I have a non powered mixer (its a fostex 450)/ http://geeks.lockergnome.com/photo/fostex-mixer-1 Is there a) a way i can set this up so that I can use all 3 speakers,...

yo I have a 70s fender twin that has been modded out....the vibrato channel has been blackfaced and the normal channel has a "marshall mod" to it (not sure what exactly that means, but thats what the guy who sold it to me called it and the gain sounds sweet). When he did the modding he unhooked it f...

hey yall i have a fostex 450 (8 track non-powered mixer) for my 8 track 1'4" reel to reel. I am going tomorrow to look at a 6 channel powered mixer. One of my main desires for getting a second board is to do a recording session putting up a bunch of drum mics, running them thru the 6 track and being...

yo. my budget is gonna be $2k The album I want to record is alot of acoustic guitar and vocals, but also bass, drums, other random stuff. I want to improve my studio in a general way, especially just from a fidelity standpoint. My studio is pretty raw.... I have a Fostex 80 1/4" reel to reel (7 trac...

hello. the year is 2012. i need to get a computer so i can buy and run protools. It would be cool if it was a good enough computer that i could also run final cut pro and also protools on the same computer, one day. What computer should i get (pc not mac) that is the best mix of cheapest and best co...

if i go into the 4 track with a quarter inch instead of an xlr it bypasses the pres completely or just to a greater degree?

are the pres on the 4 track controlled on the trim control, but not the volume fader?

yo so I bought my first preamp today, cause i am going on vacation and i needed something with phantom power so i could use a nice mic on a 4 track. the dude at the store explained to me that i should go Mic --> preamp with an XLR cable, and then go from the preamp ----> 4 track with an XLR -> 1/4" ...

hi i dont have that much gear, so i have been recording a drum kit just with 1 figure 8 ribbon mic (Electro Harmonix EHR1). I place it kinda over the top of where the drummer sits, with the figure 8 pointing left and right, essentially. The mic picks up the pieces of the kit real nice, but it def so...

well....i did in fact get it to bounce! thanks for the replies. if i was smart I would have written how i had everything wired, cause i think its gonna take me an hr and another bottle of wine to figure it out again next time i try, but i guess thats what you call good practice. It was funny tho, th...

alright so completely different now...i still cant bounce, and Im trying to figure out how to do it just using the sends and recieves. (ive got a buddy coming over one of these weekends, who is gonna be able to show me thru some of this stuff but in the meantime...) (so, im trying to bounce, but thr...

thanks ill give it a shot. I guess the kicker is that I was hoping to run the compressor thru one of the auxs and the reverb thru the other so I could get independent levels for each, and then bounce with that. Without aux returns this is impossible with my board, and what I need to do is chain the ...

hey yall! from the "theres no dumb questions" department.... I am leveling up my recording skills and currently Im at a stopping point where I just cant figure it out.... I have a Fostex 450 mixer. I have 6 tracks of recorded material and I need to bounce some of them down to record more, but mainta...
