hi everyone. i'm new to this forum.

i write and record music in my parents house in a small room. not exactly sure how big it is, or the dimensions, but it's small. let me give you a run down of my cheap recording set up:

A couple of questions on recording/mixing acoustic guitar. I have a session coming up in few days to record aome acoustic GTR. I will be running direct into an ISA428>MOTU 2408MKIII>Logic Platinum. That's the easy part.

Greetings,

i love this site... ive been reading it for a while and finally have a question i couldnt find an answer through by surfing through it. here it goes...

Great forum - spent a long while lurking and learning a lot. Especially how to spend a lot of money on top class audio recording software. I'll stick with Cubase in the interim, thanks :oops: Anyway, to my question:

I just ordered a K2 today. Was wondering about other peoples experiences using a tube mic (specifically the K2) on cabinets...
Thanks

I am using Acid 5.0. I am currently recording direct in using a V-Amp. Do I need to keep using the v-amp, or just go dry in and add effects after it is in. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi there,

I seen Kurt recommend the Littlelabs Distro and such, but they are extremely expensive.

Are there any out there that are a little less money and still work half decent? Thanks!

This is a dumb question! How do I safely run a guitar head through my board. I'm guessing with a DI Box, but can you safely just run out of the heads main out into the line in on the board?

If I need a DI what do you advise on?

When recording the guitars on my band's latest CD I have noticed that there is a constant "steaming/whistling" sound on the tracks that is similar to a boiling tea kettle.

I am using an Ibanez SZ through Peavey JSX head with a Randall 2x12 with Jensens. The mic I am using is an SM57. It is going into my Behringer mixer and into my Yamaha XG sound card. I am using Sonar 3 to record.

All.

Are there any outboard EQs that are recommended specifically for acoustic guitar? I'd need two channels (stereo or twin mono).

I already have the pres I need so am looking for EQ only.

LMK.
