I've narrowed the choice down to these 2 ( I've already eleminated the Steinberg Houston). Can anyone give me an opinion on either the Mackie Control surface or the Tascam FW1884? Fanx, Adzzz

Wow! What a great thread! It's fairly simple really.... I don't have the money right now, so I use cracked software. When I get some money, I'll buy a legal version... Hmmm... I sympathise with your poverty, but this is simply wrong. The world would be in anarchy if evryone lived by this...

I'm gonna hafta agree with Blind Cowboy on this...Presonus in general has been a big soft-on for me. Right up there with *some* of the Behringer stuff and Nady gear... :(

yep a big problem...

I'm hearing good things about the RODE K2 tube condensor mic. Can anyone give me details on the differences between the K2 and the RODE NTK?

Here's a song I recorded for a bunch of friends of mine. We had very basic tracking e.g. 4 drums mics - kik, snare and 2 o/h, band played live together, only the vocals were overdubbed later. Here 'tis: Inner City Blues Cheers, Adzzz

Huh? Blue Bear & brzlian.... what are you thinking?!? Sure, most manufacturers will recommend a certain placement for their monitors, but I've NEVER heard of ANYONE recommending that the tweeters should be placed on the inside when mounting horizontally. When mounting horizontally, the...

I'm wanting to play electronic drum pads with live drum samples rather than simply programming, to get the feel of a real drummer, but I've struck a problem... I've hooked up my drum pads to my Alesisi D4 - works great - but the D4 internal sounds aren't so great, so... I connected the MIDI...

really? why not? i've never thought of doing that, but does it somehow degrade the audio signal, or what's the deal?

Which is "best" or do they all sound the same?

I know the XLR inputs of my desk are the input of the mixers channel preamps. Are the 1/4" line inputs on the mixer also channel preamps?

When I'm finished tracking and I'm ready to mixdown, does it matter if I go from the recorder output to the mixer XLR inputs, or should I go into the mixer 1/4" line inputs? Thanks

Someone here told me that tracking into an outboard preamp=>into mixer=>into recorder is BAD (due to extra noise of going thru the mixer preamps too). Makes sense I guess. But now I'm confused....if I track direct from the outboard preamp =>into recorder, aren't I still going to go back thru...

Thanks for the feedback so far people! I think I mixed the guitar a bit loud tho. I'm gonna remix it again. For those who asked, the drums are actually an acoustic kit recorded live in our jam room. If you listen closely to the hi hats and cymbals you'll hear his occaisional sloppiness ;) The...

I don't believe that paying 10 bucks a year for a domain name makes me fortunate, but each to their own I guess. What about my song man? No critique? Hi Jim, the guitar is a Yamaha Strat copy with hotrail humbuckers. It went through a cranked Marshall 9000 series head, JMP preamp and quad...

Here's the tune: In Vain I think it sounds fairly good, but I'm not happy with all aspects of my mix....still a bit to learn I guess ;) Some opinions from fresh ears would be nice! The gear I used: Behringer digital desk, Virtualizer Pro, Composer Pro (x 2), Ultra Gain Pro, Alesis...

:D LOL That does seem to be an awfully large commitment. Maybe chessrock simply enjoys helping people out. He seems friendly enough. Certainly no patronizing, smartass attitude answers from chessrock ;) lol 7 posts a day for 900 days in a row is maybe not as bad as it sounds. It only gets...

Got one! Yep! Bit the bullet and got a 737. Sweeeeet! Now a question: What is the recommended technique for tracking vocals: a) Avalon output (xlr) direct to track input (RCA) onTascam DA-38? b) Avalon output to channel input on Tascam TM-D8000 mixer? c) Insert Avalon into mixer channel...

no worries... Yeah listen mate, no hard feelings from my side. I'm just obviously fairly f*cked off that I've invested my cash into a *supposedly* reputable company with the intention of bettering myself and my knowledge, only to find that the whole course is basically a joke, riddled with...
