iv been looking into 8ch preamps to replace my 2ch mbox2 and i first came across the firepod, which seems perfect for me, but recently i discovered the saffire pro10 by focusrite. the firepod is 100euro cheaper but iv heard the Focusrite preamps are better quality. can anyone compare the two for me maybe of give me some insight on the saffire pro?

hi,

I'm just curious if anyone with a home studio makes their living off of it.

I'm about to buy my first house (stoked on that, first of all!) and build my first OFFICIAL studio (even more stoked on that!)

So I'm just wondering how you guys are doing. I don't really plan on making all my money from this, but hey, if I could that would be great.

In the past I collaborated on making an instrumental with another person. This was a sample-based instrumental that I have not attained clearance for. I created a beat and the other person basically just slowed it down and changed the drums. He had one of his friends record on it and it turned out great.

I want to replace the stock tubes in my dbx 386. My web search attempts have come up empty so can anyone advise? (make, model of tube)

thanks!

I have to record my next classical solo piano recital (Mozart, Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninoff) in a small-medium sized church, in which reverb could be a problem.
The piano will be a steinway concert grand and I have at my disposal 2 Neumann km 183 (omni) matched, 2 schoeps cmc5 mk4 (not matched) and 2 schoeps cmc5 mk 21 (not matched).

Hi Guys,

My question is mainly in regards to spaced pair.

The more I read about OH drum Micing the more I read that both mics should be the same distance away from the snare drum to avoid any phasing problems and keep the snare in the centre of the stereo image.

First off sorry if this is in the wrong place?

Now I'm just wondering is there anyway to make live recordings sound like studio recordings. Because i have a whole load of live recordings i want to make a clearer sound to. but I'm not sure how. is there any software or tips you could give me? it dosn't have to be perfect just cleaned up if you know what i mean?

i was just wondering, if anyone can tell me, why it is that the recordings of the 70's sound about as good as what were hearin today. whats the common denominator in it all. Is it the room? I mean we do have better equipt. now right?

Whats up to the people of the forum. I have quite a detailed question that may take a lot of explanation. If anyone can offer tid bits of info or talk for days, its all good, I just want to be sure I am getting the most of out the equipment I am working with. So here it goes:
