I have a small digital set up and looking to use a tube preamp to warm up vocals. I currently now use a small mixer with built in pre's and would still like to use it when tracking for eq purposes. Should I put the tube pre before or after the mixer in the chain? My thinking tells me to put it...
Saw Joe Meek brand mics on AMS. They seem to be comparable price wise with the Behringers, Studio Projects, and Marshall. Curious if anyone in here has used them and their opinion. Thanks. Pj
I am importing tracks off an 8 track recorder into software and mixing down to stereo. Does the soundcard affect the audio at all thats produced onto cd? Or is it bypassed and used only for playback/monitor? Debating on whether I need a new card. Any replies appreciated. Pj
I'm currently looking for a bass guitar for home recording. Found one set up nice at a local shop. When I asked if he sets them up at purchase, he told me that it wouldn't matter because basses need to be set up every time you change the strings unless you use the exact same strings all the...

I'm importing tracks off a digital recorder into mixing software and vice versa. Does the quality of my soundcard affect these tracks besides playback? Will it affect them when I burn mixed wavs to cd? Or since the tracks weren't recorded through the soundcard they basically bypass it. I plan on...

I decided to get the ball rolling and emailed product support at the fostex usa site. Hope you all with bad buttons jump on board. Maybe they'll come in here and try and justify charging a third of the cost of the machine for one plastic button. Pj
I have a Moog Opus 3 keyboard I aquired years ago and have pulled it out recently to use in some home recording. Still works but needs a good cleaning. I'm curious how old my unit is-what year it came out. The model number is 339A. If anyone has an idea that'd be great. Also looking for tips on...
I'm doing pc audio mixing and looking for some monitors besides the ones on my pc which are JBLs and don't sound bad at all and headhones don't give me a true sound. I have a budget around $300.00 for a set of 2. I'm assuming I use the output of my sound card to connect these to the pc? Any...

I was importing and exporting tracks as always and suddenly I'm getting an error message when going from MR8 to pc. I've tried downloading again and using a cd copy I made with no luck. Very frustrating. Like the rug's been pulled out from under me! I'm currently working on stacking vocals and...
