Hi, Has anyone here tried one of these Shuttle mini-PCs like e.g. this one? I think they would make a great portable rig as well as a studio DAW, as they are not crippled in the same sense as laptops when it comes to performance and the precense of a PCI slot for your pro(sumer) soundcard...

How much of an downwards angle can your monitor have before you get side-effects? Can the monitors be mounted high and pointed 45 degrees down at the listening position? Construction tips state that monitors should be angled downwards if they are mounted higher than the listening position but...

Anyone tried them? They're cheap and have big cash but can they be trusted? I know it's a bit early to speak about their long-term performance but if anyone had one fail already, I'd love to know before I order one. /Ola

How important is it that the monitors point directly at your mixing position? In my latest drawing (see below), the monitors point "behind" the mixing position and I think I've seen a similar "mixing triangle" in one of John's studio plans. Should I try to move the monitors closer together to...

Anyone heard of these? It's one of those "much more expensive with a different name" brands, like 797 Audio, but has anyone ever heard of Pro.2 before?

Beware...

Now it's kind of my turn. The top floor of our house is an insulated attic, which now will be converted to several rooms. Attached is an idea for construction. None of the inner walls are built and the only real limits are the chimeny and the stairs. The bathroom is not built but my girlfriend...

Just hype to ride the WinXP wave (shudder) or worth investigating?

Well? Rocks or sucks? Some real DAW experiences would be nice. Thanks /Ola

I ran into the sam problem with my new computer and wondered if you still have that problem. I was thinking that it was an IRQ conflict but my crap mobo won't let me assign a unique IRQ to my soundcard. And N-Track crashes after five minutes, both in 98 and 2000 This is what happens if you...

Where can I find schematics for good, transparent, mic preamps? I'm looking for plain preamps with balanced ins, phantom power and phase shift. I tried searching ye olde web but I get so many and vague results and would like to get some pointers from people here who are also interested in the...

Check it out at http://www.angelfire.com/al3/studio/index.htm If you're not impressed by this control room window, then...well..., then you're not easily impressed. Cheers /Ola

Has anyone any experience with the DBX386 or the Mindprint AN/DI PRO. Any opinions on the preamps and A/D? Thanks /Ola

Here we are, talking about how to ensure data integrity and how to avoid HDD crashs and then some guy comes around and does this. http://www.bp6.com/pics/holodeck2/reviews/hd%20mod/hd.htm I especially like his way to make a "clean room" at home... /Ola

So, what's the verdict? Is it dead or still the best DAW option? The CUBX-E looks pretty neat but is it worth getting the last(?) BX board on the market? Emeric posted some problems with the CUBX large image files but I never saw any final word on audio. How is the i815 chip doing? Please post...
