Any pros and/or cons for either the UAD-1 or Power Core that might help potential purchasers choose?

I would guess that many of you might have an opinion on this subject. For a few weeks I have been considering purchasing a MOTIF module. I listened to the sounds, did some comparison listening etc. The MOTIF seems to excel in the department of real instrument emulation. The horns, winds etc...

Who has heard this instrument. What is your thoughts about it. I have briefly tried it. I played it for about fifteen minutes and could not get anything but one sound. the salseman was of no use for reasons that are inexplicable however, the shop was busy so I will give him the benefit of the...

I just got a Soundelux E47. It is quite nice. I have had very little time for recording as of the past two or three weeks thogh I did get to do one vocal track over. The original track was recorded on a Rode NT1 through a dbx 376 tube channel strip. The new vocal was recorded on the Soundelux...

I have seen a number of threads wherein certain retailers were recommended becuase of the option to try the goods and then return for something else if not completely satisfied. The question then is how do you know that the item you purchase as new was not already shipped to someone and...

1176...This is a familiar sequence of numbers. Notably, it is the model for the current Universal Audio limiter that was originally manufactured, i believe, by Urei. That said, today, of course, one can purchase a brand spanking new box from Universal Audio for a reasonable price and have the...

I nned a loop program for rythm, drums and percussion to use with DP3. I am not sure if Recycle or Ableton Live is a better choice. If you know of such things, please advise.

In Mix Magazine this month there is a review of the Soundelux E47. This is a direct quote "This is not the bewt mic to record a wooly sounding vocalist". the article further stated that "the low mids were too full and the high end was not extended enough...". Now, this is a pretty expensive mic...

Audio Technica made a new mic, the 3060. it is a tube mic without an additional power supply and it claims to run the tube off the 48v phantom power. How can this be possible?

I ordered MOTU 24 i/o which runs a 96 khz. in the meantime, I have been thinking that I might be better off just going for the couple of extra bucks and getting the 192 HD. I am sure the track count will suffer and I will have difficulty with hard drive speeds. I think that at 192 there will be...

I have been eyeing the new MTU 24 i/0 which will give me 24 ins and outs at 96 khz. I am wondering though, should I be waiting for 192 to become the defacto standard. Will 192 khz become the defacto standard once computer speeds and hardware have reached an adequate price point/power point for...

Software synths hve been around for a minute but, hardware still rules the roost, or does it? For those of you that use software synths, tell us a bit about the ones your use, what do you use it for, how does it compare to hardware, what are the advantages/disadvantages to software over hardware...

I know this has been brought up before but I am wondering this, has anybody had an opprotunity to A/B hardware synth orchestral so unds such as those from a Roland 5080 or a Kurzweil PC2R (model#?) with those available on CD ROM for samplers and particularly, the samples available for...

I ordered a Voyager performance model. They are selling for $2,999.99 or thereabouts. But...MOTU has come out with a new box that has 24 analogue ins and outs - perfect for my set-up and just what I have been waiting for. It is also 96 khz so I am expecting some pretty good sound. The Voyager...

I would like to get a zip drive kit for the MPC 2000 XL. I understand AKAI no longer offers them but I am hoping someone somwhere does and you fine people will know wheree. So, do tell.
