    Poll : SM-57 or E-609 on guitar cabs?

    The 57 is an awesome mic for recording rock/blues/country guitar. It has a sonic signiture that sets up in the mix easily. Cannot go wrong with a 57 and if you don't own one you should for the versatility. But I use the Senn live and really like it; I prefer low volume on stage and like the...

    Recording a band...Drums first?

    This Works for Me Using my eight real time inputs with everyone in the room looking at each other: 6 mics on drums 1 bass -- direct; can go back and use an amp if needed. 1 scratch vocal - standing in the corner and singing softly into a 58 so not to bleed into other tracks Guitarist plays...

    no preamp vs cheap preamp

    FMR RNP is an excellent choice for the money for an upgrade. Find one on ebay. I would use the preamps on my mixer or on my interface before using a $99 "tube" preamp. I tried the cheap ART and hated it. IMHO.

    Help with a dynamic Female voice...

    FMR AUDIO "REALLY NICE COMPRESSOR." Do a search and you'll learn about it. About $175. I think the RNC is a good investment. It seems very transparent when applied gently. I have learned to use this compressor during tracking with good results especially using the supernice mode. A little...

    mic'd amp or DI connection?

    But understand that usually you are sacrificing significant sound quality for this.

    mic'd amp or DI connection?

    Agree with starch on the bleeding over, especially for home studios without isolation rooms. This is a major advantage. Another advantage is that your're not committed to your amp tone and settings. If you record direct and then use a plug in like Amplitube or AmpFarm, your options are...

    Routing external Pre's through Mixer ???

    Yes, my Aark 24 has TRS inputs. It also has definable outputs so I can route the input directly back to the Mackie board for monitoring. This is very cool, guys. Thanks!

    Routing external Pre's through Mixer ???

    This question is of great interest to me since I just plunked down $$$ for the RNP. What does the block diagram tell me, mixsit? Should I really bypass the Mackie altogether?

    mic levels

    I think that you just have the wrong cable for your mic. I would buy an inexpensive XLR to XLR cable and plug into the XLR input and see if that works. Turn off phantom power. While you are saving up for a good mic, you should be able to do fine with you SM57.

    Routing external Pre's through Mixer ???

    I plug my FMR RNP preamp into the line-in. I have assumed that this does bypass the mackie mic preamp stage, but still routes the signal through the EQ section. Am I correct? The most pristine path is direct in to the soundcard as you say, but you lose the advantages of the mixer. I use my mixer...

    punching in????

    Agree about the manual. I've learned most everything by trial and error. Here's how to punch in: 1. Enable your channel for recording. 2. Set your R and L locator points for the part you want to record. 3. Go to the transport bar. On the far left at the bottom corner, set "cycle recording mode"...

    Punching In on Cubase

    I'm having the same problem... with clicks and have been trying to use the crossfade with varying success. Whenever I patch audio segments together by placing them in different lanes, I get clicks. Is this normal? Any advice on how to use the crossfade? Prometheus, you can punch in by setting...

    WHY is it Sharing channels?CUBASE VST

    First make sure that your track is mono and not stereo. If you have it clicked stereo, something like that might happen. And you must make sure that you have designated a seperate channel number for each track. Look in the little box with the channel numbers. Hope this helps.

    Again, what,why is/to Dithering?

    The effects are "rendered" from my mixdown to master file. I do this in 24 bit, and call my result a 24 bit "master." I do this because I analyze this "master" file to check peak and loudness levels, and then sometimes I normalize this file. You're right, to "redo" this I would have to go back...

    how are these mics?

    Yes. Realistic is the house brand of Radio Shack. The AT Pro4L is a cardoid dynamic mic that you can use like a Shure SM 58. It is a vocal mic that you can use for instruments as well. You can use it live or record with it.
