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..

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?

Everyone has had time to play around with it by now (except poor fools like me who can't afford it right now). How does everybody like it?

Hey, I'm just working on building my new computer, like every other schmo in here. So far I have: Motherboard: ABIT IC7 CPU: Intel Pentium 4 / 2.4 GHz Hard Drive (OS): Seagate 40GB 7200 rpm EIDE 2MB Cache Hard Drive (Files): Seagate 120GB 7200 rpm EIDE 8MB Cache RAM: DVD RW: Power Supply...

I was just going through what I want to buy and how to go about setting aside money for it, etc, etc. So I was curious. How many of you are setting aside money to buy that expensive preamp? How about that new set of monitors? I know what I'm doing. Over the next ten months I'll be the...

So when I track I track through all those good preamps, etc. I want to send my tracks out of my delta 1010 to mix on my soundcraft m12. Won't sending them back in the line in use the preamps of the m12, defeating the purpose of using the good preamps to track with? I dunno. I'm interested in...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2555434037&category=41465 It's only going for about $230 right now. Just thought someone might wanna grab it. I can't wait until I get to pick one up. Eh.. I just noticed that there's a reserve that hasn't been met yet. Might not be as...

I checked on the Waves site and didn't see anything about it. Do they have an upgrade system, where you can upgrade from older versions of their programs to newer ones for cheaper than normal? I know most programs have this. I just bought the Native Bundle version 2.5 on ebay and I was...

I'm finally looking for that 'gold vocal channel.' Pretty simple thread. My price range will be around 1k, give or take a few hundred depending on drastic improvements in quality. I don't know too much about 'higher end' stuff. Right now I just have an M12 that I put everything through. 2...

I searched but didn't come up with much. I was wondering what the limitations of Firewire are. I know with USB you can only record like 4 tracks at a time or something like that, is firewire similar? I'm thinking of upgrading and getting a MOTU 828 mkII, so I was curious. Can people link me...

How does the Sonic Timeworks Compressor X and Sonic Timeworks EQ stand up to the lower end Waves stuff, like the renaissance eq and comp? I'm just wondering if I should spend the extra $100 on the XL or if I should just scrap it and buy a Waves bundle. Opinions from people that have used both?

Cool Edit Pro 2 had about 10 different types of wavs... Which one should I mix down to? What're the differences?

http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2912&alid=-1 Okay. Here are the stats: Recorded through M12 pres direct out to delta 1010 onto Cool Edit Pro. Mixed on Alesis M1 actives. Drums had two ohs and snare and kick. Bass was DI with some new DI box (don't even remember the...

Mixing: Nearfield monitors vs. Crummy speakers for levels When I was in one of my classes at a studio my teacher told me that when you're setting levels you should listen through 'crummy speakers' instead of your monitors. I don't remember his reasoning for that. I finished my mix today on a...

I was just wondering how good these are? I'm looking through a Full Compass thing I got with my mxl 603s and they're on closeout for $795 (8 channels) and are usually $2500 it looks like. I can't find them at 8th St or Bayview or anythign to compare prices. How do these rate compared to other...
