I bought my Aphex 207 off EBAY. For my purposes, it has worked out just fine.

The AW4416 is a great machine that can now be found at a pretty good price used, as you found out. I finished my first CD last year with it. The thing is a real bitch to learn how to use and I ended finding someone to give me private lessons on it.........I highly recommend that avenue. Sure...

I have finally gottne what I can afford in my studio setup. I record mostly acoustic instruments (guitar, banjo, mandolin) and my pair of Shure KSM-109's do a good job for me. I have completed a CD of 12 songs and for the time and money and I put in , I am satisfied. I will probably upgrade...

Thanks guys! This is a great forum. I have certainly learned enough to get my home studio up and running. I took the unit apart and saw some very light corrosion which I remedied. Looks like the problem has been fixed. Once again, THANKS !!

Thanks for the notes. At this point, I am unable to return it. I have tried another preamp and still get the hum. If I put my hand on it, the hum is not as loud. Does that bring up any other ideas ?

I have a problem with a Shure SM-81 microphone. This mic was purchased used but is in mint condition. There is a static hum when the mic is powered up. It sounds similar to what you would on a portable radio if placed to close to something like a flourescent light. The volume of the hum is...

Buying used? If I look for a used machine, which OS should I look for and will it offer me onscreen editing with the added VGA monitor? How can a potential seller check which OS is in use? Which OS is not good? THANKS !!!

still got it ? If you have it, e-mail me at tennbidder@yahoo.com THANKS Greg

I have a proposal for someone. I have purchased a Yamaha AW4416 and I need some help on using the unit. I have the manuals, but they are NOT what I would call very instructive. My idea is this. I will PAY someone to give me private lessons (via telephone...unless you are REAL close...

Thanks guys ! I have learned so much on this forum.

Hello folks, I have a Yamaha AW4416. I would like to mount the unit at an angle on my desk so that it will be easier to view. Does anyone see any problems with this ? In other words, I would like to put something underneath the back side so that it is tilted TOWARDS me. If it is OK, how much...

Fine, fine music..................... Please add me to the list of people who want a copy of the CD. One of my favorite pickers in this style is Al Pettaway and your music is right up there! I too like the minimalist approach. You certainly have the chops to carry the entire composition on...

I was just given a Shure 51 Dynamic Mic. Supposedly it works fine but my friend could not find the cable. Any ideas on where I might a cable (terminates in a 3-prong male at the mic) with the screw threads ? THANKS !

I am planning on buying a Roland VS2400 SIAB to set up a home studio. I have several musician friends who live 100 miles or so away from me who would be glad to contribute to my recording projects. Instead of asking them to come to me every time, could I lay down tracks on 2480 and transfer...

Thanks for the opinions......... It just sounded very dry to me compared to other recordings I have heard from some of the big-name acoustic folks. Anybody else ?
