Hi everybody..

I'm really new into audio recording field. Currently I want to setup a 4-channel simultaneous recording (I'm buying CoreSound's TetraMic which only works if the four mic channels are recorded simultaneously).

I'm looking for pre-amp to interface the mics and the manufacturer suggested MOTU Traveler. Some things are dark to me:

So i just bought a mxl2003 condenser mic and this is the first pro audio mic I've ever received. The "studio" is at my friends house but i wanted to test out the mic. I bought an XLR F to 1/4" analog M plugged it into my sisters karaoke machine and i didn't get any sound. Do i have a bad mic or do I NEED a phantom power source?

I need to know what every thing is for becuase I am new to the recording scene but finally got my own stuff set up becuase it was getting to be too expensive goin to studio's. I am using the Behringer XENYX 802 mixer and I am using it to record rap vocals and singing. Can anybody tell me what all these diff. things do?

hi all. i desperately want to get into digital recording, I'm going to buy either Cubase or Pro Tools just to get recordings done in my room.i have used both Cubase and Pro Tools in college before and i found Cubase much easier to use but Pro Tools is pretty much the industry standard.

hi all I'm new to digital recording and i desperatley want to get into it further.I have used Cubase and pro tools in college afew times and I'm looking to buy either of the two just to do recordings at home, but I'm not sure which to buy, i found Pro Tools quite confusing but iv been told that it is the best one to get to grips with since it is pretty much the industry standard.

I have been mixing on a decent Logitech 2.1 system. I know, I know that is not real practical, so I have decided to get a decent set of entry level studio monitors. I am only on a $300 dollar budget so my choices are very limited. Also, I do not have any local music shops so I cannot go demo speakers so I am really relying on online reviews and forums.

Hey, I'm looking to start a home studio(garage setting) where I can record music in(duh). More specifically, I'll be recording a mix of metal/folk/jazz music, and I need to know what I'll need. If it helps, I want to try to record everything with only one microphone. I'll be recording drums, bass, and guitar. What should I buy to get started?

Well, first off, I want thank everybody who participates in this thread (and apologize to those who my newbness annoys).

My band has been playing together for around half a year now (folk, jazz, rock). And it would be great if we could record or sessions. Use these recordings for promotions, selling, blah blah blah.

Hello everyone, well here at the end of the week I set off to record my first Album.

Hopefully I've got most of my methods figured out so far, the only thing that I've been unsure about is mixing and recording for stereo.

Ok, so basically I'll be recording a three piece singer/songwritter, acoustic, vocals, drums, electric bass, maybe a lead guitar overdub track.

ok, i just read through the entire manual and i don't see where you input the rhythm patterns. i can't ask in the NI forums because it's not taking my password, and support sucks. and i can't load the demo program and look around because it hasn't worked on my computer yet.
