Heresy!!!! And he turned me into a newt!!!! Burn him!!! :laughings:

There is a pretty decent article at SoundOnSound: Patchbays

If it was built to the best acoustic specs for an audiophile listening room, doesn't that mean it's probably already treated? I used to work for a high end audio dealer, and when they did high dollar systems, it always included tuning the room for a good, flat response, exactly the same way we...

Brilliant!!!!

Want!!!!!

Generally, the programs are going to open on whichever monitor it was on when it was last closed. Try opening a program, minimizing it, dragging it to the second monitor, then closing it. The next time it's opened, it should open on the second monitor.

I was going to ask how many cymbals you have. Try plugging a 1/4" plug into the 'in' jack on the kick pad.

Can't really do much to help you without more info. There are several Mbox interfaces. Try reading the manual that came with it, that should tell you which model is in it and how to set up your gain staging.

What speed are you recording at? What size reels?

If you swap tapes between machines.

At one point in time (late 70's/early 80's) Ibanez made the best Les Pauls on the planet. I had a couple of them as well as an early set-neck Iceman. These were some of the ones now referred as 'lawsuit' guitars, since Gibson sued them and won. Containers full of these guitars were destroyed by...

Speaking of cabling... Could you please furnish some more details, like the model number of the Mbox and how you're connecting it to the PC?

OK, 1_01 is recorded at a ridiculously low level. 2_01 is pretty low also. What are you seeing as far as peaks in Pro Tools? Are you just guessing at the levels, or are you looking at the peaks and stuff on the computer monitor? Oh, and an SM57 doesn't need phantom power. Won't hurt it, it...

Have the drummer play, then listen through headphones as you move the mics around. Slight changes in mic position can make a huge difference in the sound.

If you're recording one instrument at a time, what are you using to enable the musicians to hear what was previously recorded?

It's better to use a fairly high resistance (1 megohm or so) resistor from the filter caps to ground. I have a few that I made from jumpers, just inserting the resistor in the middle and heat shrinking over it, and clip one side to ground, the other to the filter cap, leave it for a few minutes...

Thanks thebigcheese. It's sometimes easy to forget how tough the retail world is, and how management can require seales staff to do stuff in a manner customers consider stupid or offensive. My one brief stint on the sales floor at an audio retailer left me wondering how people could put up with...

Fuck yeah!!!!

The Apogee is a good interface. It only has the capability to use 4 mics without adding additional mic preamps, though. I typically use a TASCAM US1641 (now replaced by the US2000) for situations like you're describing. It's much more modestly priced and has 8 built in mic preamps.
