I dug an old 15 watt Marshall MG15 out of the basement for recording and realized why it was there in the first place. When I turn it on there is a high pitched tone that doesn't go away. It seems that all of the amp's regular gain settings occur between 0 and 1 on the knob and anything after that just gives horrible horrible feedback.

Question:
I'm trying to set up a little sattelite drum lab in a friends house with some older equipment of mine: A 1607VLZ some 5" M-audio monitors, a stereo 15 band EQ (i think its ART 341) and the old m-box. I used to set them up this way:Mic--->Mixer--->EQ--->MBox--->Monitors.

I have a pair of old studio monitors, Professional Audio Systems studio monitor 3's and a pair of crossovers that came with them aswell. I will be needing someone to point me in the right direction to get these things running in my home. What sort of power do they need etc etc etc. any advice much appreciated.

i am about to invest in some nice overheads, and am not sure weather to buy a matched pair of small condensers or 2 large diaphragm condensers, to use as overheads. I mostly record heavy rock/pop, and like my drums to sound huge. currently using D112 on the kick, sm57's on top and bottom of the snare, and on the toms. Does anyone have any advice on what type of overheads would suit me best?

I'm looking at a nice mic preamp, but my question is...
the difference between what ill get from my PreSonus fp-10 preamps and a tube mic preamp, one like a U.A. la610 ?

Since being in the market for a pair of monitors, I am beginning to assemble quite a list of simple-yet-important questions.

do I have to use a mixing board to be able to hear what I am, and have, recorded

Hi, I'm relatively new to the world of recording, and had a question that if answered would make my life a little easier. :D

So, I have an M-audio 410, which has 2 preamps.. Which essentially means I can record 2 tracks at once correct? I need a Firewire interface that can track 8 channels at once. I'm having trouble locating any that are rated well and are affordable. any ideas?

Is there one that exists for a decent price? And why are there such big differences in price? It's a meter...It's a single function device, so why do some go for $30 and some for $150?

Hey, I've posted here before and I'm back lol..
But check it out...Say for example you have an SSL board.. Neve.. or something big and analog like most big studio's have...
Would you need an interface to go along with it to record into the computer?
And would the interface change the sound that comes out of the board?
