recently i ordered a couple of Audix 15 fussion mics to use them as overheads for drum recording. the thing its that there seem to be a confusion with the order and they sent me a couple of i5's (they mistook the 1 for i) so i did research on the mic and it seems to be compared to the sm57. so my question is.

am i going to get a very undesired sound if i used them as overheads?

I moved my studio into a smaller space and I am having severe difficulty with the noise from my computer. I tried to build a barrier covered it with auralex foam and stuffed foam all around my computers and I can't get the noise level from the computer down far enough.

So i have been trying to weigh my options.

Hi all. I'm new to these forums, but I have a question I've been dying to get answered. So, I'm a Mac user. Right now, I'm using a brand new eMac (which is like an older iMac, not a tower), and I record at home on a regular business.

Anyone done this?
Does anyone have the remo practice pads---cause if you do-----I have a lot of quesrtions

I really want the cheaper one(828mk2).. can anyone help me decide, what is the big difference, in stability, noise (heard a lot about power supply noise on the MK2). I know the 896HD has 8 preamps and the MK2 only has two, this is one of the main reasons i want to 896HD the most.

I purchased an Alesis ADAT machine a couple years ago and now would like to transfer my files to my laptop either by firewire or usb. Unfortunately everything I find is over $200 as it has a bunch of inputs (1/4 and xlr) which I dont really need.

hi...
can somebody understand the dillema of a gear junky pre libido..
ive been fantasising about the Mackie onyx 1620 mixer with firewire I/O to set up a small studio...everythings going fine..the reviews are rocking...! the gear looks and feels and sounds smooth, and affordable..

Hello.

I have a pair of Neumann KM84i's. They are marvellous ofcourse, but I need another pair. Imagine this, I'm recording a grand piano in a church. I'd try the KM84i's in the piano, and this other pair for the ambience. If I feel like it, I might try the other pair (that is possibly a bit brighter) for the piano, and KM84i's for the ambience.
