hello all! thank you for entering this thread. .i record hip hop vocals, and i have a relatively simple home recording set up, consisting of:

a Sterling ST55 Mic($150)
a M-Audio Firewire Solo interface(not a preamp, $200)
i use adobe audition to mix my vocals, on my PC
and of course a mic stand shockmount an pop filter

Looking for a 4-ch mic preamp upgrade to the pres' on my Yamaha AW1600. No surprise, requiring more gain for a few mics (using SM57, AT3035 and Sennheiser 421 at the moment for percussion - congas, keys and vocals) in my home studio. Desiring a mic preamp with neutral affect on the mic signals.

Hey there, first of all.. I'm quiet a newbie into pro recording so forgive any ignorances. Heres the story.

I own a zoom HD 16 track recorder
line 6 x3 live
pc running ableton.
NT2000 mic

I pulled the trigger on this home hot rodding project. This is the three pickup version I bought used http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ENBBEBGH

Hello all,

I have been using Nuendo since day 1 but i have also taken hits for not using PT's! i like Nuendo a lot but i hear PT8 runs under Windows. True?

I could go to the PT Forum but i know i will get more of a balanced response on this forum.

I had a few threads about my next mic, but the past few nights I've been helping someone to record better guitar tone and it occurred to me that I don't have a DI box. I think that that is a necessary evil before a second mic. What do you think?

Hi there folks. It's been awhile since I've been here but alas, I have another question.

Right now my main recording rig is:

Desktop PC w/ XP
Emu 0404 USB Interface
AKG Perception 220
Shure SM57

I'm looking for some type of upgrade. I believe for now my mics are okay, but let me know your INPUT (ahaha) on that. I do all sorts of styles of music.

I have a very limited setup here, so don't laugh (too hard)...

Sonar 7 software
Behrsucker Truth B2031A monitors
seasound soloist interface
behrsucker Xenyx1832FX mixer
AT2020 mic
Cheap set of Nady Drum mics, the kic mic is the only thing worth something)

for my next purchase i was thinking about either the Brick, or the Alesis 3630

I'm running Pro Tools 8 Le through a Digi 002 rack and I am currently using the stock reverb plugins. Mostly doing jazz, folk, alt-country, etc. I tend to use setting tweaked from medium room or plate reverb presets. I rarely use settings with very long tails. I don't use it heavily, but it gets used all on about every recording.

OK, I have a few demons to service here.

I need to spend GBP £2-£3,000 to make my studio 'look better'.
