Hello all.

I have a $3,000 budget to purchase some new gear and would like some recommendations from you all on gear to expand my studio setup.

If I receive a CD (16bit) to master, I convert the songs to wave files and then "import audio to track" on Pro Tools. Am I doing it all wrong? I recall an engineer doing it a while ago through the "movie" section. Can't figure it out that way. Any help would be much apprieciated! -matt

hi guys, it's been a while since my last post, i knew you were so happy. :x

listen i earned 1500$
and was wondering if if you could give me some advice.

i have 1500$ and i need these:
8 channels preamps.
2 channels of good preamps
2 overheads.

alright. theres a whole lot going on with live mixing, and i'm getting confused with some of it. alright, so you have subgroups and aux sends. which one of these is used to create monitor mixes on the stage? i wouldn't want to use my subgroups to do that because those would be used to create more simpler mixes of a group of things like drums, right?

so ive been using my c4s and i love them. the other night disaster struck as i was using them as over heads and the drummer moved a drum and the over head came crashing down, hit the concrete floor and the shock mount broke in half. ive tested the mic and it works fine. but appart from using JB weld i dont know about fixing/replacing the shockmount. i tried the studio projects so.

Hi.
I'm heading to the states in a week and was planning on picking up some gear while I am there, I live in Israel and the price difference will certainly be worth it. I may have the opportunity to get a powered amplifier, but it will be set for 110V. I'm wary of using a converter. Anyone have experience/comments on using a 110 to 220 converter on an amplifier?

I have a Klark Teknic DN500 which I don't make much use of these days. I want to sell it on ebay or somewhere similar, can anyone give me a rough idea in GBP of what I should ask?

Ive decided to stick to my cool edit 2.0. Adobe behaves as if cool edit is its upgrade, working with adobe is very frastrating, the software keeps on hanging and asking frastration questions, its speed its too slow and 'heavy' damn theyd better think of redooing it I'm yet to compare cool edit and Pro Tools can sometell me some suggestions advice

I want to program my drums, bass, and keys with FL, how do I do that in SEQUOIA, I learned how to do it in SONAR 4, but i cvant figure it out with SEQUOIA. Anyone know how?

I have the Sony C800GPAC condenser studio microphone. i also have the Mackie Digital X Bus. i also have the Echo Audiofire 12 Firewire interface. so my question is that, will it be a good combination?
