Hello,

Hello - Brand new here.

I do presentations and workshops that I now record with a laptop and plantronics usb mic into Audacity. I then convert these into mp3 files for my students and participants.

The recordings come out really good... but I am a walker and can't do much walking tied to the computer... And the mic I am using also has an earpiece which I do not need...

I was wondering if recording with triggers would be a reliable way to record a bass drum. Ive always used a kick drum mic when recording at other studios, but I know that with a trigger you can use any kick drum sound you want and get the perfect one without any eq. And for the death metal stuff you can always cheat for the really fast bass rolls!

I use reason sample drums and I have noticed that my hihats are really clanky and it sounds like the drummer is hitting them as hard as they can.
I want more of a hissing sound.

I'm looking for small affordable but "HONEST" "near field /narrow" studio monitors with or without a sub for now.
What do you suggest?

has a switch under the battery slot labeled M/V.

What might this do?

How does one replicate the Metallica drum sound on "Enter Sandman"?
Specifically the kick and snare, how can you use compression, gating, reverb and Eq to even come close to it?
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,

hi, i was told to come here for advice.

I just got given some Tapco S5's for my birthday. I've got them running into an Mbox2. this works perfectly for use with Pro Tools, but the sound doesn't work for iTunes (it skips and lags) or any other application(no sound).

What can I do?

HI there,
I record at 24/96

1) Sometimes wile tracking I overload the mic preamps in purpose to get a distorted sound.
Can this technique damage the mic preamps or interface converters?
