Hey guys. so right now i have Mac G5, Firepod for my Interface. Im only recording my own rock band.

I was speaking to a guy who does recording and stuff he's in the professional level of mastering etc does it for business money making so he knows his stuff.. but he mentioned to me he has some times up to 250 tracks for one song..

I can't afford a second set of studio monitors. My mixes sound great to me on my monitors and headphones but don't translate to car and other stereos. The vocals get buried and honky. Guitars and Reverbs sound thin and cold. Bass still punches at the bottom doesn't transition very smoothly into the midrange.

Its been a long time since I've posted anything here, but if I remember correctly, you guys are full of good information.

Hi all. I've used Logic 7.0, with a PowerBook G4 1.33 Ghz (1.25 Gb RAM) for the past two+ years to do some simple recording, usually 1 - 2 tracks at a time, maybe a total of 10 -12 tracks when complete. I've used an external firewire hard drive (Lacie 7200 rpm, 250 Gb) with no problems. I've used both USB (Lexicon) and Firewire (Firepod) audio interfaces.

I know absolutely nothing about mics and I'm hoping someone can help me. I have to take a short video clip of kids (one at a time) and each tells his/her name and interests very briefly – about 15 secs. The only trouble is it’s in a school situation which is always pretty noisy.

hello to everyone I am a local baltimore artist interested in improving the sound quality of my music. I have a closet studio. I am most interested in knowing how to get the hissing or the air out of my voice recording. I use a sterling audio mic I think its a phantom series. I dont have any studio monitors just basic I guess computer stereos and I dont know anything about amps.

A thread elsewhere about dehumidifiers inspired me to post this recent observation here...

I just got the M-Audio Firewire Solo box today and it works great on my desktop but on my laptop while the laptop is plugged in it gives off this noise/static. I think it might be a ground loop isolation problem and i have a ground loop isolator from Radioshack but its for RCA connections. I'm thinking I might need a power conditioner. Any ideas?

We're taking a big step in our studio and getting rid of our "not so useful" big audio console. I'm open to any and all advice about this move. We're mainly recording and mixing in the box and we're thinking of going with a nice 16x2 analog summing amp (i.e., the Mixdream XP) and a high-endmonitoring system (i.e., Dangerous Music Monitor ST).
