Thank you for your help, much appreciated. I work in several studios right now who use 4x4 booths and the results are excellent: some use foam, some use traps. I'll look more into the suggestions you've made. :thumbs up:

Owens Corning 703 for my 4x4 Vocal Booth: Will 1" thickness be enough or 2" better? Hey all - I've been searching threads for info on OC 703 but can't find an answer to this....any help would be appreciated. I'm building a 4x4x8 vocal booth for voiceovers only: no singing. I'm drying to...

Yup, I hear that!! So.....basically the SM7 etc would help me over the condenser? The only problem I once had with an SM7 was getting enough gain on it.....maybe the RE20 would be easier that way? Thanks!

Hey all - I'm looking to find a low-cost mic for my studio which is less 'sensitive' to room acoustics and background noise than my current condenser (Rode NT1a). The condenser is fine in my studio, but there are occasions when I have to record elsewhere, and I'm getting problems with room...

Thanks guys - Now I understand it a lot more!! Actually Philbagg, you have a good point about adding effects after recording: I guess I'm just old-fashioned, but will start to add after a lot more..... Thanks!! J:D

Hey all - Can any one offer me any help with Cubase? I'm about to punch the screen right now!! ARGhh!! Basically, I'm trying to learn how to use plugins: I've figured out how to apply effects (compression etc) to my tracks AFTER I record, but can't find out how to apply them to the tracks...

Yes, they include a warranty. The shipping was about $7.00, which I thought was fairly reasonable. As I say, I have no interest in the company, they just did me a good deal and thought they might be worth checking out. J

Hey Guys - First of all, many thanks to those who posted to my question about good budget studio headphones. I looked around at a lot of dealer sites including Ebay, then found place called Dakmart, where I got a set of refurbished Senheiser HD205 phones for $9.99 plus shipping. :D they seem...

I'm looking for a low-price pair of studio headphones, and wonder whether anyone can recommend a set? I really need to keep down the cost, but I'm aware that there's a point below which it's not worth bothering.....Of course, I don't know what that price point is. These are for use in vocals...

Hey all - I'm using Cubase LE with a new Lexicon Alpha, and have a problem that's got me completely clueless..... I installed the Alpha and Cubase fine, everything worked for a week or two, and then suddenly playback became very distorted. It records 100% through the Alpha, and if I export...

Thanks for the replies so far.... Just an update: I got rid of the 'fizzing' noise by changing cables, but I'm still faced with two choices: either no level or level accompanied by a huge amount of hiss...... ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!:confused::confused: J

Hey there - I recently bought an SM7b for use as a VO mic. I was warned that the mic had low output, so did my research and chose a pre that offered 65db of gain: an ART Pro Channel. I've just set the system up, and to my horror I'm having significant problems getting sufficient level from...

Hey there - I've been researching microphones to use for VO work in my home studio. My preference is for the SM7 after many many people have recommended it, but thought I'd ask one more question. For the time being, I can only afford the usual basic room treatment/soundproofing...... it would...

Got one! Thanks Al!! :drunk:

Does anyone have a Lexicon Alpha that they'd be willing to sell? Maybe you've upgraded and got beyond it? I know it's a long shot, but I'm looking for one of these to get home recording again on a tight budget: if you can help, please do get in touch! Thanks J:D

Hey guys - In my research into getting a condenser mic, I've been looking at the CAD range, specifically the Trion 6000 and the GXL3000. I've seen some postings which state the they're basically the same internal components in different cases. Does anyone have any experience knowledge about...

I think you're right: the NT1 will be too bright for my voice. I should have made it clear: this is a beginning rig to get me back in the game: I regard it only as a starting point, and the mic will be an early upgrade. I'm leaning toward an SM-7 or the V67G......or a CAD Trion 6000 if I can...

As a British V/O recently relocated to LA, I agree that the standard in British studios in my experience has been Neumann......so far, it does seem to me that there's more variety here in LA. I'm now researching the CAD Trion 6000 as a possibility. My brain hurts.

This is an interesting thread for me: I'm also about to purchase an inexpensive USB interface and am considering an external pre. Cancers, you've kindly advised me on this in a another thread, but as a rule of thumb guys, at what point should one expect a benefit from a better pre? In other...

I'm also trying to find people's opinions on the Focusrite: I'm planning on using external preamps, but I've still been advised that it's a good choice at around $200......
