I’m still at least 3-4 years from completing my studio build (I have a build thread under Studio Construction) and as I get closer I need to begin making some concrete choices about my recording + mixing setup. I've used Nuendo from the start for more than 4 years now. I’ll try to keep focused and concise but I think my quandaries are closely interrelated between 2 dilemmas.

Hello everyone!

How good are the various FW cards for PC slots?

I have a good, fast machine, but there's no FW interface on it, and I have access to a few pieces of gear that use FW as the connection that I'd like to try.

I have some old ysm1 from Yorkville and wonder if the Yamaha would be upgrades or not..

Hi guys, i plan on buying 2 Tannoy 502s and a sub ts 2.10, my question is, how do i connect all that to the pc? Do i need a sound interface like, for example, Focusrite Scarlett 2i2? That one or a different one?

I'm looking at getting 3 LSR6332s to run as the LCR in my home theater. I'm wondering if anyone here is using these monitors and if so, what are you using to power them? Thanks in advance.

for years i've used three JBL 4412 speakers across the front and two JBL 4410's for surround. i've always been very happy with this setup. now, however, i'm in a slightly smaller space and can't position the 4410's correctly for surround. there just isn't enough wall space for a proper mounting. i need something a bit smaller.

Hi,

I've only noticed recently that the Studiotips Acoustics forum seems to be permanently offline.

The studiotips website is still up though. link removed

Does anyone know if there are plans to bring it back as I know many of you here took part there?

It's been a long time since I set up a Blumlein pair.. I did so this morning for an acoustic guitar track I've been working on for my latest song.

In the past, I'd mostly used Mr. Blumlein's invention on orchestral stuff, small ensembles, strings, horns, etc.

I am a drummer and trying to record some decent drum tracks on my laptop using Audacity. I have SM57 mics in each channel and a RCA to 1/4" T cable coming out of the mixer REC OUT and into the mic jack on the laptop. The sounds is pure crap, which makes me think the recording is actually the built-in condenser mic? This is my first attempt at this and I might be out in left field?
