I tracked a college rock band this past weekend and I grew a bit fustrated with the limited headroom on my Sytek mic preamp's.

I used them on a SRW bass cabinet/RE-20, a fender amp/M-88, snare/57, and kick/TLM-103. I had to move the kick to a different mic preamp because it would overload with the gain all the way down. The mic was about 3-4 feet in front of the kick.

Looking forward to getting the LAWP version 5 program. Love the 4.x program!

Currently use LAWP 4.61 because it offers the best syncronization with the ADAT. Although I only use the ADAT when working with a guitarist friend exchaning ADAT tapes for recording projects, I still want to like to be able to use the ADAT with LAWP version 5.

Still interested in purchasing the Sonar program. Before I purchase the program I would like have the following questions answered:

1) How difficult is it to sync Sonar with an ADAT?

2) How solid is the sync?

Recently I've noticed some extremely ratty, smelly, funky, ranked out, pop filters. Went down to the 99 cent store & bought a couple packages of hosery and "upgraded" the current pop filter (I'm sure I'm not the 1st person to do this). It doesn't smell now, and there's less chance of spreading germs.

My conga practice is hurting my ears. I foolishly tried foam earplugs, but the -29dB renders practice useless--can't correct my slaps if I can't hear.

Hello All,

I believe that you once suggested using rubber "O" rings to replace worn elastic in microphoone shockmounts, as purchased at automotive supply stores. I've checked some stores and catalogs and can't find any long enough.

Any suggested sources or should I contact Neumann for their elasto-cord?

Does anyone know of a website I could go to to learn how to make my midi bass and drums sound real? I do mostly rock and metal, so it really shouldn't be that hard I would guess, but I don't really know what makes a bass or drum sound rock/metal.

Hello,

I am working with a local college rock band. I have worked a deal ($75 per song, six songs total) for the project that everyone has agreed with. We have tracked and overdub'd and we are getting ready for mixing.

Hi all :( )?
Anyone any other suggestion?

Thanks

Cheers
