markjazzbassist, we are in Chardon. As for budget, I am trying to push for buying a pair of substantial subs. For now, we have to use the mix of existing gear we currently have. 2 EV SX500 2 Mackie SR1530's 2 RCF NX 32-A We plan on mounting these in the walls on either side of the stage. We can vary...

I know this is the Creative Recording forum, but I'm sure there are folks out there with some experience with this sort of thing. :D I am a studio engineer with limited live sound experience, just your local bar band kind of thing. A theater group I work with just got their own space, an old movie t...

I am helping run sound for a house of worship and they have a nice small setup but lack compressors. Performers vary and there are at times 5-6 different singers of various tones and dynamic ranges. There is no efficient way to create an input path for each person, it has to be a one size fits all s...

I didn't think about testing the outlets, I will absolutely do that and post my results. In the meantime, I tried Drone's suggestion; ungrounding the xlr did the trick! I think I will make some ground lift xlr's with the capacitor inserted for high freq rf stuff. Fortunately the place is pretty quie...

I have a room for rehearsal, relatively new construction, built about ten years ago. I have two powered mackie thump th-12a's. When connected one by one to my alesis 12-s mixer, each is nice and quiet. When they are both connected, I get a buzz unless I connect them to the same outlet . Sounds like ...

Thanks for the input. It seems that police stations or others in the medical field would be doing this. If i could make a perfect solution for this sittuation it would be record split screen and thats it. Not sure why they need to see therapists face but i suppose as a teaching tool non verbal commu...

So this is a video question but I can't think of a better place to ask than TapeOP message board, thanks for any help. I have been contacted by a Behavioral Health provider who wants to be able to record therapy sessions that are conducted by intern clinicians. The sessions are to be reviewed by lic...

I am finishing my basement and I am putting in an area for recording/practicing. My space size and location are dictated by the rest if the space so my options are limited and so is my budget. It will be a challenge but I have realistic expectations and I don't expect the moon. The space is about 8 ...

I just bought a used ADAT for $130 including shipping. We'll see what "works great" really means. And then of course, here's to hoping my tapes playback! I think I will try punching in a test tone on all 8 tracks before the beginning of a song. Hopefully with the punch point set all of the tapes wil...

I have a bunch of old ADAT tapes I recorded with my friends in college. There are about 6 sessions on 16 to 32 tracks of ADAT. I am considering buying a used ADAT to try to archive the audio to the computer. These recordings are from 1994-1996, but they have been stored in a box in my air conditione...

My friends at a local Mental Health Center have asked for my advice for a device to record their board meetings. I don't have the answer so I thought I would ask here. They have a conference room with an 8' ceiling and a 10' wide conference table. They do not want to have any microphones on the tabl...

I hope this is an ok place to post this question/scenario. I am hooking up a Korg DTR-2000 guitar tuner. The signal flow is guitar to volume pedal. Volume pedal out to amp, volume pedal tuner out to tuner. Simple right? Then why do I get a weird ringing that sounds pretty much like feedback? If I di...

I should have used a different word than compression, I am looking for an archive tool like winrar or stuffit, but I thought I read somewhere that they either didn't change the file size much or could lose audio data; does that sound right?

Hi TapeOp gang,

I am constantly transferring project files across the internet and I am looking for a good file compression program that works well with audio files. Not to be confused with a compressor, those are a lot more fun

My wife wants me to buy her a gizmo for her iPod that is supposed to remove vocals from a song. I doubt anything does that great of a job, but I have also seen some plug-ins that do the same thing. I am not looking to spend a fortune on it, but would rather have a plug-in then an iPod accessory, the...
