I am having a little trouble understanding the cancelling of high frequencies due to closeness of directional mics to the sound source. what's the relation between high freq and it's wavelenghts coming from 0 degrees cancelling at the mic diaphragm? and why does the dual capsule omni mode exhibit so little effect?

So are most of the drummers for these bands EXTREMELY accurate and consistant or is it common practice to add kick and snare samples? ( i know terry date does) Where do you normally find good samples and how do use them? Generally when you use a sample do you not rely on the original at all or do you pick something that will compliment what you have and lay it under the original.

Opinions on the Tascam US224? Is it a substitute 4 Duo, Mona, or Audio2446? Any real strengths or weaknesses? I am new at this and am trying 2 crank up my 2000 PC with my Technics KN 5000 Keyboard. I do not yet own an Audio Card or a Midi Interface. All suggestions r welcome!
Thank u 4 your help.

Hey everybody,

This is my first post at RO, so I'll stick to something that should be simple. I just can't seem to get to the bottom of it no matter what I try (and it isn't like I'm new to computers or anything). : )

Hey gang,

I've read a lot that many engineers love the Waves
L1 and L2 maximizers.

Looks like Time Warner is calculating a new model to suck more cash out of users of cable modems. Other monopolies ( like Cablevision, what I use), will probably follow suit. I don't know how it would affect musicians.

Stereo Interleaved to Dual Mono

Can it be done with commands/Ketstrokes, or do you just reord back to 2 tracks?

Thanks,

Well, just like usual in the wonderful world of PC technology, by the time a piece of hardware hits the store shelves, it's already obsolete.

The ASUS P4T533 is already being drooled about, with the new PC4200 32-bit-wide rambus memory and they're rumored to even gonna include a stick of memory with each mobo.
