Hello, inexperienced noobs here :)

OK so we have sort a a simple set up right now. While we have a tone of vintage and classic guitar, bass gear that you would drool over, the recording set up is RME Fireface 800 connected to a MAc Pro that has been responsible of putting all of our recording into Logic (9 at this point).

what do you know about it? have you used it? on stage or in the studio? compare and contrast to other common snare microphones.

thanks!

Ive been looking at buying a mac for my DAW needs. For the past year ive been using Cakewalk Sonar 8 but ive found love for logic. I have narrowed it down to a Mac book Pro But have concerns with the screen size, at only 15" it seems a bit on the small size.

Being a student i cant afford the 17" and dont particually want to get a an iMAC.

alrite so does anyone know where i can get a transformer put in my mic? the cost? i need a transformer for my sm57 and i wanna know if it would sound "that" much better with a transformer.

I was recording on a 2.6ghz PIV computer with a PCI firewire card and a PreSonus Firebox. It worked fine but the CPU was often overtaxed and gave me some clicks or pops. I just "upgraded" to a much more powerful computer. I ditched the whole hard drive with Vista installed, installed a new hard drive and put Windows XP on it. I'll try to arrange some sort of dual boot thing later on.

Hi, this book was recommended to me. I noticed it's 20-22 years old. I was able to view the Table of Contents on Amazon and even read a few pages - seems like the material would not date much. However I was wondering if there's something just as comprehensive plus information on how it relates to modern equipment?

hi there, i'm new here and i have a question that i hope you can answer for me. let me first make it clear that i am no technician or sound expert; i'm an old, but fairly naive amateur musician/writer and i have little to no patience for the complex sciences of harmonics and microphone placement. i will hopefully learn more on these matters one day, but it isn't what concerns me now.

Hey guys
How are ya ? :)

I'm new to this whole mixing thing and was wondering if you guys could help a guy out. haha

At my church, I believe they are using SoundCraft GR4?... I think

and from that we have either a mono orr stereo output to a regular pc to record sound and upload it to our site.

Here is an interesting situation. For the past few weeks I had been looking at an Avatar 2x12 with one Vintage 30 and one G12T-75. This would come out to about $450-475 with shipping. Last night a friend said he is letting go of his 5150 4x12 because he is getting a new cab. The 5150 has Sheffield speakers and according to him it is better than the Avatar for heavier stuff.

Alright, I currently have a Crate Blue Voodoo 60w Tube Head with brand new Ruby 12ax7 and Tungsol 6L6 Tubes. I use it for mostly rock, a little heavier rock, and enjoy some bluesy sounds from time to time. The cabinet i use is a vintage Carvin V412. The speakers are old and probaby not THAT great.
