    Pre with "sweepable"/adjustable input impedance

    I'm looking for information on adjusting the input impedance on my new ART DPS II. I was thinking I'd just adjust it to match the output impedance of any particular mic I was using, but the manual makes it sound like I can use other impedances other than the mics output impedance to change the...

    Triggering software

    I need a PC program that will allow me to trigger a drum sample from an actual drum track. It needs to be volume/velocity sensitive so if I trigger a snare (for example) from a snare track, the strikes will be equally strong when blended. I have Cubase SX and Reason 2.0. Will either of...

    Anyone use the Behringer V-Amp?

    I was looking at this for my guitar stuff. How does it sound. Can you get a good variety of sounds? I want a small module (cause I like the Line 6 POD but this is cheaper and has pedals included) that I can run straight into my vs2480.
