Hi. Me and my friends want to record band practice but none of us have the slightest idea of what equipment we need. About the only thing we know is that we need mics and thats about it. So, what more equipment do we need? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a MOTU 8pre interface. I'd like to use pro-tools and I'd like to have some extra channels to record my drums.

Could I get a Digidesign interface and chain the two and use PT?

Or is DigiDesign like i think they are and prevent all that?

Hey everybody, I was wondering what would be a good start for a 4 channel headphone amp for me to use while laying out a Guitars / Drum track both individually but in the same performance and what would be some affordable headphones to use along with it?

Thanks,

What is a good quality to record at? I've been recording at 41 mhz and 16 bit. It sounds alright? Would it make a big difference if I bumped it up to 48khz and 24 bit or something? What does a normal studio record at?

What do you think about the advice given on post #4 by the administrator?

Hi

Thanks for looking at my thread.

The situation:

5X3 meter room with most of the walls covered with 60KG dense 100mm thick mineral wool absorbers / bass traps covered with acoustically transparent fabric.

hey guys. i'm new here, and fairly new to recording. i've been doing it for a few years, with a few different systems and equipment and what not. and now its time once again for an upgrade. heres what i want, tell me if this is possible. i'm looking to get pro tools le. i can't afford the 003, though just because i'm looking to get speakers, interface, headphones, etc. the works.

I see lots of people using 40-50 or even more tracks on projects, and I cant figure out what in the world they are all for. I dont think Ive ever used more than about 20 tracks for a song, and usually its less than that. Can someone shed some light on this? Even better would be some example tracksheets that show whats going on with all those tracks.

Thanks!

Hey guys, maybe you can help. I've bought a crown XTI4000. I want to buy 2 main cabinets for it. The amp gives me 1200W/chan at 4 ohms. I'm looking at getting the Yamaha S215V's, which are 1000W at continuous, and 2000w peak. Question I have, as I'm very newe to this, am I gonna be distorting too much because of a lack of headroom? Or do you guys think I'll be okay?

HI

A good friend of mine and a 30 year veteran of the recording industry needs help. He has coronary artery disease and no insurance. His name is Howie Lindeman and is FOH engineer for many top artists.

Anything you can do will be a great help.
