I'm a fan of the M3... nice on acoustic - used regular on purcussion - usable on vocals. I think it's the best sub-100-quid mic going.

Each mic is acting as an audio interface but they're acting individually of each other. I've never used GB but I assume there's a menu to configure your audio settings... You'll need to go in there and set up the outputs for those 2 devices so that they're outputting GB's master channel (or an...

If you plan on tracking out audio (samples?) from the MPC as well as your synths into your DAW then I'd use the MPCs sequencer... The Midi is solid. As far as DAWs and MIDI... Personally I think Cubase is hard to beat but although I have it I tend to use Presonus StudioOne. MIDI implementation...

I'd avoid a recording with proximity effect on a bassy vocal myself and would probably go in fairly hard on the compression and fairly light on the reverb (unless you want 'boom')... My rule of thumb on EQing is to do as little as possible and 'if possible' to avoid boosting altogether and make...

I kind know what the OP means. I tend to prefer first albums to follow-ups - partly because bands often put too much glimmer on second/third albums (more budget = overproduced?) and partly (usually in the case of the third album after 2 well received ones) due to the material itself... First...

Have you tried putting the keyboard on a (hard cell) foam pad; decoupling it from the surface it's on? It could be that the mic is picking up vibrations traveling from your keyboard, though the desk it's on, into the floor and back up the desk that the mic is on - as well as the sound of the...

I wouldn't call the new electribe limited... The sequencer on it maybe but it's got a pretty serious synth engine - the sound design possibilities are almost endless! I recently picked up the Novation Circuit - in some respects even more limited than the new electribe but it's addictive as...

My scratching is very poor - but I use a turntable often for sampling and regularly 'attempt' cuts. Go for a direct-drive turntable with high torque... Technics 1200/1210's are the favourite among turntablists but that means that even on the used market they ain't cheap... I'd look at Stanton's...

Did you have the mic/line switch on the back set to 'line'? - I know that sounds basic... You should be able to at least access the same functionality as the vocoder (modulation, cutoff etc) - gain is usefully labelled 'volume'.

OP mentioned the GAP Pre-573 not the Pre-73 - I think it important to mention (judging by the rest of his post) that the Pre-573 is a 500 series pre... Will require an API style lunchbox to be useful... Quite an investment. Pre-73 gets good reviews though (I fancy the PreQ-73 myself) but worth...

For best results you'd use headphones as a reference to a pair of nearfield monitors... Monitors would be where I would focus my budget.

They ain't cheap! 32ohm which would lead me to believe that their target audience is audiophile as opposed to production... Without looking more closely at the specs I'd guess that they're far from 'neutral sounding' which is what you want in cans for producing... With a more neutral sounding...

Ps. Still have the Tascam 4-tracker and it still gets occasional use.

DPS12i was my first foray into digital and replaced (sort of) my Tascam 4-track tape recorder. I actually only sold it a year ago after several years of neglect... Recently bought an mpc500 so regretting that now... I seem to be acquiring more and more hardware recently and have considered...

I'd just get saving for a new interface with more I/o. In fact... In a similar position and am currently saving for a new interface.

We had a pair of the old blue Tannoy Reveals years ago and they were great!

Take a look at the focusrite Scarlett solo studio pack... About 120 quid. But the mic will be of at least a similar quality (if not higher) than the Behringer/Samson mics you're looking at... It (the interface) only has 1 mic pre though (I think they still do a 2i2 studio pack - guessing around...

1) not sure that exists... You can trigger a sample 'via' midi but converting MP3 to Midi?! No. 2) go to the Presonus website... Check you have the most up to date drivers installed. Maybe reinstall them if you have... 3) most of the top end DAW's (I count FL in this list) have fairly similar...

I'd consider selling them both and picking up an audio interface and a mic.

When I played in bands we often either added an acoustic to sit in the back or doubled up the guitar track (copied not a second pass) and EQd one side high and the other low. Bass and vox centred. Kit spread.
