OK I know that this topic has probably been covered a bazillion times but bear with me.... I'm wanting to record from a multitracker to computer. I really don't need to edit tracks or anything. Basically I'm doing the equivalent of running a tape player. But when I hook it into my LINE IN and...

I'm pretty new to recording but actually my dilemna has nothing to do with the actual recording aspect. I need to know what is the best (and cheapest) way to soundproof a few windows. My band just started practicing in a very empty basement. I need something to put in front of the windows so...

Hey I was just wondering here: Will cold temperatures affect my drums/cymbals? I have my stuff set up currently in a cold basement. Not really damp, just cold. The only effect I can think of is possible warping of drum shells. I just don't want to unknowingly damage my equipment.

I was planning on just doing simple recording: Hook my Tascam 424 into my computer via a Y cable and recording. However I don't think I have a "Line In". I know I have a "Mic in". My soundcard is a basic SoundBlaster AudioPCI 64D Mixer. I'm not real knowledgeable on this stuff so someone please...

I was planning on recording some music from my Tascam424III to the computer in hopes of converting it to a WAV file. I'm not really interested in editing the music on the computer, just recording it. I know that I connect the line outs on the 4 track to my mic in/line in on the computer. Anywho...

Does anyone know where I could get drum company logo stickers (i.e. Zildjian, Tama)?

I finally decided to add a nice 12" Zildjian A Splash to my setup (which included 3 crashes,1 ride, 1 china). I haven't even tried it yet (haven't been to rehearsal yet). I just wanted a new sound basically. I was just wondering: are these cymbals easily broken/cracked/dented?? I know the paper...

I'm just now attempting to get into recording some stuff. I'm obviously taking the cheapy route (hey I have bills to pay!) I just bought a Tascam 424 the other day. I needed some mics so I came across a deal on Musician's Friend site for Nady Starpwer 9's for $9.99 each. I bought 6 for...

I just bought a Tascam424. I have ZERO experience recording (other than boombox in center of room-hehehe). I'm not real interested in making demo-quality stuff yet but just something to listen to. I have REALLY cheap ass mics (Nady Starpower 9--but hey at $9.99 each, who cares?) I'm TOTALLY...

I'm looking for a good cymbal cleaner/polish. I'm not a big fan of the Zildjian cymbal creme. All of my cymbals are "A" Zildjians. So basically I'd rather use a spray than a creme. Let me know your suggestions. Thanks ahead of time to whoever replies!

I can never get my drum throne positioned right where I want it (heightwise). I was just wondering what is a typical height for drum thrones. I usually have mine pretty close to even with my snare drum

Here's my current cymbal setup: Hi-Hats: Top- Zildjian ??? (old) Bottom-Paiste ??? (old) Crashes: Zil. A Med Thin 16" Zil. A Med 16" Zil. A Medium 18" Ride Zil Bronze Scimitar 20" China "Camber" 18" Basically I bought all...

I'm just starting to get into recording. I haven't purchased anything yet. I'm looking to purchase a Tascam 424mkIII (I hear it's good). :) I guess my question is: What exactly do I need to record othan than a multitrack? Will a regular dual cassette boombox do alright? Or do I need a special...

I'm buying my first multitrack recorder. Our band has played in clubs over the years. We would record in our basement but we just plugged the ol' boombox in and centered it in the room and hit RECORD. But anywho, I'm getting ready to buy my first multitrack. I'm new to it but I do know that I'd...

OK here's my story.... <yawn> When I started playing drums about 9 years ago (when I was like 14 years old) of course I had little money. I eventually saved up about $ 300 and bought a "Blackhawk" 5-piece out of a Sears catalog. I few weeks later I added a second bass drum. So my basic setup is...
