I've come to the point that I think it might be pointless for me to keep spending money on gear, and not enough time on training my ears.

I was going to buy another low price preamp (VTB-1) or Moulton Labs Golden Ears. I'm thinking that being able to use my ears more effectively will be the better buy. What do you think?

Has anyone tried out the Golden Ears product?

I'm using Digital Performer right now with a 2408 setup but may be able to purchase Logic Pro very cheaply. I'm thinking of using it for mobile recording and wanted to know what is the best non-Digidesign audio interface to use with just Logic Pro (no Pro Tools involved).

Feel free to throw out any Mac solutions (PCI or Firewire).

TIA

Should I spend money on getting a high quality condenser mic with a with a nice pre, or some really nice pro preamps for my already good dynamic mics? I do hard rock/metal/screamo/fusion rock, and I have recorded a beta 57 through my art prochannel, on screaming vocals, and it sounded good but didn't have that clarity like my condensers have.

Hello - could someone shed some light on the U 87 model differences please?

Thank you

Yes, I realize I will get increased bass response when close-talking a directional mic, but does this proxmitiy effect also increase sibilance? It seems to do so.

Then in looking at the engineering spec sheet on the RE20 at ElectroVoice's website I read the following...

hey people,

i am pretty new to recording. I have recently purchased Sonar 3 producer edition along with a Behringer EUROTRACKUB802.
I am having difficulty getting any sound onto the program.

I have connected the tape out on the mixer into the line in on the soundcard. but there is a very weak signal and very little is getting recorded.

I"m getting ready to buy a compressor and what I want to know is which order would you go, comp, pre-amp, recorder or pre-amp, comp, recorder?
Thanks,
Brock.

I'm setting up a home studio with a 1/2" 8-track (Tascam) and Tannoy Reveal moniotrs. I got everything except the mixer. Any recommendations? I'm leaning to the A & H mixwizard. And also, whats with the great debate over direct outs and sub outs? I thought direct outs were the way to go. I may be using the computer for some demo work too...so I have to keep that in mind.

Hey gang..

I've been researching the type of gear I plan to buy but i've realized that most will be vale type,,

valve mics, valve mic preamp and same with compressors...

Is there a point where there's too much tube in a chain?

does this creat additional noise?

thanks for the feedback ..
