So I've been mixing my bands various demos for about a year now and had been mixing on a pair of klipsch computer speakers before I actually got into this stuff, now a pair of KRK V6s.

No plugins or ediiting needed, I plan to transfer recorded tracks to my home PC DAW for editing. I simply want something mobile to record 8 tracks max at 44.1/24bit (for drums, guitar, bass)

Can you get away with 256 Meg, less than 7200rpm harddrive, and 400 FSB? A low end Inspiron 6000 Dell selling now for around $600.

Or am I being too much of a tightwad ? :)

OK - I finally broke down and bought an RNC based on all the rave reviews in and about this site. I tested the unit out on my Drum Bus - There was an immediate and very noticeable hype in the high end and the low end all but dissappeared. Anyone else have this same expereience? I know enuf to understanding that different settings will have an effect on freq.

hey,

i know some of you will say that i should invest more money into it but that s all i have at the moment

hi, i was wondering if anyone had any mic recomendations or techniques for capturing low end vocals.

i just can't seem to get it!

any tips on getting that low end nice and full, like all those expensive records out there? like, is there anything you guys do specifically to make it happen?

Any one notice the low end distortion on John Mayer's latest CD?
It sounds like it's just the drums & only the Matt Chamberlain tracks.
Chamberlain told me they used a woofer/mic to record the ultra lows
but there's a clipping sound as well it seems.
Listen to "Home Life" especially.

I'm a just out of school engineer and a first timer on the site. I've got a small project studio in the works. I decided on a Mackie sdr24 for tracking, digi01 for editing and possibly mixing. What I wanna know is how much difference in quality for tracking is there between MX900 and Mackie 24x8. Price is 1300 vs 2600. Is it justified?
