The space dimensions are 21 L x 15 W x 8.75 H. So you guys are recommending placing the PA speakers facing the drums and amps at the other end of the room, right? The reason that I was thinking about setting up my equipment against the long wall is because I have a couch, cocktail table, end...

I'm trying to.figure out the best setup for my equipment in my rehersal space. Its a recragular room. Any opinions on whether I should set everything up against the longer wall...Drums in the middle, bass n guitar amps on either side of drums and pa speakers on the outside. Or drums against the...

There's just one guitar amp. Should it face the wall or away from it? It'll be a war, but i'll get the bassist to go DI. I don't have access to gobos. I do have a couple small mattresses from my sofa that I could have him huddle behind. I don't have any cash for rockwool or any real acoustical...

I have a rehearsal space roughly 21' x 15' x 8.75'. I'm recording my friend's band in the room. I haven't set anything up yet and I'm trying to figure out the best place to put the instruments. I can't figure out whether I want to put the amps by the drums or put 'em facing the corners w/ some...

I mean, the program isn't using any type of input device, right? Is it saying that any type of room of a certain size with have the same freq characteristics? I'm also having a bit of trouble understanding what exactly the results are telling me. Are the light areas the ones that should be...

I was checking this book out and the author doesn't have one nice thing to say about monitors with ports. I was planning on grabbing a pair of JBL LSR305's based on amazing reviews and several recommendations. However, they have a port on the back. Just wondering if I should take this guys...

How do you get this thing to work? Also, I'm in the crap position of only having headphones at the moment. I'm saving up for a pair of JBL LSR305's; I've only heard good things and they aren't too hard on the wallet.

Not sure if this is off topic, but how do you check for naturally occurring freq's in the room? Do you hook a mic thru a graphic eq, set all to zero and the slowly raise each freq until there's feedback? Then drop the slider down past 0 the same amount it was above when feedback occurred? I...

These two posts really helped answer my question. In the beginning of my og post, I forgot to mention that I also understand that getting it right during the tracking process and a good room/instrument sound is of paramount importance. What you taught me is that that whole sweep deal isn't done...

I understand why carving EQ holes is important. I understand that cutting out a freq can be much more beneficial than just boosting. I understand that subtle changes go a long way. The issue I'm having is executing this process. What is a good dB level to sweep at? Am I listening for background...

I've been looking into buying a Keyboard/Pad MIDI Controller to for use both as a drum trigger and for virtual instruments. I'm on a tight budget, so I've limited my search to the Mini varieties. The two that seem like the best choices (to me) are the Akai MPK Mini MK2 and Novation Launchkey...

Not sure if I'm in the right place, but I couldn't find a "Mixer" section. Anyways, I have a Mackie 1202 VLZ-PRO Mixer. One of the mic-pres only outputs sound when the trim in completely maxed. Has anyone had an issue like this or any suggestions on what to look for? Thanks.

Is there an app, for mac, that can convert .mid to .midi? I found one, but it's windows only. Thanks.

Ya, he'll hate the idea of it, but it's lookin like he's overdubbing those vox. Although Jaggar hated headphones n insisted to record live outta a PA. It gave the vox a sort of ghost like quality according to Richards. Their setup was most definitely prime tho

Will do; sweet idea.

I'm gonna be recording my friend's punk band; they wanna record live. All I have is one decent size rectangular room. I'm gonna put the amps in opposite corners, facing the walls. What type of material is good to put over the amps (to stop the sound from traveling as much)? I'm assuming a...

Hey, can anyone recommend a good site that has free plans on building studio racks? Thanks, -Adam

Haha! Luckily I got buddies in the area w/ showers. Although I have walked in on a dude bare ass naked starring at himself in the mirror...and it was at 4 in the afternoon! Ya think he'd atleast wait until the AM hours. The scars r still trying to heal from that shit show

Ya, well unfortunately for my broke ass this is my home!
