I'm investigate the requirements to upgrade our church monitors. We currently have an acoustic guitar, keyboard, piano, organ, drum set, three backup vocalists and lead vocalists. All of which are supported by one monitor feed (Guitar, organ and drums are not included in feed).

Hey, I have been doing a quite a bit of research on a home studio vocal setup. My voice is medium-deep in tone and pretty aggressive, kind of a mix between dre and tech n9ne --anyways, kind of unusual. I am currently using a setup over at my buddies. Blue Baby bottle condenser mic going through a Focusrite Platinum pre and mixed in Nuendo.

I have a box of old cassette tapes (remember those?) that I want to get onto my PC. Nothing valuable or well-recorded, just some nostalgia from garage band days. I just gave away my old dual cassette deck which was broken (freecycle.org is great!), so now I am casually looking around for a new playback deck (don't need to record onto it). Any suggestions/recommendations under say $100?

If the main vocals of a track were recorded in stereo would it make sense to convert to mono for the mixing? I'm pretty sure that vocals should be recorded in mono but this time around they got the stereo treatment.

So I'm planning on getting a M-Audio MobilePre USB Portable Audio Interface to record bass/guitar
I'm wondering what will be the best way to record bass (for now), so I will be able to buy all the stuff together
I currently have an Ibanez Soundgear bass and a Fender Rumble 100 amp

if i lightly touch a key it plays the sample back at full volume. if i hit the key hard it can barely be heard. what is this all about? i checked the setting on the controller (fatar no internal sounds) it has worked fine for years and all of the sudden this happens.

thanks

Recording Orchestras So after some hard thought, I think this is something I am going to aI'm to get into.
I may be able to get my foot in the door at CBC studios in Toronto, but I also would like to freelance.
I figure I should be able to find a few choirs or orchestras around the city that need archival work done.
so this leads me to the equipment I will be needing.

Hi all. I'm new.

I'm apart of a two-person band (we're looking to expand in the future, but we're good for now). My friend and I can both play guitar, piano, bass, drums, and we can both sing.

I'm about to buy a laptop to run Cubase and later on Mbox 2 on, and I'm down to two options. The problem is that I don't know much about computers so you could give me your advice as to which one is better of these two it would be great:

1. Fujitsu Siemens Amilo 2548, 2,2 GHz AMD Turion64 X2 TL-64
2048MB DDR2 (2x1024MB)
250GB 5400Rpm

Hi, There!
I have a dilemna that maybe someone out there can point me in the right direction to research.
