    RME Fireface 800 or Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56

    I wish I could help you by knowing what the preamps from these two units sound like side X side. I will say my new RME babyface has excellent sounding preamps. Clear as water and balanced. It will lay bare the subtle differences in mics and let you know what you are feeding it- good or bad. It...

    4 Mics. Unlimited budget. Go.

    I was just talking about that commercial today! One of my all-time favorites!

    Ha ha! That's very true! Well....let's see...my new monitors are underwhelming. I wish I would have spent the money towards a pair of Focal Solo6's. I need more mics....bass traps....a nicer RTA....a better laptop....and...and....I'll think of more. Hold on.

    Thanks Henry! I'm glad to hear you say that because (little does my wife know) I have more stuff to buy. :)

    Have a cigar!

    I was messing around with this late last night, and it was a bit of a pain to get it going with Windows 7/64 bit. Microsoft makes it so the software will not autorun, so I manually installed everything from the CD, and set the babyface as the default sound device. I restarted and Windows...

    S/PDIF out OR Optical out

    Thanks. Look, I may not be a recording engineer, but I am a mechanical engineer. My field is commercial construction, so I am not well versed on fiber optics save for what my father in law has shared with me (he used to be part owner of AussieCom). I enlisted my former classmate who is now a...

    Finally- at approximately 2:30pm, my new baby was delivered. Build quality seems excellent- the whole case/knob is billet aluminum. My biggest concern is whether it plays nice with Win 7/64.

    S/PDIF out OR Optical out

    You have issues. Let's review the facts and catch everyone up [(including you) though I doubt it makes any difference seeing how your head is so far jammed up there you cannot possibly be reasoned with.] OP (and others) mention Toslink cables and their so called immunity to electromagnetic...

    S/PDIF out OR Optical out

    Sorry I can't leave this alone- it's too easy. Could your all out IGNORANCE regarding the properties of plastic and fiberoptics in general have anything to do with your 'retirement' as vice president of 'operations and engineering'? After all, a common third grader would know electromagnetic...

    Vocal mic comparison! VOTE NOW AND DISCUSS

    Thank goodness I'm not alone! You just gotta use them to know anything definitive.

    Fed's raid Gibson ..now I've seen it all

    I read the article, and a few others regarding the raid and I'm not walking away with any conspiracy theories. They are being accused of violating the Lacey Act- specifically the illegal use of rosewood from Madagascar. The computers were seized as part of the investigation. Makes sense to me...

    S/PDIF out OR Optical out

    Don't take my word for it, talk to people who lay fiberoptic mains cables for infrastructure and look at all the things to do to protect signal integrity when it passes under major power lines. Do more research instead of simply saying you are skeptical. With all do respect, When I don't know...

    Acoustic panel fabric.. i know, another question! (Canada)

    About ten years ago I lost two cousins who's basement caught on fire while they were having band practice. The fire department said it wasn't the fire that likely killed them; it was the fumes given off by their DIY soundproofing. They might have been able to escape a normal fire, but the...

    S/PDIF out OR Optical out

    Actually, the white paper ALSO says "resistant", and it is conflicting but consider this: My father-in-law has done well in the fiber optic business and it's something he would share information with me about. He sat on the board of one of the biggest fiber optic companies around and he told me...

    Acoustic Stevie Wonder cover

    I like the tone of your voice. It sounds like you restrict yourself with the "heart" part- as if you're not sure where your notes will land. I can tell you want to bust out and hit more powerful notes because you express those dynamics during other parts, so you have the chops. As an outside...

    Song Structuring..

    I sometimes start with a method, but it's unintentional. After hearing it a few times I try to rewrite it so that it is less predictable, but even that has become somewhat predictable. Lately, I have been listening to music with unusual time signatures and trying to incorporate it. It feels...
