I'm sure this has been kicked around many, many times but I'm going to kick it one more time. I've got a couple of good large condenser mics for recording but I was wondering about dynamic mics and what recommendations there are for recording vocals. I have some sm 57's as well as a couple of...

I'm unable to open attachments that appear in this forum. I see an icon but I can't open any of them. What am I missing? Thanks, Don.....

I bought Session Horns recently but realize now it's not up to what I'm looking for. So, I'm hoping to get some feedback on an upgrade. I'm wondering if Session Horns Pro is the way to go or is there something else? Any suggestions? Thanks, Don.....

I'm thinking about purchasing some Indiginus products. Has anyone here used any of their products or have some feedback for me?

Anyone have an experience with Heavyocity. Thanks, Don.....

I've just hooked up my keyboard and I'm delving into the midi experience for the first time. Reaper has several virtual instruments for me to experiment with but I was wondering what some of you might suggest. Any suggestions on virtual instruments, vst's or midi in general? Thanks, Don.....

I was wondering how some of you deal with a loud, forceful voice? I have that kind of voice. My way of dealing with it has been to turn down the preamp, lower the input level, stand further away from the mic. However I still have words or parts of words that seem to be loud. I also use...

I'd like to ask for some help understanding how to use eq when I've got many different tracks. I do get hi’s, mid’s, low’s in general. What I'm not getting is how find the right frequencies for the different tracks/ instruments. I won't say that my mixes are muddy but things don't seem to be...

Does anyone here use a Mackie mixer with Reaper? I'm using a Pro FXV2 and would like to use it with Reaper. Just not sure how. Thanks, Don....

I probably should have asked this question a long time ago, but I recently bought some new equipment and I've been rethinking some things. I connect my mics, and some other things via snake. I have a 20 channel (16 XLR & 4 ¼”) snake . So I've always run snake inputs into my preamp and then...

I'm planning on buying 2 pieces of equipment this coming week. Before I do I’d like to get some feedback and suggestions. I'm going to buy a Tube Mic and a preamp. I’ve narrowed the mic to 2 choices, the Warm Audio WA-47 Large-diaphragm Tube Condenser and the Mojave Audio MA-200...

I'd like to ask for help or guidance or suggestions. I've been using Reaper for a year or so now and I'm feeling pretty confident with it. That's not to say that I know or understand everything. I still have much to learn with it but at this point I can pretty much accomplish what I want to...

I'm not sure where to place this post hopefully this is the correct forum. So I've got some questions about microphones. I understand that one mic may sound different depending on who uses it. But my question is more a technical question, or at least that's my intention. If I was recording...

Hey everyone, I've got another gear question. My reason for asking so many gear questions is, I'd like to improve the gear I use for recording. I am retired and plan to spend whatever time I have left recording myself and friends. So here's my new inquiry. In a small studio, with a purpose as...

I'd like to get some advice and feedback. I've been thinking and talking about a new preamp. I have an Art MPA PRO that I bought around 1998. As for mics that I run through it my #1 Mic is z TLM 103 and from there I've got an at 3025 (think that’s what it is) and then some low end condenser...

I'm interested in subscribing to some recording magazines but I'm not sure which ones might be worth it. Anyone here have recommendations? Thanks, Don....

I'd like to get some advice and suggestions on a couple of preamp questions. I currently have a 20 year old Art Pro MAP. Wondering if anyone can tell me about the Focusrite ISA Two? Anyone have another preamp they'd like to suggest? Also, since I have the Art Pro, would I be better off with a...

I've got 13 songs I've recorded. Each song has vocals in it. I'm having some problems finding a vocal sound that I like on the 13th song. So I started looking at the other 12 songs hoping that I'd see some pattern. Unfortunately every song has different fx on the vocal tracks. Which got me to...

I've got a couple of questions with equipment combinations. The questions may come across as naive but I've got to ask. If I'm using a tube mic would using a solid state preamp have negative effects? How about tube mic and tube preamp? I'm thinking of buying a new preamp. Currently I...

Not sure if this is the exact place this question should be asked, but here goes. In what order do you set your effects on your tracks? I may use several different fx on my tracks but I've never been quite sure of the order they should be in. At times I use eq, comp, reverb, delay, a...
