Is it possible to do a great sounding mix using only headphones? If yes then:
1) Which headphones to use?
2) What are the key issues to be aware of
3) Any tips?

tnx,

Hi,

Hey guys

I've been toying around with the NSKit Soundfont and some others for drum tracks. Using keyboard to input each instrument into a separate midi track.

I'm recording Banjo and Mandolin. Anyone here got experience recording these instruments? I'm not happy with the sound I get from my existing mics (AKG 3000C and an SM57). The space I'm recording in doesn't have a particularly nice sound, so I think I'm looking for something fairly directional. And it will have to be under 200 US$/ 160 GB£.

Thanks, Jim.

Saw some great deals on Dell, and I'm about to call them up about some more technical stuff (motherboard, expansion possibilities) but I'm wondering if anyone has recently built a DAW around a Dell, and if so, what'd they put into it?

Hi all,
I am just thinking of getting something done with my power. I am currently using APC battery buckup (500 VA) and power conditioner to connect my main studio components (Avalon 737 preamp, Mackie hr824 monitors, PC, synths). My question is: will getting balanced power or voltage regulator units improve the quality of the sound?

Hi

I hope someone can help me with this.

The problem is: I'm having a lot of 50Hz in my audio signal.

I have a 24/96khz ad/da and maintain audio at 32 bits internally for processing and mixing prior to dithering back to 16 bits for burning to CD.

I'm running XPpro on five PCs in our family. The sixth has Win98se on a 2GB HDD. It's my 4 year-olds. Can I get XPpro to run on a drive that small? He's running Dr. Seuss and the like (though he has already burned his first audio composition on Dad's system! - what a whacked out track!) and I'd like his PC to run like Mom and Dad's.

Thanks.
