What are the general feeling of audio quality coming out of low/mid priced digital setups. I use a Tascam US-122 and cubasis. I am not very satisfied with output.
Guitars, percussion, vox into 57/58's, RODE K2, Nakamichi condensers, AMPEX tube preamps.

i am looking for professional quality recordings of rap vocals at an affordable price on my home pc. can somebody give me a few ideas Im looking fOR the best quality equipment to achieve my task for a reasonable price... remember this is just to record rap vocals.

I made my 1st y splitter. my design is a bit different than others I've seen so I want to make sure there is no obvious quality problem with my design before I wire all my mic preamp outs this way. I'm trying to incorperate a very poor quality 8 channel XLR to XLR snake to send for headphone monitoring to save money.

Hi all,
I'm looking for which headphones to buy for my studio, mainly for putting vocals down and some editing work when my 2 year old is sleeping.
I want really good quality, which is best? Would $500 ish get something pretty special?
I'd apreciate any feedback.
Thanks
:D

Hey everyone!

I'm recording in Sonar, now at 24/48, but some of my projects are now mixed 16 and 24bit in one project. When I export the final .wav mix, am I sacrificing quality by exporting to a 24bit file if some audio is originally recorded at 16bit?
What happens to the 16 bit audio, is it upsampled?

Anybody have any tips here? Should I just go with mogami or is there something cheaper that's just as good?

Thanks.

Hi,

I have lousy comp, so i need to save a lot on CPU. So i wos thinking when i made a song (for exmp) in Fruity loops render each track in wav adn then open tham in Soundforge and mix there. Now my question is will i lose any quality cos of that?

I've got a Digi 002r interface and today I bought a PreSonus HP4 headphone amp. I had been using the monitor outs with balanced 1/4 inch cables into the back of the monitors. I set up the HP4 today using the main L and R outputs into the HP4, then the HP4's L and R outputs into the monitors using good quality mogami balanced cables.

Ok I hope I'm not asking a stupid question but when Mackie claims that the SRM powered monitors are of "studio" quality are they kidding? Could those speakers actually be used to do basic tracking, and mixing? Cause at the same price as the Mackie studio monitors it sure would be sweet if one could use them for both stage and studio.

What would macgyver do?
