What style vocals? It really does depend on that, that is why I keep asking. If you construct that vocal booth properly (it will be SWEET), any mic will sound "acceptable" to most people's ears,...

I have never heard the perception 420, but I will say that the 4033 has been used extensively as a workhorse on almost every rock album in the 1990's. Use it wherever you would use a Neumann...

micheal you need to read my post again. And it's "psycho-sticks." I know he has the mixer already, thats why I suggest he sell it...because he doesn't need all those tracks... I think its too...

Yes you certainly need some form of mastering. If you are rich, TC Electronic Sytem 6000, or Finalizer, or Sonnox Elite bundle. If not get iZotope oZone. Not only will it bring your mixes up to...

Ok, just expect to upgrade more later...a clock is definitely a must for multiple digital units, and a "should" if you have a converter that suffers jitter distortion. An expensive clock will adress...

From an electrical engineering perspective, a clock should make digital gear perform exactly to spec, and a good voltage regulator should make the clock perform to spec. I did overlook the...

Haha that reminds me, check this out if you haven't already seen its really funny and drives the point home:

Funny video about loud computer components

Hot? NOPE! Install Asus PC-Probe and see for yourself! You can always adjust the fan speed in the BIOS if silent mode runs hot, its still silent even at full blast! In fact I don't even run...

This is going to sound very low class, but buy a few heavy duty vinyl sheets (thick shower curtains work, but I mean THICK) and hang them like curtains with another layer of heavy cotton blankets...

I love this thing, its taken upgrades for almost 4 years with the same motherboard. I can play BF2142 and Quake 4 in between sessions on FULL in Hi-Resolution Widescreen (not to mention how SICK the...

EVERYONE SAYS THAT LOL!!!! THIS IS SO FUNNY TO ME BECAUSE ITS THE ONLY THING EVERYONE IN THE WORLD AGREES ON (Cue some jerk :angry: ahaha)! It was either the first thing Behringer made or maybe...

Get drunk and let someone kick you in the....

...thats a good Q. I am stumped to, I'm not sure if its really possible, but a cheap way might be a BOSS Pitch Shifter pedal.... it will sound...

If you are not amplifying a band, then I would just bring a "cheap-o" board instead of the church's board (I guess cheesecloth would work, and will probably keep the hot sun off it too, but why risk...

+1! Also Ric I did neglect to tell you that impedance is extremely important, thanks Pinhead! I would always run your amp near full volume, its the signal level at the FOH you should maintain... I...

Wiring up a PA should be pretty straightforward, especially a nice one like you have! Have you tried the instruction manual? Also, try experimentation...just don't plug a speaker output into a line...

Lol. Remember that song?

Seriously, I am starting to wonder if I have the only studio that has a wall of books in it......I find them invaluable both for knowledge and as a sound...

Yea look up stuff on YouTube too. Also, I highly reccommend the Jeff Strong book for beginners...what the hell happened to his website though? Also if you are good at math, pick up the "Yamaha...

egg-zackly! DAS I appreciate your advice more and more with every post I read! :smokin: <--thats for you! :cool:

Isn't China a communist country.... lol. Seriously I really like your customer service but let GuitarCenter support communism and underpaid/underage labor. Keep it German, keep it British, keep it...

Key part... most new cars don't even last that long these days lol. All I am saying is that spending now is a good way to combat inflation later ;)

If I could have any piece of gear for mastering, it is 100% without a doubt, a MULTIBAND COMPRESSOR. Yea sure a limiter is nice, but if your snare is poppin over the top its nice to just hit it...

yea totally, I wouldn't use software for my distortion, but things like like delay and reverb could benefit, especially since you can also use it to sync the effects to a systemwide MIDI...

The best one you can afford, of course! I wouldn't go cheap, spend at least $200. You probably don't need a regulator, just over/under protection, and ground/RF noise suppression. The last thing...

I prefer API for dynamic mics, so I'd imagine they would work on a guitar cab with an RE-20 or MD-421 in front of it! It may get a little muddy as API loves to detail the low end for you. I would...

AHA! DUDE! C'MON! YOU ARE KILLIN' ME! :angry: :mad: :smokin: :banana:
