MC and HNY to everyone.
Some time ago I delivered a 2 channel-strip module from a MCI-made (now Sony) JH-600 console. It worked really well until the owner lend it to someone else for a few recordings. When he he got it back it did nothing at all. So he called me again to have a look at it.

So finally all of my research payed off; I now have my basic studio setup, and I'm going to start recording my first 10 songs. Ive got 5 mics: a sterling audio ST55, 3 SM57s, and a beta52. I've also got a 2-input blue tube preamp and a firestudio project to run them into.

I have Cubase LE4, which strangely does not have a mono control. I am eyeing a replacement preamp to add to my monitoring that has a built in mono switch. Will this solve my problem?

Hi, I am just starting with all this recording business.

When I record vocals, I am assuming that I should record in Stereo.
But when I record a guitar, should I record in Mono. I mean, should I set my software to receive a mono signal? So If I want stereo guitar, I could either make a copy of the mono track and pan hard, or overdub?

For a 2" deck man have the prices come down alot.. :D

Hi,

Some background before my question:

I just purchased an Alesis ADAT HD24. I got a really good deal on it new. I didn't get the XR, because I don't care about 96kHZ recording. I am not scoring soundtracks for film, not producing or recording music for DVDs, etc. nor will I ever be. Don't need it or want it. CDs are still 44kHZ, and that's my focus.

hey all

I'm having problems getting a good tone recording acoustic guitar. i have an ovation custom legend, which i have always hated (biggest waste of $k i have ever spent), and am looking to trade it for something which will get me better results. my gibson jumbo is way too boomy and bassy as well.

Hi,

I am new.

I have been using the MBox mini for a few months now and love it and love Pro Tools so I decided to expand my gear.

Okay I am gonna lay it out as simple as possible.

I just got a Carvin S16 USB mixer. Up until now I have been using an 8 channel mixer that I run the instruments through and I use a Pandora PXR4 as the recording device. I record all the instruments seperatly. After the tracks are recorded I transfer them to my laptop and edit them with Acid Pro 6.

HI,
