Okey, I got my dream a house where I can have a dedicated studio :)

Heres what I've got now -

Alesis HD24
Tascam DM24
Yamaha AW16G
mics
M-Audio 2496
2x M-audio Tampas
Samplitude 6 studio (I never us it)
KRK RP8s
Wharfedale 8.2A

Here what I want to do.

Hey folks...I'm picking up some fan noise from my PC tower when I'm recording VO stuff. When I fire up Sound Forge 7 to start recording, the ambient noise never goes above -55db on the VU meter...

Hi!

What's the major difference between a guitar cable and a power cable(that runs the power signal from the amp to the speakers)?
The impedance? What should be to both?

Keep on,
Murdock

I have a Boss BR-1600 and want to incorporate my computer in the setup for MIDI, sequencing, editing & mixing.I know the capabilities of what is onboard the BR-1600, but would like to practice performing some of the mentioned tasks in a different environment.I have an old 800mhz celeron.What recomendations does the group have for the software to get.I have a copy of Qbase VST.

I'm currently using either a Peavey Max Bass preamp or RODE NT1 mica into a Yamaha MG 12/4 analog mixer with the separate bus feeding two channels to an Edirol UA-1A A-to-D with USB 1.1 to my IBM P4 PC using Cakewalk Home Studio as my sequencer and digital audio recording program.

I am interested in expanding my home studio. Right now I am using a dell isperion 1100 notebook that is a little over a year old. I am recording on to adobe auditon 1.5 using a generic computer mic. This has worked for my acoustic recordings, but now I am in a reggae band and want to expand the sound and the load of insterments I can record at a time.

Is there anyone who can lead me to a sorce for high quality backing tracks for a solo guitar and singer act? My music type is Blues, oldtime rock and roll, jazz, rock and some country. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you GDR

Over time, I've seen a lot of microphone companies tout their wares as "Just like a M49 only better!" or "A U87 you can actually afford..." but rarely these companies actually have a true hit on their hands. (The Studio Project line being one notable exception.)

This comes out of the "Importance of great monitors" discussion:

One guy's opinion was that:

"The discussion happening here seems to largely consist of people talking at cross-purposes. Surely there are two types of 'monitor'.

1. A reference monitor for giving you maximum info on mic placement, source quality etc.

I'm looking for recommendations for a small hi-quality mixer for doing location work, and hoped to tap the vast experience of the group 8) I want something that isn't going to color my source feeds or add noise of any discernable level.
