hi guys,

I hope I can post this in this section.

Does anyone know what kind of equipment the studio, "Compound Recording" in Seattle uses? For some reason their website isn't working. I just bought Anberlin's CD, "Never Take Friendship Personal," and I think the sounds on the CD are really great. Thanks for any help, guys

Hello:

I am pretty much a newbie to home recording. Recently I put up my first web site which led to an interest to high quality recording. So...after recording several tracks at a friends home studio the first piece of gear I got "sold" on was a Manley Dual Mono Mic Pre...

My question is. what do y'all think of my first home studio equipment list, any suggestions.

hey peoples...

I have heard tube pre's described as "starved plate" or "fake tubes" at times... is starving a plate or whatever inside a pre a way to get tube emulation? and if it is a starved plate design will it actually advertise as real tube technology? is this something I need to be cautious of? even if it isn't, I'm still curious, please clear the fog for me :lol:

thanks in advance

Re track 25 "Bonger Test" on Chesky JD37 audiophile test disc, recorded by Bob Katz:

When played, even at low volume, I can hear distortion (clipping) in the -3 and -13dB tones. When I extract the audio file to my hard drive and examine with an editor, I can clearly SEE the clipping. (FYI, there is no clipping on track 26, the Bonger Test created with "standard A to D.")

I'm using Cubase SE at school for one of my GCSE compositions.

Has anyone noticed that the same mics appear in a lot of rock videos. This is quite interesting, as I've seen several videos on MTV that feature those 'spontaneous' recording sessions with U87s for example on tracks that I just happen to know were recorded with different mics. Of course you see a lot of SM58s as well, but I can understand that if people want to get a sort of 'live' look.

I have the Zoom PS-04 digital recorder.*Without using a computer*, can I use a CD copier to burn the work from the PS-04 straight onto CD? I'll appreciate the help. :?

I'm a Cubase sx 2 user and I have a Tascam FW 1884.
