I'm curious exactly how the Aux sends/returns are laid out on this board? I've read a lot about it, and it seems that there are only 2 available at mixdown. Could someone explain this to me a little more. Also, are there any workarounds that you guys have found to get past this problem? Thanks!

Does anyone know where I can find the dimensions for a 32x8 Soundtracs Topaz....gotta make sure it'll fit. :D :D :D :D

I found a site on the web called www.foambymail.com that has great prices on foam. It looks just like Auralex foam ( and has a close NRC) but I'm curious if it's the same stuff? If you have bought from this company, how was your experience? BTW, this is NOT a plug for these guys!

I need some good patch cables. I would make my own...BUT, it would be more expensive and a whole lot more time consuming (imagine soldering 50 to 100 cables...no thanks) than just buying them. So what should I get? Are Rean or AP audio patch cables any good? Don't tell me Hosa!!! :) Thanks.

I'm doing a little test of various mics on a tom (including a radioshack 33-3032) and I threw my pro25 up and all of the sudden it's distorting. I haven't dropped it or anything. I'm also not clipping the signal, so I'm assumming it's the mic. What's up?

I'm looking for a console in the home studio price range (we'll say under $5000) that has polarity switches. I don't understand why these aren't implemented on all consoles??? It should be an easy thing to do right? Any guidance is appreciated!

This is something new recorded here at RTZ. Tell me what you think! :) http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/8/1381/singles.shtml the song is called "star spangled comet"

I was flippin' through and there it was... Not quite a home studio though! :) http://www.angelfire.com/al3/studio/index.htm

...talking on PALTALK!!!! :D :D :D sorry....hehe;)

Ok, here's the deal...I got 100' of Canare Star Quad for Christmas (thanks mom) and cut it into 25' foot lengths. The only problem was that 3 were 25' and one was 24'...Now of course this isn't a huge deal but I'm curious; do they plan on you putting connectors on them to make up for lost...

I checked on Markertek and Full Compass but I can't seem to find any. Do they have them and I've just overlooked them?

http://rtz.homestead.com/files/alap-raga_short_version.mp3 Tell me what you think about this song. I'm posting the short version because apparently Homestead doesn't support files that are larger than 5 MB, so I had to cut of some of the beginning and fade out the end....but you'll still hear...

What are the advantages (or disadvantages) of putting overheads behind the drummer as opposed to in front of the kit? Are there any reasons other than capturing more toms and less cymbals?

Does anybody have any knowledge of these units? Basically I want to know if they're "studio quality?" I do know that lot's of musicians use them live, but what about the studio? Only reason I'm asking is because I can get a couple really cheap (one is the original and the other is a re-issue.)...

What would you spend $100 on... a brand new SM57 (with a few bucks leftover) or a used (that is WELL USED) Senn. MD 421? Although the 421 is beat to hell it still works like a charm, so that is probably what I'll go for....or should I not for some reason? Let me know.
