It's plain to see that not too many of us have all the money we need. We all face constraints when it comes to funding our passion, recording.

Ashly SC-66A & SC-63 Para EQ.
How do these compare to dbx 242 or Orban?

On really bad live recordings, there is an "ambient" noise around everything. You can tell it was recorded live. Sounds like all the mics were tracked through a tin can.
Is this the result of poor mics?
I am getting an AW4416, and want to start recording the local bands, do I need to start buying my own gear or get proficient in using the house gear.

hello people,

I'm wanting to buy some studio monitors and i havnt a large budget to spend on them $1300 US. I was looking at purchasing the following:

1. EMES pink
2. EVENT precision 8 or 6

They will be used for mastering and mixing. Does anyone have any opinions on these monitors or any suggestions on other ones in that price range?

Does anyone have any info on the engineer/producer Bob Power ? like what console he used etc.

He was the engineer behind the early De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, D'Angelo stuff.

Im interested in a preamp/eq to use on samples from old records

I have read in previous posts that the Sebatron preamp gives a nice warmth to drum machine/samplers (which is what i work off).

but i often need to eq up the bass in these old recordings or reduce the middle.

I've been running MOTU DP 3.11, OS9, and Battery for 2 years, and getting tired of the lameness that is OS9. Have decided to make the move, step-by-step, to OSX. I'm stuck on step Battery.
