An admitted recording neophyte, I need some recommendations for a mic. I am a photographer and want to record the ambient sounds of a series of photo sessions including the pop of the strobes and the vocal interactions between me and my subjects in high enough quality that the result can be used as a partial sound track for an AV slideshow with a series of still images.

Hi,
I got myself a Soundcraft EFX8 mixer. I need recommendation on sound card interface to go with it. I have 2 choice as a setup.

1- My laptop only has USB 2.0 and no PCMCIA slots. Advantage, my laptop is portable and I can do recording outside my house (I play in a Brass quintet).

I Am Putting A Home Studio 2gether...I Have Pro Tools 7,An M-Audio Solaris Mic, An Oxygen 8 v2 MIDI Controller,A Fast Track Pro Interface, And Plan On Getting An iMac Strictly 4 Recording, What Type Of Mixer Would U Recommend That I Purchase? I Am Going 2 Be Sounding-Proofing A Closet Out & Recording...I Am An Electro/Acoustic/Indie/Hip Hop Artist By The Way.

schools almost out (got about 3 weeks left) and have applied for one job like 2 days ago, and there is a full time position available in a shop in town, of which i should almost definatly get.

Hi,

Sorry, but I get confused. About 2.5 years ago I got an AMD X2 4400 that has served me -very- well. However, I need another computer now to run Adobe In Design and Flash and I was thinking I could take this thing and re-purpose it for that and get a new PC to take me into the next 2-3 years with Windows 7.

Hi:

I have a Taylor 714 that I am particularly fond of. It is an exceptionally rich-sounding guitar for both recording and performing. The Sunrise sound-hole pickup I've been using, however, is getting on my nerves.

I am finishing up an R&B / Urban Pop album and am in need of a reputable mastering house. I am definitely on a budget, but for reference, several of my favorite albums were mastered by Brian Gardner at Bernie Grundman and Chris Gehringer at Sterling Sound.

A friend of mine wants to record audio tracks for cartoons. All he is concerned about is getting decent vocal recordings. He currently has an AT2020 mic and needs an interface. Budget is $100-150, maybe a bit more. If someone could at least point us in the right direction on what to start looking at, that would be great.

Hi,

I have an old weller soldering station I got from a job I had 30 years ago. It has finally given up the ghost.
