Hi All,

Firstly, just want to say that there are some great posts going here. I've mainly been an engineer for rock/pop over the years, yet have always appreciated classical music, and I'm looking at using some classical recording techniques to record a few tracks of a group I'm currently working with.

Greets and Happy New Year!

I'm a newbie who is trying to set up a little recording setup. My needs are realy basic : I just need to be able to record midi via a keyboard and vox at the same time, to record to CD.

thanks guys

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting here. I am trying to set up a home studio mainly for hip hop. ( I know a little about recording, but not as much as almost everyone in this forum, so bear with me if I start sounding stupid) So far I have a newer computer with XP and Digi's MBOX.

Since moving to mixing in my DAW flavor of the day (currently DP but my soon to accomplish os X port might change my choice) I find myself missing the old days of closing my eyes and EQ'ing with my ears not my eyes. Paragraphic EQ's can be a wonderful ancellary visual tool but a dangerous distraction as well.

I'm in the process of spec-ing a budget remote recording rig. I want to go with Pro Tools and I want to be able to record 16 channels simultaneously. I plan on running the Digi002 rack with a 1.5ghz Powerbook using the 002's ADAT input for my 8 additional channels. The idea of a small format digital mixer with an ADAT output is appealing but may be cost prohibitive.

Hi,

Hi ALL,

Happy Holiday!
Just join the forum, reading some really helpful information here.
I am new at recording acoustic music, and I'm absolutely fascinated with mic techniques. I would really appreciated if I can get some advices on the following questions:

Brief Summary

Seeking advice in choosing: Midi Interface, Sound Card, and Mixer

Price Budget: $1500

Goal & Motive: Putting together a Nice Solid but Flexible DAW

Kind of Studio: Home Studio, Computer Recording/Sequencing

I simply want a setup that has a mic dedicated to a purpose so I can focus more on music (various forms of rock) rather than recording technique. Any help regarding this is MUCH appreciated.

PREAMP:

SMPro Audio Pr8 (modded) & 1 $300-$500 channel for
lead vox (haven't decided which preamp to get yet).

Mic COLLECTION:
