Just sound treated my Studio, (after pics)

[Pogo]

By the way pogo, my computer all of a sudden forgot how to read the omega quite a few times, too.

After countless hours of hate-filled rages, I found out the trick: a simple restart works every time, for some reason.

Yup, that's what I have to do. Lately it's constantly. Seems like it started a month ago. I tried to do a driver update and I keep getting errors.

You only have one mic?
Is it all vocals and MIDI then?

I have two mics: the blue baby bottle and the shure ksm32. my mic plugs into the grace m101 preamp (phantom power), and the preamp plugs into the interface which sends the sound to the DAW (recording software). It's a pretty tight chain, I've never had any latency issues.

I just bought those yamaha mixing monitors yesterday, I used to use the KRK Rokit 5's which I never liked because they didn't seem to catch high end too well, and didnt really hear my reverbs good either.

Saturday morning I woke up and driving to get coffee I finally got mad enough that my mix sounds way different in the studio than in the car, and thats why I decided to go ahead and do a professional sound treatment job and also get new monitors.

What are you using for an interface? I have an old Lexicon I need to upgrade.

How do you like the Grace preamp?

The grace is rated the best preamp for the $500 price point. And I agree that it's wonderful.

I'm using the Lexicon Omega desktop interface. I've had it for YEARS and never had any problems with it. It's that silver thing standing up on the left corner of the desk.

Yeah I could see a piece of it. I'm having intermittent driver issues on the Alpha, other than that and a dirty pot that needs cleaning it's OK. No real latency issues, just doesn't always show up in my software.

I do acoustic instruments though, so I need my mics. Looking at adding an Avantone CK-1 soon, or something like it.

The grace only has one mic input, but the omega also serves as a preamp, just not as good as the grace, and the lexicon has 4 line ins, 2 mic ins, and two speaker outputs.

I never knew there was an alpha lol thats hilarious

you should shoot me an instrumental sometime maybe I can mess around and write/record some vocals over it.

here's a neat little diddy i did, pardon that the mix is not perfect but again thats why the OP happened!

Sometime down the road
Drowning in corporate work right now. Just picked up a synth though, looking forward to the winter.
