    Hercules FW 16/12 on Mac?

    Hiya! I´m looking for a multi-input FW interface for my 12" G4/1.5 Ghz Powerbook. On paper the Hercules FW 16/12 looks very tempting, I would really, REALLY love to have those 12 analog inputs. However, the company is not known for pro (or even prosumer) audio products and their reputation...

    Preamp choices and a question

    Hello everyone! I am on a lookout for a new mic pre. Currently I am using Mindprint DI-Port and while I am quite satisfied with it I would like to have something different to complement it. To me Mindprint is pretty clean and transparent, perhaps a bit on the bright side. So I am looking...

    Where to buy in EU? Swedes take notice!

    Fellow Europeans! Please share your information about online music stores that ship all around EU (or Finland at least). I´m particularly interested in places that sell Studio Projects, Oktava, FMR and like. It´s frustrating to read about all this stuff when its nowhere to be found on this side...

    Karaoke w/ Sonar & softsynths

    Okay (*takes a deep breath*)... I like MIDI karaoke (you guys back there, stop laughing). It´s fun and it´s a great way to practice singing. And it´s great drinking activity too.

    I need horns!

    Haya! I would like to hear your recommendations for a good horn sample libraries/softsynths. I´m looking for soul/jazz horns: trumpets, trombones and saxes of all sizes. They would be used mainly as arranging help. I play in a big band and I can get good players to do the final parts if...

    Recording a big band with 8 tracks

    Hello again! Here´s the deal: I play in an amateur big band. We are doing a little Christmas concert for our friends and relatives and I would like to record that show. The easiest way would of course be a stereo recording with two room mics. However, the acoustics of the room leave a lot to...

    How does a shotgun mic work?

    I was wondering: they might not be of much use for a home recordist but just for the sake of it, what is the design principle behind shotgun microphones? I don´t think Harveys big mic thread covered this one... I did a search, but didn´t find anything - well, except a rather amusing thread...

    What mics to use for M/S

    Haya! First, let me state out that I do know the principles of M/S-setup (1 cardioid, 1 Fig of, split, phase etc.). My question is: how similar do the two mics have to be? I understand that a cardioid can never sound exactly same as a figure of 8, but would two similar multi-pattern mics be...

    Large dynamics

    Haya there! Mic mania has struck me again and as you know, resistance is futile... As it says in the subject, my mind is set on a large dynamic. There seems to be three major players in this field: Sennheiser MD421, Shure SM7 and E-V RE20. I don´t have any experience on these beasts (Actually I...
