Hd 500 Just got one. There are some glitches and bugs. It is new. Check the threads in the Line 6 users forum to get a sense of the issues. I have run into them in just a short time. Overall,the models and the effects sound really good and the thing will all but clean the house. There is a real...

The 57 is an awesome mic for recording rock/blues/country guitar. It has a sonic signiture that sets up in the mix easily. Cannot go wrong with a 57 and if you don't own one you should for the versatility. But I use the Senn live and really like it; I prefer low volume on stage and like the...

Yea, I personally like to record guitars direct but not all guitarist like that.

This Works for Me Using my eight real time inputs with everyone in the room looking at each other: 6 mics on drums 1 bass -- direct; can go back and use an amp if needed. 1 scratch vocal - standing in the corner and singing softly into a 58 so not to bleed into other tracks Guitarist plays...

FMR RNP is an excellent choice for the money for an upgrade. Find one on ebay. I would use the preamps on my mixer or on my interface before using a $99 "tube" preamp. I tried the cheap ART and hated it. IMHO.

Hi, Will my files from Cubase 5.0 open in the new versions of Cubase and vice-versa? Any issues? Thanks

FMR AUDIO "REALLY NICE COMPRESSOR." Do a search and you'll learn about it. About $175. I think the RNC is a good investment. It seems very transparent when applied gently. I have learned to use this compressor during tracking with good results especially using the supernice mode. A little...

But understand that usually you are sacrificing significant sound quality for this.

Agree with starch on the bleeding over, especially for home studios without isolation rooms. This is a major advantage. Another advantage is that your're not committed to your amp tone and settings. If you record direct and then use a plug in like Amplitube or AmpFarm, your options are...

Yes, my Aark 24 has TRS inputs. It also has definable outputs so I can route the input directly back to the Mackie board for monitoring. This is very cool, guys. Thanks!

This question is of great interest to me since I just plunked down $$$ for the RNP. What does the block diagram tell me, mixsit? Should I really bypass the Mackie altogether?

I think that you just have the wrong cable for your mic. I would buy an inexpensive XLR to XLR cable and plug into the XLR input and see if that works. Turn off phantom power. While you are saving up for a good mic, you should be able to do fine with you SM57.

I plug my FMR RNP preamp into the line-in. I have assumed that this does bypass the mackie mic preamp stage, but still routes the signal through the EQ section. Am I correct? The most pristine path is direct in to the soundcard as you say, but you lose the advantages of the mixer. I use my mixer...

Agree about the manual. I've learned most everything by trial and error. Here's how to punch in: 1. Enable your channel for recording. 2. Set your R and L locator points for the part you want to record. 3. Go to the transport bar. On the far left at the bottom corner, set "cycle recording mode"...

I'm having the same problem... with clicks and have been trying to use the crossfade with varying success. Whenever I patch audio segments together by placing them in different lanes, I get clicks. Is this normal? Any advice on how to use the crossfade? Prometheus, you can punch in by setting...
