Hey all,

I just moved to Chicago, set up a humble home studio, and am badly in need of some compensated tutoring. If anyone has the time, patience, and inclination to spend an afternoon showing me the ropes, let me know at alecquig@gmail.com.

Thank you!

Hi all, I've been hanging out in home studios for eight years, and am now taking a crack at it myself. I just built this drum cave in a walk-in closet and am trying to get decent sounding drum recordings. I've read many books on recording, but am still clueless as to how to use compression, reverb, ...

That did the trick, dude. Thank you!

Hi all, I'm very new to this, so here's my really basic question. I have an M-Audio mobile pre running into Logic Pro from a condenser (M Audio Nova) and a ribbon (Shinybox). Should I be able to record two tracks from one take, with one track from each mic? Under I/O, it says "Input 1-2." I have tra...

Thank you! Just what the doctor ordered!

hi all! I have an m-audio mobile pre running into logic to do scratch recordings. I've been using a shinybox ribbon mic, but just acquired a cheap m-audio condenser that sounds much better than what i paid for it. there is only one phantom power button on the pre, and my condenser needs it. will it ...

Thanks for your help, guys! I went and created a profile, but when trying to register online, I don't have a registration ID. I have ProTools LE 7.4 now, but when I open it I get a message saying it can't locate DigiDesign hardware. I emailed Digidesign immediately after making this post and oddly n...

Hey all, In the process of building up his own studio, my friend has shed his ~4 year old Mbox and loaned it indefinitely to lowly ole me to begin my odyssey of learning recording. However, he's a pretty disorganized dude, and cannot find the CD with Mbox Protools that came with the Mbox. He says I ...

Hey, you're in Bloomington IL, I'm in Bloomington IN! Thanks for the help! Anyway: why would I get 996 when I ordered 456? How do I know if those (456 and 996, not 499 and 996) are bias compatible? I mean, if he was gonna send me the right tape on a different roll, shouldn't he have left a note or s...

Hey all! I just ordered four reels of 1/2" from tapetape.com. The guy sounds like a nice guy, but I ordered Quantegy 456, and I got four reels of 3M 996 Mastering tape. To my knowledge I have no way of knowing whether or not this is Quantegy tape, and furthermore, I don't know if it's even really on...

Hey all,

Anyone heard of any good studios in Honolulu? For all kinds of reasons, I'm looking. Would love any knowledge ya'll have.

Thanks!

First off, I'm new here. Hi! Second, the sound of ESG's "A South Bronx Story" on LP has knocked me flat on my ass. I think Martin Hannett is such a m*therf*cker and gets such interesting and good sounds - can anyone tell me a few of the hallmark things going in the sound of the record, simply to sat...
