I hope you can take a few min to help clarify this for me. I am new to recording and am trying my best to learn. I am recording into a digi002r/ada8000 using Pro Tools in my DAW. I have the snare, BD, sm tom, Med Tom, Fl tom, lt overhead, rt overhead miced. I have recorded the drums separately from the guitars bass and vocal tracks which were recorded through a GT Brick pre.

Hi all,

I have been looking to upgrade my home sudio setup, and would like some advice from you guys. Firstly, my setup is as follows:

Just wanted to check with you folks on something: I record via the Aphex
Tubessence 107 mic preamp, straight into Sonar via a Gina20 currently. It's
unlikely to change, other than my getting a new sound card. I mix internally
within Sonar, with DirectX plugins, I use softsynths, Reason, etc. When I'm

As of now, I am using a cheap little desktop mic that came with my computer to do my acoustic recording. I'm interested in stepping up to some decent recording equipment but going the cheapest way possible... a "bang for the buck" sort of thing. I'm not sure whether I want to look into a Digital 8 track recorder, or just recording hardware to hook up to the computer.

I've been looking into making a fairly serious home studio for myself. I plan on upgrading my computer to the 3Ghz range, a Gig of ram, and need help with choosing a sound card. I would like to have the capability to record multiple tracks simultaneously at 24bit 96khz, specifically for recording drums/percussion.

I'm hoping to get some advice on warming up and mixing down my recordings. Here is my set up right now, my funds and knowledge are limited so please let me know if this forum is over my head.

hi there. I'm currently building a computer for myself due to the crazy cost of a decent DAW...anyways I need some help on choosing a soundcard for my project...first of all Im looking to run an AMD athalon 64 3700 + san diego and I want to run programs along the lines of reason...cubase...acid pro with small recording and midi support...I definitely want firewire and usb as well. any ideas?

Hi people !
Nice to be here !

I know the best preamps are usually the standalone ones. But the way I see it, if I'm gonna buy a mixer (to provide flexible monitoring options when tracking a band), might as well get the one with the best preamps available, that can always come handy.

We're talking sub-500$ here, 4 mic preamps is sufficient.

Hi folks, want to ask advice, which one is better. I'm goint to buy one of those used, for around 500 UKP. I'm more into electronic music with deep basses and chicky vocals. Sound sources are Akai/Emu samplers, some Logic/VST synths, vocals from Logic, through PreSonus Firebox interface (which i dont have yet :).
