And yet another vote for Soundcraft from me, too. I bought a used Spirit M12 based on recommendations from some members on this forum. What a nice piece of kit! I only paid $350 for it on eBay, so don't overlook the used market. It will satisfy my needs for quite a while to come, I'm sure...

Hey, Richie! Thanks for the link. Just what I needed!

Any specific recommendations regarding AV software for a home recording PC? I agree with your statement about Norton and McAfee, and I'm looking for a good alternative. I really hate the way that these AV programs take over your computer, to the point where they can't even be turned off...

Hi, friends... I own an old Sennheiser MD421-U-5 dynamic mic, serial number in the 14,000 range. Works perfectly and looks like it is brand new. However, the clip was broken and lost years ago. I'm thinking of bringing it out of retirement and putting it to use as a guitar cab mic. I need...

Good stuff! Thanks for taking the time to post these tips. For those just starting out (like me), this is invaluable info and great ways to spark creativity. I did some cut-n-paste and a little formatting, then saved both of your informational posts in a folder on my home recording PC for...

Amen! 'Tis a rarity nowadays, at twice his age. Welcome!

OMG! I hate you! :D What a BEAUTIFUL environment. Good for you, my friend! Can I come over and play?

If I understand your question correctly, you want to be able to convert the output of a regular Fender Strat into MIDI information for subsequent editing and/or control of MIDI data. In order to do so, you will need a special Hex pickup (one pickup per string) retrofitted to your Strat and fed...

Thanks for your input and the link, Chili. I am truly impressed with the quality and performance of FMR's products, but I think that I'll need to personally gain more experience in my home studio before I'll be able to obtain the full benefit of adding their "leveling amplifier" to my arsenal...

I guess I'll pass... Well, I suppose that if I don't know what it does or how to use it, then I don't need it! :)

Hang in there! Hey, Doc... I've been following your foray into home recording for awhile, and let me just say that you are making amazing progress in a very short period of time! Your realization that room treatment must be considered is just another one of those "Aha!" moments in disguise...

Thanks for the idea and the link. I'll try your suggestion and see if I can figure this out. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this one for some reason. Anyone else have some input on this?

Hi, folks. I've already purchased both the "Really Nice Preamp" (RNP) and the "Really Nice Compressor" (RNC) from FMR Audio after doing a lot of research here and on gearslutz.com, among other places. I am really pleased with both units and so far I feel like I've made good choices by adding...

The Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 is also on my short list of contenders. Thanks for the endorsement!

I don't know whether or not MOTU is more stable than Presonus, and I'm certainly not trying to knock MOTU at all. The Ultralite seemed to be perfect for my needs until I ran across so many user complaints of incompatibilities under Windows , mostly related to the Firewire interface. It seems...

I'll be considering just using my audio interface as the one and only soundcard in my PC after contemplating these responses. Simpler is better, in most cases. BTW, I have just about ruled out the MOTU Ultralite as a contender for my PC-based DAW after doing a little deeper research. Seems...

I'm considering the purchase of a MOTU Ultralite mk3 audio interface for my home recording PC. I'll be running Windows XP SP3 as the main OS for the home recording activities, but I'll also be running Windows 7 Professional on the same machine in a dual-boot configuration. The Win 7 OS will be...

Ha! Don't feel bad. I did the EXACT same thing! I'd been a member of this forum for quite a while when I accidentally ran across a reference in one of the posts about the "Cakewalk Sonar" discussion group, while doing a forum search. I was like, "What the hell?", and discovered a whole new...

Hah! Wonderful! Muchas gracias, mi amigo! They will be mine...

What are these "monster packs" called, and where can I get them? I can't find anything on Toontracks site for $29. Thanks for the help!
