    Our singer is looking at one of these, anyone know if you can get a distorted vocal sound from one...a bit like the strokes or others... http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=1651&brandID=2 I think it has built in compression and limiter too, seems really good value, but...

    Anyone know about vocal pre-amps?

    Been looking at the Avalon 737 http://www.dv247.com/invt/15318 but at £1700 its way out of reach, are there any other decent vocal specific pre amps available, tube preferably but not essential, we need to warm up the vocal and add distortion. cheers

    How do you get that Distorted vocal sound like The Strokes do

    We've been messing around with the PC and a Zoom mrs1266 and basically can't seem to find what we need, the vocal sounds to soft and clean and doesn't sit in the mix well, we are a rock outfit, think strokes. Are there any VST's or hardware available that can do the cranked vocal thing but...

    Mic advice for live

    Our singer is looking for a new mic for live gigs , his sm58 has seen better days and to be honest never matched his voice, he has a low to midrange voice that doesn't cut through much, he does tend to sound a bit droney at times, so i figure he needs a brighter more cutting sound, something...

    can't decide, Marshall jtm60 or Fender hotrod deluxe

    I've been shopping around for a decent tube amp and kinda narrowed it down to these 2 from my local dealer. I'm gong to be doing plenty of recording and gigging down the line so i need that flexibility. Are either of these amps known to be classics?, they both have really great vintage tones...

    starting out sm58 question

    Hi, I want to put a shure sm58 on a kick drum and since all the gear is partly owned by 4 people in the band the singer seems to think that the kick drum will cause damage to the sm58, is this true? We basically have 6 sm58's between us which we where going to use on the whole kit, i know...

    M-audio quattro that is, can some one tell me what software this product works with, i've found the drivers extremely unpredictable/unstable and a pain to install. Tried with n-track and cooledit, sound distorts and is very low output, playback is intermittent or whenever it feels like it. I...

    £200 to spend on usb soundcard

    I need a usb soundcard for my laptop, it must have 4 mic inputs for recording drums, and be under £200. I've been looking at the m-audio quattro model, but i know nothing about this kit so i thought i'd ask the experts here. Basically is it any good, i use N-track software , its the one i...

    zoom mrs 1266 alternative options

    Hi i'm relatively new to recording, done the odd bit with n-track on my laptop just using the internal s/c, found it a a little taxing and not as personable as portastudios. My question is, i'm all geared up with cash in hand to go out and buy a zoom mrs 1266 studio at discount price of...
