    Hum from amp through snake

    This isn't really a DIY/Homebrew question per-se, but I wan't sure where to post this, and I'm interested in the techie answer to my issue. I just picked up a pair of Behringer HA400 headphone amps for my studio. The price point on these is nice, and hey, they're just for monitoring while...

    FS: 50' & 6' Hosa Snakes

    I have two Hosa snakes I'm looking to part with. The first is a 50' Hosa Pro-Conex 8X4 snake (8 XLR and 4 TRS connectors). This snake is STILL SEALED IN THE BOX, so it's in brand new condition -- I decided I'd rather have a 16X4, but couldn't return this one. I have two of these snakes in my...

    Metallica - Death Magnetic

    Has anyone heard the new Metallica album, yet? I just wanted to vent a little bit here. First off, let me just say that I haven't been a big fan of Metallica since the Black Album, but I thought all their albums besides "St. Anger" were palatable. St. Anger, aside from trite songwriting, was...

    FW-1884, G5, Clicks and Pops?!

    Hey All, I posted this over at the tascam forums as well, but I figured I'd try to reach a different audience by posting here, as well. I'm getting clicks and pops with my FW-1884 and my PowerMac G5. I have Logic Pro 7 and OS X 10.4.8. I also have an M-Audio Octane hooked up to the 1884 via...

    Mackie 1202-VLZ Question

    Hi All, Anyone have experience with this board (Mackie 1202-VLZ)? Do the monitor and headphone outputs operate independently of one another? For example, if I turn the main volume down to the monitors, will the headphone volume remain the same? I'm looking to invest in one of these for a...

    Copy tracks from VS1680

    Hi All, I am going to be working on a project for a group that has some tracks recorded on a VS1680. I'm not familiar with the board at all, so I was hoping someone could answer a quick question for me. Is there any way to easily grab the tracks from a song as files and copy them onto a...

    Interesting question regarding recording drummers

    So, I have run into an interesting situation and I figured I'd post here and see what people have to say... I'm just starting up my studio, which I guess is just slightly more than a project studio. My first project has been a band that I've known for a while, very good guys. We had allocated...

    Splitting A Mixer Channel Between 2 Rooms

    Hey All, I have a setup I'm trying to make a little more convenient and I was hoping to get some input and weigh some options. I have two separate rooms for tracking in my studio. Each room has its own dedicated snake. When I want to use one room or the other, I've been unhooking one snake...

    XLR Snake

    Hey all, For my next recording project, I realized that I'm going to have to invest in a snake. I use 2 computers to do my recording, and I found on the last recording that I made that the fan/hard drive crunching was a little loud on the recordings. Oh well. Time to isolate the instruments...

    Mastering Tips

    Hey All, I'm working on a big EP project in my home studio. I have four songs mixed that I am very happy with. Now, because I am a glutton for punishment, and also because I'm poor, I am trying to master it (decently). So far, the mastered tracks sound pretty good on my monitors. The CD...

    Vocal Mixing Advice...

    Hey all... I've recently been doing some recording and mixing. My band (4 pc. guitar rock band) just finished a 4 song demo that sounds choice, except for the vocals. The vocals are crisp and clear, but don't sound quite "polished". I was wondering if anyone could give me some EQ and...
