Since those in the know have likened these compressors to bicycles for fish as far as their usefulness in recording, I am interested in whether or not these discontinued items from the Alesis line might have other uses: ash trays? door stops? book ends? [Disclaimer: I have not purchased...

My DOD AcousticOne just went belly up today. Any recommendations for MultiFX unit suitable for stage and recording? Any warnings of units to avoid? What I am concerned with mainly is reducing the brittle "quack" when using a piezo transducer in my guitar. To phrase it another way, I really...

I am attempting one more time to post the track log sheet and mixdown/mastering log sheet I developed for the VF-80. Let me know what you think by posting your response to this thread.

I am contemplating my next purchases being some outboard FX. Since I am on a tight budget for "hobby purchases," I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with the Modular FX and what his/her/their experiences were?

Using a VF-80, I have found that if you record or mix the vocals using the "telephone EQ" and use the Presence Room reverb setting on mixdown, then master using the light mix setting, the result is very reminiscent of the 50s sound on some of those classic Sun recordings and Buddy Holly's early...

Has anybody used the Behringer Ultragain Pro (Mic 2200) and/or the Behringer Virtualizer Pro (DSP2024P)? What have been your experiences?

Several months ago I posted a thread announcing that I had developed tracking sheets for the MR-8 and the VF-08/80. Since then, I have revised the sheets in the hopes of simplifying them, thereby making them more useful. The significant differences are that the MR-8 track sheet has been reduced...

I've come to the conclusion that I really need to pre-amp my microphones for recording as I'm having to have my trim knobs set almost all the way to the maximum setting when recording and am still not getting enough gain. I'm thinking about purchasing a couple of Art Tube MP OPL pre-amps. MF...

Since the tracking sheets for the MR-8 and the VF-80 have been available for several days now, and I have noted that several people have downloaded them from Kramer's website. I thought now would be the time to ask, have those who've downloaded them had a chance to use them and how helpful have...

Several days ago I announced that I had developed track sheets based on the MR-8. Since that time Kramer has posted them to his website for people to download. I have also sent him track sheets for the VF-80 for posting as well. These are in the Microsoft Word format so they are editable so...

If anyone is interested, I have developed some tracking sheets based on the MR-8. I will gladly share with all interested parties. e-mail me at a12stringer55@juno.com The documents are done with Microsoft Word

I had another gestalt experience this morning and thought, with the amount of chutzpah we are showing in this forum, why not throw out yet another possibility? Since the MR-8 converts to .wav files, and plugs into a computer, one could send them to another mr-8 user as an e-mail attachment...

So what microphones are you using with the MR-8? I've been using what I have with my SR system and am not happy with the results. I realize condensers would be the best, but with the MR-8 I'd have to buy a power supply since the MR-8 lacks phantom power. I'd also prefer some good quality...

I was looking at the owner's manual and had a flash of inspiration: If one is directly mastering to CD using a stand-alone unit, one could theoretically record twelve tracks. The procedure would be: 1: Record tracks 1-4 or 1-6 and bounce to 7/8 2: Erase tracks 1-6. 3: Record tracks 1-4 and...
