So I've been recording myself and different bands I've been in for 5 years or so with Cubase SX and am comfortable enough with the program that I've started offering local bands my services at their jam space. It'll give me some good experience, and will be cheaper for the band then going to a studio, with hopefully the same quality.

There are a lot of kewl and versatile lighting mounts for photography and it seems like they'd be good to have around for creative mic mounting problems. I've seen the studs with 1/4" thread on one end and 3/8" thread on the other - a 3/8-16-5/8-27 bushing could go on those and then a mic clip/shock-mount, but too many adapters and such leads to having stuff move when you don't want it to.

My current headphones are Koss R/80's and they are falling apart. (y)

OKay so my "studio" is in the basement. I was wondering about possible ways to create an isolation room for my guitar amp. It's just a Crate Palamino V16 - Does anyone create or know of any kind of plans to create a box to isolate the sound? Is this possible? Or am I crazy?

Hello. I was wondering why people use isolation booths for vocals but say that they sound like a "phone booth" when it comes to recording acoustic guitar. Doesn't the "phone booth" sound also apply to vocals?

Thanks
Mike

I'm looking for a good mic to do live vocals with. Can someone please recommend a mic for lead vocals and for backup vocals?

Im in the market for a master clock ( Big Ben ). It has been pointed out to be that Antelope Audio Isochrone is comparable unit to the Big Ben.Im curious if there are some comments on the Antelope Audio Isochrone or if anyone has compared the two.

Im currently looking for a good quiet pair of cans so i can expieriment with mic placement techniques(around drumsets and Amps).

My price range is preferably between 75-170. But if there is a jewel at 200 dollars ill splurge. I dont intend on spending over 200.

I've been told about these guys for a vocal booth solution in my apartment (http://www.isobooth.com) and I'm seriously considering getting the platinum model. Just wondering if anybody has opinions or experience with them? reasons why I sould or shouldn't go this route.
