So I am recording from a Yamaha USB Mixing Studio MW10, into both PC and Mac using both Garageband and Cubase LE.

In the next few weeks, I'll be doing a combo video/audio recording of myself singing opera arias with grand piano accompaniment. The room is an open choir room with nice but not excessive reverb.

Hey All,

Hi everyone, Im new to the forum.

my question is about low latency monitoring and how to hook up my rig.

I'm using logic 8, dual 2.7ghz g5 4.5 gb ram.

recording source in>dav bg1 pre-amp>(soon to be LynX l22, or similar) into logic 8 then lynx22>m-patch passive volume controls>monitors and headphones.

Hello, first time poster, long time home studio musician. Hoping to get some insightful answers.

First up, the pertinent info about my setup:

Windows XP
Sonar 4.0
Behringer MX9000
M-Audio Delta 1010

With a number of hardware synths, Alesis QS6 for sounds & midi keyboard, Roland TD8, misc. hardware processors.

So two questions:

Im on a really tight budget (250 - 500) and I've been doing a lot of research and it sounds to me like my best bet is the following three pieces of equipment:

1. multitrack Mixing software (download free)
2. PCI card (best sound per $ (vs. USB/firewire))
3. multi track connected directly into card (record 2 guitar, 1 bass, 2 vocal, drums)

I moved my entire studio into a bedroom that has really low wood ceilings (7-8 feet). My vocals and acoustic guitars seem to have a lot of bass. I'm using a RODE ntk. Do you think I should move it to an area where there is vaulted ceilings? The room its in now is probably the quite room in the house. Would using an eq fix the problem?

I'm having trouble with some live music in the way that we have just okay mics, and the songs we play sound pretty good, but sometimes when the vocal melody has a really low part, it gets lost in the music and you can't understand the words, which is understandable because the bass frequencies mix and mingle with the other stuff and don't get heard as much.

I have a lot of pro audio experience dating about 10 years ago but my life moved in a different direction so I'm a bit lost. I want to achieve sub 10ms latency with guitar rig 3.

Hey all,

was just wondering what would be the best type of speaker/driver to use as a microphone to capture kick drum. Hi-fi type driver (traditionaly softer) or a firmer type, like a PA speaker and the like?
Was thinking a 10 or 12 inch, again, open to suggestions!

cheers,
