Right now I have an EMX860st and 2 non-powered Yamaha speakers. I just bought a passive monitor yesterday and realized how much better it sounds. Now on the back of the soundboard there is ports for monitor and speakers. I guess what I am wondering is how to setup a proper sound system. The room is about 50 ft by 50 ft. There are microphones and instruments.

I am in an independent band, who is being pursued by an independent record label. there are 5 of us, and we are all songwriters in the band. we are also being pursued by a major publishing company, and we want both deals to work out seamlessly. how do I achieve this?

any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you. :D

Hi I am just starting out and need some advice. I am about to record a CD for a band. The band plays pop/rock and I am just starting into recording. I want a really good sound, thats really important! I was woundering what equitment you would recommend? Money is no issue to a certain extent.

I was thinking of a Neumann u87, is that a good mic?
If anythings better let me know

Hey, my name is Sparks. Me and my mate have a small part time audio/recording buisness. The thing is that out of the two of us I am the audio specialist and I am also a musician. Can I do both? Do I need to do one or the other? I want advice and I thought who needs agony aunts/uncle when I could speak with some of you peeps.

Hi, I am playing in a band that is making a full length recording with a Fostex :? VF-160. We are complete on the mixdowns and now want to have it mastered by someone else before pressing discs. I cannot find out the best way to get the songs to the person who will master them.

Hello here I recorded some small brush work on my drummer's snare. It's just signal without any effects or EQ. This room is quiet ''sterile'' so there shouldn't be big need for acoustic treatment

I have a small project studio and have been slowly (as I'm sure most people do) ramping up my gear.

I've been running all my drums and guitars through an Alesis studio 32.

When I bought this board I was just getting into tracking and wasnt going to drop $5K+ on a board.

Apologies in advance for the lengthy post. My primary experience is in recording orchestra/choir/wind ensembles on location and I am generally quite comfortable doing this after 10 years. However, I've got an unusual session coming up with our local professional orchestra.

Hi there, i've been browsing these forums quite abit recently, but this is my first post. I already have some very basic gear for recording electric guitar, which at some point i will be looking to upgrade, but at the moment I am looking to record acoustic instruments. In particular acoustic guitar and vocals.

I am preparing to build a new PC. I do a lot of voice over work. I have a mic and Preamp that is state of the art, but my PC's audio input is ehhh..
I have a Sound Blaster Audigy with the front mounted interface, but the audio input quality is less then what I would like.
