I want to use some analog inserts with the Mbox2. However, I can't seem to find clear instructions on doing so. Do I use the left and right analog outputs of the Mbox2 or the left and right analog inputs for the inserts ? If it is the two outputs, then I can't monitor what I am doing, only by...

Fostex A-2, 1/4 inch, 15ips. I found some Quantegy 499 at the music store for $7. So I did some recording with it, and really liked what I got. However, it appears that I should go with 456. I spoke to the guy at JRF and he said, based on the calibration tape recommendation from Fostex, that...

I have Mbox2, and want to upgrade to 8 inputs, without dumping so much cash on a 002rack or the 002 mixer. 888/24s are out there for pretty reasonable prices. Can I use the 888/24 with Ptulz LE ? Thanks ! Sush

I planned on putting my analog reel to reel in between my monitors which are place about 4.5 feet apart. Now I am a little worried about the static magnetic field of the monitors too close to the reel to reel. I moved my computer monitor very close to the speakers and did not get any visual...

I bought Mbox2 to get Pro-tools LE. I dig it, but am considering upgrading to a better interface, possibly an RME rig. However, the guy at the music store said that you can only use pro-tools with digidesign interfaces ? Somehow I just don't think this can be correct. I should be able to...

Unfortunately I got into a bidding war last night, but won it with 3 seconds to spare. Paid just over $200. The thing looks pristene and well taken care of, and a ton of close up pictures convinced me and the original manual. Plus, if I am not satisfied, the seller will refund all monies...

I am considering purchasing a used 2 track 1/4 inch reel to reel. This was essentially mastering quality back in the 70s and 80's. I figure to use this for tracking as well as running digital submixes onto, then incorporating it back into my DAW to see what kind of supposed analog dirt and...

I am considering amplifying my Roland V-drum system. I don't want crazy volume, just the ability for full sound to have mild band practice and to teach students on the set as well. Any opinions and experiences out there ? I am considering the PM-3 system, which is going to run $550. I also...

Put down one acronym or buzz word that drove you nuts until you figured it out or think you have it figured out... TDM - Time Division Multiplexing - seems to be the buzz word for systems that have dedicated DSP processor/s to handle plug-in load. Pro tools HD vs. Pro Tools LE. Sush

Posted this on the computer thread, but thought I should put it here too: Ok, my rig: Ptool LE 6.8 Mbox 2 PC with 2.8 clock and 512 ram (yes I am going to upgrade the RAM) My problem: I was configuring a dual-mono reverb bus last night as an RTAS. So I could have one side of the D-verb set...

Ok, my rig: Ptool LE 6.8 Mbox 2 PC with 2.8 clock and 512 ram (yes I am going to upgrade the RAM) My problem: I was configuring a dual-mono reverb bus last night as an RTAS. So I could have one side of the D-verb set one way, and the other, the other way. I could choose between which side of...

Sometimes, while I am tracking in PT and playing back a selection for practicing overdubbing. When I hit the space bar, I get this horridly loud squelch noise that comes through once in a while. Scared the heck out of me, so I always turn down my headphones and monitors before everytime I hit...

I would have to vote for the RHCPs "Californication".This is one of my favorite albums, but this CD sounds like crap in my monitoring room. I also hear a lot of distortion on the vocals, with pops and cracks here and there. I am very un-impressed with it sonically. I was checking the levels...

Just purchased the Radio Shack digital sound level meter for $50. Best purchase I have made to follow-up my recent nearfiled monitor purchase two weeks ago. I used it to fine tune my monitor gain levels, so each side was equal in volume. Then I looked behind and the gain level knobs were...
