Hey everyone, I have a question:

From my understanding, you should set a preamp's input impedance to 10 times the amount of a mics output impedance. Is this correct? And, if I decide to try a different input impedance on the pre, could it cause damage to the mic or preamp?

Thanks in advance for the help!

What is the better route? The Digi 002 or control 8 + digi rack? The price is quite similar so I'm quite confused. I'm leaning towards the rack and controller but still can't figure out what I'm missing...

Anyone?

Any good suggestions for good comp for hip hop and r&b's drum tracking. i much like SSL comp sound. so i'm not engineer and just producer & track maker. but i always touch it any project.

Hi all,

I'm new here, just discovered this place!

Hi,

Im in need for at least two more mic preamps. Currently i have 2 Behringer UB's. I was wondering if there is a reasonably priced option that i should consider, and if realistic, wait a little, save up and invest

Any good suggestions for hardware machines for making good hard beats and deep bass for hip hop ? What are anyones thoughts/experiances with rolands mc909? is it worth it for small time production @ home? thanks.

Last week was the NAB convention in Las Vegas. The big news was console maker Neve cancelled and did not attend the show. Otherwise there were few surprises for those interested in recording as most of the attention goes to visual side of the business. Apple did show a new bundle of HD capable software called Final Cut Studio that includes an audio editing application called Soundtrack Pro.

How does Aphex Twin (and other abstract sound and beat makers; Autechre, Radiohead, etc) get the artistic control needed to create his sounds? Ive played with everything from Logic to Reason to Absynth to Battery and all seem to have good things that I like. But I'm missing the piece to put them all together.
