I have been getting a wooshing noise from my condensers lately; it sounds like someone is blowing into the mic even though the room may be silent. Are my mics busted or is this at all normal? any info would help thanks

I am looking for drum overheads and saw that Musicians friend was selling a pair of Akg C1000s for about $300. I did some research on them and recieved mixed reviews about their preformance: some said they were great overheads, and others said they had a hideous sound. Are they bad microphones...

I am planning on recording drums with three microphones. I have a shure beta 52 for the kick, but dont have any condensers for overheads. I have a budget of about $500-700 for the overheads and would like to know what mics would give me a good sound in that price range. I hear that the AKG...

I just got a Teac 38 8 track and i am getting no signal on playback. While recording, the VU meter jumps up and down while I talk into the mic, but when I play back nothing happens. I know that the problem does not lie with the 8 track because when I bought it we went through each track to make...

Would this setup work? If i used the direct outs on the 312 to plug into the Teac, would I be able to record each track simultaneosly? I havent gotten a good look at either of these machines, so does anybody know if the connections match the same size? Also, would it be better to spring for a...

thanks, thats what I thought the numbers meant, I just wanted to make sure thank you M

Does anybody have info on this mixer? I found one used and wanted to know how many busses and outs it has. thanks M

If I used the M30 to record 8 tracks, would i be able to isolate those tracks, or would they all be recorded as is with no chance to pan and EQ? Do you think it might be a better idea to buy a tape machine first, like a tsr 8 or teac 38 which I have a few leads on, and then finding a mixer to...

the right board So what mixer should I go with? I just want to be able to record 8 channels at once, so does that mean i have to get a mixer with 8 busses? If so what are some mixers that match that? If i did get the tascam M-308 how would i be able to record 8 channels at once? Is the...

the M-30 is the mixer still available? I am interested in it.

I am trying to find a mixer to go with either a Teac 38 8track or a Tsr 8. Anybody have suggestions on what to get based on availability and such. I want to be able to record 8 tracks simultaneosly, what exactly does a mixer need to be able to do that? Is that where the busses come into play...

What are your thoughts on using the tascam TSR-8 with the tascam M-512 mixer? Is it possible to record 8 tracks simultaneously? Would this be a good start for a personal studio? thank you M

Thank you so much for all the info gentlemen. You all have been very useful and quick to reply. M

thanks again for quickly answering my questions. where do you connect the instruments/mics? You said that you use recording buss outs on the mixer to feed the inputs of the deck, what is the deck? Also, what exactly are the recording buss outs? I have the spirit E-12 mixer and it has two xlr...

thank you for the info. I still have a few more questions: how do you send the signals from the tape machine to the mixer? Does the tape machine have eight sends for each track, and are those then sent into the eight inputs on the mixer? After that is done and the panning is all set, do you...

I have a few, probably stupid questions, about recording with a multitrack. First off I am looking at buying a Teac 38 1/2 inch 8 track, my question is are there panning knobs on the tape machine itself ? I understand that you record into the tape machine, but do you need to send the tracks out...
