Last week I came in a studio which uses a Mackie 1604. It is hooked up to a patch panel which links it to the different recorders and computers. Everything is connected with TRS jacks. The patch panel is a stero patch panel. But i saw they only used Mono-jacks to patch the signal. A lot of equipment uses balanced signals( Mackie 1604, dvcpro recorder, edititing stations end so on)

Hello!

i'm getting into production and taking a course on ngineering. I would be interested on working as a freelance doing music and sound for TV and films. Which steps should i take to get into it and is it very difficuly and competitive market?

So I was watching this video about the band Darkest Hour. They've been recording in Canada with Devin Townsend.

There's a bit in the vid midway through when they're tracking guitars where they show off this box, it's a quiet box, for recording guitars.

Any idea of the microphone inside? It looks kind of like a 57 with a windscreen on it on a weird looking mic stand.

I have a friend who is getting a Sony HDR-FX1 camcorder and we had the idea to track the audio and video seperately from each other so we could use our preamps and mics instead of using the camcorders mini input. We are not going to be using the mic in the camcorder itself. We need to sync the audio and video recording to each other so post-processing is minimal, but how do you do that?

I am trying to find websites that let you download things like the very popular" Mix it Like a Record" or video tutorials on recording with pro engineers. Anyone seen any ?

I'm trying to decide on dual video monitors for my home studio. Does anyone have any advise? I found this one on Best Buy.com Here are the specs. The price is $399... pretty cheap considering other monitors of the same size. Just wondering if anyone can give me a little help.

Browsing the iTunes video store, I noticed that the audio in the music videos always leaves about 7 dB of unused headroom compared to the audio-only counterpart. So I extracted the audio from a greenday video, normalized it to fill in the 7 unused dB, and compared it to the audio-only version.

I finished assembling my new DAW last night and I have a part I need to return (bought a ball bearing "silent" 80mm fan but ended up buying a case with a 120mm fan already installed). They don't take returns, so I have to exchange.

is there such a thing? If anyone has it please email me at kyrck_khal@hotmail.com i urgently need info on it!

I have a 64 meg card that keeps giving me the hardware buffer error. Looking for a 128 one cause i think thats the problem. have no probs with my 128 meg with single display.
