Hi! A month ago I purchased the BR-1600CD and am pretty new to recording and such. Anyway, I have a song all recorded, but am having trouble transferring it to CD with good quality. It sounds fine through the machine but when I transfer it to CD and play it on a stereo, there are a few problems. First, it does not play on normal volume levels.

Does a preamp only amplify the signal, or does it add to the sound?
Would it be wise to use some preamplification on all tracks while recording rock songs? This is probably a dumb question, but I really want to know in detail what preamps do since I always hear how mandatory they are for good recordings.

Hi guys,

I am using Soundcraft Ghost as my main preamp for recording of acoustic instruments. I want to improve my the sound quality. I need a very high-endpreamp for most of my acoustic work. For this I short list AMEK 9098 Eq, Focusrite ISA 220, Langevin DVC. Please suggest me the best one for the highest quality.

thanks and regard

First I have tried all of the advice on the Digidesign web site none of it has solved my problem.

ok currently i own a digi001 a Tascam dm24 digital mixer Mackie monitors 624s and cheap outboard gear including cheap pres.

Since it seems like everything is mostly based around the rhythm section or the recording studio here, I'd like to find out what would it take to record a decent brass/woodwind instrument or section (I'm a former saxophonist who had a chance to be tutored @ Tanglewood by world known sax man "Harvey Pettel" during the summer of my high school graduating year) and (this is a question for you sax

I'm starting to aquire a lust for a few vintage keys to add to my arsenal. Top of the list would be a new Mini-Moog synth. Second, a refurbed Hohner D6 Clav. Third, a refurbed Hammond B-3 w/ matching Leslie (for the studio). These 3 are what I'd crave to get my hands on.

Hey, i'm new here, howzit?

I have an m-audio mobilepre (USB) that feeds my cakewalk homestudio. I find that latency tends to be a real pain. after every take, I have to go and re-align by hand so the timing matches up. would this be reduced significantly with a PCI soundcard? I don't want to spend the money if not.

I got this picture of a soundboard thats hooked up to a microphone for recording whatever you want. Can anyone tell me who makes it?

I would like to hear some of your opinions about the many different schools to go to. I am looking for a school that will teach me enough to be able to hold my own in a good sized studio. What school did you go to? If any... thanks for any info. :D
