Hey guys, I just found this site and I'm really happy I did. I could really use some very honest critique of an EP my band self released and recorded. The mastering was done by a pretty well respected guy in the metal community named Colin Marston. As for my band, we're all trained musicians and we've performed plenty of times on recordings...

There's a music event next week that I have to record, and I was hoping to get some advice. There will be about 10-12 channels (3 vocals, guitarist, percussion, and a few other instruments), and we are using a Mackie Onyx 1640i which has a Firewire interface. I have a Dell Precision 6600 PC laptop (8 GB, Quad Core i7, approx 150GB free space), and I'll be using Mixcraft 6 as my DAW.

I have a Roland Tri-Capture interface and Sonar X1 LE software. I have a Shure Beta 57a dynamic mic, an MXL 4000 large diaphragm condenser and an MXL 603s small diaphragm condenser. The 4000 is selectable between cardioid, omni and figure 8 pattern. Low budget, but it has gotten me started. The Tricapture has only one XLR input so stereo Micing is out (I think).

Gentlemen:

I have a brand new Behringer X1222USB. I am trying to use it to mix down into Sony Vegas.

Hello,
I need to record my keyboard sound into garage band. It is a Yamaha Portable Grand DGX-505. It has a micro usb port, a 1/4" output jack. I tried to get a mono 1/4"- split 1/4" audio cable. The cable was a "grounding cable". It didn't work. What do I need and how do I set it up in GB? I would like the sound to be the sound that I am hearing in my headphone. Is this possible?

I just finished this video, using Pro Tools, Final Cut Pro. Any other questions on my recording chain etc, let me known.
Hope you like it, thanks for watching.

Hi all !
I am a newbie in this field. I am buying first gear ever for recording !

I have though of buying Scarlett 2i2 USB Recording Interface which I think fits best in my budget and goes well with WIndow .
Now I am looking for best mic within 100$ to go with my interface. My purpose to record voice-overs (not singing) for Indian langauges.

Hey guys, I'm new to home recording and need some help...

Hey all!

This clients request is new to me... ARRGH!

I have a pretty simple set up at home. I use a Zoom H2 to record my wife's vocals, and I'm using Mixcraft as my DAW. I play an acoustic guitar. We have only one mic.
