Anyone can give me an advice? i have to buy a matched pair of condenser mics...what do you prefer: RODE NT5, AT 30 series, Oktava? yeah i know the KM184 are way better, but, this is my budget... ;)

i run nuendo with a MOTU 2408 and 1224, today i just recieved another 2408 and after hooking it up i've been getting some crackle action on playback. i tried fiddling with buffer speeds but it was no help. do i need an external word clock to rectify this situation or is that not it at all?
any help would be great
thanks
mike

hi all

I need to record a recital for a rock n' roll ensemble in a bar situation for a music school. I'm doing this for free to get my name out there. I was planning on using a XY stereo setup centered between the mains and in the middle of the room. Is this a good approach? Suggestions Please!

I am looking for that kind of thing to use primarily for mix down. The smaller the better (size-wise).

hi friends!I have just finished the recording, editing and mixing of the fourth CD of a local Camerata orchestra.

It was a budget project, entirely done on a bad acoustical place, but with efforts to make it sound really good. Three days with an 8 hour recording period on each.

I have a pretty small recording booth, infact some may call it a closet (roughly 6X5X8 ft). It is coverd with bed padding foam (much cheaper than auralex), and it has a retractable closet door with vent holes in it. I wanted to upgrade to get more isolation by padding the room with auralex and putting in a solid door.

I have heard again and again that you can get a big sound out of a small amp. I don't really understand how this is possible, and was wondering if someone could expain this phenomenon.
I am after a Guns&Roses (Appetite for destruction) kind of sound. Or a Lynyrd Skynyrd (That Smell) sound. Can I get this with a fender champ or little danelectr?
