    All round home studio mic suggestions please.

    I am looking for a warm sounding mic to record vocals (male-soft sounding voice) and mic guitar cabs, maybe bass, in a very small home studio. Space is a problem so it will need to be a simple set up with no in between power supply. I'm not sure how many mics need power supplies? Obviously I...

    Valve mic too sensitive for home studio!

    I bought a Groove Tubes GT67 for my small home studio a few years ago (6x feet - not good on the acoustics either) , and although I think the GT67 sounds very nice, it just seems too sensitive for home studio use, picks up too much external sound and is just a hassle to use. I am unable to...

    I have an 25 year old 100w transistor Marshall. What would you recommend as a new combo for nice sound and home recording only - not needed for gigging? Cheers:)

    Joe Meek TwinQ opinions?

    A mixing desk for my DAW advice.

    Need volume control for Alesis speakers & headphones - which compact mixer?

    I need to find a simple way (one knob/slider) of adjusting the volume of my speakers and also headphone mix. I am looking for suggestions of an inexpensive desktop mixer for this. I was looking at the Tapco mix 50, would this be one of the cheapest options? Thanks
