Hello Analoggers and Numberjacks,

So I haven't bought gear for my studio yet, and I'm lurking quite a bit here to try to find out information...

First, some quick background:

OK everybody, here's your chance to brag or complain about your DAW. We get a lot of questions on this forum pertaining to DAW hardware as to what works and what doesn't so I thought this might be a good starting point for anyone building a DAW.

Alright so here's my deal. i'm thinking for good sounding kick drum...should i go with a boost of highs in eq and cut in lows and a thin Q sound to get a good punch in bass drum which doesn't rival bass guitar in the mix or should i try cloning the bass drum track eqing one copy really high mid and high for punch and the other copy low end for depth? which technique will sound better ?

Anyone used this mic. Opinions on it for vocals, guitar, etc. Any similarly priced mic that would be preferred?
THANKS.

I have a portable recording business and just had my insurance company tell me that they cannot insure my equipment. If I used a studio and all my stuff was to stay in there then they could write it. Since I am mobile they cannot. Anyone ever have this problem or know of companies that specialize in this part of our industry?

I read some of your advice & found it very helpful.

I just got a dell 8400 loaded. I got the non intigrated soundblaster card for output only.

I bought the emu for all recording. They are having problems and I am very frustrated. Can I pull the sound balster & use the emu alone for everything. I have the 5.1 sound speakers as well.

Hi All,
I'm about to purchase a multitrack recorder. I'm leaning towards the Zoom 1608. One other consderation is the Korg 1600, but the Zoom seems to be more in line with the features I will need/want.

hello its me again,

Anybody mod the Studio Projects VTB-1?

I was wondering if there was anything i could about swapping out, like op amps/tubes/transformers, to get even more out of this preamp. Maybe use Burr Browns and Jensens. Possibley swap the Tube for a Mullard or something. If so do you know the part/model numbers? How benificial has your mod been?

Thanks!
