Alright, I have been trolling this forum for a bit now and decided that you guys could help me, should you choose to

Hi,

I'm planning to record drums using my PC, Edirol FA-101 audio IF and mixer. Recording will be done using 8 input channels.

Edirol has following inputs:

- 2 x CH with mic preamps
- 2 x CH Line In (adjustable from -10dBu to +4 dBu)
- 4 x Line In (+4 dBu)

Got a question:

My son has a kind of small recording space in our old guest room. We've been thinking about making a larger room-in-a-room personal studio in the garage for a better recording space. But, it's damn expensive. I had a thought. Please tell me if it is worth considering.

hello all,

i have an aardvark q10 and i really like it but i would like to capitalize on its ability to have two more inputs through S/PDIF. and so I'm looking for preamps that have S/PDIF output.

it would be nice if the preamps would be a little step up from the pres in the aardvark or at least might provide a different 'flavor' or 'color' than the aardvark's.

My understanding is that coming out of the preamp is a 'line level'. And if your multiitrack doesn't have a line level input and you go thru another input you are just going thru the multitrack's preamp, which is what you are trying to avoid even though you may have 'warmed' up your sound with the external preamp.

How do you use an external preamp, I mean like what input do you plug it into on a multitrack?

I haven't been here in about a year and it is great to see many familiar names and lots of new ones too.

I have been looking into my signal path as it will be (hopefully) after Christmas time. Which led to looking at impedance matching and proper paths. (something I needed to better understand).

Hello out there!

I'm putting together my first portable digital system, and hope I'm in the right forum!

I'm looking for components that are compatible with my ibook g4. My ultimate goal is to take the recordings of samples, transfer to my ibook, and mainpulate the samples.

Here's what I've come up with so far (budget is about a grand):

I am going into a home studio to work on a project for a band. Here is a list of the mics and mic preamp's they have available to them..

I am starting to get frustrated at how few decent analog consoles one can buy for $2000. I've been outbid on eBay for a Ghost and an A&H GS3 and I'm not sure I want to make a deal with the Mackie 8 Bus devil yet.
