Hi all, I've been looking for a while now at some solutions to provide DAW control of Pro Tools 9, and also a larger audio interface.
After looking through various combinations of control surfaces and I/O boxes, I thought maybe a digital mixer would be better, and have been looking at the...
Hey, looking to get my first neumann mic, but really need to keep the price down. The primary purpose is recording trumpet, but would also like something that's useful for vocals, perhaps piano?
So far the choices are:
TLM 102: $799
TLM 103: $1,699
KM 184: $1,200
Any thoughts? For the primary...
Hey, I noticed that you can buy ALPS motorised faders direct from them and was wondering if that would be a viable replacement for the noisy faders in the BCF2000? If so, how? Any other suggestions on how to make them quieter?
Sorry to start up ANOTHER monitor thread, but i've spent ages searching through threads and couldn't find a definitive opinion between these particular two monitors. I can get them for the same price here, so which should i go for? Note that it will be a while before i could think about adding a...
Newbie question about wiring...
In an XLR balanced cable, I understand that the two core wires carry the signal (in opposite phase?) to cancel out interference induced in the cable (since both would be affected the same way, right?). SO! for the ground/shield part, what kind of electronics...
I went to the m-audio site to download drivers for the Midisport 1x1, and it says that Vista 64bit (SP1 and 2) don't need drivers, they're class compliant. However, windows can't recognize it without a driver (all it recognizes is a "unknown device", when it should apparently be a "USB Audio...
Hey, one of my friends gave me a CD he recorded of a local big band, on some wide spaced NT-5s and said CAN YOU MAKE THIS SOUND BETTER? He's not a brilliant engineer, and the mic placement and room were pretty bad as well. Now, I know bad in = bad out, but for a purely academic exercise, i...
For any modern jazz or fusion listeners out there, often on live gigs the kick drum has this HUGE fat, punchy sound, that i don't hear very often on records. Is there a reason that it is not generally recorded? And how do I get this sound! For some kind of idea what i'm talking about see...
Today for a bit of fun i miked a grand piano with an NT1-a and a custom SDC (Think NT5 bred with NT3) on the top (nt1a over where the strings cross, the other on the higher trebles) but i also miked from under the soundboard with two nt5s. With these sounds combined, panned hard accordingly, the...
Ok, so half the fun in tracking is mic choice/placement, so i thought i'd look for what some other people would do-
Here's the situation: I have a session coming up with a rock group (not too heavy, although not pop). I usually record jazz, but i know a fair bit about rock recording. Just...
Somone local is selling an old Soundcraft Spirit Live 24 ch mixer - Supposedly with routing problems and unreliable LR out and 2 dead chanels. As far as i know, the model doesn't have direct outs, but if i dismantled it somwhat could i route the pre outputs to a TS socket and just use the...
