I only use a computer 2.0 ghz, dynamic mic and a small home made preamp. I use cool edit to record with the line in of my onboard sound card and fruityloops to compose tha instrumentals. Am I professional level as i think or I'm just getting insane from day to day, Believe me stations in Kenya play my music,done with this set up please advice!

I currently have an analog board and have considered buying a digital board from maybe ebay but I need help in making a decision about which board to get. I wanted to try the Behringer dd3216, a Tascam dm-24, or maybe a Yamaha o1v. Any help would be appreciated. I would spend from $1500-$2000. I have also seen a panasonic board that looks pretty good but I'm not sure how old that board is.

Hey guys. right now I'm running a really awful PC.

1.8 ghz Athlon
Windows XP Home
VIA Chipset
512 RAM

I run Cubase SX2 and my Tascam FW1884. I've been wanting to get a new computer and thought the Mini Mac was tempting.

Do you think it would be decent?

I saw this DAW on ebay what do you guys think - the price seems good - it comes with Cubase SE.

Hi,

New to the forum but been reading it extensively for the past couple of weeks. My mission: To purchase a Mic and Preamp.

I'm not going to ask which ones to get. Those question have been beaten to death here and I've got more than enough great info from all the posts. I just haven't made my mind up yet.

Hello all!

Me and my band have finally decided to do a pro recording. Well the studios are too expencive plus we want to be able to record anytime we want. So now we'r looking for a mixer.

Here's what we have. Guitar, bass, 5 piece drumset (I was thinking like 3 mics for it), and a mic for the vocals.

I hope this doesn't sound like a foolish question but has anyone heard of an Engineer named Alan Douglas. He was the Engineer on Eric Claptons "From the Cradle" along with Producer Russ Titelman. This recording IMO is amazing and I have learned a lot just from listening to the details. It was recorded live at Olympic Studios, London with no overdubs or edits.

Do you guys do all of your eqing inside your recorder or do it outside the recorder? Witch do you think has a better effect on the sound?

Thanks

Right now I need a firewire mic preamp for drums. Im running and 828 but figured I should add a multi-channel mic preamp for recording drums. I was trying to decide between these two . just wanted some input or other ideas - thanks !

I have an mbox and i was wondering if i can get some sort of external mixer so that i can record drums. The mbox has only 2 inputs. I do realize that i would have to mix and pan before recording which stinks. Can anyone help with which mixer to get. thanks
