Hello, I just registered to this site after finding it through a few google searches. I was hoping to find Forums that would be a good place to learn from and ask a ton of questions. This seems like the right place from what I can tell so far. 8-)

Hey all, I've been dabbling in recording both analog and digital on and off for some time, but there's still a lot I need to learn.

well.. our band needs a method of recording.. and someone offered us a M-audio buddy for about 1/3 the normal price.. so we are all psyched..
but then.. we realized..
how do we connect it to the laptop? no wires were given

First off, is there a difference?

And second, I am looking at the PreSonus Firebox, and would like some advice on how to properly use it.

Thanks

...So any suggestions on a stereo parametric rackmount? The Ward Becks sounded fantastic and I hated to sell, but that's how I got the Neves.

hey everyone,

I've decided to scratch my mixing console and go with a mic preamp / AD setup. I only use the console for the mic preamps anyways so it's really pointless to have it in my setup.

I am using an SM57 to record my guitar cabinet. At random times during a recording the volume level will drop signifigantly (like -10 dB) and randomly return to its normal level. It generally does not stay between the two extremes. Also the line can get a little noisy when this happens (not a lot like a loud hum, but noticable enough where it is annoying).

Hello, this is a quality message board. Thanks for having me.

ever since i purchased my mbox 2 mini i have had a problem getting decent volume from my mics through the low-z XLR input. both of the 1/4" line inputs work fine when plugged into a guitar amp. the mbox 2 mini is supposed to have a preamp on the XLR input but i have to crank the gain up to 10 to hear anything from both of my mics.

Hey everyone!
