Hi y'all, (this is mainly an ad for European viewers, but I'm happy to ship to any nation worldwide) I've just bought a standalone 24track recorder so I'm dumping my previous audio solution: 3x ST Audio DSP2000: DSP24 soundcard with ADC/DAC 2000 breakout-box. The card has a special audio...

Hi y'all, New to this part of the forum, and to the HD24... Just bought one on eBay (€1,000 ~= $1150) and anxiously awaiting it's arrival.. In the meantime: 1) Are there firmware versions to stay clear of that anyone knows or is it ok just to get the 1.17 in there ? 2) I have a laptop and am...

Hi guys I have a little ergonomic problem in my working room right now... I've bought a medium-sized mixing board that takes about all of the place I have on my 2.10m by 90cm desk. I still have some space left at the left side for the mouse (I'm a lefty) and I 'could' put the keyboard at the...

Hi, A friend of me offered me a great deal on a pair of Neumann KM184's .. matched pair, in a box with windscreens and everything. These cost like €800 a piece over here and he could get them for €795 + 21% VAT (which I can tax deduct, 'coz they're business costs for me :cool: ) Can I justify...

Man... you won't believe some of this stuff... And there's actually someone bidding on it !! Air Guitar (translation: you're bidding on a brand new, never used air guitar. It's tuned perfect and it'll never be out-of-tune, everybody can play like a pro- and it weighs nothing. Best of all...

Hi y'all, I'm having this problem assembling a new PC for a friend. It's about identical to my setup with a few minor changes: Asus A7N8X-X motherboard, AMD Athlon XP2,600+ (333FSB) cpu Infineon 512Mb (I have two of these, he has one) WD 80Gb harddisk (diff in mine) Samsung 48/24/48 CD-RW some...

Hi y'all, would anyone know of a site that explains the basics of airflow (as in A/C, ducting,...) in plain dummy-english ? I've googled around but to no avail ... I'm rethinking my PC's iso box and I'd like better airflow management in it and I'd like some background information so that I...

(this subject came out of the BUILDING A NEW DAW: What to buy and better yet, what questions to ask? thread, but i decided to give it it's own place) Here's some pictures of my homemade pc ISO box. It's made out of - 9mm (1/3") MDF. It was a 120x240mm (4'x8') sheet, cut for me at the home...

Hi guys, I was wondering... Can I measure my instruments' impedance just by hooking a multimeter to tip and sleeve from the output jack ?? Wait a minute ... why don't I try this ? :p :D :cool: Musicman active bass: 15.7kOhm... would this be a normal value ?? Wait again... with all controls...

:( :( :( :( :( check out today's harmony-central... Fender bought SWR sound ... sad sad sad sad... they will start producing amps in Mexico and Cal.... sad sad sad. Herwig

Hi y'all, I have these question regarding resistance in audio for a long time... maybe there's someone out there that could explain a few things to me ?? 1) mic's, mic-level, line-level, Hi-Z, Lo-Z.... Mic and line inputs expect a low resistance, right ? And instruments (bass, guitar) provide...

Hi all, Yesterday while driving I had this idea... would it be possible to do some kind of re-amping like guitars, but with microhpone signals ? This could be a cool feature when eg. doing a live recording: you record a band with a set of clean preamps and add 'colo(u)r' later ... Off course...

Hi y'all, Just spent an hour listening closely to sessions 1, 3 and 5 from TLS.com.. Very interesting !! Differences between mics are easy to hear, but I have trouble hearing a diff between the preamps.. Is it me or is that waaaaay harder to hear ? For example session 3 has different pre's on...

Hi all, I currently have a cheap KVM switch to share the 19" CRT between the office and DAW computers (included picture below, 15€ + for about 10€ cables). Very handy, but it puts a 'shadow' on my image... The 'A' computer has it more than the other, but it's really getting on my nerves... I...

I know these are not really for the homerecording market, but maybe there's someone out there that saw/used one of these babies ? I'm wondering if having toobs in your preamps, Mix B pre's, Buss outputs, master outputs and Mix B outputs isn't a wee bit too much 'warmth'... At €30,000 for a 32...
