Two questions here.

1) Jules has a boom box hardwired in for playback reference. I was thinking about doing the same... any guidlines or comments?

Hi guys,

Firstly thanks to those of you who advised on a big band recording I had to do with limeted mics, was a great sucess, thanks! :p )

Budget will stretch to buying a U87 or an M147 for this purpose.

I am inclined to go for the M147, but would much appreciate any views on this.

Thanks :cool:

I'd love to know what the pro's here, consider the most common mistakes that they hear new and inexperienced engineers making. Also what's the worst recording of a big name act you've heard? Sorry if this has been discussed before. I did do a search, but it's a difficult one to get the right keywords for.

Being a newbie, a tinkerer, and one who is interested in recreating "that sound" from the early 60's obtained in some of those great jazz recordings, I have obtained my first really decent microphone; a Stephen Sank modified B&O. It has the sound I want, but the mixer boards I use have too much hiss and not enough gain.

Holy moly! This guide's getting around! Woohoo
So, since they didnt ask permision. what do you think I should ask for? Hmmmmmmmm. lol

In the very near future, RO will have a "Best Bang For The Buck DAWs" feature, which will give our members specific recommendations for computer systems and DAW components. The project is about half-complete, and as soon as I have all of the information from all of the participants, I will compile it and implement it. CHEERS!

As well as a new mobo from Asus...
The P4B533! Yeehaw! Man, true 533FSB! Oh well! Time to think about selling my ANUS for the ANUS Jr system! lmao!

I am a guitar player, I am interested in creating my own songs in the style of GunsNRoses, AeroSmith,Stones,BlackCrowes, Skynyrd. How can Sonar help me. I play guitar, a little keyboard.

I am messing around with the free demo for VST 5.0
I know it sounds dumb, but how do you arm a track for recording?
I know I am not a genius, but I think something may be wrong with my display, I can't see many of the buttons.
