    hard-drive for FD-8??

    I'm trying to figure out what brand/type hard drive for an old Fostex FD-8 is best, since the one in it is extinct. Is it important that I get one with the same RPM rating? What else would be important? Any suggestions? Thanks

    Suggested distance from mic- vocals

    I have a Rode NT1A, and an AT 4033. What would the optimal distance from the mic be, to do vocals. Vocalist style would be "average" to "soft." I would ASSUME the further away, the less need for compression. But obvioulsy, I want the best signal/noise ratio. Thoughts? Thanks.

    Just kidding, kinda- For under $500, what's the best mic for vocals and acoustic guitar. Please don't ask me to go to archives. I love you too. PEACE

    Ever a reason to use 3-pin out?

    Since pre-amps provide a 1/4 inch, and a 3-pin connection out, is there ever a reason to use the 3-pin? I thought common knowledge says "use only the 1/4 inch out." titan

    Attack/Release on Bass compression

    I read some archives, and got some good info. But, I'd like to try to get some specific thoughts. I'm short on gear, and I like to compress "to tape." I'm looking for a typical "warm, unobtrusive" bass tone. Specifically, how do some of you set your attack and release for this kind of bass? And...

    Salesman said BlueMax Smart ain't bad

    I ordered an M-Audio dmp-3 today. I would love to have an RNC too. I have the BlueMax Smart compressor. I asked the sales guy if he thought it would be worth going without food for two weeks, to get a RNC. I was "pleased" that he didn't immediately try to sell me on the RNC. He said he had one...

    What are the chances?

    Since the only pre-amp I have is a TUBE MP, I've been laying some drum overdubs with it. After about 2 hours, the darn thing quit giving me a signal. I assume I've blown the tube. Question: would the drums cause this? Thanks, titan

    No success linking 2 FD-8's

    I set one to Master, run the midi cable "out" to the "in" of the slave machine. When I hit "play" on the master machine, the slave machine doesn't start. Any help out there? Titanship

    Overdubbing live drums - after drum machine

    I'm wanting to overdub snare on some tunes. I want to use (keep) the kick from the original drum machine patterns. Actually, I'll be overdubbing toms and cymbals too. I'll probably do snare/toms together, then come back with cymbals. I've tried this before and gave up because my timing sucked...
