Hi folks, any one have any sugestions on recording an Oboe, Mic placement,? I am thinking of wood floor, is that a good Idea?
Thanx in advance
Peace and good sessions to you all

Howdy all,

First off, great board, have learned a ton already.

I am having a fundamental issue, though. That is, I can't seem to get my mixes past that 90% mark. They sound good, "rock", etc. But they're a bit congested, despite using EQ and compression on tracks to slot things into place.

Hello folks,

First off, I'd like to give a warm thanks to all at recording.org for their help over the months. but...

I have this old Behringer Edison-Stereo image enhancer that I've had a lot of fun with. I've used it a lot on Bg-vocals. I really like the way you can expand the stereo-image and be able to move the center from "front" to "rear" ( and vice versa).
Now I know that you'll say that all the Behringer stuff are crap... So my question is:

Thinking about purchasing the Dynaudio Bm15's.

The passive model is about $1500.00 less. I do have a Harmon Kardon citation 100 watt power amp I can use, but my DA converter outputs are Xlr and the inputs on the power amp are rca. Would there be any advantage over getting the active version than the passive model.

Hello all,

I've been involved with recording/synths for quite some time now, but as of yet I haven't done anything with sequencers. I don't know much about them and I'm wondering which ones are better for beginners.

hi,

i'm new here.

just bought an AKG 535EB small diaphram condenser and was wondering whether leaving it attached to a stand in my room would be ok - does it shorten it's lifespan in any way or will recording quality be affected by dust settling in? should i keep it in the box? will leaving the sponge/wind shield on have any negative effects?

Hi there.
I am tracking these two instruments, and am hopeing for some sugestions, as to mic choice and placement. Should I place them on a wooden floor?
They won't be tracked at the same time.
THanks in advance

If the frequency response of DSD goes upto 100kHz, then what speakers actaully lets my brain aware of these freqs? I.e the freq. of most monitors just dont go that high so therefore we'd be much better just have that has more bits than freqs?

when I apply effects to my inst. and vocals and listen to it through my headphones and it sounds great but when i hear it through my monitors i can hardly hear the effects. What source should I trust the monitors or the headphones?
