I am recording my band's rehearsals (and possible gigs down the road) using a Tascam US-16x8 and Garageband. I am using multiple tracks. and for the first attemp recorded the whole rehearsal as one project. I have used Audacity in the past (2 tracks) and it was easy to then mix and extract the...

I´ve been asked to record a guy in a living room playing guitar and singing. I first thought to have a cardioid for the singer and the shotgun for the guitar so I can get better signals from each source. But then we discussed a bit more and decided it would be nice to have some of the ambient...

Hi, my name is George Grenfell and I am studying a masters degree in audio engineering. I have a passion for live sound and have always aspired to be a live sound engineer! I am looking to learn about live sound and the lives of you pro sound engineers so i am writing a research report on...

Hi , need help deciding on mic and comp for live performance. At the mo my wife uses 58 beta into presonus live desk ( below unity gain ) . She has a big dynamic range . We do some jazzy stuff with not much pressure to blues where she belts it out . She uses mic technique ,but at times pulling...

I'm looking for a way to use drum triggers to trigger my SP404sx in a live drum set up. I also have a Scarlett Focusrite 2i4 that could be used in the setup if necessary. Could anyone tell me how I could achieve this? What sort of drum triggers I could use (something like the Roland BT-1 bars...

Hello, I've watched all the tutorials and read all the manuals, and I can't figure out how to change the key for hard-tune presets in VoiceLive Touch. It appears it's possible to change the key for harmony, but not for the hard-tune scale. As a result, many of the melodies I'd like to sing...

Is anyone using this interface? I love it because it's also a physical mixer but it has some quirks which I've noticed on other presonus equipment as well. I use it with Mixcraft 8 Pro Studio and it works fine but after being armed for a couple of hours, seems to need a release and renew of the...

Hi all, I'm setting it up with some friends to record an album live in my homestudio. Right off the bat I will say there is literally nothing special about my living room, no acoustic treatment, just a living room. I've tracked drums in there by hanging a bunch of rugs over windows and walls...

I've been a Thomann customer for years - my number one source, as in try them first, and only order elsewhere when they can't help - so I got a shock yesterday. On-line I tried to order some products and at checkout noticed a notice saying delivery delay - so clicked on it, and got informed they...

I LOVE tracking cowbell as I am among other things a percussionist but sometimes the snare hits are off (cause it can't possibly be me) ;>) and I can't read minds. Ha ha! So how do I trigger my cowbell off the snare so I don't have to line them up. Is this possible without a sampling plug in...

I'm looking to buy a bunch of audio equipment for amplifying/recording live talks in front of an audience. I want to be able to record each mic as it's own .wav file (into my laptop using Adobe Audition or similar) before sending it to the PA so I can separately adjust gain during the live...

Is there a consensus or short list on the best microphones for miking amp cabs during a live recording session in a noisy venue ? Also, the same for vocals ? Consider these will not be in the PA. They will be sent via snake straight to my recording interface and captured on computer HD. Im...

Linea Research have released the latest and most powerful member of their 44M family: the 44M20. This has the mind-boggling specs of four 5KW power amplifiers in one 2U 13Kg chassis, designed for touring companies where subs have to be powered and fed independently from the mids/tops. Its main...

Hello, I'm about to try a new approach to live monitoring in rock gigs. Playing in a rock band, I always have issues with live stage sound. It's never good enough. So I'll try a new system in which I'll control my on monitor. (see atttached image). My issue is: I have a balanced input (either...

I am an amateur with audio recording, and while I think I am good at some thing, here is a stupid question: I have 2 field recorders (Tascam DR-40) and am recording some classical musicians (piano/violin duo). One of the recorders has a stereo pair of small diaphragm condensers plugged in, and...

G'day, new here. I'm at an intermediate level of home recording. Have produced/engineered a couple of records, one of which was played on radio so at a certain level of skill but still consider myself a novice with much to learn really. Been running an Maudio profire 2626 with a Mac, using...

Ok so i've had the same issue with 2 separate units now. When making a patch, I set the key of the song in "hardtune" and no matter how many times I store the preset, as soon as I scroll to another preset and go back to the one I had just saved, the key as been reset to C. So obviously this unit...
