    Best (flattest) Omnidirectional condenser under $100?

    Hey, I am looking for a cheap omni-directional mic. I am about to tune my room, using Ethan W.'s Sonar hz test and it calls for an omni mic. I don't have one. I don't want to spend a lot, but I also don't want it to just be a "throw-away" mic. I may find a use for it someday. Maybe...

    Building a "Quiet" Wall, need some advice please.

    Hey, I am building a wall to separate a large room into a small room and a bedroom. The wall will divide the room, have a door, and both sides of the wall will be used and need to look nice. Most importantly, I want as little noise as possible to go from one side to the other. Simple enough...

    Is there an EASIER way in Sonar to do this?

    Hey, I was just listening to Eminem's song with 50Cent on Encore, and 50 emphasizes each word at the end of a sentence. Along with that emphasis, it sounds like the word pans out both left and right. Now, how I'd do it is cut the word, copy it twice to new tracks, and pan both tracks 100 left...

    Need a Vocal Mic, SP C1 or AT40 series?

    Hey, Since I can get the SP C1 and the AT4040 for the same price, roughly $200, which would be preferrable. I am primarily going to record male vocals. Now, if I could get the AT4033 for say, $50 more, would that be preferrable to the C1 or the 4040? If I find it for $100 more, is it...

    Cheap MIDI switchbox

    What is the easiest way to switch different MIDI devices? I saw a foot controller for $40 at musiciansfriend. Will that do what I want, or can I find it smaller and cheaper? Here's what I plan. My AP2496 only has one MIDI I/O. Currently, my Yamaha DTXpress, my GNX3 footpedal, and now my...

    Best keyboard $300 or under?

    As you can see, I'm not a real serious keyboardist. :D I just need a keyboard that I can throw in my studio and maybe play some MIDI notes into Sonar. I have no idea how to play keyboards, so, I'm not really looking for that. I mainly need a synth that has some pretty good sounds, is easy...

    Mixed down Badly. Newbie needs help.

    Hey, I'm a relative newbie to all this and I finally got around to mixing down a couple of songs. The speakers I monitor with suck, so I know I need to change that. That's not the problem I'm interested in. I am using Vegas and I mixed to one track. I had two songs, mixed them both down and...

    Need Help with Audiophile 2496 connections.

    Hey, What is the correct way to hook up a mixer to the soundcard? Is this the best way to do recording? I have a 16 channel Behringer. I have it hooked up currently, but there seems to be a bit of feedback coming into the mixer from the computer. It's not feedback per se, it's more like the...

    Newbie as it gets with MIDI. :) I have a Yamaha DTExpress drum kit. I want to record beats to my computer. I have a Soundblaster live card. What I have been doing is running the analog out from the eXpress to my computer, but shouldn't the signal be cleaner with MIDI? Or am I way off base...
