Hi All: I've been lurking in the MP3 clinic for a while and decided it's time to jump in the fray. I recorded a demo for my band and finally got the streaming versions of clips up on the site, and I'm wondering if maybe my fellow homereccers could give me some feedback on the songs. Or, any...

Hafler P1500 amp. Nice and clean studio reference amp. $200 Voce Micro BII half-rack module. Emulates Hammond B3, does a pretty good job -- better than most synths out today that aren't dedicated to organ emulation. This unit DOES NOT have drawbars; but it has like 36 presets of different...

Hi All: I'm hoping you can help me. I have a Kurzweil PC2R module. I want to control this module via 2 separate keyboards, because sometimes I want to play the sounds off the top-tier keyboard -- a Roland U20 -- and sometimes from the bottom one -- a Nord Electro2. What is the connection...

Hi, this is really a PA question, which is why I'm posting in "other equipment." :) I'm in the market for PA gear, and someone in my area is selling a Horizon arm 112H-1 wedge spot monitor for pretty cheap. Thing is, I've never heard of this company! I can't even find them on the Web (I don't...

Anyone have experience with both of these amps to say if one's better than the other? I have to say, the specs I've found on them make them both out to be pretty similar (except Alesis claims their amp pumps out more watts per channel at 8 ohms; and the Hafler is bridge-mono-capable, while the...

Hey all, this last weekend I played a gig at this club that had the deadest stage I've EVER heard (not to say I have a comprehensive knowledge, but I've played more than a few places ...). When the drummer was testing his kit, all the high-end ring was sucked out. This was very interesting to...

Hi everyone: I've done a search on the topic of concert recording but wasn't able to find the specific info I need. Next weekend, I have the privilege of sharing the stage with some fantastic musicians. If they (or the their management) is willing to let me record the event for posterity, I...

Hi everyone: I'm hoping some of you have some insight into this problem -- either because you have the same hard-disk recorder or experienced it with other sources and your Digi 001. When I connect the Digi and VS together via SPDIF to dump 2 tracks at a time into the computer, I keep getting...

Hi all. Here's my situation. Right now I have Pro Tools Free and Cool Edit Pro 1.1 for tracking on my PC. Both are doing fine right now, but neither has reverb -- in fact, from what I understand, CEP 1.1 doesn't work with real-time effects at all. So here's what I can do: * switch my system...

Hi all: That's right, I have an oooolllld version of Cool Edit ... my CD says it's CoolEdit SE Version 1.1. My question is, does anyone know if I can use 3d-party plugins, preferably real-time, with this version? I know ver. 2.0 includes plugins and that makes it different from previous CEP...

I hope you all don't mind if I ask this question as a new thread ... I was reading the "NTKs as overheads" thread and posted a question there and then realized it's likely to be buried there ... But the question I have stems from the observation that a lot of people use LD condensers for...

Hello. I read a recent thread regarding the Delta 66 Omni package, and it seems to have some very happy users. I may be able to buy one barely used for a good deal soon, and I have a question that I'm hoping someone could answer. I don't recall it being answered yet and can't find anything...

I have a Gina Echo card with 2 inputs. Trouble is, I can't get anyting from input 2 to record. I know it works, because I can use both/either of the inputs to record in Pro Tools Free. Does anyone know why this might be happening in Cool Edit? Could it have to do with tracks being set up as...

Anyone have opinions on what is a good sound module for realistic strings? I have a Roland U-20, which ain't cuttin' it (a friend of mine refers to those low notes as "dragon farts"). I'm hoping I can get a nice bowed bass, cello, violin, and perhaps ensemble patch. Because I need strings...

I'm sorry to have to ask this, but I couldn't find anything in the archives that provided an answer. I guess my knowledge it at too basic a level; that's why I keep asking these damn questions about A/D conversion, because I'm trying to understand. Maybe one of these days I'll get it. Anyway...

I've seen in several posts on this board that the Delta 1010 is the best-sounding card out there ... that part of this is because of its converters. Does anyone know how the Delta 1010LT and Delta 66 stack up to the rack 1010 in terms of sound quality? They're cheaper, and I'm thinking the 66's...

A recent thread touched on how to fix monitoring latency for a vocalist who was recording, and this got me thinking. I have some other questions, because I am experiencing some serious latency in my new endeavors of recording on PC (I had previously recorded on a stand-alone recorder). Question...

I'm hella confused on the A/D conversion thing. Anyone: Is the Delta 1010 is as good-sounding as say the Motu stuff? Are the Digi 001's converters really crap? Charger (since you worked at Digi): If Digi's not using AKM like everyone else seems to be using (except the manufacturers using...

I've heard that the converters in Pro Tools Digi 001, some other sound cards, and in the common stand-alone DAWs (Roland VS, Yamaha, etc) are not very good... that if one truly wants a nice sound out of any of these, one should bypass the onboard converters and use an A/D converter. OK, here's...

Hi folks. After much research I've decided that I need a pair of small-diaphragm cardioid condensers. I don't know very much about these, but I'd like a pair that I can use to record upright piano and overhead drums primarily, and the music style is jazzy/rock/pop ... I don't need dirty or...
