As I've been getting asked this question a lot recently, what the heck, I'll post up the 1st thread...

Several guys have been asking me about getting a C414, and whether it's a good investment, or a decent mic.

My response has been, that every good mic locker has at least a pair of them.

I am wanting to get into podcasting with a limited budget. I want to come up with the best set up for getting good quality sound. I will be setting up my studio in a room in my house which is about 300 square feet and is fully furnished as a living room. Due to many factors, the studio must be in this room.

Hi. recently I have been using my vmp to run selected tracks
and sometimes mixes through and I am really liking the results.

Ok guys here is a good one for you lol. I play in our worship band at our church, and we have constant arguments between each half of the team, one says its too loud and the other says its not loud enough.

I am trying to record Bass and Guitar through my Digidesign Mbox 2. I am DIing the instruments but there is a shocking amount of noise.

I know in a studio you'd have to use a DI box but I thought you didn't have to use them in this situation.

hey I'm looking for a mixer like 16 to 24 track for recording i dont know what to get i only have 500$ to spend what are some good brands

I'm think about getting a Phonic Impact 24.4 are those any good? i cant find any reviews about them on the internet.

clipping and making it sound terrible and muddy. if you want to hear what I'm talking about go to http://www.myspace.com/athiefinthenightfl
i really need to figure out this problem cause I'm going to be recording and EP for my band and i dont want it be be very quite.

I was wondering if I need a pop filter for my SM57. Is the windscreen enough, or do I need an additional pop filter?

I've got a little bit of experience with Universal Audio plugins on a friend's system that has a UAD-2 solo but I've never had hands on with any of the Powercore hardware or plugins. I'm thinking about getting either a UAD-2 Duo Flexi or the Powercore Express. The Powercore comes with 14 plugins and a $500 voucher and I can get that new for $850.

I don't want to rip it, should I just wet it and let it air dry or is there a better way? I'm surprised its not in my assistant engineers handbook by Tim Crich.
