Well, its been a while! Anyway, here's the deal. Went to record a drum track today. Its a 4 mic, Glynn Johns type setup as far as micing. A pair of AT2020's overhead, an AT4040 on kick, and an MD421 on snare. These are running into a Mackie 1202 VLZ mixer for pre's only, and out the sends on the Mackie into a Delta 44.

Hello guys,

Let me introduce myself first. My name is Nihal and I am new to this website. I currently have my own recording studio at home.

I'm looking for a 25 pin to 25 pin patchbay that connects the 1 to 8 and 9 to 16 analog send and returns of the MixDream.
I want it have the options to patch my analog gear to either XLR or TRS for each channel. This way it saves me from buying double snakes or extra adapters. What are some really good options?

Here is an image of the rear panel of the MixDream.

Hi all,

I just bought a Samson CO3U USB mic, and although the sound quality is great, there is ALOT of background noise. I'm in a completely quiet room, but there always seem to be this slight buzz sound going on. If I go to mic options and click on "listen to device", I will have nothing going on in the room, and I still hear this very prominent background noise.

what do think of the new PreSonus StudioLive 16.4.2 or the 24.4.2

I want to reamplify my DI bass recorded signal but I'm unsure how to connect everything. The manual says to hook everything up this way:

The Radial JDI can be used ‘backwards’ to convert a low-impedance mic level signal back to a high-impedance guitar signal.

hello everyone, I was hoping if i could get some help with this. I bought a digital recorder for cheap about 3 years ago (Korg D1200). I switched over to Cubase because pro tools was having to many problems with windows 7.I was wondering if i could use my digital recorder as an interface for my laptop that has Cubase 5 on it. The recorder has a midi out.

Hi all,

Do you compress your audio signals before going into your DAW? Or limit?

I have an Aphex Expressor and use it to compress signals going into my DAW. But it occurs to me that it might be better to use the outboard Expressor merely for limiting (defeating much of its features) and then rely on plugins for non-destructive compression in-DAW. Is this a good idea?

What do... I .. do?

*Note: I did know the proper board for this.

Note: This could be drenched with fluff and extra length, as I am quite a expatiator when it comes to the realm of explanation~ aka, I always say more than needed in every category, especially when it comes to asking questions.
