You're totally right. I think a bit of this thread is me procrastinating cleaning up my room n setting up the equipment. I would, however, really would like to muffle the bands thru the walls. Maybe I'll take the soft/hard layer approach that was suggested, although I'm skeptical. Especially...

My other question I forgot to ask is about instrument placement. Is it most important to find the sweet spot for drums n work from there? Is it all trial n error or in an rectangular room is there s common spot where the drums sound there best? I'll try n get off my ass n take some room...

Carpet on the walls will help with absorption, but do next to nothing for soundproofing, right?

Ya, it's a rehearsal room rental. It's not a matter of not hearing my band play. The issue is that it's hard to write new material - hear the music in yer head when there's crap music busting thru the walls. It was just wishful thinking on my part that there was some sort of solution...I kinda...

Anyone try the Novation Launchkey (either mini or 25)? Are the pads better (than the Akai)? I haven't read one positive when the Akai pads are mentioned. I have read great reviews of the unit as a whole (MPK Mini Mk2). That Beatstep unit mentioned above looks rad, but I want a key/pad combo...

Drywall, drop ceiling, cement floors. We haven't started playing yet. I'm about to setup all the equipment. Like I was saying, I have a giant problem with major sound leakage from two separate adjoining rooms. Soundproofing is so pricey that it's pretty much outta the question, especially since...

I'm about to setup my rehearsal room and i'm looking for some prepping advice. The room is basically a rectangle. The soundproofing is virtually non-existent, so it'd be WAY too expensive to start making soundproofing moves. Removing some of the undesirable frequencies would be nice. I have a...

The Beatstep looks cool. I was seriously looking at the Akai MPK Mini Mk2, but heard that it's pads r crap. It be nice to have a key/pad combo unit, like the MPK. Also, anyone familiar w/ Xpand2? I have that available for download via PT12 purchase. That has drum samples, right? It also has...

I'm selling my VDrums in favor of a Keyboard to play Virtual Drums. If I want to physically play the drums I have a Pearl kit my friend gave me. Anyways, now to my question.... I'm looking for recommendations on a keyboard to buy to perform the above task. I don't really care if it's full size...

How long ago was that (the purchase)? A thing of beauty...one day I'd like to get my hands on a pair of those and have the time of my life recording.

Right, that makes much more sense...I was wondering why it was only selling for $250 (used price on a m260).

Just incase I want to do a live recording of the band. The room isn't acoustically treated. It's a rectangular shaped rehearsal space w/ dry wall. I know that treating a spot properly can be quite pricey. Is there a cheap-o method that helps without breaking the bank? Some kind of make shift...

I wanna record some demos and I'm looking for some suggestions on a microphone to use for recording drums, using a one mic technique. I've read that a Shure SM-1 works well for this, but they can be kind of pricey. Right now my mic locker consists of a Sm57 and two MCA SPL1's. I'd like to get...

Ya, I figured I was fucked. It was worth a shot asking. The place in in has two floors. Some areas are very well sound proofed, while others like mine suck a dick. Even if I could muffle what's coming thru the wall would be nice.

I'm in a rehearsal space that has paper thin walls. There're bands on two different sides of the walls. On side is just a straight wall; the other has a wooden shelf blocking the wall. I don't have the cash to make things 100% soundproof, but there must be a cash efficient way to block out a...

Not sure if I'm posting this in the right spot, but here it goes anyways.. I just got a rehearsal room, it's in the shape of a rectangle. I'm not looking for acoustical treatment info, just placement suggestions. I.e. Are PA speakers supposed to face away or towards the drums, or is it personal...

I'm looking at audio interfaces to work w PT 11. I really want the UA Apollo Twin, but it only has 2 mic pres, which is too limiting. The Foscurite Saffire 40 has 8 mic pres and gets decent reviews, although I've seen a lot that call its mic pres boring. Anyone have any suggestions on other...

Anyone have their MCA SP1 Mocs modded? There's the Michael Joly and Microphone Parts mods. How do these compare to the Jim Williams mod? I don't have much experience w a solder gun, but the mic parts diy mod is $150 cheaper, and I have a pair I wanna mod. Thanks, Adam

I was reading the 1.38 firmware info and there's one part that suggests removing the MBox 2 .ktext extension file, reboot and reinstall PT. I deleted both the MBox2 and MBox2Boot files during this process and it still didn't work. However, after the re-install, it lists the MBox 2 driver as...

I'm checking out the extension files and noticed that there is a DigidesignMBox2.ktext as well as Digidesign.MBox2Boot.ktext. What is the Boot file for?
