I tried the Davec test and got 21 tracks, but then I actually recorded a sixteen track, five minute song. Later I added 4 plugins over seven vocal tracks, but anymore plugins than that and my CPU monitor goes into the red. Is it time to get that new hardware we talked about?

Is there any validity to high frequency loss during vocal recording with the use of store bought pop screens?. I have been reading a thread on another site and these guys SWEAR there is a marked difference. Using my son as a variable "hissing machine" for starters, I did a with/without, and honestly heard no difference. I have fairly well trained antennae.

Just wanted to put up this post. I just bought a used VF-08. Haven't done much with it yet. I know in some people's eyes, it may not be the best thing to get, but I think I did good in getting it. I got it for about the price of an analog four track. $280 USD, so I can't complain.

We've signed four (4) artists on to our label, MB Records and are producing all the albums. We should have 2 of the albums ready within next month. Any ideas as to how to get the music on radio and get it heard by Majors?

Choose one:
1. PreSonus Digimax LT
2. PreSonus ADI896
3. Swissonic AD24
4. Focusrite Octopre

Hi!

I'm selling of all of my former project studio stuff to start over again. I'd really like a 24 channel mixer, and was sort of set on the Mackie 24/8, but now I've heard so much bad things about it that I can't go through with buying it.

Which mixer at this size and price-range is better? Should I get an older one?

I know there has been topics on the Pro Tools DUC on this, I just did a search. How hot do you folks record into PT? I just read an article in Home Recording where a guy states that he gets as hot a signal as possible, and would rather have a few clips happening than to turn the gain down. He wants to make sure he uses all his bits.

Hi,

At MOTU's site they say Glyph M Project is ready to go (and it's got the MOTU look and rackmount). Also can be easily daisychained with the MOTU 828. The big problem here is the price.

For a couple of hundred bucks less there are some other choices like OWC, but would like to read some opinions on this issue first.

I just purchased the Fender Custom 60s pickup set and I'm trying to replace my pickups. I can figure out the wiring fine except for the little plates that the pickups sit on also have a wire soldered to them. One plate has a long metal stem (about 3 inches) coming from the center of the plate.
My questions are:
What do you solder the wires to?
