Hello,

First, I'm a recording newbie and humbly bow to the experts who will read this post. I'll probably use wrong terminology for some of this, so please bear with me.

I'm trying to find the best tape recorder (cassette recorder) for recording voice audio (without breaking the bank!).

Well i want to record My flows wit a background. What programs do i need and equipment that is cheap? like waht kid of mic what kind of sound card?
greatly appreciate it?

does any body know the release date for cubace sx3?

I recently added a SonicStudio HD system to our mastering room and I am seeking some suggestions for a brickwall limiter. I've currently got an API 2500 compressor which offers some nice old school character but I really need a decent sounding limiter. Unfortunately the local shops are no help since the salesmen typically don't use the gear they're selling.

I recently worked with a band that brought their own e609 silver. I used it on guitar (though I'm usually just a 57 guy) and it sounded great! So I looked into purchasing one for my studio and noticed there is obviously a 609 and a 609 silver. Does anyone know the difference? Sub-question---- What sounds better?

I have a consumer CD recorder (Pioneer) and I once took one of my finalized CDR's into Best Buy and some of their players would not play it. Has anyone else ever noticed this problem and if so what's the deal?

A 1.8 iMac G5 is the same price as a 1.8 PowerMac G5. As far as I can tell, the specs are identical, save for the exapansion slots in the powermac. 2 questions:

1 - Would the imac match the tower in performance in regards to audio?

2 - Does anyone know if the imac is as quiet as I hear the powermac is?

OK, i'm finally going to build my own studio in part of a warehouse. my space is 30' x 30' i'm going to have a control room, 2 small instrument rooms, and a large band room (mainly for drums, and the whole band to stand in, with their amps obviously in one of the other rooms.

what kind of material would you use for the Drum room, Instrument room A, and instrument room B?

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS. is it possible? i'm sure it is. i just need to know what funky settings i need to change. I'm using cool edit pro 2.0.

So I'm considering a new desktop that will be primarily, but not exclusively for audio. Right now I use my laptop for everything. Last time I looked into this I was figuring on an Athlon 3200+ (Barton) on a mobo with Nvidia Nforce2 chipset and matrox 450. Should I be considering an Athlon 64? FX? Pros, cons? Cost differential. All opinions welcome.
Thanks,
JTC
