Can anyone explain to me what each of the following will do to the sound?

Tighter Batter, Tighter Reso
Tighter Batter, Looser Reso
Looser Batter, Tighter Reso
Looser Batter, Looser Reso

Empty Bassdrum
Bassdrum with towls inside of it

Speaking soundwise of course when recorded.

Rev 5 or 7 what are your thoughts?

Hey all. I've had a few years of experience in live performance, and now I want to look into recording my own stuff at home. I'm just looking for a way to get some decent quality recordings in a simple setting from home.

Hello,

Hows it going? I've been using the Control|24 and Digi 002 Racks/Mixer but right now I'm working in a smaller project studio just doing some vocals on a MBox 1. I'm running Pro Tools 6.9 LE.

I'm running a condenser mic through the Studio V3 MP pre-amp to a Focurite Saffire LE interface. Does the pre-amp output go to the instrument or line input of the Saffire? I get much more gain via the instrument input so have been using that.

I'm a voice-over hobbyist in my spare time (and hopefully one day as a career), but I've found that lately I don't really have the time to sit down at my computer and record in peace and quiet.

So I've been hobbling along with a pair of old monitors (who's brand name I won't mention) that I got a "deal " on from a "friend". Seems they work better as an FM radio than a reliable monitoring systems. Not to mention that the high-end (even when attenuate) is making me go deaf.

Hi. I'm a guitarist and want to make some recordings and have NO idea what I need. I want to compose mostly, on the computer. One of my goals is to create 'jam' pieces, simple songs I can record and give to students so they can practice pentatonic scales and soloing without me watching over their shoulder.

Hi Im going to record children on one song that will be on an album I'm doing now the song has only two lines and the kids arent trained singers there just local school kids from age 6-8
But I'm worried that after i do it and release the album the parents of these kids might look for money off me
So any suggestions on what to say before we do it?
Thank you
