Taylor,
Don't you feel like you've "gotten away with something" when you find a solution so elegant in it's simplicity? And cheap? I've also gotten an offer to take a couple of those office cubicle partitions home from my workplace. They have a thick, fuzzy surface and are filled with something...
Taylor,
Thanks for replying....I was glad to see it, I've been sitting here the whole time, watching my monitor... I haven't eaten or slept... :p
I'm going to give that a try, I did have a little too much room on my last vox...did you like it better with the top on it like you said?
I bought a used Alesis DM-5 module and of course I got no manual. I can't download one because I am on webtv and can't download pdf files. Can anyone give me enough hints to get started using a Roland SPD-6 drumpad to trigger the DM-5 with midi? The SPD-6 only has two line outputs so I can't use...
G,
read what some others and i wrote in this thread, maybe it will help you decide:

The BR8 has been replaced by the 1180. The 532 is a 4 track machine, the BR8 of course 8, and the 1180 has 10 tracks, two for mastering. Think of it as a BR8 with 2 extra tracks if that helps. I've heard that the BR8 has about the same cosm effects as the 1180, but the 1180 has better internal...
I think that's a good idea. It'll be good to be able to A/B the two. Also a little less invested in case the results are less than what we had hoped for.
Hell, I'd be afraid to try any of that hot rod mechanic-ing myself. I'd hook something to the wrong thing inside the comp and it would suck my lips through the microphone or something.

I dropped an email to the tech dude here in town. I sent him the link you posted. Maybe I'll hear...
Chessrock,
Kind of gratifying to see that your idea has already been proven to net good results, no? That's exciting news, thanks for the link. Although I am the owner of a few decent soldering irons and guns, I'm not the tech to tackle that task. However, I know a fellow here in my town who...
I dunno, you may be right, but we got a pretty decent sound out of the next ART model up, a studio MP I believe. Noise is relative of course, and very subjective. I'm one of those guys who will spend hours worrying ovr the tiniest detail in a sound if there is anything I feel I can do to improve...
Chessrock:
Out of curiosity, do you know which dbx tube pres have the starved-plate design and which ones use the real tube amp design? I'm wondering because this dude I know wants to sell me four dbx mini pres for 50 bucks each.
I also tried some ART preamps at the store. The tube MP...
I suppose it could be stressful to be caught flummoxing one's self in a public forum. We, as discrete as might be expected from such a gathering, turn our heads and pretend not to notice.
Wow, do you have a page you might share with me on that?
Taylor,
Well, I heard an RNC today at Guitar and Banjo Emporium. Sitting in a rack next to an Alesis Nanocompressor, I asked my friend o play the sme tune through both. Oh my!!!
I pick up my RNC and a couple other smaller items...
LMAO @ Pass the noodles
Taylor,
That looks like a very good preamp. Would you care to describe your system's hardware configuration? I would be interested to know how you have your things set up. Do you have a dedicated studio space? My dear beloved gave me a bedroom to call my own. It's...
Taylor, since we're on the subject, I want to mention one other thing which has helped me greatly, and that was getting to know the owners and employees at two of the music stores I frequent most. Once they got to know me and realized I was serious about buying and using their stuff, they've...
