(good lord, and he we go.... :() 'Yeah' - that's exactly what I'm trying to do here - 'throw out 'balls' for people to catch so that some good, wholesome 'arguing' can take place...... (thanks a lot guys) Look you two - if you honestly think I'm trying to come in here to start 'wars' or...

- Hogwash. I'm certainly not out to change your mind mr.'funk-daddy' (because I could honestly care less:cool: ) - but first off, you can get Macs at very reasonable prices depending on how you go about it (it's not 2002 anymore, plus, you can build your own Mac as well, for much lower costs...

I tell ya, I just don't understand guys or 'kids' like you (mr. Alotawatts) The man asked a very simple, straight-forward question in regards to which of those TWO units (and only TWO) would be the better choice for him - and for whatever reasons, guys like yourself always seem to feel some...

No problem at all Glen, - same to you my friend. However, I've actually been a member of this forum for many years now, but have had to change 'email addresses' a few times over that same period - and it wouldn't let me 'come back in' as the same member & with a 'non-active' email account. So...

Glen, nothing has been de-railed my friend - and you & I are cool man. (and I'm glad to see you picked-up on the russian spacecraft thing by the way):D Trust me, I never come into any forums to 'argue' or 'start' arguments - anything like that. Like you said, I think you & I just had a...

Funny you mention that. Our studio has both a guitar and guitar amp 'repair-hotrod' facility in the back. Gotcha covered:D

I understand what you're saying Miroslav, I really do. Maybe that's where I'm not making myself as clear as I could have (even though I think I've tried it 3-4 times now:) - but I'll try it once more: I do have a main set of 'A' monitors, and I do use them for nearly every mix I do, and I...

(ok then, allow me to retort.......:cool: 'Life is too short?............(I don't think it's quite that short) - What if you do need to invest more time? And why is it a complete 'waste of time' to try 'new' or unconventional things? Hell, it's 'fun' for me! - That's engineering my friend...

I have to respectfully disagree on this one. I do know what you mean by 'mastering' your ears to one set of decent monitors and it sounding fairly good across the board. - but on the other hand: a) it just never hurts to listen to a mix on several systems or various monitors of some sort. I...

Nice. Those are some great mics man - both of them. I may just do a little thinking on one of them at least. - thanks for the link.

How much for the Royer by the way?

I have to disagree with you on this one . 'True', nearly everyone & their grandmother nowadays is in a 'band', owns a laptop DAW program, a couple of mics & cheap monitors. 'Yes', they can record 'decent' demos from this highly-new trend of recording. However, RARELY - are they going to make...

I agree with Tom at Waltz Mastering as well - use as many different reference 'monitors', speaker set-ups, headphones, ipods, etc, as possible. When you can get a really 'nice' mix that applies to all of your various monitors (and it sounds fairly 'even' throughout) you're in good shape:) - and...

Does anyone know where I can get some replacement VU meter bulbs for a Studer A80 MKIV? The only ones I've been able to find so far are on Ebay for about $15 for 4 bulbs (with addition of shipping costs of another $15!) - so that's basically about $30 for 4 bulbs!! (I think these are being...

me? - I'm currently using an Otari MTR-10. (but I have no idea as to what type of tape this machine is 'set-up' for - nor, can I find that information in the manual anywhere.)

I agree, I think mixing down to a 2-track analog mastering deck is the best way to go if you're really wanting to keep as much as possible in the 'analog' world. However, in the end, you unfortunately still have to get that 'final, final-mix' onto a CD (or god-forbid, the dreadful Mp3:mad:)...

- sorry, but 'how much' is roughly '400-600 euros' in American money?:confused: ('no', I don't get out much):)

First off, what kind of recording gear are you using? (mixing board, recording deck, etc) Second, if you're just using a basic, all-around 'mixing board' of some type - chances are, it probably has inserts on each (or at least some) of the channels. Therefore, if you've already tracked your...

Does anyone out there know the main difference between Ampex 456 and GP9 for the most part? I'm considering using the GP9 on both a 1/4-inch 2-track mastering deck, and also for a Studer 24-track 2-inch. I've heard that the GP9 tape is a good bit 'hotter' (or allows more 'headroom') than Ampex...

Yeah, I hear you on that one DR. Zee - I don't think many of these companies now expect hardly anyone to spin reels any longer either. But that's exactly what I'm trying to do here. Basically trying to blend the 'best of both worlds' here :) Well first off, thanks to each of you for your input...
