So I'm about to make a purchase, but I don't have enough to do everything at once. So I'd like to know what purchase I should make first that would give me the most improvement up front. I kinda know the answer but I guess I am looking for a confirmation.

I have the option to purchase the 003 Factory (upgrading from the 001), I would still use the preamps from my mackie.

Okay, so I know that we as musicians can be a tad obsessive compulsive at times, but I seem to be taking the fun out of recording because I am so obsessed about making everything sound as good as I can get it.

Does anyone have any feedback on the:

-Live Wire Solutions ADI Active DI
-Nady ADI-2 Active DI
-Boss DI-I Direct Box

I just need a standard DI to record my bass tracks and i'm not look to spend a lot of money on this item, I was hoping that one of these can still provide good sound and quality despite its cheap price.

Hi,

I am new to live sound recording. Now I am going to have a project which is a live recording session of Lead vocal with acoustic guitar and KB, Bass guitar and percussion on the side doing background vocals. I am concerning about the wiring issue: It contains Millennia HV-3D,Focusrite ISA430 MkII, an analog Studer mixer and a few mics in my gear list, so how do I get started?

Looking at either buying a laptop that I can use for mobile onsight recording, as well as use as a sampler live: either this dell http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8989008&type=product&id=1218006772494

I'd love any insight or thoughts anyone could drum up here on this subject.

My band just grabbed a Behringer PMP3000 (1200W peak powered mixer - I know most Behringer gear is weak, just needed something to get by) for a little more vocal punch and the ability to play some medium sized venues that don't have a house PA.

I've been looking around to find a good DI, mainly to record my bass tracks. In the past, I would always just mic my bass amp, but I found that it's fairly difficult to get a good sound.

I know that guitar is sometimes double tracked (what I understand as recording the same part twice) to fill out the sound or add a kind of chorus effect. Is this commonly done on bass as well?

Hi,

I've heard that there should a device out there that can record 11,289 MHz one bit signals. Anybody knows of this?

Best regards,

Jesper

I was interested in a recording tip that I heard about recently, that being using a DI as well as an amp for recording guitarists. You then would end up with two tracks. Thus giving youi the ability to reamp the DI track if the sound of the amped track is not exactly what you were looking for but the performance was. I am using PreSonus Firestudio as my A/D converter.
