I've noticed that on some songs I listen to that have acoustic guitar parts in the beginning, there is usually a nice crisp clicking sound from the strings. Its almost just as loud as the actual sound of the chords being played. Anyone know what Im talking about?

I'm a drummer and I'm gonna be recording my drums and other instruments...

I have the MOTU 8pre interface and an 8 channel mixer with 8 direct outs.

Now I don't want to keep having to plug and unplug mics and cables from the MOTU so I was thinking...

Have everything go into the mixer and then keep the 8 direct outs going into the back of the Motu.

At present I'm in the process of transfering some of my vinyl collection onto my pc so that I can burn the tracks to disc for use with CD players.

So far i've just been using Audacity as the recording device, having connected the output of my mixer into the mic input on my pc and saved each track on a seperate hard drive.

hi to all,
at the moment, i use tc electronics konnekt 24 with my pc. i am looking for a good quality d/a converter to feed my pres to without adding any color or noise. i'd like to keep the chain as transparent as possible. my budget is $2500.
any suggestions?

much appreciated.

Hello everyone, Im being faced with a challenge, i need to record a jazz trio, my gear is limited to a mixer an 8 track recorder, only can record 2 tracks at a time, and half a dozen mics 2 large condensers 2 small, and 2 dynamics

What would be the best way to go about this, instruments in trio are Piano, Drums, and electric bass

Thanks, hope to hear from you all!

I recently bought a PreSonus firepod, I upgraded the software to Cubase sx which is an option with the LE.

when i have the set device as the output speaker on my laptop the click track works, but when i change the device to the PreSonus i can get audio out of the main cr output and the headphone jack, but the click track does not work.

Anyone encounter this problem before?

I am looking into some monitors, such as some of the Behringer Truth models (I can get a good deal at the store I work at) and hook them up to my computer for recording. I noticed that there isn't any type of headphone jack on them.

How can I fix this so I can use headphones with these monitors?

I'm sure I'm going to get flamed for this, but..

what do people like so much about the Abbey Road kick sound? or the entire recording for that matter.

Maybe it's because I'm young (19) but I just don't get it. I listen to it and to me it just sounds so. weak. It sounds distant, or something.

I did a search on here, and it seems like there's been debate on the usefulness of this mic.

Unfortunately, I didn't do this search until after I purchased a barely used one for 90$ on Ebay -- I had just seen reviews before. Worth it? Or should I maybe find somebody to sell it to and get a better mic?
