My question for everyone w/ any experience (opinions) When you mix a song in a DAW do you keep the tracks mono or create stereo single tracks? I have been mixing w/ all stereo tracks by creating stereo image wave files. So basically I go through all the tracks of the song make them stereo mixdowns and some light processing.

I want to purchase a macbook, which has only one firewire port. I know that 5400 RPM hard drive speed is a little slow for recording, so I want the firewire port free for an external hard drive. I also want to buy a TC electronic Konnekt 8, which is a firewire device.

I'm planning on getting a laptop for school in the fall and ive been told you cant upgrade the soundcards or anything.
I'm using the Behringer eurorack FX mixer with the nady drum mic kit.

Hey I'm recording a band for the 2st time ever on thursday, i have a PreSonus firepod (8 mic preamps) and an apple laptop with logic express.

What i was wandering is could anyone give me sum advice on Micing up drums, i know guitar amps you place the mic on the edge of the 2 cones but am clueless about drums.

I know this is a different subject than recording, but i'm having a hard time finding help with this problem. back in the day i used to sequence from my old Korg 01WPROX and simply run the sequences from there. I did the same for a short time when I upgraded to my Korg Triton. Shortly thereafter, I began dumping my sequences to a mini-disc player.

I direct a school orchestra, and want to make recordings for the kids of their concerts. Currently, I have a superscope CD recorder and want to upgrade my mics and get a mixer involved.

What could I get for under $1500 to make good recordings of my orchestra.

I figure that I will add in the future, but for now, just keep the mics on a stand out in front of the audience.

Hi all, I'm new to this forum so bear with me.

I have a max budget of €6,000 to buy a relatively decent home recording set up.

I'm a songwriter but want the option of recording live drums. You can check out my choons at http://www.myspace.com/briandunlea. These were recorded with a Boss BR900CD.

Hi Everyone.
