Are there any VST plugins that have similar characteristics or modeled after the 1176? I know about all the UAD plugins but I can't get them because I'm recording onto a laptop so I have no PCI ports!

The mic you are talking about is a shure sm-7. It's a dynamic mic so no need to shock mount or anything. A lot of people favor this mic for heavier rock vocals and it seems they use it on a lot of females also (Robbin from Howard Stern uses one)

Right now I'm using instrument cables to connect my monitors to my system, do I need to use a certain type of cable or are instrument cables fine? Will they do any damage to my monitors? Thanks.

Right now I'm using Guitar Tracks Pro and I'm considering upgrading my software. I'm looking into buying Sonar 4 studio edition but I'm wondering what he advantages are of upgrading. What will be different about the software? Thanks!

When I record or try to playback a track the sound will cut out for a second and the blue light will turn red, and then turn back blue. In my computer I have the ati radeon mobility 9000 and it says that this 3d card may cause pops or clicks but nothing about the sound dropping out, so is...

This month there is a sale at sam ash and I'm able to get the firewire 410 for $220. Should I buy this and then buy an external pre-amp at a later time and have 4 imputs or should I wait and save up for the firepod. The only issue I have is I have heard great things about the firepod so I'm...

i have the same sound card and same exact problems, it must be the cheap pre-amps. Thats the only thing i can think of since I have used it on both my comps and they are both very high quality.

Yes I'm being serious. I inherited $1,000 dollars and I'd like to use it on recording equipment. Maybe I should have stated my question better but I want to get something that can give me a way to enhance my recordings. Weather it be a pre-amp or new mics....anything. I'm trying to get some...

what preamps should I look into? haha, sorry I forgot to mention I already have monitors

I just got $1,000 dollars and I want to get something recording related but I'm not sure what to get. Heres a list of things I have, Mics: Earthworks TC20 Rode NT-1A (2) Shure SM-57 Sennheiser E-609, Presonus Firepod. What should I look into getting?

Anyone know of any good VST EQs? I dont really know where to look for VST software so I figure I'd ask here. Thanks!

I'm looking to get a good VST compressor and I have no idea what to get. I have tried a few but I'm suure there are many good ones out there I have yet to hear of. I have about $100-150 to spend.

I've got around $400 to spend on overheads. I'm using two rode NT1-A's so is it worth it to upgrade or should I stick with what I got?

How is this mic? I'm looking to use it for bassdrum and guitar. Is it worth the price? How does it sound on the bass drum? I was looking for bassdrum mics when I came along this so I figured I might as well look into it since I would also be able to use it for guitar. Thanks!

I'm looking to upgrade my bass drum mic and I want to spend around $100. It seems to me like I'll have to spend $200 to get a decent bass drum mic but I don't need the best and I can't afford it at the time either. Any suggestions or do I have to take a dive and spend $200? Thanks!

Hey I need to interview someone who is a professional recording engineer and does it as a full time job. I need to ask about 10 questions about your job and what not just the normal stuff. This is for a school project so anyone who is a FULL TIME RECORDING ENGINEER please PM me your e-mail...

Thank you very much, I think I will be going with firewire

I have a pentium 4 2.0 ghz 512 ram shitty onboard sound card 80 gig hard drive, also if I did get a firewire card would it be the same as getting a sound card or is it just an interface. In other words would I still be able to use the sound card on my computer for normal computer use?

I have a crappy USB preamp now and a shitty soundcard and I'm looking to upgrade. If I get a firewire recording unit will I also need to buy a better soundcard or doed the firewire recording unit act as a soundcard while I'm recording. And also what imput on my computer would I plug a firewire...

I'm recording at my house and I'm looking for the best sound card under 200. Spending $100 would be ideal for me but I'm willing to put out $200. I mostly use cakewalk guitar tracks pro to record but I also have nuendo which I rarely use. Thanks!
