Moving at the end of the month and dont have enough room to bring multiple desks. Does anyone have a desk out there that can fit their cpu and monitor speakers that they like? Anything popular out there? Dont want to spend more than $200.

Thanks!

First of all, I am by no means a professional audio/video engineer... In fact, this was my first attempt ever at using a external lavalier mic. I even went so far as to use headphones while recording and did pick up on some distortion but I could not figure out why it was happening.

I'm working on my home studio right now, and I was hoping to get some input on what the "Must Have" items are in your opinions. I have a Tascam Us-1800 (16 by 4) interface for A to D, Pro Tools 10, various Mics ( one large diaphragm dynamics, several small diaphragm dynamic, and a small diaphragm condenser) mic stands, cables, amps, guitars,a PA, a drum kit, stuff like that.

I'm trying to do the best I can to monitor and mix my own stuff with a really low budget. I can't afford more than $200 right now, and I'm working in an untreated room. Through craigslist, I have the choice of a pair of Mackie MR5s or a pair of Sennheiser 598 headphones. They're the same price. Any recommendations?

I'm looking at two different Mac Pros on craigslist. Right now I'm running a 2.3Ghz Dual Core G5 with 6GB RAM.
I know you can buy the quad core and then always upgrade the ram later, but i'm wondering which one is going to better as it is right now. I use a lot of plugins, and as many as 30-50 tracks in some songs.

Here are the specs of each:

Hi All,

Just a quick question (I hope :rolleyes:): For a DAW is it then preferred to use a 32 or a 64 bit system? I'm considering Samplitude as a recording software (but not only this software), will use win7, and need a quite fast machine that is also future proof (to the extent possible) ...

Thanks for any insights you may have :redface:

Hi,
I have an opportunity to purchase a used Millennia Origin from a local studio. I have lusted for one of those puppies for the longest time, the guy is asking $2200, which isn't too far out there from what I've seen on flea-Bay.
I want to use it for VO work and have been looking at a used UA 6176 ($1800, same dude), as well.

After viewing this TED video, I instantly became a fan of Amanda Palmer's vision of the future of music funding.

Should we be buying cameras instead of microphones? Is YouTube completely swamping audio recordings? We at least have to ask the question. Had a wake up call today. One of my bands decided to cover Hickory Wind. Standard thing now - pass around the links to a bunch of YouTube versions to get some ideas.

Remember this:
