Success! I soaked the spot overnight with water (a piece of paper towel on it, angles just right so it wouldn't run away) and gently attacked it again this morning. In the end I think I was just lucky--there was more glue on one side than the other, and I just happened to be working on that side...

Hi Folks- I picked up this beauty at a yard sale, and would like to refurb the inside--the foam is rotten. The problem is getting it apart. There are three machine screws holing it together--two were easy, they are accessed from the rear. The third is hidden beneath the little Shure emblem...

Hi All- Has anyone used these? I'm thinking of getting a pair--they're in my price range, are the right size for my setup, etc--but I can't find them anywhere to listen to. Wondering if anyone has heard them (or any other iKey Audio models) and what your impressions were. Ikey Audio M606 V2...

Hi Folks- Trying to find out if anyone has taken the grill off an ACM-200 yet. I removed the 3 set screws 'round the bottom of the grill, but that just loosened the head from the rest of the body, and didn't help with the grill. The microphone is fine; I just want to get a look at the ribbon...

Hi Folks- Just got a DMP3, and have only tried it a bit so far, but my first impression is that the VU meters are somewhat useless. They look nice, but on the unit I got, they don't seem to move much--or at least not in a usable way. Is this normal? Is it something others have noted? It's...

Hi All I have no experience with the pop filters that are made with metallic gratings (much like a mic grill). How do they compare to the types covered with sheer fabric? Do they seem to suppress pops, etc more/less? Do they color the sound differently? Any real difference at all? Thanks-

Hi All A friend is just starting out, recording some ideas on her home PC, and would benefit from a better sound card (I believe she currently has a built-in chip solution, not absolutely sure). I have an Audiophile 2496 and am very satisfied with it, but I haven't been in the market for quite a...

HI All I use Sonar 1. I use it just infrequently enough (in fits here and there) that I forget some things in-between uses...this is one of those times. :( I have an Audiophile 24/96 card, and I cannot use the Session Drummer plug-in with it--I assume because the 24/96 doesn't have MIDI...

Hi All Got my 2496 up and running after fighting with it a while, then giving up. A few months later, I tried again, and it works like a charm now. No idea why. But anyway--where should the Windows Volume control be set? All the way up? or does that introduce some sort of Windows distortion...

HI All I am going to get a V67G, for various things including voiceovers, and every so often I see a reference to a V67 that is finished in black, not green/gold. I'm wondering--are these two the same microphone on the inside, just different finishes on the outside? If so, and if I can get...

Hi All Just curious as to what motherboards are being used out there...maybe chipset would be a better way of differentiating them. I'm curious to see if anything like a consensus arises. Asus P4PE (Intel 845PE chipset) here. Chris

Hi All I admit defeat. Audiophile 1, Chris 0. I have tried everything I can possibly think of, and everything everyone else could possibly think of, and am left with pops and crackles in my sound--or a large amount of latency if I adjust buffers to get rid of it. I have tried fixing it for the...

Hi All I've been wrestling with an annoyingly large latency with my new Audiophile card (34ms) and I'm wondering something. I am running an old version of Sonar--v.1, I believe. I have also been testing the latency with Pro Audio 9. They both come up with the same numbers--34ms, or thereabouts...

Hi All I see that Home Studio 2004 seems to have be superceded by Home Studio Version 2. The Cakewalk website says the only difference is the packaging, and the addition of the Cakewalk VST Adapter. I assume that's correct, but I remember a thread a while back where someone mentioned that HS2004...

Hi All I have an second hard drive that I use for video clips when doing editing. I added the second drive long after I had installed Sonar, and now I want to move my audio files there, too. I want to get my system closer to the ideal of "apps on one drive, raw files on the other" But I'm a...
