Ive seen that in many pro studios the engineer removes the fron bass drum head of the kick drum and puts a second kick drum and drapes it with a heavy blankets and puts a second mic in front of the 2nd kick. I wanted to know two things...

My buddy asked me to build him a sys. So I figured I would start from the dig/midi interface and build computer from there.

I bought him a firepod. Now it's the Processor/MB/HD...

Can anyone recommend a MB and HD that has known compatibility with the firepod? I will buy a firewire PCI interface card...

I've been thinking of building a mic preamp or two. Anyone here have any suggestions, caveats, price range for quality parts etc.?

If anyone can help me. I am building a house. I want to have a full studio incorporated into the blueprints. My question is how big should the area be. I know that i want to have a separate ctrl room, pre-pro area, a booth big enough to hold a band and some smaller vocal booths. Does anyone have any recommendations? The house is should be btw 10 and 16000sq.

Hi everybody,

I'm planning on building a new desktop.

The computer I have now is too old and it's not handling the amount of tracks and plugins required, plus my girlfriend needsa computer so this is the opportunity to get rid of it and get a new one.

I am going to rebuild my studio, and instead of recoring everything through a digital recorder and then splicing them together in Cubase I want to record directly into cubase. I was wondering what I need and I need to get the equipment as cheap as possible and as soon as possible.
PLEASE HELP ME.

taken it to budget recording forum..was a bit out of place here...

so ive decided to put my foot in the door with recording and after much thought chose p.c over mac mostley cause its way cheaper.

My goal is to have a very quiet machine as I will be doing some tracking in the same room. This is the first computer I’ve built. Hopefully I have enough technical skill to put this thing together. :lol: After spending some time researching previous posts on RO (which have been a great source of info!), this is what I’ve come up with:

I'm building a PC and want to know what equipment i need for recording ie.soundcard,mixers and whatever else.
I dont know much about this sort of stuff so any help would be much appreciated.
