This unit has been in my home office/studio since purchase, in a smoke free environment. I'm no longer recording like I used to, so it is being sold off (yeah, more items to come). This EQ rocks, and if you google it you'll find it's much loved and highly regarded. It's on eBay at...

Can anyone who has experience with these two preamps give me an idea which might amplify an EV RE20 more effectively? This is for voice work only. I used to have a Mackie 1202VLZ but needed to crank the trim to near-max to get sufficient signal. Even then I had to use the output gain on other...

I ask the question because it seems that my 1202 VLZ Pro is the cause of a hum problem. Or the main contributor. I'm stumped as to how to fix this one. Here's the skinny: I hook up an EV RE20 mic via balanced XLR to the 1202. When I monitor the audio with AKG K240 headphones, I hear a low...

I'm looking into one of these two cards for a series of project studio recordings that friend is writing. He put some "demos" together and has asked me to pick up the project. He was working with a Mackie VLZ1202 Pro and the older Gina 20, but driver support for Win2K and later Win XP is beta...

Didn't want to crosspost my question and start mutliple threads, so if you know MIDI or this keyboard well, please look at my situation in MIDI Mania forum. thank you, kirkhere

Hi. I'd appreciate input from anyone who may have some ideas for me here. I have a P3-500 Win2K system with an SBLive Value card, the SB MIDI cable, and a Korg X5D synth. The drivers for the Synth, and any software I know of that talks to it, are all pretty old (1995-1997 vintage), although...

I recently upgraded to a more powerful computer, but my Gina card does not seem to like it. There is a noticeable high-pitched tone coming out of the active audio channels when I play back. I have not been able to get rid of it. If this is a motherboard/card issue, I'm stuck in a tough spot...

SOmeone recently replied to me to make sure I had "clean power" in my workroom (I've got some low-level hum I cannot locate). Can anyone give me an explanation of how to achieve it? Thanks, kirkhere

I'm helping a friend setup a small recording studio so he can produce narrative Bible stories (voice, sfx, and some music). He's already got his gear, as he had someone else working on this project for the past year. That guy's moving away, and my friend has been looking for someone to take...

I'm a video- and computer-literate shooter/editor, but I'm not a trained audio recordist. I'm helping out a friend produce a set of audio tapes of spoken material that has "that NPR" sound and presence (his words). What kind of equipment is necessary to set up a small studio for this kind of...
