i am new to inter faces i was kinda dumb and bought a Alesis multi mix 6 thinking i could have 6 sepperate channels in my software i was gonna do a guitar and mic at the same time but it all comes out in one mono channel in my software does the Tascam us-1800 come out like that 2 >?

Can anyone recommend Some good reading material relating to audio engineering? I have a book by Bob Katz which I like. I'm fine with goin crazy buying books on Amazon however I thought I would see if I could garner any opinions here first.

I'm specifically looking for modern material related to recording/mic techniques, use of 'effects', and mixing techniques.

TIA!

I realize that this is probably the wrong forum, but I just think this deserves to be at the top of the page.

Has anyone sent their mics in to Oktavamod? I'm thinking about purchasing their upgrade to my old MXL and Oktavamod condensers, as they get no use in my studio.

I would appreciate hearing about anyone's experiences with them.

Thanks!

OK, so I'm learning about the home recording process and on Tuesday I will be doing my first session. I believe I have the recording equipment side of things right. Now, the issue of the listening device comes up. The store I've been buying equipment has lots of different headphone brands and so on. Headphones seem to be the standard for recording purposes. Why? What's wrong with earphones?

Well, the new version is out after a five year wait. As Audition is my main DAW I went ahead and purchased the upgrade and standalone while it was cheap. Academic pricing is pretty decent too.

So I'm working on the birth of a record label that will be releasing old field recordings of local heritage type music. A decade or two ago my boss gave some of those recordings to County Records and they used some of them in a compilation. My boss has the original masters and nothing was signed when he handed over copies of the recordings.

i am beginning to think that you have waaay more stems in vocals then the instruments in the song. is this true or i am not focusing on the sound of the instruments more?

OK, this is a crazy busy week for me. Graduation ceremonies Friday and Saturday, remote recording yesterday, live gig on Sunday, taking Alice to check out a grad school next week. And of course, the UFX arrives yesterday.

I have a matched pair of Mojave MA-100's that I am giving away to some worthy member.

This is a $1595.00 value that is very sweet!
