I just bought two Mics a Shure KSM44 and a SM7b now I just need too get a nice quality matching preamp to go with them. one of my worries is too get enough good clean gain from the preamp for my SM7b Mic .which I know is going to take a lot of gain 60 to 70db any good seggestions to power it? ...I found a good used Grace within my budget. I would appreacate your advice and suggestions?

have a mixer that has been sitting for a while and collected a lot of dust. just wondering what you folks use to clean dust from the inside of slider sluts and other inputs. compressed air? thanks!

Hello, I just have a Tascam m30 for very low money and I would like to clean it up.
The Lights are OK, Most of the channels are good except one and a bus which are very very low! (Are they dead?)

There is some dust on the console and I believe, inside...

What is the best way to mix clean guitar? The guitar parts are mostly ska upbeats and there are a few clean guitar riffs.

Not really sure if this is the right forum, although i do use Ableton and CoolEdit Pro as my primary editing and recording tools My current challenge is this. I have been trying to edit a field recording of a loved one that was recorded in a moving car.

advice please

I have Samplitude but havent got to deep into it yet.

Is there a way to do this in Samplitude?

If so can you explain it fairly easily?

Thanks

I am in the process of remodeling my studio/office. When I complete it I am going to record and produce an audio book. I will be recording into my pc using Adobe Audition 3(as soon as it's released). I have a Shure KSM44 for my mic. My issue is from the mic to the computer. Do I need a sound card with some sort of multiple io or a audio card with just fire wire or usb io and an interface.

I just bought a Shure Sm48 on ebay. I have no idea where it has been, and since it will be close to my mouth an touching my lips I would liek to clean it. Do I take the grille off? Can the grille even come off fro an Sm48? What do I clena it with? etc. Thank you. Also it has some rusty stuff on it and stuff that kind of looks like boogers on it.

Hi,
I record on a Korg D8 digital machine, I have had some quite good results but one thing that people always comment on is that the vocals never quite punch through enough or sound a little foggy if that makes sense. My stuff is rock based though so not too worried but there are some songs I would like to have cleaner vox.
