I'm currently putting the gear together for doing live recordings. Most of which will take place in a small pub (great sounding room). The other venue we may be recording in is a small great sounding theater(High celings, well designed for sound, tuneable via moving sceanery/drapes). I've got...

I'm looking to pickup some better preamps, right now I just have my old behringer POS mixer. I'm looking to pickup 6 channels and spend around $600 tops. I've been looking at maybe getting 3 DMP3 that would be my budget there. Or I was also thinking of getting 2 cheap audio buddys and getting...

I currently have a delta 44 and I'm considering buying a delta 1010 for a total of 12 inputs which would give me enough todo live recording. I've read somewhere that multiable delta cards dosn't work in 2k/xp, have they fixed this problem? I would hate to have to go back to 98SE, the memory...

Is there anyway to import data burned from a VS-1880 into a PC? My friends 1880's harddrive started to run into problems and he had to send it away for repairs in the mean time we would like to continue recording with my PC and we are woundering if we can get the drum tracks we have on CD in...

My boss has a few old MD-421's and an old RE-20 that he bought from an old studio that closed in around 1980. They have been used for live audio over the past 20 years and have a fair bit of ware and tear. I'm borrowing them this weekend to give them a try to see if there is any life left to...

How much cpu, ram, HD speed dose it take to record and then playback 32 tracks at a time at 24bit and 96khz with no effects or processing? Mackie seems to be able to do 24 tracks on a 433 celeron with 64 megs of ram with their MDR2496.
