I started with a mobilepre usb and I sympathize with you. I generally advise people to work with what they have but I think that has got to be the worst interface ever made. If I were in the market now I would look real hard at the presonus firestudio mobile. It has high gain preamps and is...

Keep in mind that your bass is coming from the "f" holes. If I had your 2 mics I'd put the dynamic on the f hole and the condenser in front of the resonator, at a distance. As a matter of fact that would be my default process. Play with positioning and mix the 2 to taste and you should be able...

I've always believed that a "good" engineer can record a live band in his sleep, in a tree, in a blizzard, etc. Plenty of real engineers have recorded live bands since the beginning of recording. Everyone always passes it off on the musicians not being good enough without ever questioning if...

I've had my Hs50's for a year or so and I still share your excitement. I've had Mackie Hr824's for about 5 years and always fought with them for translation. My mixes would sound good on the Mackies but not anywhere else. There was always something in the mids that wasn't quite right. The...

But that will kill all his "room natural reverberation".

Sounds like you're recording everything too hot. You should be recording at an average of -18 dbfs in your daw. Also , if your control room is untreated, you aren't hearing your bass properly.

Sorry that johnsuitcase got credit for your troubleshooting on that Dmp3 with the wrong voltage. I guess some people don't read their posts very thoroughly.

Forgive my pointing it out but credit should go to Commanda for figuring out that your transformer voltage was wrong.

There is No adapter. You would have to use a step-up transformer to use that power supply in North America. It's cheapest to just buy a universal wall wart (under $20 U.S.) and set it for 9 volts. The wall wart is rated at 9 volts output ONLY at the specified input rating. If you plug it into...

Where are you located? What voltage are you plugging into?

I would recommend not plugging the unit back in until you know you have the right voltage to it. The pictures clearly show your wall wart wanting 230 volts at 50Hz. You're plugging into 120volts at 60 Hz. All other suggestions are moot at this point.

You just need to put that european power supply away and buy a universal 110x9v american power supply. They make universal ones that have a variety of tips to hook to most devices. They will also have switchable voltages for various outputs. Pick the tip you need and make sure it's set on 9 volt...

I voted Ksm44. I also own a C414BULS and lots of other mics but the 44 is the last one I'd get rid of. It is never bad on anything and always close to best. Really good on vocals. Excellent on acoustic guitar. As good an "all arounder" as I've found.

This question is more difficult to answer than you might think. Recording is about preferences and workflow and no one knows about that better than you. That being said, a person would need at least a 2 channel interface w/preamps and at least 2 microphones. If you intend to record voice and...

In Oct./Nov. I seen several go on ebay for between $230-$270. I've not checked lately.

Most of us treat our rooms for mixing much more than for tracking. And most of us use broadband absorption instead of foam. Most of us are also in small rooms that don't sound good and the room usually sounds as better after treating. If I had my druthers I'd track in a much larger, livelier...

Which is why I recommend they be used with another set of monitors and not used alone. However, I can say the same for my Mackie 824's, which are not the most "revealing" monitors (they make ANYTHING sound good). Used together, they are pretty amazing. I will never go back to a single set of...

There is a theory that the mids are the most important part of a mix in order for translation to be good. Ns10's emphasize the mids in a way that full range monitors do not. If you get the mids right on the ns10's then you can work out the highs and lows on your full range monitors. I use Hs50's...
