So I am going to rip out the DVD re-writer in my i7 820qm that I rarely use and replace it with a hard disk. Currently I have a 500gb 7200rpm drive that I am going to replace with a hybrid drive. I have about 90gb free, and if I move all the files I think are "moveable" I will still only...

I'm running a PC, athlon 4200x2 with 2 gig of ram. I use a LOT of plugins which my digi001 was able to handle fine, but I notice that I can only push the buffer on the fireface up to 1024, instead of 2048. 2048 is available for the mac but RME said it doesn't really perform any better. I am...

Currently I have a digi001 and a super massive teac/tascam m15 (24 track 70's desk - this one used to belong to Phil Collins apparently)... The desk is ridiculous and is far too complicated for me to use... What I thought I was after was a 16 track desk (nice pre's), with 8 of those outputs...

I am still trying to buy/sell mics in the UK to slowly pay for my project studio. I have the walls above my head now :) Anyway, if anyone is offloading common mics, please let me know, as I would love to take them off your hands for the right price. email james@shutupandshave.com or pm me...

That's right, my left nut for a 20 metre by 15 metre space on which I can build a recording studio/rehearsel room. Must be in the M4 Corridor (prefereably near Swindon) UK. Thanks. Ownership of the land must be mine.

I've not been able to access it for 2 days. www.johnlsayers.com right?

Please let me know if you have these and are willing to post to the UK. I have a 75 ebay rating (100%) and would be paying via paypal. I am looking to take as many of these off people's hands as they have.

I am in the market for some. I live in the UK, but am willing to pay shipping costs from anywhere. I can pay paypal. Please give me prices INCLUDING shipping (you may be surprised what I accept), and I will be sure to get back to you. james@shutupandshave.com

I've read a little about this, and it looks amazing. Basically it's a 16 in version of the digidesign|HD system. http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--EMU1820M

I was writing something earlier, and was talking about how I write, and it clarified a couple of things for me... I tend to only write something when I am in "the zone", I dont know what that is, but having done a few things (running, discus, gaming (oddly, I did well at this)) too quite a high...

I've just purchased this desk... It's a very old desk (1978) and weighs a tonne (well about a 7th of one), but I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with it... From what I could gather by searching around, a few studio's have these installed, and they're worth about $1500 second-hand...

I've not seen a lot of discussion on the Beta 57a here...I am wondering if anyone has tried it in the role of the SM57 and how they found it. I have 3 or 4 of each, and I dont know whether to get rid of all my 57's, all my beta's or to just leave myself a couple of each.

Currently I have an Alessis Studio 32, and I am thinking about upgrading (in quality more than inputs), and I was wondering what I should upgrade to. I am using all 16 direct outs, and can see myself needing to record about 12 tracks simultaneously. 8 of my desk outs are currently going into...

I know nothing about ribbon mics (and mics in general). When would I use a ribbon mic in recording a live band?

I am after some overheads and acoustic mics, with about $400 to spend. I have a gt-66, and a samson c01 at the moment. These are the choices I am looking at. AKG 451 Studio Projects C4 MXL 603 Rode NT5 Rode NT3 CAD M179 I dont understand the difference between the nt3 and the nt5, can anyone...
