Hey guys,

My recording computer is a quad-core i7 iMac that I bought just over 3 years ago, the day that the 2011 refresh was released in early summer 2011. It has 8gigs of ram and purely solid state hard drive.

When using an Amp simulator in Sonar x3, I have switched the Hi-Z input on my Roland Quad Capture to on, and plugged my electric guitar into said input.
When Micing my amp, I have switched the Hi-Z input to off.
I want to try and use the Emulated Line Out on my amp (Marshall MG 50DFX), to plug into the Hi-Z on my Quad Capture, instead of an Amp simulator.

I've read many threads about best practices when recording grand and upright pianos but my client next week is a musical cast which involves a toy piano on some songs. Ya know, the kind you buy a kid to dink around on? I didn't see anything in here specific to TOY pianos and wanted to ask if anyone had some experience with it.

Hey everyone,

So I recently ran into a serious issue while on a location shoot.

I've never had any signal issues with any of my mics before, but for some reason, I've been getting a strange, periodic popping sound on my ME66. I have it plugged into channel one of my Tascam DR-680 and the other channels are usually taken up by my Sennheiser G3s.

So, I recently saw Paul McCartney live and wept through much of the show. Yes, actual weeping. He closed with the second half of Abbey Road, and I couldn't handle it. Needless to say this has renewed my interest in his work. Anyway, a week ago a coworker who is an audio guy recommended Geoff Emerick's book Here, There and Everywhere.

Hi gang,

Normally I would never bring a topic like this to our community but this is an exception. I think we have a problem here.
Based on what I'm seeing in the News, I cannot believe what I am seeing. Is this really happening and why?
What makes people do this to one and other?

Hi,

I want to share something with people starting out with their home studios that will help them. This could also be a good reminder for more experienced people.

I'm looking to buy my first studio monitor to be connected to my Behringer mixer. I am currently using an active Electro-Voice loudspeaker to playback my music, but I figured it has its own EQ that kind of masks the output from my source. I also have a monitoring headphone, but I find it very uncomfortable if mixing/mastering songs for more than 4 hours.

Hi guys, I made a lot of tests lately to compare the ISA and the 710's preamps. Altought I found a few ways of making the 710 sound good adding to the compressor, the simplicity of the ISA is still a strong side that push me toward selling both units I have and get a ISA828.
