evening all,

First time post here! I've tried searching all over the forum if anyone had posted any info on the described topics but found none so here it goes.

If you are looking to record a commercial quality album, then SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM is the place for you. Many advantages, no disadvantages.

working on my "stage computer" setup as described in ProAudio (and duely ignored...). Have an old practice amp (several) with a LINE OUT.
Where exactly in the chain is that signal coming from? Is it out at LineLevel?
real question is this- can i use the amp as a simple clean PREAMP before I send it to my soundcard from the LineOut?

I recently recorded a friend's band in my home studio. Acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums and vocals. The peformances were good, and I am pretty happy with the sound of everything. We are mixing it now, and the comment I keep getting is that the vocal does not seem to "sit" in the mix like commercial recordings.

I have a modestly well-equipped mobile studio consisting of and existing around a Roland VS-2480CD,
a fairly well-designed rack system (if I do say so myself) with a 2ch. tube pre, 4ch. Comp,
4-12ch. Headphone Amp/Dist box w/Audio-Technica & Sony 'cans, 48-point Patchbay,
& Powered NFMs "on the side"...

Hello

Since day one of the inception of my recording company, I haven't been fortunate enough to actually pay myself on dime. Yeah, I take myself out to dinner on the company and every once in a while buy my wife flowers on the company dime, but other than that, every penny goes into buying gear.

Ok, I am 18 years old and just started getting into recording in December 2003. I don't know if this is what I want to do with my life, but so far I really enjoy all the aspects of recording.

Any tips? Any stories? We've all got lots of money just sitting around waiting to show up in a pawn shop/ebay/wherever. Not to mention the personal security issues. I admit to always being a little nervous around new clients.

I would like to know any tips or hints that has helped the more experienced people. I have a question I would like to put 4 windows in my main band room how much will the sound come through? I will put double glass etc.
