Hi everyone! First of all, I'm a drummer. I love the drums, and I love practising. A couple of years ago I bought myself some drum mic's and a Yamaha AW1600 multitrack recorder. I had some fun with it, a great practising tool. Now I've sold the recorder - I wanted a computer based recording...

Hi everyone! I'm going to buy a Macbook pretty soon, and would like to buy a firewire interface, so that I can record my drums! =) I was almost 100% sure of buying the Presonus FP10, but all of a sudden I saw the Motu 8pre. I've heard great things about Motu as a brand, and I was wondering if I...

Hi! I was wondering if these headphones could be used as good monitors? I've tried these headphones (a friend of mine has them) and I really like the sound. BUT I'm a beginner at choosing these things, so I want to know if they will get me a good enough sound so that I can do some good mixes...

Hi! After this summer I'm probably going to buy a Macbook (2 ghz, 1 gb ram). I new to recording, but I really want good results (or at least that I have the possibility to get good results, when I get better at mixing, mic placements etc.). I need to get a recording software, because I really...

Hi! I'm probably going to buy myself a Macbook after this summer! I have planned for a long time to run Cubase as my recording software. But I've read some places that Cubase does not work that well together with Macs? Is this true? Or can I use Cubase on my Macbook? The Macbook I'm getting...

Hi! I'm really new to the world of home recording, but I really want to get started. The gear I currently own is drum mics! Now here's the problem: I don't know what to buy next! Should I go for a harddisc recorder? Or a computer based system? I would really want it to be portable. I've been...

Hello! I've written some threads about this up and comming home studio project of mine. I have saved money for a Studio computer for a long. Today I started looking at these "Studio-in-a-box" systems. I wasn't so sure about this, but I started to read up on some of them. Then I suddenly came...

Hi! I've been thinking... I'm going to buy home recording equipment. And I was wondering, will I get more gear for the money if I only buy micpreams, instead of a analog mixer? I was thinking about getting a Yamaha MG 16/4 mixer, but could you guys recommend me some good preamps (I want about 8...

Hi! This is the drummer Zorlee! I'm soon going to buy a new studio-computer. That will be my first step into the world of home-recording. I'm going to work a lot this summer, so I'll hopefully get some money to use on other things as well. That being said, I'm still on a budget here. But I want...

Hello everyone! I own a Audiotrack INCA88 soundcard. I'm going to buy a new computer for my up and comming home recording studio. I was wondering... Will the PCI soundcard fit my new computer? I was reading "Home recording for musicians for dummies" just now, and the author said that not every...

Hi! I'm going to build a home recording studio! First of all I need to upgrade my computer! But after I've done that, I'm going to buy some drum mics for my kit! I was thinking about the Audix Fusion mic pack for a long time. It seems like it's a bang for the buck! But just recently I've been...

Hi! I'm very new to home recording. I'm looking for an affordable mixer, and the Yamaha MG 16/4 looked very nice! I have a 8 i/o soundcard (Inca88) and I need a mixer with direct out (or at least that's what I think I need). Can I use this mixer and for example use it like this: Drum mics -...

Hi! I'm thinking of buying a mic set (just for starters) and then later on change the mics, but I just want a set that "works". Nothing professional, but something that works and that gives a nice quality. If you can post some recordings done with these loq budget mic packs (talking about...
