I record a podcast and I recently got the Behringer xenyx x1222usb to record myself and some friends. I plug the board into my PC, using Adobe Audition.

So, I've read all about compressors, everything I could find. Some of the links I've read I found on this site.

I'm not ashamed to say that there is little that I truly understand about them. And I've never gotten to use a hw unit.

Threshold I get, (I'm trying to recall all the settings) "make up" I get.

When it comes right down to good sound, the mix and master, I personally believe I can get by on most basic DAW platform with good to excellent preamps and conversion.

That fact that I use and discuss excellent gear is because its available to me, and because its also a passion of interest.

Front of House Engineer Jimbo Neal takes us behind the scenes with the Brian Setzer Orchestra, showing how he uses Royer and Mojave Audio microphones to get Brian's live sounds.

Hi folks. It is my first post here. I have been hanging out on other audio engineering forums for many years but this forum looks friendly and non-elitist so I decided to sign up.

I just love Royer ribbons. I just listened to this and am blown away how smooth these piano's sound.

Saw this on facebook and thought that it would solve my current situation if getting some songs recorded with video.

It does both. But is the video really good? I am thinking I might still have to use my Focusrite and record.

Any thoughts?

Would appreciate comments suggestions or alternatives. Im considering switching to UAD Apollo 8 Thunderbolt with all UAD plugins and a new thunderbolt iMac. Presently firewire iMac, Good mics and recording studio. Vocals, acoustics and electrics. Pop country blues jazz

Nice playing on something that looks pretty awkward. One trick pony. Good marketing on this one.
I like the sound.

Hi Folks,

Any advice would be much appreciated.
Have had a pair of KRK rp5 (gen 2) for some years and been very happy with them
One recently failed (bass speaker not working). I am trying to decide whether to send for repair (out of warranty) which will cost £30 carriage there and back, £20 initial fee discounted from repair cost when done or the following options
