​I am setting up my first home studio for doing some personal singer/songwriter hobby-oriented stuff and recently received my first audio interface and serious mic in the mail. I'm having trouble and am trying to determine whether something is defective, so I can return it in time, or if the poor quality is just the way it is.

Alright. Hopefully there is someone who has a knowledge of recording and would love to share. Here is my situation:

I currently record a lot of guitar + vocal covers using a Canon Vixia HV30. After noticing the sound quality was lacking, I purchased a RODE Videomic which was definitely a step up, but still was not at the level I was expecting.

Hi. I was just wondering how I can get a radio quality sound with the equipment I've got. Here's my list. .

PreSonus firestudio, sterling audio st69 vocal mic, vox guitar amp, drumagog, Sonar home studio 4 and Wavesmercury bundle effects plugins. Do you think I can get radio quality stuff?

I seem to be experiencing an issue with my panning.

Hi everyone,

First post here. I'm slowly getting back into the home recording arena after a hiatus.

I'm very intrigued by Pro Tools 9 and its ability to handle other audio interfaces. I used to record on a Digi001 but that's been on the shelf now for a few years. That being said, I'm also looking at other DAW's (reaper, logic, etc.).

I don't expect a big discussion here, but for the record, I was blown away by how much of a difference the quality of a DI box makes to the clarity of the audio signal. We have ProCo CB-1 DI boxes at our church and last night I took my Radial ProAV2 DI to a practice for comparison with an acoustic guitar.

Hi, I'm recording and bouncing drum beats from my mpc in Pro Tools 7.4. The sound quaility is good when i record it but after I bounce to my computer the sound is very poor (sounds like its blown out). Does anyone know what the problem is and how I can solve it? Thanks.

Hello all, if you have advice for me, I'd very much appreciate it. If there are already threads on this, sorry I haven't found them yet.

I purchased (second-hand) the Omega interface, and bought some mics (MXL 990,991). I'm running 10.4.11 on my mac, and have yet to get the required installer to run the Cubase LE that came with the Omega, so I'm using GarageBand.

So i have all this equipment but i feel like I'm not using its full potential.
i have it set-up like this:

RODE NT1-A ---> PreSonus TubePRE ----> dbx 266XL ----> Mbox 2 ----> Pro Tools 8/ Windows Vista
