having two monitors is great. if you ever use two, you'll never want to go back.

a compressor or limiter shouldn't make anything go into the red if it's not already. if you're using a preset, make sure that it doesn't also have a predetermined boost in the makeup gain. and if it does, then just turn the makeup gain down until it's not clipping anymore.

I agree...I can't imagine anybody who has any real status/respect in the music industry presenting themselves by saying "I work in all the big studios you've seen in Mix Magazine in Tennessee." It sounds to me like someone is trying to make themselves sound much bigger than they actually are...

i have no way to back this up. but, i'd build my own PC.

Capture the best possible sounds on tape....(or hard disk)

i definitely appreciate all the help and advice. but, actually, this isn't anything permanent at all. i could have these cable out of there in 10 minutes if i want. my studio is in extra space above my garage. and from the studio, there is a small door that leads into the attic. i just ran...

i don't really know what you're asking. but, if you're asking for a free digital mixer, the answer is, "no." if you're asking whether or not you should upgrade your mic, then the answer is, "yes, if you want your recordings to sound better." if you're asking if buying a new mic will get rid...

actually, the cables won't be running along the floor. I ran the longest one from my studio into my attic, where it runs over the joists. And then it comes out of a smallwhole that I cut in the ceiling of a closet right beside where i'll be doing the tracking. so, when the time comes, all i...

okay...it's definitely a balanced signal. XLR to XLR. and I knew that balanced cables were better for it. i just didn't know whether or not the fact that i'm connecting multiple cables instead of using one long cable would make any difference. but, based on what ya'll are saying, i guess it...

i waited three seconds

I've never used the RNP. I own a DMP3. It's clean. It's a "whatever you put in comes out" pre. I think it's worth $150. But, I've never used a firebox and don't know if it would be much of an upgrade. That's all I've got.

and some people just do it because it looks cool

Will connecting three mic cables to make a longer run cause a significant degradation in quality? It will be used to mic acoustic guitar because the best sounding room in my house is the living room, and it isn't close to my studio.

Put effects where they are needed. If you don't know whether or not they're needed, you have a little bit more reading to do.

Never tried the C3000. But, because of this thread I tried to use a pair of C1000s as overheads and i just hate the way they sound. They may do okay if I EQ some of the highs out.

what are you trying to accomplish with your setup? what kind of music/instruments will you be recording?

what placements with the D112 have proven to be good starting points for everyone?

i have an original envoice and like it a lot. so, from my experience, that would be a good choice. i'm not a huge fan of the soft-knee aspect of the compressor. but, it's still a really nice unit...especially if you can get it cheap. you may also want to look into an m-audio tampa. it...

1) the stage that you compress doesn't really make any difference (at least not one that i'm aware of). so, my advice to you would be to record everything without compression, because you don't seem to really understand it yet. i apologize if i'm wrong about that. i would suggest that you...

the pres in the mbox are okay. a good preamp could possibly give you what you're looking for...but if you're not willing to fork up a good amount of money, chances are that you're not going to hear a whole lot of difference though. there are a lot of things that you could concentrate on other...
