I just bought the Alesis I02 Recording interface and Sterling Audio ST51 Microphone. I am using a Dell PC running Windows XP. I use Mixcraft 3 to record (old, I know).

Novice mix engineer here.

I want to seperate instruments in the frequency spectrum, so that I have a 'good' EQ in the mix.

Assuming I know nothing about mandolin's (not very hard) what do I look for when buying one? I like getting instruments from all of my travels, and the misses and I are going to paris and italy in a few weeks. We are looking to spend only a few hundred on this instrument. I was thinking an accordian at first, but those seem bulky and expensive. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hello.

Saw I could post this without signing up. So.

I would like to know what a live recording set up would consist of. What would be a good way to do it. Just the recording end including a mixer.

I'm starting out not new but not old, I'm 13 and i can sing/rap .. ive been raping for 4 yrs and people told me I'm rly good ...

I have a wind band recording I am working on (70 piece). While it is quiet, the room isn't that great, so the "hall" isn't helping so much.

I'm looking into branching out into doing more mobile recordings, both to help w/ the overhead at the studio and because I have had more demand for it.

Here are a few criteria:

1. Primary use will be for recording school bands/choirs/orchestras. Mainly stereo pair, though I am willing to explore other methods.

Hey all,

The UAD Studer A800 has seen a lot of hype in the last few months and I thought I'd make it easier for people to evaluate its sound by offering a comprehensive set of sound clips. Please listen to 96 sound clips here:

Folks-

Howdy folks.
This is my first post. Please excuse the noob.
I'm not sure what I need, or if this is even the right forum. It appears that it is not obvious because of the uniqueness of my request:
