Is it possible to do a great sounding mix using only headphones? If yes then:
1) Which headphones to use?
2) What are the key issues to be aware of
3) Any tips?

tnx,

Hi,

Hi people.

I set-up my (rather small) studio back in 1998 with assistance from a charity that specialises in helping young people set-up in business: The Prince's Trust (as in HRH The Prince of Wales).

does anyone have an opinion as to who has the most comprehensive and highest quality midi catalogue for theatrical and popular backing tracks ?

I am wondering if anyone knows more info on this mixer. It's a TAC (Amek/TAC)...
Got some pictures up here:

I don't know the model name, other than it says 28x8x2.
I have no clue, maybe one of you do?
Opinions on it?

Howdy all
I have set up my anus p4pe and it is running fast and nice.

a couple of (I hope) small problems.

1.) I get this message on boot up.

"Hardware monitor found an error. enter power setup menue for details. Press F1 or del to enter setup."

when i enter the power setup menu nothing seems to be wrong. The machine is running fine and all.

I am investingating the Focusrite ISA 428 Pre. It has a price point around $1500 for 4 inputs based on Neve design. This would be my first "real" pre purchase. I am planning it to go into an Event EZ-Bus digital mixer direct to the a Mackie SDR recorder (on order) or straight into the Mackie depending on which converters sound better. Primary Mic is a RODE NT1.

Greetings,

Hi,

I'm new here (been lurking for a month or so), and I'm new to mastering.

I've been a performing musician for 20 years, but lately I've been doing some recording. I have a typical small digital setup at home - but I don't get it to sound 'right' (mix is OK but not the 'sound'). So I went to a 'real' studio. Same deal.

My setup: Guitar Tracks 1.02 on Win XP
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum Ex

My problem: I have tracks of drums and bass
that I dragged in from a sample CD. When
I go to record my guitar with simultaneous
record/playback, the new track contains
the guitar plus the drum and bass tracks!
Am I doing something wrong?
