HI,

The Setup:
I am using a laptop for my DAW/Sound output to my Headphone distribution amp. The laptop output is a headphone output not a line-out output. My Headphone amp has a 1/4 stereo direct input and the laptop has a 1/8 output. I use a 1/8 to 1/8 cable with a 1/8 to 1/4 stereo to stereo adapter.

Hi guys!

A few days ago I heard a engineer saying that the best way to record the guitar amp is putting the cabinet (speaker) up something like a rack, chair, etc.

Is it really true?
Why?
Is there some acoustic problem on this?

Thanks everyone, and sorry for my english.

Hugs
Davi

I have concerns about overpowering/under-powering my passive speakers during live church recordings. I have two large speakers that are powered by an external amplifier (these are passive speakers). There are NO settings on the speakers themselves. All you can do is plugin the audio cable.

Hello,

my band and I have decided that we're going to record a few of our own songs to have something to put up on youtube, myspace etc. Since we don't have the hardware or cash for a proper studio, we decided to create a poor-mans studio using my digital bass-pedal (which acts as a soundcard when connected to a computer). The idea was to hook it up like this:

Hello experts!

Im currently on the hunt for a headphone amplifier with 4 separate headphone outputs. Anything similar to this (price range $100-150):

Hi:

I found out there an old Carvin DCM150 power amp. I tried it and I was surprised how good its sound is! But the heat that the unit reaches, surprised me also!

Anyone out there remember/know something about this units concerning heat?

Thanks in advance!

Here is some drum head comparisons that I did for work recently, you will have to click on all videos to seem them all. They are done in a home recording environment to show the subtle differences in them. There is also a Tiny Terror/Dark Terror demo some of you guys might like.

I know it's common practice in home studios, but do pros do it? I never have and, as an engineer or as a player, I can't imagine it would be satisfactory. It forces you to use software monitoring, which means latency. Then it adds processing, which means even more latency.

Hi everyone.

Should I have something between my amp and monitors, or just get something that will give me a better sound, such as a new amp, pickup, or distortion pedal?
