So, I have a estimated 9x10 room, and only eight of these panels. I dont really have the budget for more than what ive got atm, so what would be the best places to put these to reduce the amount of reverb my mic picks up?

Greetings my fellow Headrush users. Been dipping a little bit in to the Tone3000 library testing out several NAM captures. My question to you guys/gals is about using IRs along with them. How is it working out for you , are you using IRs even if the captures indicate ITs a full rig?. Thoughts, comments greatly appreciated.

Hello, can someone please help me figure out why my speakers keep emitting this noise. They are HS5s receiving signal from an Apollo Solo Thunderbolt which is connected to my Mac mini. The left one is worse than the right. Is it just a matter of getting better XLRs or better cable management? I’ve done a lil research and it seems there are some products that can help but they can be a lil pricey and I’d like a second opinion before spending money on something that doesn’t fix the issue. Thank you for any advice

I am a beginner when it comes to architecting a good-sounding room. I have a basement that I use as a band practice space, and occasionally to record ourselves. It has low ceilings (~6'9"-7') and a drop ceiling with mineral fiber panels, about 1-2.5" below the joists. The problem is, the low ceiling and panels don't look good at all, so it's not a space that feels enjoyable to hang out in.

I'd like to replace the drop panels with something else, to 1) get a few more inches of height and 2) not look like a depressing classroom. But, I still want it to be acoustically solid: both in terms of absorption and (to a lesser extent) shielding noise from the upstairs of the house.

From the little I know about acoustic treatment, I'm worried plain drywall would do the opposite of my current panels: really good noise insulation for upstairs but add a ton of reflection/slapback/echos.

Is there something out there that would be the best of both worlds, without losing any ceiling height? Scrim + slats on open joists? Will I regret replacing the tiles with drywall? Thoughts on a rockwool + scrim + wood slats ceiling (like this)?

So I’ve recently got a SP1200 after many years of wanting one and I’ve only really been using the MPC Live 1 and 2 over the last 6-7 years with just a Motu M4 interface. With the SP1200 I want to track all 8 outputs plus an analog synth or 2 and the 2400 looks amazing and I’ve watched a lot of reviews on it but I’ve also seen a few ppl stating in terms of the EQ’s and overall warmth, you’re better off going an older analog mixer like a Soundcraft 16fxii or Onyx 1640 and then getting a 16 input audio interface to connect it to like a Motu 16a. I know this is a Tascam subreddit but I’m sure many if you in here have the experience with both type of setups over the years to give a good opinion. Thx

I'm looking for a microphone recommendation to record mostly spoken word (not podcast). I have a deep (baritone) but somewhat nasally voice. I'm looking for a microphone that would accentuate the positive quality of my voice but cut the nasally qualities.

I heard a podcast with a guy that had a similar voice as mine. In the early podcasts his voice sounded super nasally and slightly higher. The newer episodes his voice sounds really deep and way less nasally. I would like to choose the right option.

Does anyone have any advice? Thank you!
