I need to record a recital for a rock n' roll ensemble in a bar situation for a music school. I'm doing this for free to get my name out there. I was planning on using a XY stereo setup centered between the mains and in the middle of the room. Is this a good approach? Suggestions Please!

Kurt,

Great review on the VMP 4000e. with a US price of $1497.00 for a quad pre..

Also to all:
take note that Sebatron is offering a 2 channel version called the VMP 2000e and it's going for $850.00 USD . an equally unbelievable price for a 2 channel/stereo tube pre.

great job Kurt

Would I be correct in saying that the ideal control room environment would be one in which the sound is effectively projected through the mix position and then absorbed so that only the origional signal is heard by the engineer? In this case would any treatment really be required at the front of the room other than angling walls and ceiling to avoid reflections into the mix position?

Hi friends!
Following the same idea presented in my other post, now I would like to see your comments about
Equalizers. below, the list of "candidates":

1) bomb factory Pultec EQP1A
2) Focusrite d2/ d6 red collection
3) TC EQ SAT
4) Waves Q series, in this case Q6 to keep things in the same boat.

Hi friends. I have to be honest that I am asking the same question at the DUC also.

first of all, I would like to have your opinions about compressors. Which one(s) do you think have provided you better results with specific recording/mixing techniques and different instruments and voices.

Hello-
This is an incredible site by the way-1st time here.

I have been asking this quesion on some other websites and getting a ton of helpful info but each answer has been confusing me more.

As you all know, we here at RO have been hard at work putting the Recording.Org E – Magazine together. We would like to invite you to take a look. Thanks, Kurt Foster / RO E Magazine Reviews Editor

The Korg D1600 is one of those all-in-one units for recording, mixing, CD burning.

Has anyone had the opportunity to try out the MOTU 896 interace on a PC? I have heard about driver hasles and wanted to hear some other opinions.

Are there any other interfaces on the market that give you the same front panel control and 8 mic preamp's in one unit?

Well... I'm very happy with my ANUS-DAW... and I've been using it mainly with software synths and software sampler... and audio of course.
Now it's time to involve all my real synths and drum machines. But my midi-interface ( MidiSport 2x2) is not enough, I need more in/outs.(4x4 or 8x8)
