NTK which, while I just got it a few days ago, I LOVE. So I would definitely recommend it. The NT2A would be more versatile, with the multiple polar patterns, but if your mainly using it on just vocals I think the...

I just started teaching guitar and have a mid-twenties female who just started playing as a student. She is doing fantastic however in a way she is to bright for her own good. She'll ask questions about the theory I'm teaching her that I shouldn't be explaining at this stage because I'm afraid...

The reason I was leaning toward an ntk was because, until now, I have never heard anything negative said about it. Especially on vocals. I do though, have a low roll-off built into my audio interface, that would probably help any bass problems.

I was asking a fews things really... basically I wasn't sure if the tube that came with the ntk was a tube preamp, so i was wondering if you needed a pre with it, and I was also asking if, using a pre like the rnp have benefits with a tube mic like the ntk, rather than plugging straight into the...

gotcha, thanks for the tips. cause basically I'm going to get an rnp, and I've long debating which mic to get, come down to the ntk or nt2a, and I was wondering if the ntk plus rnp would be reduntant. Thanks!

this might be a dumb question... but do you generally pair a nice pre with a tube mic like the ntk for example? or does the tube take the place of the pre? in other words, the putting a pre on an ntk or t3 affect the tube in a negative way? Do you still need a pre with these mics?

I have two computers right now, a mac mini and an ibook. Yes neither are that fast, but its what I have for the moment so please no "get a powermac" posts. I use the mac mini as my main computer and I want to use the ibook to slave to a sampler or syntheziser, just to take a load off the mac...

jkokura, thanks for that advice. another question/concern I've been having about getting a tube mic like the ntk or t3 is that what difference does that make with the pre you are using? At the moment I do not have a mic pre, well except for what is on my interface. But I've pretty much...

I've thought about different audio techs in that price, but I really have never liked any that I've heard. Also, I wouldn't sell the mic if I didn't like it on just my vocals. I'm going to constantly be adding to my mic collection, and I figure if a mic has any usefulness I'll keep it.

I'm in the market for my first large condenser microphone. Right now I have only a few mics in my collection. Mainly a nice pair of josephson C42s, and an sm57. In my ongoing research through magazines, these forums, word of mouth, I've narrowed down quite a bit, but I've found a new...

Hehe, the entertainment value of this thread is gift enough! That said, who is the person who most needs the mic? I'm a young recording artist/composer. I graduated from college and I am currently trying to start off my career in music. The only problem is I do not have much equipment, and...

What do you think are the best orchestral samples on the market, in a reasonable price range? Examples: Garritan Personal Orchestra Motu Symphonic Miroslav Orchestra East/West Symphonic Orchestra

yes, same here, except when i DON'T quantize them everything sounds out of sync... I just need to play tighter i guess

do you always quantize your drums or play them in?

I've come to the point in most of my recordings that the sound and feel of my drums is by far the weakest link. The only thing is that I don't know what to do to make them sound better! I know its not the actual beat, cause when I have a real player play it it sounds fantastic. What do you do...

m-audio reminds me a lot of yamaha in the PA world. better than behringer, cheaper than mackie. its fantastic stuff for the money, but theres definitely better out there if your willing to spend.

do any of you know if it is possible to window scroll using the scrub wheel on the mackie control in pro tools? The only way I know how to scroll with it is by pressing alt and hitting the arrows but it jumps page by page which is to far.

anyone know of a place that sells long power chords 10-12 ft. that are decent quality? My left speaker power chord can't reach my furman and is picking up terrible radio signal from being in the nonconditioned power strip. Thanks
