My DPS16 isn't nearly as loud as my computer. I don't have an omni pattern condensor or anything (I use an AT 4033), but is it really that big a problem? Personally, if I were recording whispering vocals, I wouldn't use an omni pattern. Problem solved?

I'm not sure about the BR 8, but with most multitrackers you can use as many inputs as the box has to record several sources to a stereo mix. You'll have to check your manual, but it'll open up some possibilities. The only drawback to this approach is that you cannot adjust individual mic...

Well, I wasn't gonna post in this topic for fear I'd have to put Bon Jovi down as one of my tops. I really dislike the band, but I think he's got an awesome voice when he lays off the rock-star rasp a little bit. Range, clarity... other favs: Thom Yorke Jeremy Enigk John Lennon...

Let me see if I understand what you're saying... My guess is that the y cable is going into your computer soundcard (soundblaster?). You're panning so that your software records the close mic on one track and the ceiling mic on another. Soundcard mixer control is set to dual mono (recording...

Hey Ed thanks for posting that link. I was going to post it but I couldn't find it. Had to clear my history folder so the fiancee can remain oblivious to my appetite for internet porn :D When I thanked Shailat for the article, he said I should thank you for you part in it. But I'm not going...

I ought to post a picture of my homegrown pop-filter. Its sooo damn sweet. I used ample amounts of coat hanger, an adjustable lamp arm, some duct tape, a hoop, and panty hose. Like dobro, I use a hose clamp around an aluminum sleeve to attach it to my mic stand. It is fully adjustable to work...

Dobro, You can bounce any number of the tracks to a stereo pair for playback (or mono). The nice thing about that is that you can move the original unmixed tracks into virtual tracks so that you can remix if, say, the snare needs to come up a bit from your submix. An outboard SCSI CDRW can be...

Sondriven, Here's how I've been thinking of getting around that. Mind you, I'm new to digital and might find that some of my plans don't work, and I haven't really started to research this, but I'll throw this out anyway. Thinking of buying a new soundcard with S/PDIF in. Then I could record...

I guess I'm a pack rat, but have a box with about 15 non-functioning guitar cables in it. I also have a voltmeter, a soldering iron, and a shortage of properly working cables. Question is: How do I check to see if the length of cable is still good? If its in the jacks, is it usually a bad...

Similar thing hapened to me once. I was just throwing together a quick take of an acoustic tune for my ears only. I used a 58 for vox and my soundhole pickup for guitar. Presumably because I was being careless about the set-up my mic picked up way more guitar than usual. I just brought up...

The process I explained is mixing down to cassette. There's no need for a step in between. You use the mixer of the tascam to send out a stereo signal comprised of all 4 tracks to be captured on the mixdown (final) cassette. Again check the switch in the rear of the tascam to make sure its...

Really briefly, here's how to do it- Set your source switches on each channel strip to the middle "tape" position Make sure the switch on the back is set to "line out" RCA out from tascam to input of mixdown deck mix levels, eq, pan tracks to taste Mixdown deck in record ready, play tascam...

I'm sure somebody on here uses the D16, I just don't remember who. I'm a DSP user myself. Not that this should have too much influence over your selection, but there were two things that kept me from the Korg: Only 4 tracks simultaneous recording Touch-screen menu controls I think lots of...

Thats the problem with that great stuff. If you buy the kind that doesn't expand so much, it gets crumbly and falls apart soon after it dries. As Kahuna's experience would confirm, the ulta expanding kind could conceivably pull the fasteners right out of your tin roof if you're not careful...

Actually Barto you might try turning the distortion down. Too much of a fuzzy kind of distortion has, in my experience, rarely transferred well to tape. Seems to tighten up if I lay off it a bit. In fact, I had that problem last night. All of the actual tones were lost in this wall of atonal...

Doc: Don't buy it!!! Its probably mine. I bought a blemished one from them about a month and a half ago for $1500. Needless to say, it didn't work. They dropped the ball on every aspect of the return and effectively ended my dealings with them. Went to a store in pittsburgh last night and...

Well, I don't have mine yet. MF is taking their grand old fucking time sending the thing here. If I weren't saving $200 from the next best price, I would've jumped ship a while ago, but thats practically the cost of the back-up device. They're telling me it should be here next week. Damn...

Yesterday, a friend and I went to the music store to demo a bunch of the large diaphragm condensers in the $200-400 range. Quickly, I think we hit the NT1, NT2, AKG2000, AKG3000, Marshall ?, AT 4033, and some Alesis FET mic. I don't really have the energy to describe all the mics, but it came...

I haven't heard anything he's done in about the last 7 years. Not since Cliffs of Dover and that record. I always thought he was a little too chorus-y and delayed. Kinda like a tone-gag. Has he changed much? Actually I feel the same about David Gilmour in the FLink Poyd stuff, eg last 3...

Several would be an understatement- Right now I have music waiting to be arranged around vox for about 15 songs. One reason is that I obsess about lyrics to a debilitating degree. The other reason is that I haven't "worked" on a song in about 4 months. I usually have to set arbitrary...
