this is debatable. "sound quality from your computer" is a vague statement. are we talking 16-bit digital audio here? 24-bit? what about sampling rate? 44.1? 88.2? 192? do you have decent AD/DA converters? the OP is gonna have to be more specific about what they mean by "sound quality", but I...

I just tracked a project at 24/88.2, first time I've went higher than 48Khz. first think I noticed is that I can't run nearly as many plugs, which is probably a good thing... This project is turning out to be the most "hi-fi" sounding thing I have tracked so far. i'm not sure if that is...

well the dropouts are a noticeable problem, an occasional half dB swing/wobble when I playback the 12kHz test tone is not such a big deal. I guess I wouldn't mind getting all these little bugs fixed though... what do you think a little wobble on the VU meters on the outer tracks is caused by?

The SP C3 in my post above is an LDC. I used to use it as a mono overhead before I had other options. The Oktava sounds better, and I have used a pair of my buddy's Rode NT5s which sounded much better too IMO. The stereo image created by a matched pair may also be swaying my perception of...

I'll admit, I have little to no experience with amp sims. but I find it hard to believe that any amp sim can compare to a decent mic'ed amp. I have never had trouble getting decent guitar sound when I recorded my own guitar, even back in my cassette portastudio days. Granted, I have always had...

I have been tracking drums with a Studio Projects C3 and an Oktava MK-012 with Glyn Johns technique, so kinda similar to recorderman. It sounds... I dunno, maybe a little weird. the C3 is not an ideal overhead mic, it might work better with two mics that are more closely matched, however I...

aw man, I have been trying to find those Nirvana multitracks! can you hook me up?

I guess that makes sense. thanks.

yeah its 4 x 16 ohm speakers. so ya think its two pair wired in parallel, and then each pair wired in series? and thats a 16 ohm load total? OK thanks.

So I threw a couple new Celestion G10s in my Peavey Classic 410. got the speakers installed and wired up just fine, but when I plugged the cable back into the amp, there was an input for both 8 ohm and 16 ohm loads, and I can't remember which one the cable was plugged into... I am a moron when...

hmm... no, the heads don't look too bad to me, the wear looks even. They were re-lapped by JRF at some point before I got the machine, dunno exactly how long ago that was though. the outer tracks are a bit more wobbly, especially the high end. once you get up around a 10k test tone, I start to...

been putting this deck through its paces, mainly tracking drums and guitar (live) as front end for a DAW. a couple of times, I have wanted to punch in and fix guitar parts, but i have haven't been able to get a clean punch out. I can get in clean, but you always here the overdub getting punched...

so I got my nady ribbon last friday and tried it out on a band I was recording over the weekend... what gives? it was SOOOOOO dark! I had it on a guitar cab along with an i5, and so I could A/B the sound... it was so dark that it wasn't even usable. Is it possible something is wrong with it?

yeah its the streaming stuff that sounds crap. uploading the highest bitrate possible seems to help a bit....

I couldn't figure out how to monitor the input signal. maybe I'm just an idiot.

I have messed around with some of the Waves stuff... the SSL bundle didn't impress me. the metering on the buss comp was weird (or at least I couldn't figure it out), and it didn't sound particularly fantastic or special enough to justify the price. I dunno, maybe thats just me. these days I...

I don't have much experience with the Shure SM81, but the Oktava is a recent addition to my collection... I did think that these mics were in the same ballpark, at least they are relatively close in terms of cost. and the Oktava is usually touted as a great "bang for the buck" mic, so that led...

yeah, definitely try the dbx noise reduction to reduce tape hiss. make sure you use it for BOTH recording and playback (its an encode/decode process so it won't work correctly if you use it on just one or the other). print as hot as you can without getting audible distortion in order to keep...

to make things more complicated... I got my Nady ribbon mic today. what do you think of throwing that over the fl tom in a Glyn Johns set up? I'm wondering about how the figure 8 pattern will work in my less than ideal/sort of treated/kinda dead-sounding basement? Only one way to find out I...

just realized this maybe belonged in the recording forum, but oh well... anyway... I am doing some tracking this weekend. I got my buddy's Rode NT5s (matched pair), a new (to me) Oktava MK-012, an assortment of SM57s, and audix i5, and a Studio Projects C3... I was gonna mic up the kit using...
