Since when was the SM58 a shitty mic...

A few things for sale: 1. A Roland SP-404 sampler. Fairly beat up, but works fine. No power cord, but standard Boss effects pedal cords supply the right amount of power for this. Comes with 256MB memory card. 2. A Boss SP-202 sampler. Very nice condition, but again, same deal with the power...

Thanks everyone, it all makes sense. Just as long as it doesn't go above 0dB, really?

I've been recording my first few songs lately, and have quickly learned that you can't track too hot. But here's my question: Should every instrument peak around the same level? Or does the nature of the instrument and the type of sound it creates determine where it should peak?

Alright everyone, thank you for all your replies, they've all been helpful. I'll have to see what happens.

I don't have separate rooms for my computer and monitors and such and the room where instruments are played, so I've always used headphones while placing the mics. I know they say that you should try to get the best sound possible while tracking, so mixing is easier and more smooth - but do...

CC.NYC, you're right, it does have to be a male XLR. Thanks for your help guys. And I didn't even realize they were XLR/quarter inch combo inputs. Any advantages to XLR instead of 1/4, and vice versa?

Are these correct? http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Mogami-Gold-Studio-14-TRSFemale-XLR-Cable?sku=339033

I ordered the Wharfedale Diamon Pro 8.2s yesterday, and I'm looking for a cable to connect them to my Firestudio Mobile. These will be my first monitors, so I don't have any experience with the connection. They have balanced XLR ins and unbalanced RCA ins, and obviously the Firestudio has a main...

I laughed out loud. Absolutely not kidding. And - that line is from A.P. too (Somebody throw me a frickin' bone here!) See the double complexity you accidentally created??? (Maybe you meant to do it.)

Ahahaha... :laughings: Thanks. Let me know!

I figured it out. Just had a knob down, and didn't have the option of using the Firepod's output selected. This makes things nicer....

I don't understand how you can plug your headphones into an interface that is connected to a computer and listen to the computer's output through the interface, and mix this way. Same with monitors. Does it actually work this way? Or am I mistaken? The headphone out on my Firepod lets me...

I'll have to pass on the 94s, though I appreciate the offer. About how much would you be looking to get for the 81s if you can find them?

Great!!! Just let me know.

For sale: Roland SP-404 sampler Boss SP-202 sampler Presonus Firepod Samson C02 condenser mics Anyone interested in any of this? PM me. Thanks

I am improving my recording gear, and need a few new things! -Shure SM81 - any condition. Could be beat to shit, as long as it works alright. A pair would be nice. -Audio Technica AT4040 - any condition. Same as above. A pair of these would also be considered. -Firestudio Mobile - same as...

When I said drums, I didn't really mean a whole kit. Just single toms and such. Will the Duet be a big improvement over the Firepod? Because that's what I'm expecting, to a certain degree. If you all don't think it's necessary, than that would save me a fair bit of cash. I might even sell the...

I've recently started a musical project with a friend of mine, and now have the need to record. Over the past few years, I've read lots of internet articles and have accumulated a fair amount of knowledge. I've had a bit of practice recording different things, but I'm still only an amateur...

Right, right, right. Thank you guys for all the help. It's good knowing that I'm not doing something wrong. So it's normal to have to turn everything up a little to mix? And does anyone know of some kind of chart that shows all the recommended peak levels for different instruments? Or is there...
