I need to send word clock to more devices than my generator has outputs - not only the audio interfaces but a couple of samplers and modules that have WC ins, etc. What can you use to split a master WC signal to go to more units? Thanks!

Looking to add an optical and coax spdif patchbay (one of each). I know Z Sys made at least the coax, and I think there was an M-Audio/Midiman optical. Any recommendations on these? Definitely needs to handle 24 bit. Also, comments on cable brands, etc? (I know that can open up a whole debate...

I ran across one of these pre's in great shape and was curious to hear what you guys have to say about it. Also, are there any other major differences between the original and the MkII other than the inserts (can't find a lot on these...)? The guy that has it isn't sure what he wants for it yet...

What was the model of the original NightPro eq that was such a hit with the big boys? Not the EQ3D, but the big 2 space model... Not looking for one per se, but somebody asked me about it the other day and my mind went blank. Did some work in a room several years back where they used one a lot...

A friend of mine has gone absolutely nuts over the DBX Quantum as an AD converter for a lot of his tracks, both straight through and using some of the tricks under the hood. Says it's supposed to be a killer master clock, too. Anybody else using one of these, and if so what's your experience...

I'm about to start working on a modern/smooth jazz project with solo trumpet. The ensemble will run the range from tradition to synths, so certainly using the usual gear there, but I really want to kick the juice on the trumpet (it's me!). I have several mics to play with, so that won't be an...

I know the various versions of the PCM-70's have different factory presets. If I pick up a version 3 model, can I still load the older presets in through sysex or something? Really hoping I don't have to get two units to satisfy my compulsive nature! :)

I don't see nearly as much hype about these mics as I used to back in the day. I just got a 408 and 4 408B's in a trade, and I'm not sure if I'm going to hang onto them or not. I used to have good results on drums with them (like everyone else), never used them on anything else, though. Is...

Did a search through the forum and didn't find anyone addressing this - What's the difference between the AT4033 and the AT4033A? More interested in sound than techie stuff, but would appreciate either. Thanks!

For my PC laptop, if I were only going to use an Adat lightpipe to my main Mac system (running Cubase SX3) for a VST System Link (running VSTi's and odd plugins, etc on the laptop), would there be any difference between the original 828 and the 828MkII? I wouldn't be using the analog ins and...

I may be picking one of these up. Anybody had any experience with it? I know it's more of a meat and potato module (pianos, strings, bread and butter, etc), which is what I would use it for (plenty of other stuff in my rig for synth sounds...). Anyway, any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have an E4 XT Ultra coming in next week. I know there were quite a few EOS sample libraries available, but I'm having a hard time finding them now, except for the cheezy homebrew loops on Ebay. These samplers will import Akai format just fine, but I'd love to grab some of the native stuff as...

I've got an E4 XT Ultra coming in next week, and I'm having a hard time finding native libraries for it. There's plenty of Akai stuff out there that will import just fine, but I know there were several Emu and 3rd party disks available at one time. Nothing has been popping up on Ebay (except...

I don't want to spend a fortune, but I am looking for a solid power conditioner, preferably with a short battery backup or buffer to hold voltage at a solid level during brownouts, etc. I know some of the mid to upper Furman stuff does that, as well as some of the Monster stuff, but would one of...

I really like the modular design (and the monitoring features) of the MOTU PCI424 series interfaces, especially considering I can load up on IO with only one PCI slot (G4 system). Compared to the RME stuff (which will eat up more space in the computer and cost more), do the MOTU AD's sound as...
