    A Good Hard Drive

    So how does SATA compare to IDE? I have two drives and two cd burners using up all of my IDE ports right now, and I'm planning on getting another bigger drive for audio soon. The problem is that I want to keep both of my old drives, but neither of them are SATA compatible. The new drive could be...

    Bass Drum Boom

    VTgreen gave you some very good advice, but I'd also like to recommend that for BOOOOM it is a good idea to use a resonant head without a hole. The hole will just make the drum decay faster, which is bad for BOOOOM!

    Over head mics

    \ This is exactly why I made that post. It's not just this board either, and I think it's creating a lot of confusion. It's really too bad; the oktavas were an amazing deal and they are still great mics even at the higher price.

    Frickin' Awesome Delay Pedal

    I'm a big fan of boss delay pedals. They have a new one out that does almost everything the Line6 DL4 does, but better and cheaper too! I think it's called the DD20. However, the dd6 is a solid petal that you will probably never get rid of.

    Over head mics

    I don't want to be a party pooper, but I really think you guys should stop recommending the mc012 as a mic in the under $200/pair price range. I know you used to be able to get these at guitar center for $99 each and sometimes cheaper, but those days are longgggg gone, and at this point the only...

    Preamp Quandry

    Two channels of sebatron are only about $1100, and four channels are for sale on ebay for $1400 right now if you can swing it. The pres listed above are great options for clean to slightly agressive, but I think the sebatron really stands out if you want some color. Keep in mind that good color...

    budget verb? Alesis?

    the Alesis verbs aren't going to be much better than your plugins. If you want to free up some processing power from plugins then I'd suggest copying the track and printing the verb to it. Then you can control the wetness by bringing some of the original track back in. If you find that you want...

    does anyoneknow the "Brellie Tube compressor" ?

    Unless it's an Alesis 3630. Then it's just completely useless.

    does anyoneknow the "Brellie Tube compressor" ?

    Bellari? I think he was pulling your chain. Here's a real tube compressor that you can be proud to say "f*ck all" about: http://www.mercenary.com/dr19meedduch.html

    EV RE15 ... received it ... have some questions ... Chris ... anyone ???

    You bastard! I was going to bid on that exact same mic, but i was away from my computer when the auction ended. It's so easy to lose track of stuff on ebay. Oh well, I just scored an ev635a the next day anyway.

    MOTU 896HD Pre's - 600 dollar range pre upgrade worth it?

    You can get some nice pres for 600 bucks. Unfortunately, you won't find six channels of nice pres for 600 bucks. The soundcraft mixer probably won't be very much of an upgrade. The m-audio octane would probably be a noticable upgrade, but I'd rather spend my money somewhere else. What makes you...

    only 2 tracks simultaneous?

    $259 is way over your budget? Then you picked up the wrong hobby my friend. There is no tech problem. We are living in a great age for cheap recording equipment. A couple hundred bucks for a digital 8-track recorder is a steal and I doubt it's ever going to get much cheaper.

    Be Careful Changing Tubes

    You sent it to the factory? Come on, it just a few wires! Grab that soldering iron. I'm sure you could fix it yourself.

    Review My Gear...gems or crap

    Nice stuff, but where are your mics and mic pres? Doesn't a studio need mics? Are you just recording dance music or something?

    New Pres!! Tell me if I'm crazy

    If you hurry they may be still selling new old stock Soundcraft Folio F1 mixers on ebay for 220 bucks. They carry a JBL logo on them, but they're just rebadged soundcraft mixers. I just bought one, and last time I checked there were a few left, but they are being bought up quickly. I was also...

    gonna be building a 7' x 7' control room

    Sonic edwards is right. What even makes it worse is that the room probably has 7' or 8' ceilings as well, which would make it almost a perfect cube! I'm sure you've heard of room nodes, like having a room that is 12x6x8 is bad because the numbers can evenly be divided into each other and create...

    Incubus Make Yourself Question

    Are you joking? I must say that I LOVE Californication, and I think it is very well mixed and recorded, but it is processed to hell. The album has even acquired a reputation in audiophile circles for being one of the most distorted, overcompressed POS ever to come out of a mastering studio. It's...

    Incubus Make Yourself Question

    You know what, I just got my new hafler amplifier today so I've been doing a lot of referencing of cds to get a feel for it, and recalling this thread I decided to give the old "make yourself"a spin. Well, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! My god this cd sounds horrible, especially through the new amp...

    I have a confession . . .

    The trend in the last couple of years with all these indie bands has been exactly the opposite. It seems like the mono, dry, distance miced drum sound is what's "in" these days. I can't stand most 80s rock, but I have to admit that I do miss that wide stereo spread. I even have a fetish for...
