Hey i'm currently *planning* on putting together a PA system, but I also want a little setup to lay down some tracks. I'm interested in the Mackie Onyx 1640 because of the obvious. I could use it for my PA and use the firewire card and lay down 16 tracks.

Did a search and did not find this so here goes.
Instead of starting with equipment, would like to start with a room and do the math or use software to determine how much wattage to put in it to obtain a certain dB.

Anyone know where to start to get there?
Room is approx 100x60x20.
Standard sheetrock walls.
Carpeted Floors

Thanks,

i was curious. .does the mic and the sound equipment change the quality of a person voice? like does the mic quality change the sound of the person voice for better? also does the equipment quality do the same?

My band is using the ddx3216 for our live sound. The thing that we are having trouble with is getting signals (with processing) to our monitors.

so i am doing live sound and I'm about to mic a marshall half stack(fancy tan/brown tweed mesh) with a 57 in the top right speaker and the guitarist tells me it sounds better if you mic the bottom speaker because of the design/acoustics on the cab.

I didnt question him and just miked it on the bottom right.

Is there any truth to this?

I am 15 years old. I hope to be a full time studio engineer and live sound man.

This is my current setup: (its all crap)

• Behringer UB2442FX Mixer
• Fostex MR8 8 track recorder
• Peavey 2000 Escort PA
• Shure PG Drum Mics

And a lot of other cheap stuff..
