Ok, well this isn't strictly a "Recording" question, per se, but I figgered you lot would be fairly knowlegable in this area anyway... I've thought that it might be cheaper to make my own monitors for on-stage use.. than shell out for powered monitors which seem to cost a fortune. I found a...

Ok... heres a couple of files that ive just pumped out as somthing to do at 1am in the morning. They were pretty happy with temper temper, but evilangelist they prefered a recording from 6 months ago done using a mic that came free with my computer. Hmmm.... Evilangelist Temper Temper...

Ok, so, I have a practice room in a rather old and decrepid part of a house which is used nearly every weekend for band practice. It transpires that over the years its been used for this, tiles in the bathroom upstairs are starting to come loose, so water drips down into the room below if...

Aloha! A quick question to recording drummers out there! What make/model of headphones do you use when recording? I'm looking for a nice cheap pair of isolating headphones for a drummer to record with. They need to be really loud, in-ear would probably be alright, if they go loud enough, and...

Whatever they are, ive mixed a few songs down and they are available to the "general public" right about here : www.hypostasis.co.uk/media/ I'm in the process or re-eqing bits and piecs to get the bass drum really present, which is all they seem to lack at the moment. But anyway, the band...

Ok, so I heard of a friend who got a whole load of pro audio gear for recording from the USA at a fraction of the price that us Brits would pay for it. Particularly he was proud of a Marshall mic which he paid around £400 for which apparently normally costs over £1,000 in the UK. Myself, I...

Ok, So I'm thinking of making a few headsets for drummers with small mics in them so that they can sing whilst playing live. My first creation was simply a coathanger with a lot of PVC insulating tape (of varying colours!) a bit of surgical bandage and tape for padding and a Sennheiser mic...

After getting back from a gig, I bootleged it "covertly" as to not make anyone angry about it (the engineers at the venue were pretty pissed off after I got them to put my custom made headset mic on the drummer, and asking them whether i could have an aux feed just took the biscuit!) Anyway I...

Ok, this is a sorta technique question, but also a Cakewalk question. Right so my method of recording the simpler songs in my bands repretior is to get the tempo, and have the drummer (maybe bassist too) do a backing track to a click, and then build on that. Anyway.. my problem is that the...

Ok, I've been using Cakewalk to edit and record tracks off my 16 channel (4 subgroup) Studer Mixer. I think I've got this song pretty much finished but tell me what you think and how you would make it better. www.hypostasis.co.uk/media/cherish-mixdown.mp3

Ok, here is my (strange) situation. Lets start out saying : oh my god im an idiot. Right. Im recording using a 16 track Studer mixer, with 4 subgroups, XLR outs. Ive got 2 sound cards, both with a stereo line in inputs. So i used that to give me 4 track recording in cakewalk (drums...

Hallo. Not been here for a while! www.hypostasis.co.uk/media.php Only song weve uploaded so far, but... what you think of it? Used Sennheiser blackfire overheads (forget the model) BF504 for toms and snare MD401 (or two :S) for kick DI for bass Shure SM85 for guitar and vocals Mixed on Cool...

What do you guys think of them? much improved upon old designs, or just a repackaged version? Your thoughts, if you will :)

I know this might look like a dumb question, but I've personally never seen the point of normalising. All it does is brings the highest peak up to 0dB by amplifiying.. surely you could achive this just as well with amplifiying and hard limiting, and also adding (a very small ammount of)...

Previously in another forum... Okay, ive decided, My SoundBummer Live! is gunna have to go... or at least have somthing take it place while recording. Now, im looking for a card that has at least 2 inputs (4 channels, being 2 stereo) that i can use a a multi-tracking program to record, and is...

Okay, ive decided, My SoundBummer Live! is gunna have to go... or at least have somthing take it place while recording. Now, im looking for a card that has at least 2 inputs (4 channels, being 2 stereo) that i can use a a multi-tracking program to record, and is of good quality. External...

Currently i have an A100 Yamaha Power amp which i use to power my kenwood speakers which came free with a hifi!! not good! these are my monitors!! Please someone recomend me some better monitors before i put my head in a bucket and cant tell the difference.... :p

Thought i should just kinda introduce myself.. :) Although my age may surprise you, dont try to talk down to be, because it doesnt help anyone :) and plus its more than likley I'll know what youre talking about anyway. I've been recording a couple of bands for about a year and a half, each...

Okay, ill list the kit which i think is appropriate: Studer 10 channel (mono) 3 channel (High Level , probably stereo?) 4 Stereo ins. 4 subgroups, 2 onboard compression modules, 2 auxes and a meter bridge and a TB Studio box with monitor selector and headphone out. PC, AMD Athlon XP 2000+...
