    Laptop for recording edrums -> NI battery

    I'm trying to find out what setup is needed to run an Alesis DM10x edrum set to Native Instruments Battery 4, with zero latency? The goal is to record my drummer friend playing in real time, both the midi notes and the audio produced by Battery 4 as well. I would also like to be able to run a...

    Drum VST for electronic sounds with edrums

    That seems like an interesting solution, and I imagine that their drum kits would probably all play nicely with one mapping. But my recording setup is Windows... and even though I could use a Mac laptop for my friend to record drums onto, then there is the issue of the drums being in a separate...

    Drum VST for electronic sounds with edrums

    So my drummer friend picked up a used Alesis DM10x and I was at his place checking it out. When he plays using the electronic sounding kits, the wildest stuff comes out. I want to use it in my next project, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to get him recording the stuff. I know I could...

    Question about Steinberg MR816x - please help

    I'm looking through the manual and seeing that input #1 is a high-impendance input for electric guitar or bass. Does this mean I can't use any of the other inputs for electric guitar or bass and get a good result? I was hoping to record multiple guitars/bass at the same time with this, which was...

    The obligatory "What kind of computer setup?" question

    Could you give an example build for each of those price points? I'm dead in the water without a specific parts list.

    The obligatory "What kind of computer setup?" question

    I'm trying to figure out exactly what specs I need for zero-latency (or as close as possible) recording/monitoring using a PC. I don't record a lot of tracks at the same time, but I do layer a lot of tracks per song. I also need to be able to use a good deal of plugins/virtual instruments...

    Agreed, it's a really good song.

    Would anyone like to play some bass?

    Just bumping in case there are any other takers; shortedaman seems to be busy, but I will just send you a different track in case he does get back to me with bass on the track I sent him.

    Do I need a preamp?

    No, it doesn't have phantom power. I discovered that when I was researching mics, so I picked up a power supply at that time. Anyway, I read through the manual and learned how to adjust the microphone gain, which I assume represents the GS-10's mic preamp. So, hopefully, I'll be good to go...

    Do I need a preamp?

    I've bought a CAD M179 mic and an accompanying power supply. With my previous microphone, a cheapo Peavey mic that required no power supply, I was simply plugging it into the back of my Boss GS-10 and recording the clean signal using the direct/effect option (records the direct clean signal to...

    Would anyone like to play some bass?

    I read that this is the best section of the forum to request collaborations. I apologize if that is not the case. I have a few songs which are in need of bass tracks - mainly an alternative/heavy rock type of sound. I can't offer any compensation other than naming you as the bass player in...

    Does a mixing engineer do this?

    I can do edits myself to some extent, and am never afraid of learning new things when I can't. But for the sake of recording the rest of my material, I need to get help with things like this. There are just too many songs for me to be able to record them all if I'm doing the editing on my own.

    Does a mixing engineer do this?

    Thanks for replying, both of you. If I'm not able to find someone to "mix" who is willing to do the editing stuff beforehand... then was is the editing person called? I know that when a label puts together an album, they have the artist/band, the producer, the mixing engineer, the mastering...

    Does a mixing engineer do this?

    When you do your own recording but hire people to mix and master the material, who does vocal corrections/edits... like smoothly matching up doubled vocals, fixing pitch problems, etc. Does the mixing engineer handle these kinds of edits? If not, is there someone I can find around here who is...

    Correct knob settings and strings

    Nono, I meant the original thought process of trying to avoid the two different settings was probably overthinking a bit (as another poster suggested). Sorry for the confusion. ;)

    Correct knob settings and strings

    I knew that it switched between the different pickups, but I didn't know which setting I should be using to get the "correct" tone for re-amping down the road. I thought maybe I should be using the in-between setting to produce a consistent blank canvas for when somebody reworks the effects...

    Correct knob settings and strings

    So I'm going to pick up some Ernie Ball 10s (unless there are downsides to that brand that I should know about), and leave both volume knobs all the way up... But the tone knobs and the switch. Should I just leave both tone knobs at "5"? Because I don't want to have somebody working on it and...

    Correct knob settings and strings

    I am recording with a Gibson/Epiphone electric. It doesn't have a model name on it, but it looks like the pictures of the SG model per its shape, color, pickguard, and knobs/switch. I know absolutely nothing about guitar tone or how I should be setting these knobs. I've written most of my...

    Opinions on list of mics

    I ended up spending a long time comparing three microphones' reviews and specs: the v67g, the M179, and the AT2035. Pretty hard to choose when you're buying online and they seem almost identical. I ended up going with the M179 based on a minor difference some people described in its tone...
