Is there a rackmount multiband compressor that one could possibly afford? Or can you only find this effect in plugin format? Is there a way to group some basic plugins together to create multi-band compression? I somehow think this question belongs on a different forum.

Hi guys!
I'm a beginner guitar player and want to strat doing some recording. As i don't want to spend much money for the moment i want to buy one only mic to record both, guitar and singing. Which is the best option?dynamic or condenser?any specific model?
I was also thinking of using it to record some percussion,djembe.

Thanks

How would a professional studio typically record a multipiece "rock" band in terms of what order to track the different instruments in, if the goal was to get a fairly high quality recording.

Whats up guys, well this site seems pretty advanced for where i'm at but i'm just looking to get some demos up on Myspace sorta thing.

...what do you think about this BOSS recorder i'm thinking of getting.

thanks a lot for any replies.

So here is the deal...

I want to get a laptop to use as a mobile DAW/electronic(midi)insturment/effects processor. I have the PreSonus Firpod and use a Cubase/Reason combo and a variety of plugins (Waves, Amplitube, etc.) to do most of my recording/production. I was wondering if it would be better to get a multi-core comp (c2d or X2) or get a single core processor.

I am getting a little frustrated with the tools at my disposal for recording multi-channel audio. We use a Lynx Aurora/AES16 for our top gigs and a Mackie Onyx for lesser jobs.

Hey i'm ordering my new 24" iMac soon than will come the digi 002 rack. I'm just not sure how the multi-channel preamp works with the 002 can anyone sum that up for me? What does it need to have/do? Also which would you recommend on a budget. The guy at my local pro audio store recomended a prosonus one not the firepod but another one that was 1300 bucks which is way to high for me.

after much consideration on my previous topic. i have considered to buy a digital multi-track recorder. but what is your opinion on it? would a firewire system be a better choice?

right now i am looking at the Fostex MR8HD Digital Multi-track Recorder & the Alesis MulitMix 8 FireWire 8 channel mixer/interface

my price range is now up to $450 USD.

I'm dying to get a new microphone now that I can't borrow my old room mate's one anymore, which was a GrooveTubes GT66. I'm kind of a newb when it comes to mics! I want to get something that will suit my needs for recording vocals and occasionally guitars, instruments or random noises. I would even consider two different mics if they stayed within my price range!

Hello!

I'll consider investment in a multi-channel compressor/gate system. What comes to mind is the PreSonus ACP88 : http://www.PreSonus.com/acp88.html

Since I have no pressing hurry for the same, I'll hold on if there are better products that will be worth investing in. Im looking at both Studio and Live use.
