Hey guys, I'm loking for some suggestions on a set of headphones that will NOT bleed through to a hot condenser mic. Any suggestions?

Read through this thread, there is a lot of good info on there about picking a couple of the leading sound cards. What is your price range? http://www.homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?s=&threadid=92042

From past experience with new technology, I'd wait a little bit before you upgrade to Serial ATA. Right now I believe they are running at ATA/150, correct? When HD's made the jump to ATA/33, people were jumping on the band wagon like crazy, only to have their new purchased become obsolete very...

I would have to disagree with you there. Cheaper RAM is more liely to have problems with latency. Most of the time you will haev to turn your latency up. Sometimes you will get a good batch, but I have had some bad experiences with cheap ram. I do recommend Samsung. I am running PC800 RDRAM amd...

Of the 5 or 6 Abit boards that I have/have owned, I have never had a single problem with any of them. Granted, 3 or 4 of them were older, but I have had my TH7II-RAID for about a year and a half and it has been one of the most consistantly solid boards as I have ever had, even at being 330 MHz...

Yeah, it really isn't very difficult until you start having strange problems happen like cold-boot issues, or strange incompatibilities, but if you buy all top o' the line stuff you usally won't get a lemon.

You have to admit, that's pretty slick... Not very practical, but pretty stinking cool...

Your options depend on your price range. The absolute best would be to get a RAID card and buy another 120 Gig HD and one for your OS, like an ATA100 40 Gig. This will do 2 things for you. 1, total redundancy if set up the 120 Gigs in RAID 1 mode, and 2, it takes your recording drives off of the...

You are corect, it's not good on your monitor to keep turning it on and off. I have to do this and I'm just waiting for my monitor to blow. As stated before, a good flat panel screen will take the noise away for the most part as they do not have a huge yoke at the back of a tube to re-direct...

I used to be an AMD man until I started recording. This was back in the K6-2 days though, so I can't vouch for the newer AMDs. I now will go strictly Intel with a board that has an Intel chipset. I am running an Abit TH7II-RAID motherboard, and I have had absolutely no complaints. I know it's...

What is Change to spend? Change to spend (n):   1) The ammount of money left in your pockes to feed your family after purchasing your 5 new ADATS   2) A figure directly relating to your checking account while contemplating that Soundcraft board   3) (Form of a question) SM57 or Neuman...

Here I was speaking of guitar processor outs or keyboard out, what-have you. I guess I didn't make that one very clear... :) Very true, but if you have some change to spend, rack-mount preamps make for a much neater/space conscious studio. unless you go all out on your board... If done right...

I would assume that would depend on the board, but I know with the Mackie my band recorded with a couple years ago this is how we did it: Mic to Mackie, insert jack out to ADAT in, ADAT out to insert jack in... The board was used primarily for the pre-amps, but in that case we were not computer...

Oh yeah.. I forgot to say this... If your signal is already at line level, then by all means, plug it straight into the recording device! The less hardware between your instrument and the ADCs, the better!

My point exactly :) If you are using a mixer in this case it is because of the pre-amps that it provides, so why not buy rack pre-amps? Consoles are good to have around in this genre of recording (in a professional environment) because some clients will not mix automated on a computer. They have...

Yeah, if your signal is already at pre-amp level, then obviously you don't need to run it though another pre-amp, so you can run direct in... :) But, if you're micing a set then you'll need the pre-amps on the board or something like the OctoPre then route straight from the OctoPre into the card.

I'm with Son of Mixerman. I don't like complex looking sites. I don't like static sites either, I like to have some interaction with them, and being the admin of several, I like to manage them over the web so I don't have to have all of my editing software everywhere I go. Here's a couple of my...

Initially, everything I am doing will be all comp based, so I won't have to worry about hardware like that. Also, if the board has an insert jack, you can pick the signal right out of the insert jack and route it to the recorder and loop it back in, if you are using the board for your preamps...

As far as me, I believe I have changed my mind from the 828mkII. I am getting a load of studio equipment off of my current employer which includes a Digi 001 card. I was going to buy a MOTU 828mkII, but since I am getting a Digi 001 card, I believe I will use this until I get my real studio...

That seems a little high! I got a quote from Nancy DiMarco at Power-Up Technologies for a Topaz 800 15000 VA. Here's the specs: Power Conditioner 15kVA/10.5kW 208-240/120-208-240VAC, 1 phase Output voltage will maintain +/- 3% Variable input regulation: +10% to - 20% Ride thru during loss of...
