Instead of a PA find a small mixer. This will give you a chance to develop some engineering skills that will payoff down the road, remember to find a model with enough inputs, if you use two buy 4 and so on. We record all of our sessions right to a computer from the mixer. If you can get your hands ...

How many of you have learned from or have been inspired from the bands that you have recorded? I heard a vocalist the other day that really opened my mind up to pronunciation and cadence.

I know this is outside of the recording realm but I thought I would ask a few professionals. Last weekend I had to run sound for a roller derby event in rink sized arena. Unfortunately the two announcers do not use a booth as they are part of the show. Well I was getting way too much slap back from ...

Shuttlecock, a great band, I've had the pleasure of running sound for them thrice.[/code][/quote]

When I build pedal boards I always include a door pull handle, one on each end to wrap my cables through. rubber feet are a big help too.

I am trying to put together a decent project studio to record my band. For now we will be recording to a Firepod, but I would also like to build groups, especially for the drums and room mics. I'm looking for a mixer with at least twelve XLR inputs and four group busses. My current budget is $5-700,...

Sorry I didn't see this when I used the search before. Capenverb I was wondering if you went with this setup? I totally agree with you about using a computer to record, that's why I'm looking into the HD24. Instead of dumping the tracks into a PC I am thinking about mixing the tracks to a 'pro' two ...
