Hi I could use some opinionson the following issue,

I just bought a set of hr824's (hurray!) and due to a sudden lessening in purchasing power I am forced to consider cheap solutions for buying stands for them.

I can get a pair of quik lok bs 300 stands for less then a half of it's normal price.

My only weak link left in my studio is my DDA-console which is not bad but not compareable to high-end consoles either. The rest of my gear is up there. I use my studio only for my own productions and I've made the recording chain a priority 'coz i mix in larger facilities.

Hello,

Hi All,

Firstly, just want to say that there are some great posts going here. I've mainly been an engineer for rock/pop over the years, yet have always appreciated classical music, and I'm looking at using some classical recording techniques to record a few tracks of a group I'm currently working with.

Recently I have decided to make an attempt at coming up with enough equipment to run a small home studio. As of now I am on a fairly tight budget. I currently have several mics and all the computer/I/O hardware that I need. As for mics I have several sm57s, a d112, a pair of AKGC1000s and a Blue Dragonfly. I need suggestions on what I should do for preamps .

Hi,
which mixer would be best sounding for live performance or recording elec bass/guitar rig ? (mostly using line or mic outs from from preamp and FX outputs going into the mixer channels) . Is the sound quality of the Allen Heath MixWizard3 or Mackie Onyx pretty much equal?

Hi,

I'm about to record a drum kit. Since my tracking room is a small one (2.0 m wide 5.0 m long 2.5 m high) there's no other chance than placing the kick drum so close to the wall.

What kind of problems may occur in this situation and what are your recommendations to overcome.

Thanks

Hi everyone.
I'm interested in buying a small mixer, but don't intend to use the preamps on it. What I'm interested in is simple functions like panning and levels, as I need to use a Decca-Tree setup for some concert recordings, and want to a live mix to two channels.
