I've read a bunch of discussions, and the Soundcraft and Allen/Heaths are always recommended over the Mackies. Their pres are supposed to be just a bit better, but the EQs are supposed to smash the hell out of Mackies'.

Will, I'm happy to say that the serial number is 029530, meaning this is a 67 Gibson SG. Not to mention a 67 Gibson SG that I bought for $500.

It does, it's just so old that the color in the numbers has worn off. You can just barely make it out. I took a look at home but I don't remember the number. I'm going to check it out during my next break.

I'm going to have to check when I get home if that's where it is. On gibson.com they have serial number lists so you can ID them. Awesome.

I just picked up a '67 SG and I was wondering how I could authenticate it to make sure it is in fact a '67 SG. Do I have to take it to someone? I looked and coundn't find a serial number on it anywhere..

Yorks.

The gun, right?

I'm wondering the quality difference with the converters, and also the difference in the preamps (MOTU has 2, DIGI has 4). My decision will be either to go with the Digi with Protools LE, or to go with the MOTU with Sonar 3. Has anybody used both that can offer up opinions?

Every 'pro' I've seen use a compressor has fiddled with the knobs EVERY time. There are never perfect presets (though there are general ideas of how to set stuff that will come with time).

It's not even a question. Microphone preamps are REQUIRED to get microphones up to line level.

Why don't you track everything to tape and then when you're mixing you can experiment with the compressor and decide what sounds right instead of 'setting and forgetting?'

That's tempting when you have a line of credit for exactly $1000.

It's already plugged in and working!!! :D Thanks for the info.

I think you can buy the waves plug ins as singles, too, instead of the full sets.
