Always use König&Meyer Mic stands. German quality. All others suck.

I have them, and the mixes translate beautiful to all other systems. Which is what it's all about.

To me, electronic drums can sound very good in headphones and I can imagine it works well in a live situation, but you can't IMO record with them. They sound lifeless and twodimensional compared to the real thing. And yes, I've owned and recorded both. Now I stick to my acoustic Pearl set and...

+18dB @ 1 kHz +18dB @ 500 Hz 24dB rolloff all above 1.1kHz Done.

I can mail you all the answers if you mail me your gear.

Guess you didnt have very good outboard then... even cheaper units will sound much better than the plugins included is cubase.. and the eq is a disaster.

What drums are you playing?

I got 8. 2 electric (Les Paul + Strat) 3 acoustic (2 western, 1 classical) 3 basses (1 fretless, 1 Jazz, 1 P-bass)

If you want a crisp acoustic recording, the idea you had about changing strings is good. Depending on how long it was since you changed them last time, it can make a world of difference. In any case, it too cheap/easy to not try.

Except adding noise to the chain, and as an end result making the sound worse than it was with the Roland pres only. I agree he needs a digital out preamp, Mindprint has a pretty nice affordable stereo preamp with (optional?) A/D, called DI port.

The dbx 286 sucks pretty bad, a friend has got one. The preamp itself is ok for the price I guess, but the rest of the unit is just weird. You have compressor without a threshold knob or ratio knob, just "compression"... and while there are ways to operate the damn thing anyway, I would never...

I ain't familiar with the Audix CX-111, but I wouldn't use a MK-219 as main vocal mic in any studio. He needs to add a few vocal-oriented LDC's IMO. Otherwise, all in all, he has a good workable setup.

For drums, these mics are fine...especially as he succeded in making you happy before. The alternative could be to go to somone with better mics and possibly lesser skills? I agree with Big Kenny though... what is supposed to be the vocal mic?

Thought that was toto.

Thank God! :D That is truly an awful guitar sound. Reminds me of a boss distortion straight into the console. Uuuuurghh.

None of the above. Just about everyone on the list (except maybe AC/DC) has a pretty even, compressed and boring sound that don't strike me as dangerous at all. My votes go for Neil Young when he goes 11 and sounds like hes about to freaking explode, and Tony Iommi who's always had the most...

I would suggest the KRK V-series.

Agree with what Blue Bear said.

I have a ADAT EDIT card, that runs perfectly in a PIII 600Mhz 64Mb RAM PC. 14Gb 5400rpm drive. Win 98. I don't understand why you need to dish out $1000 to make it work? Seems pointless to me. Oh, and all cards that have adat i/o and adat sync can transfer the tracks at samplerate accuracy...

Forget the Alesis units and at least buy yourself a TC M-300. Great unit at low cost.
