doubtless they'll be cutting corners. It just seems to be common sense. also, I've read tons of bad reviews about the firepod's less than stellar digital conversion, latency, and clarity. I'm not so interested in the preamps anyway, although I also like the option of going bus powered without...

cheaper than all other cards in it's range of general capabilities (adat, spidif, routing options being slightly superfluous for my needs) why does no one really talk about it or seem to use it? I've found no bad reviews anywhere. the worst thing I've found is that the preamps maybe aren't as...

I used to use cool edit/adobe audition on my old pc, but now I have a macbook pro. I've been fooling around with some programs (logic, digital performer, bias peak, etc.) with audition I could simply switch to the edit view, apply effects and immediately see the visual outcome (and obviously...

would it be faster to daisychain the harddrive with the ultralite, or should I plug the ultralite into my firewire 400 port and plug my external harddrive into the firewire 800 port? I have a macbook pro laptop

also, are the preamps in the mkII and the 8pre the exact same... I'm also considering the 8pre

unlike other manufacturers, it seems that you cannot (easily) obtain secs for motu products and you can't download the manual from the web site. I'm probably wrong, (sometimes I suck at looking for stuff) but does anyone know where I can find the specs for above mentioned product. also, I'm...

hey, I have an intel mac and I'm wondering does anyone know where I can download a good free spectrum analyzer. web search yielded sub par results

do a q sweep with the parametric equalizer.... then you can isolate the frequency of the pedal squeak and lower it. then again it might hurt the overall eq of your vibes track. I personally dig weird sounds like pedal squeaks... I think anything in the groove can't hurt your song. you can...

thanks for the suggestions so far the mxl 960 seems likw a good deal. I'm mostly concerned with signal to noise ratio..... I want to get a mic that does a good job putting the vocals infront of the mix

wow what a flood of replies. thanks for the comments on the akg... I'm hoping to get at least one decent condenser for $300 or under I currently have an MXL603 and MXL2003.... I like the MXL2003 (any opinions?) but I find the 603 to be sub par for acoustic recording... the bass response is a...

what is a good condenser mic combo to use for vocal/acoustic guitar that marginalizes bleed. I've heard good things about akg c1000's any other suggestions?

I've boiled it down to two choices: RME fireface 400 and Onyx 400f. I understand that the RME is probably a lot better but for 300 I'm short two preamps. am I better to buy the onyx and spend another 300 on a two channel mic preamp? I've been researching endlessly but I'm not adept at this...

I've noticed this issue with outher audio interfaces... if I use the front panel preamps on the fireface, do they defeat the line inputs on the back and vice versa. or, say I buy a seperate mic preamp, can I just keep adding inputs? can't find an online manual for the rme so I'm stumped

I notice on some interfaces you cannot record from the preamps and the line inputs simultaneously (example: M-audio 410) I can't find info to say one way or another... does anyone know???

so its true that you can only record two tracks simulataneously?
