    Q2: Whats new with rackmounted PC cases?

    Yes, that ships without a power supply, and it DOES accept a standard ATX supply. It was really easy, just swapped my entire system into that rackmount case... It's just about perfect!

    Check out http://servercase.com/miva/miva?/Merchant2/merchant.mv+Screen=PROD&Store_Code=SC&Product_Code=CK588&Category_Code=MS Only 17.7" deep, and it looks much better in real life than this photo. Just got it last week, and I'm really extremely happy with it.

    Tnx 4 all the advice...got new soundcard today

    I knew that setup would wourk out great for you! For me, the M-Audio stuff has always installed in a matter of minutes and sounded great right out of the box... Glad to hear you're having the same experience!

    DELTA 410 as an 8 out multitrack card?

    Yeah, I don't see why not - the spdif in would then become the master clock signal, which would pass through to the second card and then control everything. I suppose that means you would change the first card's master clock setting from "internal xtal" to "spdif in." Can't think of any reason...

    DELTA 410 as an 8 out multitrack card?

    I wouldn't expect any conflicts with running multiple cards in that system. Here's what the m-audio site says about running mutliple cards, hope this helps! Multi-card Syncing two Delta Series cards together Configuring two or more Delta cards together can be done by linking the cards...

    DELTA 410 as an 8 out multitrack card?

    Oh, then again - I guess you probably don't need to clock sync the cards together for output? That would probably only be an issue if you also wanted to record through the 410 simultaneously with the 1010... onl two analog ins on the 410, so that seems kinda pointless... And all of this is...

    DELTA 410 as an 8 out multitrack card?

    Yep. It'll do exactly that. In my case, I use the 8 analog outs to feed various unbalanced outboard effects, from Nuendo (and I have to assume that any pro multitrack software package would have similar routing options). Also running Win98SE. Works like a charm! No hassles whatsoever, and that...

    Delta 410 or AP 2496?

    Yeah, I think it really depends on the setup - I previously ran delta cards on a via chipset with Athlon (can't remember which chipset) and had nothing but problems, then switched to a mobo with an AMD 751 chipset - now it's rock solid. Let's put it this way: the ONLY time I've ever heard of...

    Delta 410 or AP 2496?

    The 410 has been discontinued, which is the reason for the lower price - inventory blowout. But yes, I've had both cards, and they sound identical. I think they're great! The delta series cards have big problems with the VIA chipset, however, so check your motherboard specs first...

    What is the deal with all the dbx 160 series compressors?

    Nah, don't knock yourself out over it. If you saw which model I'm talking about, I'm sure you'd say "oh yeah, that's gotta be a 118." I'd be shocked to find out that it was different, internally... Same era and wood-sided construction, same faceplate layout. If people are already getting...

    What is the deal with all the dbx 160 series compressors?

    Also, Tom, isn't the 128 the same as the 118? The 128 is like a 118 and a 122 "noise reduction system" crammed into the same box... I just ignore the "noise reduction" side of it... Grabbed one on ebay for $30.

    Your rack is really sexy but...

    For the record, I DO actually agree with Blue Bear's critique to some extent. The recordings in question aren't perfect, by a long shot - then again, rock and/or roll was never perfect to begin with (yes, these songs vaguely count as rock and roll)... and I'm just SO bummed to see a new guy come...

    Your rack is really sexy but...

    Well, Blue Bear - let me just say THANKS that I don't have to book studio time with arrogant, know-it-all overpriced engineers like you, anymore - you're exactly the reason why HOME recording is so popular. No matter how much you want to whine about the quality of home recording... dmbfrk didn't...

    Your rack is really sexy but...

    I'm absolutely shocked that "Blue Bear" chose to rip into the production of the songs on dmbfrk's website - "too much top end" or whatever his complaints were, are COMPLETELY out of line and are extremely nitpicky to begin with. This stuff DOES sound as good as anything you could do at an...

    Which headphone amp?

    Dunno if a half-rack unit would suit you, but ART has a new half-space 5-output headphone amp for $79-ish. Sounds just fine - then again, so does the behringer. Honestly, at this price, I don't think anything is going to be signinifcantly better, or better made, than the behringer. Not that I'd...

    HA4600 headphone amp -- got a lemon

    I bought four Behinger MDX4400 multicoms (4 channel comp/limiters), for my 16 track mobile rig - one of them was D.O.A.. So, hey, one in four odds of a d.o.a. behringer sounds about right! On the other hand, my experience with the behringer stuff is that it doesn't break down, really, it's just...

    A good complimentary mic to the ATM25?

    Funny - I just had the same situation. Ended up complimenting my ATM25 with a Sennheiser E602. It's completely different from the ATM25, which is why I got it! Much more "click" on the kick drum - So, it's a nice option. I'll use the ATM25 on certain kick drums, and almost all bass cabs...

    V-Amp or J- Station

    I've got them both, and you can't really go wrong either way. To my ears, the Johnson is darker and thicker, more tightly compressed - while the V-amp is brighter and more "pop-rock" sounding. They both do a really great job of cabinet simulation and have great 'verbs. In the long run, I think...

    Male Vocal - MXL V67G??

    Even with the best of mics, sometimes a particular voice just isn't suited for a particular mic - so of course it's an impossible question to answer, "will I sound good on this mic?" But, odds are, yes, you'll probably love the sound of this mic. I paid $200 for mine when they first came out...
