Hello Recording.org,

recently I got my hands on a Shure X2U pre-amp and a Audio-Technica BPHS1 Broadcast Stereo Headset. Now the only problem is for this type of headset, background noise and other problems should not be an issue but for some reason it is and it is driving me nuts especially for the amount of money invested here.

For Christmas I got a powered monitoring system for my Yamaha Electronic drum kit (http://usa.Yamaha.c…"]MS50DR - Monitor Amps - Electronic Drum Accessories - Drums - Musical Instruments - Products - Yamaha United States[/]="

I finally can record stereo drums but need some advice on which specific mic to put where. I have anSM58, a Sennheiser e835, an MXL 990, and an MXL 991 condenser. I have an ATM 25 on the kick, so that's taken care of. Just trying to figure out which mics should be left and right, which one I should put on my rack toms, and if I should put one directly overhead or on the snare. Please help!

I have a quick question for someone who may have some suggestions or knowledge in this area. I have been playing piano for a while and I would like to start recording my playing. I would like to say this: I am not looking to set up a home recording studio, at least not now; I would have no room anyway, most of it is taken up by the upright piano itself.

Ok, so I just recorded a bunch of tracks in Cubase on my bass guitar. However, I'm an idiot and had all the tracks as stereo even though bass is a mono instrument. Also, on my M-audio USB fastrack which I'm using to record, I had it set on stereo. When I recorded and played it back the sound would only come out of one earphone and the other one would just play constant white noise/static.

WOW! I have to say something here.

DPA has to be one of the finest microphone companies in the world. I am so impressed with everything I have from them. Their stuff is pricey but you know what, their workmanship shows why.

I am sure there's many opinions regarding this question But I am looking for a great one size fits all stereo compressor in and out of the box.

The Daking FET III Stereo Compressor is new dual channel limiter from Geoff Daking, built in the US with the same audio path and detector circuits as our highly successful single channel Daking FET II limiter. The FET III compressor circuitry and gain stages are all discrete and fully Class "A" with sound quality that will be at the very top of the scale.

It's been a unusually diverse month. In the past few weeks I've provided PA for a good up-and-coming Christian pop/rock band from down NC way, a rapper, a motivational speaker, and a classic rock band. In addition to remote recordings for a blues/rock band, we had another first of recording Broadway style vocal numbers (solos and duets) with piano accompaniment.

Hello everybody!
I proudly present the first plugin that tells you where to put the mics!
Its a little application that I wrote in Flash. It calculates with the "stereo recording angle" (SRA). You can use it to find the right arrangement for your mics at a stereo recording. Its also nice just for understanding how stereo imaging works... Just check it out!
