Curently i have a fender blues deville 4x10 from 1994. I record using a sm57, into a firestudio project to my software. My amp sounds pretty good when i play with it live in overdive..but when i record it..it just sounds weak and fuzzy. I have about 1500 to spend, Would i be better off with a great preamp like a groove tubes SuPRe, or would i be better off getting a mesa boogie amp.

Hey, So I'm building a studio in the basement. Gotta nice room for it and everything. So far my equipment includes;
Mics
-EV EL35 x 4
-EV EL33 x 1
-Behringer C4 x 2
-Apex120 x 1
-FAKE SM57 x 2 (I got ripped off on ebay)

Interface & Mixer
-Behringer Europower PMH880S Rack Soundboard
-M-Audio 410 Firewire

Currently I run a Behringer C-4 (which I think is specifically for cymbals), and a Sm57 for recording a guitar cab. I've been noticing that it's not capturing the nuance of the amp. It just seems to be lacking. Generally I just assume what I'm using is wrong. because well... it normally is.
What mics should I be using to record?

Hi there, I'm looking for a stereo microphone setup that will allow me to record a multitude of instruments and possibly vocals from 10-feet away, at the most. This would be to allow for recording a music video, live in stereo, with the freedom to move around a bit.

Is this an attainable goal? Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thank you very much, in advance.

I already have an original 01V with 8 channel ADAT out.

We need to record some live tracks from our shows... I was shown the MOTU 8Pre at a local music store and I'm considering buying it.

From what I understand, I can use the 8 channels of ADAT and add a few more channels via the analog pre's, and grab the tracks via firewire in Audacity or some other program.

I am starting a new thread to further a discussion begun on page three of the following thread:

Hey Everybody,

dvdhawk - I'm starting a new thread with details on the proposed ICF building project. Here's the background information our moderators like.

What the heck...

Let's see if we can get some more activity in here...

My current switch is an HP ProCurve 2824 with cat5e and Cat6 in a direct hope run configuration.

Cat5e in the lounge and Cat6 for all the audio and servers.

Just curious as to what everyone else is using for switching and cabling.

Anyone using P.O.E. for VOIP phone systems?

Long ago, I read something to the effect that recording and mixing in the same room is not good due to a build up of the same room modes or resonances. Is this accurate? Is there an inherent problem tracking and mixing in the same room?
