I have a Roland SI-24 Studio Package Pro and will be using Logic and Sibelius to start with.

My computer whiz brother and I are building a pc to be a designated audio machine. This is what we came up with on my budget:

Intel Pentium 4/ 2.8C GHz 800MHz FSB, 512K Cache, Hyper Threading Technology

2 Seagate 120GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drives,

i just got my asus p4c800 deluxe and am considering drive configurations. should i have my os on a raptor with SATA and then my audio drive and video drives ATA? wouldn't having a 10,000 rpm hdd for my os speed up my applications or can i even use a SATA drive in conjuction with ATA drives. thanks for the help!

Just read a review in this moths electronic Musician for 7 Small Condensers- They had among them some mics I never heard of before, Josephson's C42's (USA), Pearls from Sweden and T.H.C.'s from Argentina- Anyone familiar with these?

When I sold my commercial studio and set up a little studio at home I got a set of Yamaha electric drums an acoustic set I though might be too loud for my home studio (well, neighbors, you know who and how they are)

So far we've been rehearsing with our band here with no complaints from everyone and everything thing has been like groovy man, until...

Looking at a set of these for my first real set of monitors. On ebay for @$400. Also considering Yamaha MSP 5's. Thoughts?

I plan on purchasing a marantz PMD670 or a Fostex FR-2 and I'll Be needing a dual channel or 2 single channel battery powered preamps.

Also I'd like to get a CLEAN uncolored headphone amp... My budget would be pretty tight so spending 1300$ on a reference headphone amp is sorta out of the question.

Whats everyones thoughts on how the new album was recorded and how it sounds. Is this the joy of analog? I read an article on the album and read that they were using HD but no word of any tape machines. Sounds like it was tracked to tape then dumped in. Please give me your opinions!

I have no stereo output for my acoustic guitar so what I normally do is record a track in mono. copy it...then bounce the two tracks together, panning one guitar to the left and the other to the right during the bounce.

Hi All. I'm new to the forum. I'd like to get your opinions on Micing techniques for drum overheads. Right now I'm in a good sounding, basstrapped room with C1000's as spaced overheads. I get a lot of mid range trash and not a lot of silky high-end . The ceiling is only 8 ft (problem #1) but it is quite dead with 50% covered in OC703.
Should I be trying some other mics ?

In trying to get a handle on DC offset, I seem to be coming up with more questions than answers.

I have found that the Audiosuite DC offset plugin in Pro Tools seems to do nothing to center the waveform. It offers no control over any parameters, and once a track/waveform/file has been processed, the DC offset remains. Am I missing something obvious here?
