Hello fellow recording folks,

I own/operate/sweep-up afterwards a small remote recording operation way up here in the wilds of Toronto, ON, Canada. Anyhoo, I record exclusively acoustic events for whom ever. I've been running a 2-track business to the tune of 400 concerts recorded in the past 7 years, so I must be doing something right.

I've got about $1400 to spend on mics for a new home studio, and I am considering getting an AEA R84, which will blow about $900 of my budget. I've read many great reviews of this mic that rave about how it sounds fantastic on almost everything. The other option I've been considering is a stereo pair of AKG 414's, which I can get for around $1000.

Up to now, I've been communicating with the tracking room via the PHONES socket on my Behringer Eurorack MX2642A http://www.Behringe…

I brought the Mxl v63, i plugged it into my mixing to my laptop where i record in Bias Deck. The sound "Noise" is overbearing and when i sing the sound, sounds far away and horrible. help.. thanks -caleb

I'm not a sound engineer and therefore I do plan on taking my finished project to a professional to be mastered.

However, with music being my growing hobby, I do want to invest the time and money (self-education) in learning more about the mastering process.

Hey guys, i'm fairly new to the Empirical Labs EL-8x Distressor. I really like what I hear so far but I thought it might be cool to have a forum just for Distressor and FATSO talk. There is some pretty cool info I found by searching but you have to wade thru a lot of stuff to get to the interesting tid bits. Just my thoughts.

I've been involved with recordings now for a while... Now I want to invest in my own home studio. I'm trying to make the decision between software or an siab.

If siab, then I'll get a Korg d1600mkII (or Tascam 2488) w/ Acid Pro 5 on the PC.

mine are:
SAWStudio Levelizer
PSP mixpack
PSP master Q
PSP vintage warmer

IMO those are just LOVELY!

Hello! As you can see this is my first time here. From the looks of the threads I have been looking over, this will hopefully be my new audio forum home. I used to frequent audioforums.com, but after a few months break, I returned to find the forums almost empty! anyways...

Hi,
