So i have a classical CD coming up soon ( i mostly do rock, jazz, country, Emo etc.) I'm trying to do some upgrading before this hits. What I'm curious about is this. I'm considering the API 3124+ and the UA-2-610. Both would be killer for me normaly but how would they fair on say grand piano, cello, violin, string bass etc.

Yes I know I need nearfield monitors. So I am thinking Msp5a's from Yamaha. I have spent soo much money over the last few months on preamps, comps, mics and a new recorder. It is SOOO depressing when I put my mix on any speaker besides the stupid BOSE wave freakin radio It sounds like it was recorded through a 1 inch layer of mud! AGHHH. (y)

Does anyone know of a really good time compress algorithm to preserve pitch? I might just write my own in MATLAB, but if something is out there...

We did scratch tracks (pre-demo) for a killer song that is only piano and vocals and it was at 108 bpm. It turned out great, but was done on a garbage keyboard.

ok so i've recorded my drums with the following setup...

kick- AKG d112
snare top - sm57
snare bottom - sm57
hi-hat - AKG c414 tl II
toms - Audix d2
floor tom - Audix d4
overheads - studio projects c4

LOL, this is a cracker, gotta post it.

I remember there was also this goo you could squeeze onto the top of IC's inside your hifi, but this one takes the cake.

Any others?

This is probably not a good topic after all the "equipment matters not" discussion, but what's on your shopping lists?

Here's mine, in no special order.

I want to rack mount my pc.

Not sure if its a great idea, as far as bumps and things that occur on the road.

What I want to do is strip out a van that I can use as a mobile control room so I can record bands either where they practice or at a show. I would rather spend $1800 on mics and snakes and cables than a laptop, although I'm sure I'll move to one in the future.

Hi Everyone!

I would like to ask if anyone can explain the theory, setup and typical application of the Decca-Tree? Over the years this is one technique
I have never employed on location.

Thank You,

hi all

I'm using Cubase sx on a powerbook g4 1.33 mhz. i cant seem to run moer than 2 tracks of audio when i use guitar rig, any ideas of squeezing some more juice from this system?

Hi,

I have sound card Egosys Waveterminal 2496, Behringer pre-amplifier Behringer Eurorack and old mic Shure 565 Unisphere.
I'm not satisfied with sound which I get with this mic, I need it basicaly for rapping (hip hop voice recording). The sound which I get it's somehow deep with to much bass, undefined, I need more middle EQ in this mic.
