Hello.This is my first post here.
I've got a Roland VS-2480CD,and have started attempting to record better drum tracks for my tunes.
My kick drum and 3 toms are miced with Digital Reference mics.
The snare and hi-hat have a Shure SM58 stuck in between them.
There is a Behringer B-1 condenser up high and centered,as an overhead.

I'm familiar with the features and specs of these units but I'm looking to hear from people who have used either or both of them. They are both high-endboxes, the STT1 offers the valve routing, etc. Preferences? Dislikes?

POWERFUL, NEW HARMONIC EQUALIZATION SOFTWARE PRODUCES FLAWLESS SOUND TRACKS 100% OF THE TIME WITHOUT A MASTERING ENGINEER

I guess this is a real newbie question on the biz aspects of getting music out into the market. I hope that someone out there is knowledgable and kind enough to give me a few pointers.

I've completed 11 songs and planning to record a demo. I'm not the best guitar player so I called a person to play for me by the hour. I told him we need to get together and go over before going to the studio. He mentioned co-writing and wanted to record at a friends studio. I explained I only needed a player for some rhythm. He mentioned being the producer of my songs.

I heard this thing at a MARs Music store before they went out of business. These two litte kids were singing Karaoke and sounded incredible, and on-key!

PROBLEM: I can't get the same warm - on key sound. How do you do it? Did I waste $499 ?

What is the best sounding CD available (any genre) in terms of recording and mastering job out there? I know opinions will differ, but I an wanting to buy a CD to use as a learning too (listening and learning about what I should go for in terms of sound).

I'm going to produce/engineer a 7'' EP of a band which isn't signed by any record label and either I'm not a member of any association. This CD is going to be sold on the market and sent to a record company in order that the band will get a deal. What must I do in order to protect myself and the band in order to get my royalties and prevent a typical possible rookie problem called RIP-OFF?

OK, so I've been lurking everywhere the last few months and have read basically you want Neve, API, Trident or their modern equivelents for Mic preamps and EQ modules in order to get the most from your mics for tracking.
