What instruments are you going to be recording. I ask because if your just doing something like vocals you may want a more dead space than if you are doing acoustic guitar. However, if I were you I would start by throwing down some area rugs. Those tiles are going to be super reflective and give...

I know a modest amount of theory, and its boring as heck! It has its place and time, but for writing lyrics and such the true catalyst is the world around you. NO AMOUNT OF THEORY can trump inspiration and experience, no matter what any of your educated buddies tells you

Hey man. Welcome to HR. The people on here are amazing, some real dedicated guys just trying to help eachother out. My setup has been kind of wishwashy, but I am actually upgrading a ton tomorrow. However, as of right now, here is my setup Pc= Hp Dv8t Mics= Ksm44, Shure SM7B, MXL 603s, Sm57...

+1 on the Reaper. A company that actually listens to its users, gives them a non crippling "demo" to make sure they like it and constantly updates it? I know, crazy. But for real, I am a diehard REAPER fan and after the initial learning curve, you glyde through it!

Yeah dude i totally agree. I have used a u87 before and fell in love with it. It was the older model though so idk if that changes anything. The Great River i heard is amazing so thats why I bought that. As for the converters, do you know of any cheaper alternatives that will still give me the...

Thanks for the wisdom man. I am going to be using a Great River MP-2NV as my mic pre. The reason I wanted to upgrade the converters but wasn't sure is because how shitty the firepod is. but then again, the KSM44 is good but not premium quality

Hey man. Thanks for your reply. The reason I wanted to go with the 800 is that I would hate to limit myself to 2 channels. This is not something I plan on stopping anytime soon, and with converters as great as the Apogee I don't think I will be upgrading for a long long while. In the future...

I have enough funds to get one of these things. If I get the U87, I will be stuck with the converters on the firepod. If I get the Rosetta 800, my main mics will be a KSM44, a SM7B, a sm57, and an ADK Hamburg. So whats more important to my signal chain in this case; Mic or ADC?

NOTE: Just looked and my computer does have a PCIE port, which is great. Also, if you could just make a list of the cables I would need, it would be much obliged as I am new to "AES" cables and such. I need to connect to monitors, my headphones, the mic pre, and the Apogee. Thankss guys

Oh, so I connect my monitors, my cans, and the GR to the Rosetta 800? I guess I have to fork out money for the firewire card in it huh? :(:mad:

Hey guys. I appreciate the help, I really do. My laptop has one of those smaller firewire ports. Thats how I currently hook up my firepod. I had to go into the drivers and change it from the current one to LEGACY, in order to get my FP10 to work. Now though it all works perfectly. This would...

Straight and to the point. I really appreciate it. I actually was thinking about getting the GR and then getting an Apogee Rosetta 800 with it. Would i just run this through the fp10 and bypass all the cruddy electronics in the fp10, and pretty much just use it to connect to the pc? My pc is a...

The whole thing I am confused about though is how can I use that with my laptop. I do not have a pci port on here so i have no idea where to plug that into?

PS. I am not some scrub that doesn't deserve the gear because i don't know how to set it up. I just have never worked with an external converter rather than an interface. just saying lol because i dont want anyone to hold it against me...i understand all the hook ups, i just dont know how it...

Hey guys. I am trying to figure out how to hook up the gear I am going to be purchasing soon. My system chain will look like this Hp dv8t (laptop)-->fp10-->Apogee Rosetta 800, Great River MP-2NV-->KSM44 and other mics So my question is, how do I hook all this up to my laptop. I don't have a...

whats your budget? how many channels do you need at once. do you want eq and comp on it?

Oh yeah. I forgot to mention before that I will be using a KSM44 and an SM7b as the main mics going through this pre

Hey guys, thanks for the answers, I truly appreciate it. The reason I did not specify was because I did not want to close the door on some really great 2 channel Mic pres. I always have the ability to use the 2 channel mic pre on overheads and then the fp10 on the other channels for drums. I...

Whatsup guyss. I am looking to raise the quality of my recordings, and one major improvement I need to make is on my Mic Pre. Right now I have the fp10. I am looking for a mic pre with between 2-8 channels. I will be recording some drums but I dont mind using a lower quality pre for the toms and...

Sorry, I can't believe I forgot to write that haha. I want to be able to record different bands. I mostly right now am bringing in Alt Rock Bands with a lot of that "in your face" vox and guitar and acoustic artists with just a guitar and a voice. I also get a lot of wanna be rappers so that...
