I am considering purchasing a dbx 166 compressor/limiter to put between a vs1880 and a startRec 400. Will this dbx do a better job at compressing limiting that the onboard effects of the 1880? Just looking for a little info. Thanks!

We are getting ready to wire a small little home studio and trying to figure out the best way to go from a wall jack in the recording room to the other wall jack in the recording console room. These are to be mic inputs. Is XLR female to XLR male the way to go? If we want to send keyboard...

I am trying to acquire a cdrw'er for my vs880ex that I have ordered. They offer a vscdr2 with the machine for about $600. Is there a Sony/HP/Yamaha cdrw'er that will connect to the Roland and do the same job? It seems this could be a cheaper way out. Again thanks to all you guys who help us out!

I am getting ready to purchase a vs880ex. They want to sell me a vscdr2 to burn CD's. Can I use an external HP cd Rewriter instead? Could save me about $200. Will it work? Thanks!

I am considering a purchase of a vscdr2 to write from a vs880ex. Can I use an internal HP CD Rewriter, if I use Zip Disks to transfer the data to the computer where the rewriter is? Will the HP CD Rewriter do the same as the vscdr2? Thanks!

Speaking of monitors...I have had better results mixing out of good quality regular stereo speakers compared to studio monitors. Is this weird? What is the appreciable difference anyway? Is mixing this way totally out of the question? Thanks.

I am about to purchase a vs880ex. We have had PA equipment for quite a few years and have eight Peavey CD20 mics. How do these record with the vs880ex? Will they give a decent recording? Trying to save dollars on new mics. Thanks.
