How about the Senn HD 212s. Are they a cut between the 280s and the 202s? E?

That's interesting. The Audio-Technica cans (the ones mentioned a few posts ago) were one of the main sets I was looking at. They are one that is billed as "monitor" phones. But it sounds like they are usable without the super-cranking amp. That is what I'd assume from Scrubs' post. Maybe this...

I'm looking at a bunch of headphones, looking to buy at least one pair for recording purposes. I notice that some of them are advertised as "monitor headphones". (I started my window shopping at websites like Musician's Friend, etc.) And some of them are just called stereo headphones. My...

Ok, good to know... but what's your feeling on the Wharfdale 8.2s, since you compared them with the MX8s? I'm finding that apparently the Wharfdales are the biggest lightning rod for controversy on this bulletin board.

Thanks. I probably will be shopping right after 2005 rings in... I just happened to see some M-audio monitors discounted on a web site (don't actually remember which) so I thought I would solicit opinions on those just after I saw them. by the way... what is the "rep power" rating that goes...

Hiya, 2 questions that I would love to hear any input on: 1) Any opinions on M-Audio Studiophile 2.1 monitors? 2) the difference in structure or usefulness between open-back and closed-back headphones? -E.

2 questions: 1) Any opinions on M-Audio Studiophile 2.1 monitors? 2) the difference in structure or usefulness between open-back and closed-back headphones? -E.

thanks for tipping me off to that - I'm posting the same question over there right now. e?

Hi, I'm starting to shop for samplers. I really just started looking around so I know practically nothing about what's good, what's not. I do know : (a) I'm basically looking for the capability to store and sample phrases from line or mic and have them playable at the touch of a button...

Has anyone heard anything about Fostex coming out with a new model? I was in a music store today, to ask about their price on the VF160, and the guy told me (apparently repeating what the Fostex company had told him when he called) that there's a new model that'll be available in under a month...

Hmmm, that seems odd to me - I would have guessed that storing recorded material as program data would be *more* compact ... i.e. a CD could take many more songs' worth of program data than it could take songs recorded as a standard audio disc. But it seems I would have guessed wrong. Do you...

Aha. You've uncovered something. I was using "CD-R drive" to refer to a stand-alone CD burner. Basically, I was equating the two things. See, in my heart of hearts, I'm not a techie. I do what I can to pick up terminology - and throw it around too - but I sometimes completely miss details like...

Let me see if I have this straight - you're recording to sound card/PC, right? I guess in my original question I was just inquiring about compatibility between CD-R drives and standalone multitrackers...

Does anyone know about issues of compatibility between digital multitrackers and external CD-R drives? Is it common for a recorder to have only one type or a few types (i.e. brands) of Cd-R drives that are compatible? I read somewhere that Fostex recorders (before the VF160 and the inclusion of...

Hey, good point about technique vs. technology. When I get in the thick of trying to compare machines and their individual differences that are often on the level of minute detail, sometimes I have to remind myself that it's really less about minute details than how you bend the recording...

Hi everyone I'm going to ask what I feel is probably a question with no good answer, but I'm gonna ask it anyway... (what you think of that?) I'm interested in comparing different digital multitrackers purely in terms of sound quality. Meaning, for one thing, the quality of the AD converters...

Hi do any of you own Roland Juno synths, and/or have any experience fixing them? (Any of the Juno series, but especially a Juno-2)?

relating to what's been discussed so far: : does the Fostex VF16 have that problem of not having real knobs and sliders on the face? I saw some pictures of it on the web and I thought I remembered there being some kind of console on it. : and does anyone who's been following this have thoughts...

questions : : what is S/PDIF? : A/D converters have been mentioned repeatedly ... they are internal on any digital recorder, right? Do any mixers convert analog to digi before they output? You wouldn't need an external converter? And what's the scale of bit-rate like (someone referred to this)...

Thanks to everyone who's replied since I last checked in... having more input is really a good thing. Steven Lindsey mentioned the need for an external pre-amp, because the Korg recorder (or yours, anyway) had weak ones. What would be the effect on the recorded sound of having subpar pre-amps...
