I hope this is the right forum, if not maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm only researching at this point so I can't tell you what gear I use, because I don't have it yet. But, what I'm hoping to do is record a combination of MIDI and Audio tracks on a computer to be used as backing tracks for live performance. (I perform solo and in a duo).

I have been put in charge of recording my college's marching band, and I am not quite sure how to do it. I was thinking a basic X/Y in the center of the field and then omni's spaced out on the sides. (oh,this would be at football games, so I dont have time for a tedious set up.)

Hi, was hoping someone could help me with my sound.

I am trying to record 2 guitars both with massive gain levels to achieve the sound we are after. (Basically its a groove-metal rock band with most bias being on metal).

I'm an old school guitarist of thirty some years used to an amp, a Morley volume/wah and a couple of pedals have done me fine.

A distributor friend of mine turned me onto this company today. After buzzing around the site, I'm impressed. Germany really has a lot of quality designers. Good on them!

2. Tascam US 144 USB 2.0 w/Cubase ($149.00)
3. Tapco Link.FIrewire 4x6 w/Tracktion ($100.00)
4. EMU 0404 USB 2.0 w/ Cubase ($200.00)

I'm not sure which one to go with...

Hey,

I have an 8020A Left and Right pair.

I have been given a 7060B, but when I plugged it in, I hear a little, but not a lot. It says in the manual that this thing can deliver 85 <> of sound and to be careful, (implying it's loud!) so I was expecting a bit more rumble from this thing.

Am I doing something wrong?

Computer > Mixer > then...

Hi,

I am a bit of noob when it comes to recording, but I am very confused by my issue...

I am trying to record my acoustic guitar using Music Creator 5 and a SM57 mic.

I tested the mic levels and it does not appear they are clipping, although they sometimes look a little low. I tried different buffer values and bit rates, but neither solved my problem.

I don't understand the real purpose for recording monitors. I know it's for the producer to listen to the track, but why can't I just use regular speakers?
