For "real" mastering, what is everyone using? I do mastering and everyone says that I don't use "real" equipment, although I constantly hear that what I use has been used for major recordings. Also, I have never had a complaint from any of my customers.

hi,
I'm looking at making some beats and from what i can tell, i can do it with beat makers. what i would like to know is exactly what these beat makers are. how do they work, and do they plug into my computer directly? (USB - sound inputs, what?). also, i only have the onboard sound, so (remembering it is a laptop) what Inputs/Outputs should i get for the sound card.

I am upgrading my recording system. I now have an older 16-bit ADAT system along with the BRC AND THE aleis X2 24-channel board. I could get the Alesis 24xz. That would work well with all my equipment. But.

hi there. i am trying to put together a home studio that will be able to record live muli-track. as of now, i've been just recording one track at a time, and i'm ready to jump to the next level.

Hey everyone, merry christmas.
It was especially merry for me because I have just come into a bunch of cash for throwing around. I've been researching a lot lately on the type of equipment I want to get, I'll run everything down for you.
I need atleast 8XLR inputs, as I want to be able to record drums, small quartets, etc.

Hi to all,

Just curious to see if it's possible to have old 16 bit converters replaced with conventional 24 bit converters? I have an old roland E660 parametric eq that I'd like to experiment with.

Hey everyone. I'm looking into purchasing some recording hardware for my band. We want to be able to record our own music and get a decent quality.

My question is what hardware do we need to do this. I know we need the mics, cables, and a computer, but what do we plug the mics into to get the recording on to the computer?

Greetings! I'm trying to figure out what would be the best setup for the following gear. . There's probably several different ways one could go about doing this, and I've started but have a few questions.. I'm kind of new to all of this but recently had the opportunity to design a small studio for a non-profit. If anyone could help with a diagram or some advice I'd really appreciate it..

anyone have info or know of a place on online where i can find info on what ideal sound equipment requirements are for certain numbers in an audience? by the way...this is for hip hop shows.

for example:
setup for 100 - 300 people
setup for 300 - 500 people
setup for 500 - 700 people
setup for 700 - 1000 people
etc. .
