Keeping the mic out of the space directly between the ceiling and floor can keep standing waves minimalized as well. How is this possible in an indoor environment? easy. Discect the distance from floor to ceiling into 3rds. You want be closer to the top or the bottom of the center section so the re...

I'm in for 2, and I can pay. (Cheap, right? :)

I've been looking for something like this just to start learning some basic processes before jumping into what I think will be some easy repair jobs. Then maybe some more demanding DIY pres one of these days.

Yeah, but they were patriotic, weren't they?

And they did bear a Zildjian logo. Cut from a bumper sticker, perhaps? :)

I was at a party where they were actually interested in the game, so I couldn't hear much, but I do remember thinking the mix was bad at first - BV burying the lead - but then it seemed okay later. I may not have heard anything "right", though. Volume on the TV (who doesn't have some sort of surroun...

New desktop machine advice

I'm looking for a new box to do my recording on, but need to do it inexpensively. My main question is: what types of expansion do I need to prepare for? I'm a Mac guy, and had a PreSonus Firewire 8 input device that I hope to replace soon. I currently have a USB device only, but want to be able to g...

Here's my 1/2 cent worth: If you are gigging and selling it there, spend the $250 for another set of ears. You owe it to the customer. If you are gigging and giving this away to give people a sample, spend the $250. Otherwise, it may be an accidental deterrant to would-be-fans. You owe it to yoursel...

Re: Jury rules against Minn. woman in download case

ok my understanding is that artist really don't make too much money on their record sales. they make money on tours. the people who do make money on cd sales consistently have already made their money. bands like the stones, MJ, the beatles, etc. Your understanding is not at all accurate. I'd go mo...

Makes it a no-brainer to me. If it had been my grandmother's, I'd keep it for sentimental reasons. Mine? No.

You can create a project template in Reaper with a channel armed for record, so that all someone would have to do (assuming the routing and levels don't change) Is open up a shortcut and hit record and then stop. That would be pretty nice, and is exactly the kind of shortcut I was looking for. I'll...

Okay, so are there any tricks to setting up a default recording setup with just the single audio channel so as not to confuse those who will (hopefully) be filling in when I'm not there? I'll play and figure it out, but any shortcuts or pitfalls to avoid? I have about two months to play and get thin...

Low profile recording app

I'm looking for a basic recording app with a very small digital footprint so that I can record sermons at church on the same computer as running PowerPoint. I know, the best solution is a seperate computer, but due to limited space and... actually, just limited space. I have a recording rig, and acc...

I love mine, but wish I could get a mod for a few channels. There was a thread about this not too long ago, but it never went anywhere. Anyone thinking about it now?

I'm a Sibelius fan as well. My only problem is that I don't like stripped down versions of anything, and the full version is 5 bills. But a great system to use. I never really gave Finale a good shot, because Professional Composer from MotU was easier when I first tried Finale. I know Finale got bet...
