3.0 GHZ
1.0GB Dual Channel RAM
200 Gig System Drive, 120 Gig Audio Drive (Maxtor 7,200 W/8MB Cache, Both SATA

Hi,

Right, here's the deal. The other day I bought a dynamic mic and preamp after years of recording with a measly PC mic (lol). I bought a Shure PG58 and Behringer Tube Ultragain Mic100. Yes, maybe poor choices but I dont want to spend alot, and I know that if i ever get it working i can get good results.

I'm a newbie here. great forum by the way. I'm learning the art of mixing "inside the box"( inside of the software). I use both pro tools and sonar. I record straight into PreSonus firepod which has nice pres. I was disappointed with my early test mixes. I can't get vocals to sit in well with the track...any tips anyone?

Anyone used it and can describe their experiences with it? THANKS very much.

A mate of mine has given me some recordings of his band that were done while they were playing live. He seems to think that because I have a few music programs on my computer that I can make them sound like they were recorded in a studio! I said "err no" but I hope I can do something to them to improve the quality ;) They are just general rock type songs.

So, I have the Mbox full bundle (PT 6.7, Sound Factory, IK Media, etc.).

I have been extensivley using/experimenting with the meek compressor, bombfact compressor, and the standard PT compressor plugins. They're OK for some particular instruments, but not very satisfactory.

i have the same problem as this post ; Need Pro Tools troubleshooting help: Odd errors. if any one has any ideas please post!
Or email dj.spaz573@gmail.com

anyone have this? reviews?

What's up RO fam,
I'm new to this forum and have enjoyed reading the different posts and picking up jewels here and there. I'm asking for recommendations from the knowledgeable people here on any upgrades that would enhance what I already own. I mainly work with hip hop artists and record some live guitar/bass here and there. Anyway here's my setup.
