I have some nice Grado headphones for monitoring, but becuase much of my voice-over work will now end up being distributed as streaming Flash audio, I'd like to listen to the mix on cheap consumer desktop computer speakers as well -- the kind of thing that comes bundled with a PC or that you'd pick up at Circuit City or Costco -- that's what most of my audience will have.

I'm wondering what the next buy would be for my studio..

Here's my setup:

Pentium IV 2,4Ghz
Win 2000 pro
1 Gb ram
120Gb disk

How can i obtain better results on a wide open stereo image? any tips? some tricks? panning tricks? converters?

Hello again! Same question again!
Anyone used one of these NT-4's yet? or am i to assume from the lack of response that no one has and therefore there will not be a response? Moderator?
Ciao and thanks...

Hey, everybody!

My question refers to drums: room mic compression. I currently have two EL8 momo distressors. I like them on the room mics but, would it be better to use a stereo EL8 insted? would there be a difference? and if not, whats the point of offering a stereo unit? if you get the same results with two mono units at a cheaper price? thanks for any opinions.

Hello everyone!
New to the site and lovin' it. :D
I'm looking at buying one of the RODE NT-4 mics, the one with the Stereo placed pair of capsules. Anyone given it a lash yet? if so how'd it go?
Or would i be better off going for a seperate pair of the NT-5's?

I'm all for Micing up a real amplifier, and have put in my fair amount of time experimenting with stereo Micing and double tracking to get big stereo guitars. I used some amp sims to add to existing "real" guitars, but passed most of them off as not quite able to stand on their own.

I'm recording a band and I would like to add a little more "fatteness" for the vocals in order to give a more stereo spaced impression. I tried to put the vocals on 2 tracks, pan towards Left and Right each and then I tried some delay from 1 to 30 ms between the two tracks. The result was like adding a chorus effect.

:D
