Hi there! I have a pretty dumb question, but I gotta ask it. What is proper path between a mic and a recorder (assuming you are working with a compressor, a pre-amp, and a mixer). In what order to you plug things in? If you use aux sends on the mixer, do the mixers preamps get bi-passed? Help!
Thanks all!
Beau.

I did my first major drum Micing the other day and used Recorderman's technique.

I had a hard time getting the over the shoulder microphone to be the proper distance from the kick when using the mic cable to measure..any thoughts on achieving this would be cool. I was only using one heavy duty mic stand with a custom 2 foot spacing bar that had the swivel extensions on the end...

Hi there

Im new in this forum, but i've seen that their are many gurus out there, and i could have some help of them.
I have a laptop: P4 2.4, 352MB RAM, 30G HD WinXP Home running Cubase SX, with my M-Audio Duo.

I would like to start recording rock bands with my laptop.

Hi:

I'm new to the recording field and trying to learn all I can. What exactly is a half track 2 track recorder? I know it's a reel-to-reel deck, but what is the half track all about. Is this used to record your final mix on?

thanks

Hello! What you think of the X/Y for the O.Hs?
I got an Neumann 69 fet - stereo Mic.

Thanks

Anyone had experiences with these beasts? Anyone able to compare and contrast? I am sick of computer recording and want something else that is hard disk based (I like the copy/paste and undo functions, it's true). Any ideas? Doc

Just want to give my input to this seemingly important topic.

Howdy Folks,

hi all,
so many questions so little time. .

Im curious as to how good analog tape can sound. i am currently on the look out for a analouge 16 track or 24 track for my studio.

can you guyz suggest some reliable brands,low noise etc & things a analog novice like my self should look out for when purchasing a second hand tape machine?

Hello,

Thanks to all for your input on building the studio.

I'm going to go the computer route. However, I've got a bunch of stuff that I'd like to record asap in highest quality form that I can burn to CD, while I complete the longer term goal of building and learning the computer system.
