Just ordered a Tascam US-144 interface. I currently have a PreSonus BlueTube mic preamp (older blue version) that I was trying to get rid of thinking that I didn't need it, but it occurred to me that it might be a better quality preamp than what is in the Tascam. I can bypass the Tascam mic preamp by using line in, correct?

Well, this is my first post and I hope I'll learn a lot from this forum, so hi to everyone :)

Hello Recording.org.
I truly hope you don't mind me promoting my little review blog here.
Dawfreak is the new spot on the web with a concept to review and guide musicians, producers and songwriters new and old with a low or medium budget in this huge realm of soundcard, Software, plugin and other musician tools.

I have a lot of experience with high-endcompressors like distressors, manley, 1176's, API etc. I am looking for some utility compression that you can use for "less important duties". For example when I have a dense mix happening and I need to squeeze in a keyboard or some other element I need something to really contain the source.

I am in the process of finishing a sound isolated room, it is a double wall set-up. (box inside a box) From what I understand, any noise not blocked by the first wall will enter the cavity and bounce around between both hard surfaces so some means of absorption within the cavity is necessary. A few questions, the first is why.

Looks like Gearslutz.com has been exploited by a P O R N ring today. They are running very vulnerable software and modifications so its to be expected.

Hey I'm pretty new to this and i've just started using some compressors on some guitar and drum tracks i've recorded I don't know where to start. Please help! I usually just set the threshold low and turn and turn up the input til i hear it working. Btw, if I want to limit the kick drum i just set the ratio above 10:1? I heard that somewhere. I really need to know how to use these things.

As I've stated in previous posts, I'm now working with a Neumann TLM102 > BLUE Robbie Tube Pre > M-Audio Profire 610 > Logic.. Unfortunately I'm not getting the sound I thought I paid for.. but I think this is the reason:

Hey everyone, I just ordered some monitors tonight. The only thing I've ever used before are computer speakers.

I am really puzzled as to how to use this mixer and I'm hoping for some help. Here is a link to the specs with a picture of it http://www.Behringer.com/assets/MX2004A_P0030_S_EN.pdf
