So i just bought a mxl2003 condenser mic and this is the first pro audio mic I've ever received. The "studio" is at my friends house but i wanted to test out the mic. I bought an XLR F to 1/4" analog M plugged it into my sisters karaoke machine and i didn't get any sound. Do i have a bad mic or do I NEED a phantom power source?

i just bought an 828mkII second hand, and until i get the 896 and a new computer, i'm just going to use the 828 as an a/d converter for all my external preamps and amp simulators. but i can't seem to get the 8 anologue ins to go out the lightpipe out, hmmm, and the module didn't come with a manual either, and MOTU wants me to pay 20 bucks to get a manual. .

anyone ever had any problems with these spittin and sputtering breaking up the audio path .. This is the first version not MFII

Hi, I'm trying to record myself playing the piano, but all I have is a Nikon Coolpix Camera, with 8-bit 7***hz mono sound. If you want to see what I did until now, check out DrAsik100 on Youtube, that's me.

I'm not too difficult on sound quality, but if at least I could record in 16-bit and get a 14khz range it would be a lot better already.

Hey there,

I know it's not technically a pro audio thing but my area is mainly making as much noise as possible and I haven't had that much exp mastering.

Basically, my mate just brought round a very hectic rave tape. It's awesome, the only problem is that it's possibly a 5th or maybe 4th gen copy.

Hi there, I've been commissioned to record the new BMW M3 V8 car on set. I have a few questions. Let me first present my production treatment.

I plan to record the car in it's entirety. I would like stationary sound. Passing sound. In-car sound, and lastly, the sound from the outside, while the car is moving [less wind]

On Monday, Wednesday and Friday night I get to do a piano recording of some Beethoven pianos works. The player is a graduate student, the piano is a German Steinway but the room is awful. It is a large Orchestra rehearsal room with very high ceilings, lots of HVAC wind noise and it is located right next to a major intersection and none of the windows are sound proof.

Yello!
