Hi Dudes -
I do a fair amount of home studio recording, currently using a PV14-USB mixer run to a Boss BR1180 digie studio (live mixing to a stereo pair on the digital studio). I'd like to get an affordable laptop for home use, and may as well be sure it can do a good job recording too.

Hi,

I've got several cheap mic preamps for a number of cheap mics and I'm satisfied. However, I'm currently demoing a ShinyBox 46MXL which I -really- like, but for the fact that none of my mic preamps generate anywhere NEAR enough gain to make it practicable.

Any recommendations on a good match that won't break the bank?

Hey everyone, new to this forum so excuse me if I'm in the wrong section. I searched through old posts and didn't find my answer.

I had a friend traveling to the US and now he is in Europe, unfortunately he missed and opportunity to go score some gear for me in the US, he would be hitting London soon. He can afford bout a 1000 USD for me. A Great River pre I was looking for in the US, or the AGK 414XLS (in India its all a lot more expensive than the American market, the very little we get).

I own some Waveseq plugins, but i was recently given a cheap Alesis 1/3 octave precision equalizer...
Should i stick with the waves? or is going through hardware better...

I don't know how kosher this is so I'm going to refrain from posting the link. Samplitude 11 Producer Download Version is currently going for $119CDn! Uh. Dirt cheap ladies and gentlemen! If you are interested go check out Magix site and do a search. A great deal for a great piece of software.

I'm in a band (surprise!) and we're looking to record our first demos. No awards for guessing, we need the mixer and mics dirt cheap!

I am the drummer, and I'm completely new to recording above what we've been doing so far, a guitar hero mic which just goes to USB. It's not great.

I've searched up and down this site, I've Googled, I've hit Youtube. So far the only vocal sample I could find was a female vocalist using a FatHead II, which was posted on this site.

Anybody have any source of samples/demo tracks/etc with these mics?

Best di box under $50?
I understand they make pro ones for $100+, but my budget can't handle that at the moment.

It would be for a uke with an acoustic pickup for live use. Possibly some direct bass recording.

Thanks!
