Hey guys, I was wondering:

For acoustic music

What would the difference sound like between using an SM57 and a Behringer Xenyx 502 - http://www.shop.music4you.co.il/catalog/images/502big.jpg

Compared to using a firepod and some decent condenser microphones?

I just bought this second hand to house an autotune and pre but there is NO WAY to screw these things in. It's impossible to get your hand inside the thing to screw the nut onto the bolt. Are there some sort of clips instead that I need to pick up?

My post-hardcore/grindcore band is recording this Wednesday (hopefully). We were going to have a friend with a bunch of recording equipment record us but she's too busy so we're trying to rent equipment in addition to the equipment I have right now. Which is...

I am upgrading my studio completely this is what i have in mind of getting:
Mackie 24/8 board, Running into a MOTU 24 I/O PCI into the DAW then coming back out of the MOTU 24 I/O back into input B on the Mackie for final Mixdown and finally ending up in the Alesis ML9600 Master Link CD Burner.

Hey I've been out of the scene for a while and a friend of mine just bought some equipment .. i'm trying to figure out the best way to set this stuff up. . any recommendations on setup and other equipment to buy?

Hello hello. Just registered here to finally get guidance on something Ive always wanted to do.

What good equipment or programs are out there under $700.00 that can produce good strings, symphony, orchestra sounds?

I mainly play guitar (8 years), but Ive always loved the ambient symphonic (real word?) stuff.

Hi, I'm a college student and I've been writing and recording music for years. However, being on a budget, the extent of my recording has involved plugging a computer mic into the line-in of my PC and recording through Adobe Audition. The software is great, but my soundcard is lacking, which leaves me frustrated, because I would like better quality results.

Hey guys,

I need a portable easy to use (no laptop) setup that I can use to record classical performances... Mainly chamber music (2-4 instruments) primarily clarinet and piano.. no orchestras =).

I go to an arts academy and it is essential that I find some way to record myself.

I do not need super high end equipment either...

So I need suggestions for some broadcasting gear for our college radio station. We are soon going to AM and will be upgrading our equipment.

We just bought a Radiosystems RS12 broadcast board. We have a UREI compressor on the output and a basic EQ.

Can anyone give me the name of someone I can contact and hopefully speak with that can give me advice regarding Wordclock connections and or work arounds in my recording system?
