Not sure where to put this so mod feel free to move it. Got an e-mail from Benchmark that was way cool. Not trying to push Benchmark, but they have 3 videos out of 3 different groups in the studio. 10 minute HD productions showing tracking and final product from their recording session. Great...

I have an opportunity to pick this mic up used for $140. Anyone have any experience with it, opionions, sound like a good deal? Thanks

Not sure where to put this thread. I read about this site in Recording Magazine. I browsed through it and it seems interesting. I'm currently using Soundclick, but I was curious if others use it and their feedback. I searched the forums, but nothing came back. The url is: http://whotune.com/

Anybody using this DAW. I would like to hear feedback. It looks interesting. Thanks
