Hi, Well i'm on a budget of 200 or less (the boss would prefer less). Using Sound Forge software. Mostly analog voice recording so 2 tracks would be my max. Input if from a Mackie 1604 mixer. Any suggestions? Besides getting a more realistic buget. :-)
thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I was recording a drum track last night at my studio and the craziest thing happened!

First let me explain that I play all the instruments and do all the producing/recording/engineering myself, so as you can imagine at times getting a good track can take quite a lot of time (sometimes up to 8 hours with no accomplished result!)

Dear Collective Wisdom,

In an effort to save a few bucks, I'd like to create my own mult (1 TRS into 2 TS) connection. The purpose of this mult is to connect my mixer with a stereo compressor. Will this require connecting the grounds on all three plugs to one another? If so, what's the best cable to use? Thanks, --A novice

I'm trying to get an inexpensive kit for my home studio. I found a Pacific kit for about $299 but I will have to get a cymbal set too, like the Sabian B8 set for $180. I have a friend that has a Pearl Export kit with some Zildgian cymbals that he'll sell to me for $350. I want something that will tune well and sound good for recording.

in pro tools, you can set up editing groups - whatever you do to one track in the edit window gets applied to soundbites in the same place in all tracks in the group. is there something analagous in DP?

With a substantial investment in PT mixplus, plugins and various outboard, I am currently feeling reluctant to even consider the PTHD upgrade path.

My son is thinking of buying a combined digital I/O and A/D device so he can do some serious home recording with an iMac. One product he likes has a memory card interface identical to those that are used with digital cameras. The product is made to be used with Powerbooks that have built-in card readers, and the actual output is a card on the end of a cable.

Does anybody's got experience of Timpanis Micing? What are the best Mics for it and Mic positions?

I am putting together a new system and am considering this. What are the plusses/minuses over other systemS? How does everyone like the digi software? Soundcard? Just fishing for more information so I make a wise decision. Thanks! RandyG :cool:

I know that I have probably missed some good discussion on this already, and I don't mean
disrespect by posting a completely new topic for this. However, what are the feelings about
Win98/2000/XP. I am running an athlon 900Mhz DAW with an Echo Layla/Mia on 98 (software
sonic foundry vegas/sound forge). As far as I know the WDM drivers for this setup are
