Hello experts,

I have a recording studio at home. I dont have a wall between the tracking and the control room, so its difficult to provide good levels of monitoring when recording a full rock band, even when using closed-circumaural headphones.

Can you recommend me a good and cost effective active headphone box? Or a power amp for the passive box I have?

Hello everyone. I'm building a new studio. Dew to lack of space and a limited budget I'm considering building a booth for guitars and vocals, and buy the Roland td 20 V Drums. That idea comes handy because i need more money to build a room to fit drums plus mics and preamps. I have all the other equipment i need to have the studio...

What is your opinion on that matter ?

The reason Im asking is because people speak highly of the RE20, but I see it mostly associated with Micing drums rather than vocals, though Ive heard/seen examples of what it sounds lik with vocals. I like the fact that it has the high pass/low cut switch.

Ive also heard a lot of people speak highly of the Heil PR40, so Im wondering which you guys think is better?

Hello, I'm new to your forums. Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong spot, but..

Hi all.

I recently started making field recordings in my spare time just for the fun of it, so far I have made some nice recordings of some trams and I am off soon to record a wind turbine and a few convolution impulses around some interesting architecture in my city.

Feel free to have a listen.

hello, couple of quick questions for any good samaritans out there

I'm trying to run my Roland synth through Ableton live 8 for recording. At this point I've gotten it to record midi, but I don't get any sound. I can record it in audio mode just fine, but for midi it just lays down the track visually and but gives no sound.

Hey guys. I've been getting a crackly hum from my guitar amp. When I start adding compression to the mix the noise shoots through the roof. I've been told that I need to use a power conditioner instead of plugging the amp straight into the wall. Is this correct?

What did you see?

The MPC Studio is hot on my list.
UA Apollo looks ideal.
