Thanks a lot!

At some points in my recording, when the singer ups his volume for a phrase or line, it sounds like the music behind it is being muffled, and sounds like if some one were covering the speaker with their hand and then removing it, if you know what I mean. Obviously the speaker has to be hand size, but you know what I mean. Any idea on how I can fix this?

Ok, i finally have money coming in so i can buy some more recording equipment. Im after selling my Mbox2 so all i have is an sm57 and a stereo pair of t bone em800. I'v decided on getting the PreSonus firepod for the interface but cant decide on if i need a preamp with an eq and compressor or a separate eq and compressor.

I'm making the switch from PC to Mac on my laptop, although I'll still be using PC in my studio. I use Cubase 4 in the studio and Cubase Studio 4 on my laptop. I've used freeware plugins like Kjaerhus Classics and Pushtec on my laptop and installed the same plugs in the studio, that way I can transfer projects without any hassle.

Anyone feel like sharing their faveorite compressor for the ever painful snare drum? I'm at a point in my mixing career that I'm tired of the built in compressor in Adobe Audition. And I'm also no longer satisfied by my mixes, i don't really know why but I just don't like how they sound, mainly in the drum department.

What are your favorite of each, for maybe around $100 each? I don't have a problem with Behringer and I don't want to go too crazy especially because I'll be having this in my dorm room.

I already have -> Firepod, SM57, and AT2020 for microphones. I want just one more mic and a vocal compressor so I can play + sing at the same time and have a more leveled out vocal track.

hi guys

I am using windows XP Home on my acer aspire 5630 lap top, each time I try to install my Tascam with the 1.03 updater it crashes on me. I installed windows Xp home as a second operating system so that i can run my Tascam 122L, but unfortunately i wasted my money :( I believe it could be a driver that is installed on my laptop thats causing the crash but I'm unsure of it.
