Hi all. The college I attend has a smallish recital hall attached to its performing arts building. There are two entrances into the hall: one on stage and one for the audience. When both of those doors are shut, there is a HORRIBLE hum/whistle that is very loud ... loud enough to make its way...

Hi all. The college I attend in Minnesota is in dire need of revamping their recording situation for the Music Department. Right now in the Recital Hall, they're running two overhead AKG C451Es (with different tips, mind you) into a Mackie board. The AKGs are run through XLR cable until the...

Yet another question. (Will they never end?) I'm looking to outfit my recording setup with up to eight mics at one time. They'll record anything from vocals to solo violin. I'm debating buying a Rolls 6 channel phantom power supply ($119.95). However, every post I see talks about how...

Here's my second question of the day. With any setup of mics, I know that I'll need some source of phantom power. My question is whether or not it's better to pick up a single-job power supply (phantom power and nothing more), or a different type of product. Either way, what would you run...

Hi again. I thought I'd run this by y'all and get your reactions. I've done a lot of research ... both in these forums and elsewhere. I'm thinking I've got a winning combination. To record school bands, orchestras, and choirs, in both concert and session situations, I'm looking at the...

Hi all! I'm (hopefully) going to be recording local area bands, choirs, and orchestras in the near future as part of a business venture. I'm looking for suggestions regarding microphones and mic placement. Here's what I'll (most likely) have to work with at the start: Roland VM-3100 Digital...

I'm looking at the Marshall Electronics MXL2003 Studio Condenser Mics ($149.95 at zZounds.com) as a general mic for recording high school choirs/bands/orchestras in the respective group's practice room. The acoustics of the room(s) could be pretty nasty. I'm wondering if anyone has experience...

I've been using CEP (older version) on my computers for a while. However, a glitch on my laptop has been causing CEP to display a "Device Driver Not Loaded" error. The only way to get rid of it is to uninstall and reinstall. With that pain as motivation, I'm considering upgrading to the...

Along with other (smaller) ventures, I'm toying with the idea of recording some local marching band competitions, burning them onto CD, and selling them to family members and friends of the students involved. (There's been a bit of interest, so it's definitely worth checking out.) I know that...

The Roland VM-3100 has two built-in digital outputs. One is a S/P DIF connector. The other is a standard digital RCA-type connector. Can I use these to send a digital signal to a DAT Recorder and digital in on a laptop at the same time? I'm not seeing anything in the owner's manual, but I'm...

Has anyone had experience with the Rolls RPB623 Phantom Power Supply ... or, for that matter, Rolls products in general? I'm still new to the audio game, and I'm used to seeing names like Roland, Tascam, Yamaha, etc. Most of the phantom power supplies I've seen (in my VERY brief search) are...

Hi again, all! I have yet another question for you. I'm hoping to record a few tracks for a dixieland group over the course of the next year. (I'll be playing on tenor/bari sax. It's not your standard dixieland group, but it's got a great sound.) From what I can tell, the group is into...

Does anyone know why there's a TON of documentation for the Roland VM-3100 (and VM-3100 PRO) on the Japan-hosted Roland site and not the US-hosted site? -ianda

I've got a Roland VM-3100 connected to my laptop via an Edirol UA-1A adapter. At this point, I don't need multiple tracks ... two (left/right) will do just fine. I've been using my headphones to monitor the recordings, but I'd like to run it through some speakers. I'm waiting to get some...

Another question for y'all. I'm trying to connect some KLH speakers to my laptop for use while watching DVDs, listening to CDs/MP3s, etc. The KLH speakers have regular connectors on the back (red & black speaker line inputs). I'm trying to connect these speakers to an Edirol UA-1A USB...

I'm just starting to price different setups and I've got a question for everyone: Would you recomment an affordable digital multitrack recorder (used price under $500) or a digital mixer into laptop with upgraded sound cards? What are the benefits of each? Are there any limitations to either...
