This piece is evolving but what really excited me about it was that both guitars are live tracked single takes close mic'd w/ my SM57 on my Boogie into my M-Audio Profire 610.

I got lucky I think with mic position here and got what I thought was a usable sound without too much fiddling.

Im going to be setting up a home recording rig in a month or so but I need to know EXACTLY what i all need so i can buy it all in one trip and set it up, plug it in and go! There are a few problems. 1.) Im a professional drummer and a complete newbie at recording/mixing. 2.) Not sure what I all need. 3.) I want to keep the total cost under $1100.

Hi all..

So I have a Yamaha 02R digital desk that is returning to me today; I've been letting my brother use it for his small home studio/rehearsal space for his band - which is a Steely Dan Tribute act - not that it matters...

can i use my samson cO1 condenser mic for room treatment measurement? please suggest...

I am a musician establishing a home recording system to record my music with as much fidelity as my limited funds can muster. My needs are rather specific and I was hoping that, if given that information, those with way more experience in audio engineering than I have might help me to make some wise choices.

I want to add a few different styles for us. Maybe 3. This one, a dark one and a different one. Oh, and a special one just for the festive season.:)

NOTE: We are using XenForo so if you find a theme (style/skin) one that you particularly like, let us know by posting a link to it.
If enough people like a particular skin, I may add it to the choices.

Currently, I'm using the Propellerhead Balance with my brother's headphones (Sennhiser HD 518, really nice). I've been thinking about getting some proper speakers for under $1500. I produce bass-heavy music, so smaller speakers are a no-no. Also, they need to support multiple voltage configurations (i.e. have a voltage selector)

Thanks! :biggrin:

Hi all. I am really new to the world of microphones and I'm overwhelmed after reading for a few hours. I need a microphone to simply sit on my desk and record spoken voice. I also need a zero latency headphone monitor jack on the mic. Ideally this will be a mic in the $100ish price range and USB. If I have to spend more, convince me why!

I'm looking to make some decent home recordings. I realize I'm not going to get pristine recordings with my current situation but would just like some tips if at all possible. What I have so far is an Apogee One, Macbook Pro with Logic Pro and am about to purchase the Blue Bluebird Microphone.

So, Im doing a small live recording in a couple weeks. When I say small, it'll be just drums, keyboards, guitar, bass, and sax. For drums, I have and AKG D112, Shure Beta 57 and Shure 57, Shure SM81, and a BeyerDynamics M 201 TG. The Drum Kit I will be recording will have a kick, snare, hi -hat, 2 toms, and cymbals.
