Does anyone have any experience with this mic? I am on a severe budget and I am just wondering what mic to go for.

It's between,

AT2035
MXL9000
GXL3000

Have at it :)

I have a allen and heath zed r16 and it has a 6 to 6 pin and 6 to 4 firewire lead with it.I want to run it with my pc.Used to use delta 66.

Do I need to replace this card and put a firewire card in?If so any good ones recommended or do they all do the same job?

Thanks all.

Hi I'm using Cubase and velociraptor as current main HD, and want to know if worth the upgrade. I'm most concerned about loading times of projects, since I'm constantly switching between projects and have to wait couple minutes for them to load due to massive amounts of vst instruments n effects i use. Will an ssd make a difference in project loading times? thnks

At night, around the same time, all of the speakers in my studio start to make noise. It's a crackling noise, like a scratchy record, mixed with a little hum. I think it might start when the security lights outside the building come on, but at this point I am certainly not sure.

Hey guys,

I'm new to the whole recording game, and I'm trying to get started. Here's what a buddy of mine uses, with pretty good results, and what I'm trying to approximate:

-Podfarm
-PreSonus Firepod (not sure what model)
-SM-57
-Cubase
-EZDrummer/Drumkit from Hell

Alright. Hopefully there is someone who has a knowledge of recording and would love to share. Here is my situation:

I currently record a lot of guitar + vocal covers using a Canon Vixia HV30. After noticing the sound quality was lacking, I purchased a RODE Videomic which was definitely a step up, but still was not at the level I was expecting.

I'm starting a "random play" database of local songs to be played from a link. (just imagine a localized streaming pandora, but just basically a link they pull up on their browser), I have found a few great streaming softwares, though looks like none of them really talk about streaming music off of music stored online.

Is it negative to use one HD Monitor with two computers. My eyes are poorer so I need a big screen and I have little room to put a second monitor.
I have a second PC ready for internet. Whats the best way to hook this all up clean and simple?

KVM switch yes ? Any suggestions on what you use?

thanks!

Win7 64bit / 8 gig of RAM optimizing your PC for recording, I'm wondering what the best virtual memory settings should be? How do you set yours or do you even do this? I'm also interested how the mobile laptops do this with external drives attached?

I have 3 HD plus an OS:

C Drive OS

I bought a refurbished Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 (with full manufacturer's warranty), and I'm running into a problem (maybe with my brain). Here goes:

When I insert an XLR cable into any of the 8 inputs, the signal is fine...and angels fly. However, when I insert an unbalanced 1/4" cable (either a mic cable or from a preamp), the signal is so low it's unusable.
