Hello, Haven't been around in a while... Digging out the old stuff, as my son is getting interested in the music thing. I have a Fatar Studio 49, and it says 9V near the jack, but does anyone know what the polarity is, and how many mA? Thanks, Q

Hello, Long time, no post... The other day I was at a Festival, and tried to record a live (and loud) performance using my Digital 8 (Sony DCR/TRV240) camcorder. I was just using the built-in mic. Anyhow, as the band was loud, (as rock bands tend to be...) my sound is quite garbled due to...

So, my Rat Shack meter only goes down to ~50dBA. If I'm working on reducing the noise my PC makes, I'd like to be able to measure my progress. Can I somehow calibrate my recording levels and use a microphone as a sound level meter? Recording Rig: Aardvark DP 24/96 preamp & A/D/A Mics...

I've decided for my next project, I'm going to try to build the equivalent of an IsoRaxx box to house my 2 PCs. I'd like to start with a pre-built cabinet, build another inside it, add ventilation and a door. I've been searching about, but haven't found any websites/tutorials that take this...

Did anyone catch the quote of one Mr. Harvey Gerst, Indian Trail Recording Studio on page 19 of TapeOp #29??? "The MXL 603 - A flat out winner" was the quote. I believe the readers of this forum are the "flat out winners" having Harvey looking out for our best interests, and educating us...

I'm mostly just the engineer on this one... doing a little 'help' in the production. This is a high school age trio my bro and I recorded in bro's basement. I did the mix. There was another thread in here a while back with more info... info on this thread: Evaluate Queue's Mix of High...

Background info: My brother has a basement full of equipment... (he's 40) There's a band in his hometown that is 3 kids in high school. I hope I didn't misclassify them, you listen and tell me. They come over to my bro's every now and then and record. I dropped in on their last session...

So, I undocked my mixer window. Now it is gone. Anyone have a magic keystroke to "redock all windows"? I've tried Alt + 3, focus seems to change away to somewhere... Queue

It has now become standard for me to be saddled with the task of creating a compilation CD to be added to the "Goodie Bags" passed out at my Twins' Birthday party. (They turn 6 this week). The kids (and Mommy) give me the song list, and I begin ripping and burning... This year Mommy added...

So far I've tried: ECS K7S5A, AMD XP 1700+ with an Aardvark DirectPro 24/96 Win2K Pro, Aardvark Beta 4 drivers WinXP Pro, Aardvark Beta 5, logging version Both combinations produce a faint high pitch whine in my left channel.... :mad: The same hardware with WinMe and the 5.14 Aardvark...

I'm building a new machine... I'm doing it slowly, cuz I can, and cuz it might become an audio only rig, networked to my general purpose rig. The basic setup (so far) Enlight 7237 ATX case Premier ATNG 300W AMD approved, PIV approved PSU ECS K7S5A AMD XP 1700+ 256MB PC133 SDRAM (Generic) WD 30...

Here's a little Christmas ditty sent to me by Chris Ballew. He's the former frontman from the Seattle alterna-grunge-power-pop trio "The Presidents of the United States of America". (The "Lump","Kitty", and "Peaches" guys...) He is a Home Recording/DIY nut since his pre-presidential days...

Okay, I've mixed this song so many times... It is called "I Hate the Rain" and my kids and I made up the initial song this 4th of July weekend (it rained a lot). This is an internet collaboration done over at Collaboration Central. Two of the contributors are people I recruited from here...

So, they're not out yet, but these puppies look sweet. This'll shake up the ~$500 monitor market (if it doesn't completely take it over...) A review I found at ProSoundWeb of the Mackie HR624 Active Nearfields Queue

I don't think I've listened to this CD before through my monitors. Is this an amazing piece of work? I'm floored at all that's going on. Time -> Great Gig in the Sky Wow... Queue

So I was surfing about and found this place. It's in German, but you'll get the idea from the pictures: http://www.abelsson.com/tystdator/ I was linked there from this place, full of great tips... http://www.7volts.com Queue

In case you didn't notice all the static over in the Sound Forge forum (Mastering in SF.) A little pissing match evolved from a debate about DIY "Mastering". Go to that thread if you'd like to get all the history. Anyhow, we have 3 versions of the same song, one being the original mix...
