    Oh The Moral Implications,..

    IMHO, probably 'ethical' would be a more accurate word than 'moral.' It absolutely depends on the style of music and what you're trying to say. If your intent is to make a groovin' tune that people will like (I know, that's the intent with every song, right?) then it really doesn't matter. If...

    What do you think about my new setup?

    One advantage that could be gained by using both the Tascam US1641 and the Behringer ADA8000 is that together they would give you the ability to use up to 14 microphones. The Tascam has 8 mic pres, and six additional line inputs. The Behringer has 8 mic pres and has a line output for each of...

    Iso booth - No good. A warning to all building vocal booths.

    Isn't that an open backed amp? If so, you have as much sound coming out of the back and bouncing directly off of the bricks as you have coming out the front. An interesting experiment would be turning it around and putting the back of it close to one of the insulated walls.

    Sending 1 VST Effect across multiple tracks?

    Or you can put all the guitar tracks in 1 "folder" and put the FX you want applied to all of them in that folder.

    Correct. Two channels into the PC, two channels out. If you need more channels, look into USB 2.0 or Firewire interfaces. From your earlier description, though, it sounds like two would probably be enough.

    Recording in 90's

    We used really thin, round piece of black rock (looked a lot like vinyl or plastic) and chiseled grooves in them to represent the sound. To play them back we used wind-up record players with long-beaked birds for needles. Few people know this, but the reason Michael Jackson wore one glove for a...

    Help for Sextagenarian Newbie

    Welcome!!! Not sure about posting the song(s) in this thread. It should be OK.

The PZM could give some interesting results in a lot of...

    Mixing mediocre sounding drums

    From what I've seen, the two most common causes of "drums sound bad" complaints are mic placement and drum tuning. (With inconsistent playing being a close third) Have you tried moving the mics around with your drummer playing while monitoring with headphones? You'd be amazed the amount of...

    Old Mic: AKG D 1000 E
