hi,

i have a home studio consisting of the Pro Tools mbox, a Studio Projects condensor mic, and decent speakers.

this is very simple, but understand that i only need to mix vocals because i am a rapper. i dont record any live instruments.

i wanted to know if there is anything else i might want to do in terms of upgrading my studio,

At the moment I'm stuck with nothing but a laptop for recording, and I'm trying to figure out the best solution for an audio interface.

I am going to be recording many tracks of orchestras and bands (the type with clarinets) and I am wondering which 48 channel mixer is going to be the best. I have about 15k in the budget for it.

Looking for preamp/sound quality and overall quality and ease of use.

I'm putting together a nine-track vinyl compilation from various artists and genres. The tracks all tend to be pretty well recorded but the levels are somewhat sporadic. I'd like to get all the tracks into a somewhat consistent zone but I'm not sure if there's a definitive method for doing so.

I am considering buying a used 2-track for mixdown, instead of
the DAT or ITB that I do now. Will any reasonably well-maintained 2-track do the job (once aligned and cleaned, and perhaps relapped) of giving my mixes the warmth I need?
For instance, I see a lot of
Otari MX 5050 on Ebay. I could probably scratch together $1K
if I found the right machine.

Howdy All!

It's still in the "let's get together and talk about it" stage, but I figure that I should be as informed as I can be.

As I understand it the +4 db "pro" trim level is made for the purpose of driving higher signal level over line level interfaces for the obvious reason that the noise induced in a long connector will be lower by comparison. Makes sense.

Hi,

I NEED YOUR ADVICE!I have to decide by tomorrow :?

What's going on peeps?

I am in definite need of your expertise. I am looking into purchasing the Tascam us 2400 because I think it looks good and it has the feel that I am looking for. To make a long story short, I need your geniune opinion on this piece of equipment. Is all hype or is it the truth? Thanks in advance.
