I have a small digital set up and looking to use a tube preamp to warm up vocals. I currently now use a small mixer with built in pre's and would still like to use it when tracking for eq purposes. Should I put the tube pre before or after the mixer in the chain? My thinking tells me to put it...

I decided to get the ball rolling and emailed product support at the fostex usa site. Hope you all with bad buttons jump on board. Maybe they'll come in here and try and justify charging a third of the cost of the machine for one plastic button. Pj

I have a Moog Opus 3 keyboard I aquired years ago and have pulled it out recently to use in some home recording. Still works but needs a good cleaning. I'm curious how old my unit is-what year it came out. The model number is 339A. If anyone has an idea that'd be great. Also looking for tips on...

I'm doing pc audio mixing and looking for some monitors besides the ones on my pc which are JBLs and don't sound bad at all and headhones don't give me a true sound. I have a budget around $300.00 for a set of 2. I'm assuming I use the output of my sound card to connect these to the pc? Any...
