hey hey!
now, i know there's a lot of you conservative jerks out there that would give not very helpful answers such as -"just get a good drummer" blah blah...etc.- but let's face it.- now a days people just care about getting a more professional sound. and i'm open to any thing that could help.

Which do you all like the best and why? Any information would be most helpful.

Heloo,my fist post , salutations from south of spain
I would be very thankfull for any help
Im thinking about expanding my rec.studio busines with online demo services but Im not sure how the market is now,do songwriters still record demos in studious as they used to? (home studio setups cuts down clientelle )surely even the demo purpose changed over the years,

I am going crazy trying to work out my home DJ setup. I have the following components.

Technics 1210 turntable (RCA)
Integrated hi-fi amp (RCA)
Native Instruments Audio Kontrol USB soundcard (Balanced)
Channel Islands Audio Phono pre + dedicated power supply (RCA)
Aego M 2.1 speakers (RCA )

hello, I have a fantastic recording facility that I have signed a long term lease for however due to unforeseen circumstances I can no longer work full time as an engineer.

What do you like or dislike about current DAW's such as Pro Tools and Cubase? What would you like your DAW to do that it cant at the present time? Is simple better, or is having a garage of options and windows?

I'm starting my own recording studio but right now I don't have a lot of money. I heard I should not buy a mixer unless it it a really good mixer becuase otherwise it will degrade the sound quality. Is this true? Should I just buy an audio interface? What mixers would you recomend? thanks...

Hello all.
I am interested in purchase one of these Phonic Helix 18 FireWire Mixers, the MKI version, not the MKII.

I believe that Windows Vista is not supported by the MKI line. But there are drivers available for download for XP.

Since I run Windows Vista, I was thinking I might be able to use the Vista Compatibility Mode tool and use the Windows XP mode.

I'm in the process of recording a demo, and I've decided I'd rather not double (as in do to separate takes) my guitar track.

In the owners manual for the Tascam dp-02cf I purchased it says never to connect your speaker output from your guitar amp to the recorder.

Is this a power regulation issue or could it possibly do much harm by doing so..

So is my only option to mic the amp?
