Hi Guys, I've recently made my first venture into the Digital Conversion world and as expected I've already encountered my first, "What The....?". I purchased an Apogee Trak2 with the D/A Option installed. Just got it delivered this weekend and when I went to see what kind of cables I needed...

Hi Guys, I was looking for an extra pair of headphones laying around yesterday and I forgot about a couple of pair of MoreMe headphones that I bought about two years ago. Both of which currently only work on one side after about a year of use. Funny thing is they both went out at about the...

Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with this compressor? I've read nothing but great reviews and my only question is... is it worth the extra few hundred bucks for the 'british mod' version? Thanks.

Hey Guys, Sorry about beating this to death, but I've been reading a bunch of threads on the subject and doing some research and I'm not exactly sure what the best investment for myself would be. Currently I don't have a converter in my recording chain and I would like an AD/DA for the obvious...

Hey Guys, I've come across a real good deal on a Manley Mono-Pre. I've heard nothing but good things about Manley equipment and I just wanted to get a second opinion from you guys. Let me know whats up! Thanks.

Hey Guys! Long time no post.. I been busy moving out into a new coop apartment I just bought! :D After a couple of weekend I've finally connected all of my equipment and fired up my computer for the first time. Found me the first thing I can find to play to make sure everything is working...

Hi Guys, I have a question about rasing the overall volume on a mix. Generally, at the end of a mix, I end up with a lot of headroom on the overall volume of a song. Meaning I can push the master fader 3 or 4db before I actually clip. My mixing routine is: 1) Record & Mix in Cubase leaving...

Hi Guys, Just a quick question... I'm moving into a new apartment and I don't want to hammer a bunch of holes into the walls to hang up my studio foam. I was thinking about mounting them on something but i was just wondering if you guys can give me some suggestions on a material that will not...

Hey guys, Just wondering, I'm getting an offer on the A/D add-on to the Focusrite VoiceMaster Pro at a decent price and I was wondering if that was any better than the built in converters in the Mbox. Anyone have any clue? Will I hear any difference?? Is it worth buying!?!? Thanks!

... without hearing the original? In other words, I want to mix my vocals through my Avalon however I dont know how to monitor the incoming signal without hearing the original. I can get the signal in and out but not without hearing both at the same time. Any suggestions?

Hey Guys, Quick question to the bit depth/sample rate Guru's. I mostly record hip-hop tracks where alot of the beats are mostly brought to me "ready-made" recorded at 16 bit/44.1k. Since I've started recording I've got into the habit of recording everything at 24/48k. So what I've been doing...

What's going on my good peoples? Just thought it was my civic duty as a fellow hip-hop head to inform you of my brother (and one of my favorite mc's) Gab Gacha's "United States of America vs. Gab Gacha" Mix Cd available now. If you an underground hip-hop head you might know him from the...
