    8 or 16 Track Tape Machine

    Sorry for being my usual brusque self, but... Someone who is looking for a not too expensive 16-track tape machine because the 16 VU meters look cool? Do you really think anything other than a pointer toward the "Analog Only" forum and advice to do a lot of research is going to be anything...

    Good bass amp for recording?

    Or you could just plug your bass directly into the instrument input on your $1,500 Grace Preamp. No need for a DI box at all... Would any of the advice regarding DI on this thread change if you knew Chadivision had a Grace Preamp? Since Chadivision didn't tell us what he has, anything...

    Working with external compressor into DAW

    It might help for some of you to explain exactly where he needs to cut the cable on his USB microphone to connect the wires to the compressor. I mean, no matter which DAW you're using it don't mean sh*t unless you can connect the wires in the right places, does it. And did it not occur to...

    brand new

    Playing drums in a studio is a whole different ballgame than is playing drums live. Recording itself is far more than just a quick trip to Guitar Center with a credit card, and recording drums is one of the more difficult recording tasks. If you were to give us some details regarding "the...

    Headphone monitoring question.

    Occam's Razor, anyone? Is there any reason why the OP couldn't just pick up a $100 Behringer headphone amp and feed the soundcard output into it?

    Order of operation recording question.

    People who initially come here do so to get and/or share information about home recording. They do not come here to read 5 pages of inside jokes and back-and-forth banter.

    Analogue Recording Gear

    Yep, music recording totally went down the toilet when they started using those digital wax cylinders... I guess ya'll never heard of wire recording, or acetate disks, or the magnetic stripes on movie film (which is not "tape"). And I'll never forget that wonderful machine we had when I first...

    Order of operation recording question.

    I've been playing drums for about 45 years (off and on), and my opinion is "screw click tracks, I can keep time". Or at least that was my opinion until I sat down and tried to play to a click track and found out how wrong I was. So now I have "blank" Pro Tools sessions, with nothing but a...

    preamps in live

    Well, gee...mics won't work without preamps and mics work in live shows. So, the answer to your question is "yes". But neither your question nor my answer will tell you what you actually want to know. Do a little more research, find out what a preamp is and what it does and how its use might...

    Best USB preamp / audio interface for around £150...

    Do a little more research before you end up too far down a wrong road... You will need both an interface and a preamp, although both can be built into the same "box". For example, the ART Tube MP Project Series is billed as a preamp with a built-in USB interface, while the M-Audio Fast Track...
