    recording choir christmas musical...

    The first problem I can see is that if you are recording off the PA, to advise you we would need to know wh at the PA is bing used for. If the PA is being used for announcements and the mic or mics are not placed to optimize the sound of the choir, you will have a big poblem. Therefore, if...

    Samplers and Sample libraries

    this is a question for which the time has come. I have N EMU E6400 Ultra which has served me quite well for the most part. However, nowadays, there are some truly wonderful orchestral offerings in sample libraries. Most of them, though, seem to be geared towards Gigastudio, the defacto standard...

    Pre Sets v. Programming

    Just to reiterate a point, what is important is not necessarily the sound but the part that is played with the sound. Often, when scrolling through a sound set, you begin to hear the usual sounds suchas string like pads as being rather boring and plain. This is because the sound is being played...

    AT 40 Series

    The main reason for asking this qestion was becuase there are so many choices. Each has it proponents and each its oponents. The problem lies in the fact that it is extremely hard to demo these various modls without being able to take them home and use them for about one or two weeks on various...

    Universal Audio 2108 two channel mic pre

    I hear ya Littledog. You know, audio taste tends to be one of the most subjective things going. I once knew a guy who was extremely opinionated yet I found his choices in gear and sound quality to be suspect. To me, the stuff sounded okay but nothing to get heated about. Yet he was certain his...

    Aux Bus or unused Channel

    Tanks for the replies. The first two aux returns on the Mackie are stereo, the rest are mono. There are six altogether, however the last two are brought in by switching the controls on the second two both of which pairs are mono. The Lexicon is the culprit I would imagine becuase it can be...

    What is Propellerhead Reason and..

    Dead Poet, thanks for the reply. In the meanstwhile, I did find out pretty much what you wrote. I also believe that Reason does work with DP so I am thinking of going for it. I don't know if Recycle will work with DP or not or Rewire, that will take some checking.

    Gigastudio

    I have a mac computer which cannot run Gigastudio. I would like to use this program since so many sample collections are in that format. I have a spare PC that is probably about 500 mhz and I am not sure of the RAM but that can be upgraded if necessary. What do I need to make the program run...

    MPC2000XL Fans and Fodder

    I have been trying to find a great sample set for my MP and I keep getting half assed crap of one sort or another. I still feel rather strongly that the original sounds that came with the unit are some of the best I have, particularly cymbals. So, can ANYONE reccomend a sample set for the MP...

    Vocal mic in the $500 - $1,000.00 range

    It occurs to me that I have been asking this question in a sort of void or, that I have been asking you to aner in a void. one or the other. A seemingly helpful if not invaluable factor is the type of pre amp I have. the preamp is a Universal Audio 2-610. Also available, a dbx 376 channel strip...

    Aux Bus or unused Channel

    I am not sure of the best way to work the reverb situation I have. I have a Mackie 24/8 mixer and a Lexicon PCM 81. Aux send one to channel one of the Lexicon and aux two to channel two. The returns are to the Aux returns. Though the foregoing seems like a logical setup and works quite well...

    High-end Recording software/hardware?

    My vote goest for Digital Performer. Part of this is familiarity and I am decidedly not alone on this account. But the program is stable though I experience occasional computer freezes I have never had a serious crash where I actually lost information. The MOTU hardware is good and has gotten...

    How many recording engineers does it take to change a light bulb?

    I don't know, I'm asking you? Everyon here knows everything anyway so why would you now look here expecting an answer as opposed to the usual disertation on why the choice of light bulb is not correct, whether it should be a tube or solid state light bulb, digital or analogue light bulb...

    Know-It-All Snob Types

    A good for instance is this SweetNubs guy. I apologize for another post addressing this but this is something that truly sticks in my craw. Man, what a jerk. Even if there were the slighest bit of truth in, as was pointed out over and over, his gross generalities, it is always eaiser to be...
