    Firepod - External compressor on multiple lines?

    I have a Firepod and an RNC that I use during tracking. I use the RNC mainly while tracking vocals and drums. Using it on one line is enough for vocals, but I'd like to use it on multiple lines while tracking drums. Right now I only use it on my overheads, but I'd love to add it to the snare and...

    Need feedback on my singing abilities

    I've been playing guitar for years and I never used to be able sing decently (nor did I really care, cause that's the punk rock way). Now I care, and for the past couple of years I've been focusing more on my singing (especially the past few months). I can usually tell when I wander off key...

    Sonar: Is there a way to stop the tempo?

    Is there a way to stop the tempo from playing at a certain point while recording? When I'm recording my acoustic guitar tracks, you can faintly hear the ticking coming out of the headphones as the guitar fades out. What I've been doing it setting the tempo to 8 right before I hit the last note...

    Is it better to record via MIDI?

    I'm clueless when it comes to MIDI. I'm planning on getting a Firepod to record to, and up until now, I've been recording my keyboard (Yamaha PSR-280, nothing fancy) via headphone out (1/4") to line input. The keyboard has a MIDI in/out and so does the Firepod. What do I gain/lose by going to...

    Should I buy a Firepod?

    I've been recording to my Tascam 688 8-track cassette Portastudio for a while now. I always loved how everything is just packaged together right there in that unit. I've made some good sounding recordings with her. I've been loyal to the old school analog sound, and have been hesitant to go...

    Shure SM81 vs Oktava MK-012

    I'm not too happy with the results I'm getting out of my Rode NT1 or SM57 for my acoustic guitar (Takamine ESF-48C). It appears that the above mentioned mics have an awesome track record. I was wonder if anyone had any hands on experience with both and could make a recommendation. I'd also like...

    Another RNC thread...

    I've had the RNC for about 2 years and have not properly used it. Granted, there was a period of time in which I was moving around from place to place and had to put my home recording off to the side, but now that I am settled I have picked it up again. The problem with the RNC is that I have no...

    Good cheap soundcard for homerecording?

    Long time no post...I'm going to be selling my 8 track cassette portastudio and 'slimming down' to a computer setup for music and sound effects recording. I'm looking at getting a Mackie 1202 or 1402 for the mixer, but I'm not sure what to get for a soundcard. Does anyone have any...

    FMR Audio RNC (Mint, barely used) for sale

    FMR Audio RNC (US 120v) for sale. Mint in box with manual and adapter. I barely used it; maybe twice. Received it for Christmas 2000 and it's been pretty much sitting around in the box since then. I treat my equipment better than anything else, so rest assured it has never been dropped or...

    Marshall Amp Jacks?

    Does anyone know where I might be able to find a replacement input jack for my Marshall VS100 combo amp? It's been causing problems for a while and I would finally like to replace it. I found a website with them a while back but I do not remember it at all now. Oh, and are the input jacks stereo...

    Mini/micro recorders

    I'm looking for a cheap, simple, yet good quality recorder that I can take around with me to record things. No, not bootlegging shows or anything...I'm looking to record different sound samples and stuff, as well as riffs and rough demos of songs I come up with without having to deal with my 8...

    Bulk CD labels & sleeves

    Anyone know any good places to buy bulk CD labels and sleeves (either plastic sleeves, or those paper sleeves with the plastic windows) for cheap? While we're on that subject, how about bulk shipping/return address labels?

    VHS -> PC (Cleaning Up Audio)

    My sister video taped a gig of mine (using a crummy VHS camcorder) and I dumped the audio to my PC using Sound Forge. Now I'm looking to clean up the sound. My main concern is that high pitched noise...I don't know how to explain it exactly...but you know the noise you hear when a TV is on? I'm...

    Computer or Stand-Alone Digital?

    I'm weighing my options right now for a studio that I might be starting with a friend. We wanna have more than one format to record with (like most studios) such as reel to reel, ADAT, and either a computer or a stand-alone hard disk recorder (such as the Tascam MX-2424, which is VERY...

    8 I/O Sound Card?

    I've been daydreaming of the computer recording world, wondering how much stuff would cost and what to get. If I were to use my computer for recording I'd want to hook up a Mackie 1604VLZ Pro to it, and have 8 ins and 8 outs. I think the 1604 uses RCA in/out, not totally sure, I don't own one...

    Good Books?

    I'm looking for a good book on general music law/marketing subjects...a book that'll give me some idea as in what I need to do/know to manage my band...how to market CDs and such, how to give credit, copyright, etc. I've narrowed it down to two books, both of which sound like very good books...

    Modifying Pedals

    I know there's people out there that modify pedals...anyone know of any websites of people who do this? I'm just curious to know if it'd be possible to modify my MXR Blue Box to put in a switch or knob for the fuzz to make it optional. That would be sweet as hell...
