I found a dodgy guitar lead that had a buzz today,

Today I recieved my MoCo, a monitor controller from the German manufacturer Esi. It is passive and can handle two stereo sources and two pairs of monitors.

It sounds very neutral, and is extremely quiet. It also has L/R swap functionality, mute and mono. Two things to consider: it has no status lights whatsoever and the housing is made of sturdy plastic.

I recently picked up a PreSonus 1818VSL interface and while I'm able to record, everything sounds a little "cheap" for lack of a better word. I've been reading and finding that some folks are using a preamp before the interface. Is this common and do the PreSonus preamps suck? Thanks in advance for any information.

Hi everyone, I'm new to home recording. How does one go about getting the warmth, and clarity in the higher frequencies of vocals as heard in this session?

Hi Bos.. ;)
I was wondering if perhaps you could help me to more easily understand what a "Zobel Network" is.
I've noticed this term mentioned in reading more about the ISA One mic preamp; and I've honestly tried to learn about this by reading various articles on line, and, well, I'm not getting it.

I received a wonderful Christmas present from a dear friend of mine this morning:
A Focusrite ISA One mic preamp. I was overwhelmed by how thoughtful this gift was. I'm looking forward to using it. ;)

I have an old DAW system using Win7, Sonar Cakewalk 8.5 and a M-Audio 2626 (firewire).

I plan to retire my old hardware and move to a newer system with Win10, newest Cakewalk (while it still runs), also migrate to a new DAW over time (maybe Cubase). The new system will most likely NOT have Firewire, so I'll need a new audio interface.

Thought I'd share a project as I get into it. Not sure how long it's going to take in total, but, first work properly began yesterday.

HI Guys, I've been recording some Christmas music on Saxoph0ne and wanted to make a CD for my family. The thing is, I don't really want to give the CD in a jewel case or sleeve. So is there a cheap way to really make a pro looking case. If I can't get it done by Christmas, (which I probably can't) I'm still interested in what some of you have done.
Thanks

I have a permanent quandary over placement of a master level reverb. My live side wants to put it last, as after all, you don't actually control the reverb of a real environment. So, I am curious, do you all put it after a limiter/maximiser or before?.

Cheers,

Tony
