hi you guys, I need help please. I just got a CAD 49 tube condenser mic, and I can't get any sound off of it. I connected my CAD 49 condenser mic to the analog power supply using the 7-pin XLR connector into the mic in of the power supply. Then I connected my mic preamp which is bulit onto the Xenyx802 mixer to the output of the power supply using a 3 pin XLR.

If you have all these things in place, will you get a good recording?

The right instrument, in the right room, with an appropriate microphone, in a good position, with a quality preamp.

does PRO TOOLS LE work on windows vista home premium 32 bit?
I'm going to buy the Digidesign 002 interface with pro tools le software but I'm unsure whether my vista home premium 32 bit will support it, as Digidesign won't seem to commint to supporting it
appreciate any help
thanks

So, I've got the tough problem of not liking the sound I get out of software drum machines. I'm trying to get a nice studio drum sound for rock music. Usually, with this type of set up, the drums sound way too fake and leave me cringing. I've tried a few different programs but haven't really found one I've liked.

Hi all,

Did a search and there's been nothing recent on the topic so...
I got the call to record the school's big band tomorrow. It's quite good, wins lots of awards and they're doing some great Gordon Goodwin charts.

Anyway - I've got 16 digital inputs. 8 channels of quality pre (4 Seb, 4 Sytek)

I'm planning on building a Windows based system to mostly run Sonar 8 producer for audio production in home. I am planning on mostly using it for recording of live instruments and mastering, but I will do a bit of MIDI production too. What would you guys recommend for the CPU, motherboard, Ram, High capacity Hard Drives, case and power supply?

Hello everyone! I am currently trying to get things into my studio to take my recording to the next level. I would be recording drums, bass, acoustic guitar, and electric guitar.

Hey, I finally decided to do some mods to my Apex 460, and after looking through the hundreds of forums with the Apex 460 mods, I still have some questions. I'm pretty new to mic modding, so some questions might be on the stupider side, but please help if you can.

Good afternoon, recording experts. Am in need of a little guidance, if you could be so kind.

Am looking to record a live, multi-instrument-to-multi-track session on a laptop and am having trouble sleuthing a way to record more than two-tracks simultaneously.

Sometimes when I'm recording vocals it takes me quite a few takes, maybe 10-15, before I can get that one that really sounds good. Is this normal, or do I just suck? Or does it not matter as long as you can get to that really good one?
