Hi,

I've been doing the bedroom recording thing for a while using very basic stuff (USB mic, Sonar 7). I'm looking to kick it up a notch in the near future.

I'd like to be able to record several tracks at once and have them all record to their own track. I'm thinking USB short term and Firewire long term (Phase III maybe?).

I am looking into the above (Audio interface eg. good mic preamp's with converters, usb, 2-8 xlr/TRS inputs without midi.

Hi.. Ive been recording vocals/guitar/keyboard and a bit of drums for almost 2 years now, but I use a soundcraft board which runs through the "Line in" audio on my computer. My issue is when I record multiple tracks at the same time they have to be PERFECT in equalization because they all record to the same track.

Started thinking about the various Neve 1073 inspired preamps out there and decided to start a list to compare. Now, I guess any transformer-based preamp is "inspired" by the 1073, but I just started a list of current production models available in the US that have some direct connection to the 1073. In the notes, "clone eq" means an eq that closely resembles the 1073.

I really need some Good Advice & Help with Planning a Home recording studio. This seems like one of the best forum on the Net for studio setup and gear, so I feel like you guys can Really Help me..

Hi,

i was thinking the universal audio 710 twinfinity, that seems interesting
or maybe the summit audio
i wanted a hybrid but I'm not sure
i need a good vocal preamp
something with color
i was also looking at the universal audio 610 solo
or a modded golden age 73 with Neve parts and carnhill inputs
i use a hard disk recorder not a computer

I know this sounds like a stupid question, but I was wondering if someone could give me a dumbed down explanation of what exactly a microphone preamp is, what its benefits are over plugging directly into to an interface (such as an MBox), essentially how to use it, and what some decent mic preamp for not a lot of money.

I am a lead vocalist in a LOUD band. We have only been playing for about a year so needless to say we don't have the best equipment yet, so I'm looking to upgrade. Our biggest problem in my opinion is that we play way louder than we need to and the venues we play and our equipment can't handle the high volumes.

Hi guys,
I need to record piano recitals with 3 or 4 Audio Techinca mics. I use MOTU 896HD with Macbook Pro and Logic Pro, but it isn't really a "portable" solution. So I wonder if Tascam DR680 or ROLAND R44 could be a good solution. In your opinion MOTU's preamps (and generally the recording quality) are better then DR680 and R44, or not? Quality is similar or not?
