    Matallic-type noise coming from recording

    I have an Xacti HD1010 camcorder and I attached an Audio-technica Pro 24-CM to it. The problem I'm getting is two-fold. One is that the volume coming from the 24-CM is pretty quiet. The camera can adjust external mic gain, but going up much past the lowest level inserts static noise. However...

    Good mic to use with a small video recorder?

    If I have a small sized video recorder like the Sanyo HD1010, what would be a good general mic to use with the mic-in 3.5 jack? Bullets are good for recording people and directional audio, I've got my eye on the popular Rode videomic, but again the camera is small and portable, that mic is a...

    Home theater with PA, need more stuff!

    Hey fellas, I basically have a question to request a certain amp, but here is the story. My dad gave me his old PA they toured with, models and such don't matter. But anyway, I took the audio output from my DVD and such and put it in the PA to get some big sound, it's fun, we have Xbox parties...

    What about distribution?

    Hi. So our band is making our first basic CD, 6 tracks, just something to sell if we play anywhere, or to mail to people for whatever reason. We go to record next week. So I've been given the responsibility to find out who would be best/cheapest for CD duplication and distribution. Disc Makers...

    Are these good mics?

    I can't find a single review online, maybe don't know where to look. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/AudioTechnica-M4000S-Microphone-Buy-One-Get-One-Free?sku=271318 What is tripping me up is that the MSRP is $399 and I can get two for $50, or a whole kit for $60 with an MSRP of $499...

    Best place for speaker parts?

    I think this is the right forum to ask, since there doesn't seem to be a place specifically for speaker construction. Anyhoo, just wondering what is a good website for buying random speaker parts like feet and jack plates and corner guards and cabinet finishes like carpet or vinyl, acrylics to...

    Drumstick suggestion for v-drums

    We're about to get some Roland v-drums, a top of the line kit I was told. But someone mentioned that sticks are an issue, that we should get maple sticks? I don't know about what wood or what tips are best to play on v-drums. Of course we want the drums to last and I don't want anything...

    Speaker problem, how to fix?

    Hi, I've got a pair of floor speakers, they are older and it has the name "Reference KLH" on the front. From what I can tell, it looks to have a 4", a 6", and maybe a 15" or 16" speaker in the cabinet. That is, it has three speakers in there, or drivers, I guess they're called. It's covered by a...

    Yamaha S90 arpeggiator not working, what gives?

    Don't know if this is the right place to post this, but maybe somebody can lead me in the right direction. Basically, the arpeggiator just stopped working one day. Don't know if they are related, but it was shortly after trying to use MIDI for the first time. I have no MIDI cables in it now...

    Fix a WAV, kick is to prominent

    Hi guys, at my church, just for kicks, I recorded a track of our band from the output of one of our channels from the headphone amp. Ya it's lame, but it was really just for fun, I'm obviously not expecting a useful recording. The sound came out good enough for us to give a listen, which is all...

    Electronic drums...

    Hi, our church is contemplating moving to electric drums. Nuff said. Any help would be great, just brainstorm, pros, cons, models to look for, stay away from. Links to videos or audio so I can hear what they sound like would be good. I've heard all sorts of samples from Roland, but there sets...

    Buying snares (the wires), or not?

    Hi all, been a while since I had a question! Here's a simple one. A friend of mine has a cheap-butt little snare that came with a cheap-butt little kit. The snare is some kind of cheap-butt pine or something. However, it's just for kids. Anyhoo, the snare sounds horrible now, he wants to...

    Hello everybody. Here is the deal. I have a laptop, running Cubase LE. I have a Tascam US-122 which is a USB audio device. I have a Yamaha S90 keyboard. And a Eurorack UB2442FX-Pro mixer. I do all my normal recording fine. But now I want to get into MIDI. Since LE does midi, that's great, I...

    Point me in the right direction about EQ after the recording...

    Hi again, been a while since I milked you all for info :) Here is the deal, at church everything is EQ'd to come out the mains, it sounds alright there. But somehow the output of the mixer to our recorder sounds absolutely nothing like the mains. We're not sure if the recorder is screwing it...

    Can't get playback from within Cubase LE for some reason

    Hey I'm posting a screenshot that shows a few screens in cubase: http://www.zacksdomain.com/weblinked/cubaseplayback.jpg In this image, I have pressed play, you can see my system's output is through the onboard soundcard. You can see in cubase mixer that it is outputting a signal. The little...

    More advice needed for buying stuff. A keyboard amp

    My Yamaha S90 will be coming in the next couple days, and a bunch of us are already forming a band. But I need a PA for my keyboard. Its got to be powerful enough to join the loud sounds of the group, but still sound nice without the feedback and distortion. I also want it just for my own solo...

    Recommendation on speakers?

    As some of you may know, I'm buying a Yamaha S90 in the next day or two. So in forethought, I need to be sure I get all the "stuff" with it that I will need. Such as midi/usb cable, audio cable, pedals, whatever. But my question is about speakers. Here's the deal. If I get it as-is, I will have...

    What software to use for notation?

    Sup fellas, I wanted to ask what everybody uses for plain-jane music notation. Simply stuff. Hope I got the right forum cause I didn't know what category to put it in. Let me rephrase the question. I need something for church. Right now, we have singers, guitar, piano, bass. And our only music...
