I record my band on my home comp using Cakewalk Pro & Acid Pro. Most of the stuff comes out damn near pro quality but I'm just missing a few things.
1) when i listen to the songs they dont have that togetherness like on a pro recording. It's like the sound is on a horizontal field, side by side instead of the circle of sound I'm looking for(confusing huh?)

Hi,

I've been searching this website and others because I am thinking about getting a new mic preamp... right now, my choice is between one or two Studio Projects VTB-1's or one RNP... From what I see, a lot of people like the RNP, and a lot agree that the VTB-1 has more color...

I got about 6 to 8 grand and I've been seriously thinking about getting one of these digital consoles

But

Hi folks
I have just bought one MXL V67G. The manual says that is suitable for overheads, vocals and guitars. it is a very cheap mic, so I really do not believe it would do fine in such a variety of different sources/ rec situations.
Anyway, is it better than C300B's and GT55's?
I will be testing for myself in the following months.

Which is your favorite dithering, when going from 24 to 16 bits?
I myself do enjoy Power dither at level 3.
Nice weekend

I am in the middle of mixing a project in which the vocals were recorded at another studio. When they were recorded, I really don't know what bit (16 or 24 or something else) they were recorded at. I do know the engineer dumped the session on CD's (16 bit). Is there something I could do (besides eq, fx, etc. etc.) to make up for those lost bits?

Hi folks!
I guess this will be pretty cool, to meet Mr. Roger Nichols and learn lots of tips!

Anyone own a pair of Dynaudio bm6a? I'm thinking of getting a pair. I had the chance of getting some bm15as at a really good price but I went with a pair of Mackie 824s because they were cheaper (yes I know :roll: ). Now I'm not happy with the flabby low end. I think the bm15a would be too much for my relatively small control room so the BM6A look like a better bet.

I know a big part of this job is going out and seeing live bands, but a few times I've gone to see some random bands and I end up liking one or two of them enough to have the desire to bring them in to a studio and work with them.

After mixing out a song and burning to a CD, it seems like the sound I am hearing on the CD is completely different than that in the studio. I understand the monitors will make a difference but would not dithering from 24 bit to 16 make a large difference in quality? Does anyone have any favorite software for the dithering process?
