This is 100% a sample rate mismatch.

Yes, pretty much, but I'd make the thicker bass traps if you can. They will still perform the job of thinner acoustic panels but will be more effective at absorbing low frequencies, which are the hardest to control. Mine are 4" deep (plus the wood frame, so more like 5"). I think I probably...

Here's a link on how to build the panels you're referring to. I built 10 for my studio and they've worked out great. The insulation you're referring to is most likely Owens-Corning 703. It's available online and most areas have a local distributor you can get it from. If you call Owens...

They're both amazing amps. I personally really love the new multiwatt Rectos and in my opinion they're more versatile than the Soldano, but damned if Soldano doesn't make some fine amps. If you're content with the Mesa, I'd hold on to it. If you want something a bit leaner and more...

You want mics that aren't too expensive, reject bleed well and have a low profile and good ergonomics. You don't want expensive, large mics with bad mounts or that can be difficult to position on crowded kits (i.e. Sennheiser MD421). For kick, the Shure Beta 91 or Sennheiser e901 are amazing...

Go get it!

Most bands I know just make their own.

I just walk around the room while the drummer plays and leave mics in all of the good spots.

I use a 20-footer but I've used 50-footers with no problem.

I use Beat Detective almost exclusively, except for tricky/complex sections which I do by hand. I almost never use Elastic Audio unless I need to lengthen a cymbal or drum hit here and there. Elastic Audio causes too many weird phase issues to use too often.

In all seriousness, no, you'll be fine.

Don't overthink it. Bring in your own setup and do your thing. You can incorporate the studio's nice mics/pres/etc. into your normal workflow. Keep it familiar and comfortable.

Fortunately for you there are a ton of great options in that price range. My personal faves in that price range are the Josephson C42 and the Beyerdynamic MC930. The Josephsons have great transient response and are a little brighter, and the Beyerdynamics are beefier sounding. The Oktava...

I love my SVT-VR but I find myself wishing it was more versatile. It's a beast of an amp but it's a bit of a one-trick pony.

All tube, metal chassis, about 40lbs lighter than an Ampeg SVT. Looking goood......
