recording pros...lend me your ear. kind of a long post
This is probably all going to sound trivial to some of you seasoned vet's, but I just need some advice on a gear decision...I need opinions on the Tannoy System15, The Tascam DM4800 digital mixer and the Yamaha 02R96 digital mixer...I'll explain.
What do you guys think of the Tascam FW-1082
Hey I'm building a home studio in my basement. Even though a lot of people say thats not a good place to work, my basement really fits the needs of a studio. I'm focusing on using software but needed an audio-interface. The 1082 looks pretty good because it also has mixers and other attributes that other interfaces don't have.

finding a place to put a recording studio
I really need a space to open a studio. I'm getting tired of lugging gear. I am also tired of not having a legit studio space to market myself better. If I had a spce I could at least invite potential clients down to showcase and hang or whatever. I live in a condo right now. I'd prefer not to move but will if necessary.

what set up do I need for recording? no booth...open space.
I have decided that building a vocal booth in my studio room.
is a waste of money and time.
I live in the basement of my parents house.
nice lil room connected to my bedroom.
two doors...one for living/bedroom kitchen area and one for washroom.
It's pretty quite in my room...quiet enough to record rap/hip hop
lyrics with head phones/microphone.
problem with live vocal levels
OK, here is my situation...I am running sound at a 500-600 capacity club in my area and this is my first experience in actually building and installing a setup in a venue. I have worked and assisted before in much larger venues with their house systems but never have I been solely responsible for setting up, installing, purchasing, maintaining, and running the whole thing.

snakes and other cable routing methods
Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out what the best way to route a bunch of cables from the control room in our studio (under construction) to the tracking room -
We need twelve channels of xlr-xlr, for the microphones into the mixer, and we have five pairs of headphones that need to connect to our MOTU 192HD.

Studio Downsizing & DAW Upgrading
Hi, gang:
A newbie to this forum, I'm anything but a newbie to recording. Currently, I'm in the process of selling a good deal of my current recording gear (including my Mackie MDR 24, and Mackie 24 channel 8-bus board), in order to free up space in my basement studio, and radically reduce patching/cabling requirements.
