Hi I have just bought some secondhand HR824 monitors from the US (I am in Australia). To use the speakers here (when they arrive!), I will need to replace the 120v transfromers with 240v ones. The price on the transformers from the local Mackie agent here is enourmous, so I was wondering if...

Hi Just wondering what the best way of coonecting my Mackie HR-624s and my sub to my mixer? I want to set everything up so that: a: I get the correct channels of audio going to the sub and b: The speakers all cut out when I put headphones into the mixer The mixer has balanced phono outputs...

Hi I am really getting into programming drums. I am getting the hang of programming grooves, playing off the beat etc, but what really confuses me is playing the hi-hat. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good drum tuition video that shows how hi-hats are played in different...

Hi I'm just working out the best settings for my DAW projects. I have decided to go 24bit, but need to know if there is any advantage in recording and working with 48k files before dithering down to 44.1k? Any comments or opinions? Cheers! Midge
