I am looking for some hypercardioid mics for close micing cymbals. 5 microphones and my budget is $500. The setup is for high hat, crash, crash, crash/ride, and ride. I have Ribbons for OH that I have used in the past (fat heads) but I need a tighter sound for a session 2nd week in august. SO I am c...

I like to start clean, so a client feels like they have not wasted money recording is a facility where they feel they need to squat over the toilet to take a dump. Now with that said, being clean and having studio vibe is two different things. When I book a band I ask that they bring some old show f...

Looking for a distro box to handle 6 headphones. It will be matched with the MoreMe headphones from Mercenary Audio. Specs: # Impedance: 32Ω ?10% # Maximum Input Power: 100 mW # Frequency Response: 30Hz-18kHz # Sensitivity: 105 dB S.P.L. @ 1 kHz ?3 dB I had some bad experience in the past with ...

Ive always used the direct outs for my recordings. But I have slots with covers on them that say they are for multiway I/O.

Is this just something similar to a DB25 cable to go to a multitrack recorder?

It is a soundtrac M series 32 channel 8 buss console.

Thanks

Im moving my studio. Im going to go look at a all open 800 square feet block office with a 10 foot ceiling How much space do you have to record in. Do you think this will be reasonable for a large live room, and a control area? Im going today to look at the space... I will take photos, and post them...

Mic it up with a PA mixer (rent one if needed), Then mixdown to the four inputs. Remember four inputs will not hold you to only four tracks. As for the mic setup... Use your ears. Record drums alone or they will bleed. You can DI a Bass if the drummer needs help, and also run a scratch guitar and vo...

It still powers up. But yes there is noise issues. It is really weird as i think of it. I have the console into my A/D No pres are up everything down....Hit the switch... and sounds like a little high pitch cat pur on power up... the little pops. Now I think of it.... I was getting ready to lay some...

Soundtracs M series.

Its been fine. All the sudden I power it up and all the peak lights are on, and all the meters are pegged. Power supply issue?

Where should I start looking for the problem so I can get this fixed ASAP.

thank you!!!!

First rule: You dont talk about fight club. There are no rules to panning. And dont forget a mix is not just left and right. I always start my mix the same way MONO at 0db. I normally place kick center, then pan my OH's until the kick is dead center in the OH's... I move on from here. I always take ...

The actual term for this is called "Cardinal points panning"

what about trying some new mic pre's? Whats your sample rate set to? Also, try one 57 pointed center cone 1" off of the grill, then a second 57 off axis about 20 degrees pointing at the center cone 1" from the grill. Overdub guitars to add fatness. You can hard pan a guitar right, copy that guitar t...

Get a console. It will save you money in the long run. You can always pick up pre's as you see a good deal on them. Dont be afraid to travel a bit to get a steal on a console. Look around, on craigslist as well as asking on forums. Dont be afraid to go outside of ebay. Buy used, you will always get ...

Im looking at pressing some CD's.

I need to know the best (meaning cheapest) places to go.
There are so many companies out there....

Im looking for a run of 200 cd;s to start I also need the case and 2 page booklet.

And for future reference... what about 7" records?

PLEASE LIST SOME LINKS.

Fat chance on getting away from the 4311's There's a hot water heater behind me. Ive been mixing trying to pop out that bass, But the mix is starting to just sound like shit.... I need to take a step back on this one. Since Im friends with the band, I may have the bass player come in and re-record h...

Thanks for the input. Im mixing on JBL4311's, They are not meant to be used as near fields. Sometimes I push the low end a little hard cause up close its not very present..but if you walk back about six feet or so.. BAM its so heavy.. I need me some near fields soon. I will mess with the bass some m...
