    basic faders

    Cyrokk/HearClear/Tekker--thanks! I think I wanna get MOTORIZED faders. I just WANNA!! Period!! Uh, I think. With regards to the whole computer vs outboard debate Im leaning towards a DAW like the Yamaha AW4416. Seems it's just simpler. Won't have to worry about piecing together a...

    basic faders

    HearClear: I actually do happen to have a good outboard mic pre (Vintech)and a good mic (Neuman TLM 103). Unfortunately they are sort of useless without a good recorder, but I keep on putting off buying one and end up getting some other piece of gear for some odd reason. I think I am just...

    basic faders

    I guess it's involved, but I could use a basic primer.

    basic faders

    I am going to get either a stand alone recorder or a new computer recording setup for my home studio. I am definitely going to have faders this time around-- no more mouse mixing for this daddy-o. Never having used faders, except on my old analog mixer, I don't really understand how this whole...

    How small can a vocal booth be?

    darrin_h2000: Are you asking about WhisperRoom? In any case, I just put it together last night and tried it out for the first time. The sound actually seemed a bit more lively inside than I imagined it would be. I once built a vocal booth that had turned out a lot deader sounding inside than...

    How small can a vocal booth be?

    bcnx/moelar: I paid a bundle. (got the MDL 4242 SNVBP-- check out whisperRoom.com if you must know what I forked over-- my shame prevents me from reprinting it here). But you have to understand the nature of my insanity. I am mostly interested in learning to sing right now. You see I used to...

    is Ebay worth it?

    OK, for argument's sake, and to illustrate some of the points we have been discussing, let us take a hypothetical bidding situation, shall we? Well maybe not so hypothetical. In any case, tell me what YOU come up with. Imagine for a moment that you wanted to buy, say, a digital stand-alone...

    is Ebay worth it?

    Actually, let me amend that a little. For old gear I think Ebay is ok-- I bought a Roland Space Echo, a Waldorf Pulse, and a Realistic Reverb unit on Ebay, and I am pleased with all of them. I also bought a Neuman Mic new on Ebay that works fine, and I am happy with it as well-- although I do...

    is Ebay worth it?

    It seems to me that the miniscule savings offered in most of the deals in audio equipment on Ebay is just too insignificant to bother with. For instance, what is the sense of getting, say, a used digital recorder for $700 on Ebay, when the same item new at SamAsh sells for $800? Certainly there...

    How small can a vocal booth be?

    I just ordered a WhisperRoom for vocal practice and recording. Second smallest they make. The interior is 3'4" x 3'4" x 6'8". Im pretty psyched.. looking forward to knowing I can go in there at any hour, and make any noise that I want to (vocally, that is), and not be heard by the...

    What comes first - music or lyrics?

    I read an interview w/ Paul McCartney where he described how he made one of his biggest hits -- forget which one... maybe it was "Yesterday". Supposedly, he woke up with the tune in his head, taped it/captured it somehow with "dumb lyrics" and then eventually worked in the final ones. Elton...

    "Greening" a CD...fact or fiction??

    Greening, maybe not.. but I definitely believe in "browning" CDs at certain times.

    OK, fine Roel, be that way... does any one else have any ideas?

    Where can I find a classic synth?

    Roel: You seem very synth savy. I like the idea of building my own synth, because the old analogs cost a lot of $$$ and are HEAVY-- I got a loaner once, an old "Electro..something" and I think it weighed OVER forty pounds. It had a lot of cool knobs, but I could barely get it home. I have...

    Digi-001

    a probably dumb question: Cyan-- you're running that on PC? and also.. would you consider Rosetta in front of LE/digi001 "pro".. just in terms of sound, that is (forgetting effects, tracks and anything else.)? -jk
