I recently got my Mbox2, and am running it on my iMac G5 (2GHz Power PC), with 1GB RAM. It seems to have trouble coping. In one session I have a stereo track running BFD virtual drums with 2 extra inserts, 4 guitar tracks with no inserts routed to an auxillary channel with 2 inserts to colour...

Just wondering if anybody has used any of AKGs CCS series of mics, namely the D22, D77 or D88 dynamic mics? They are cheap, so I don't expect too much out of them, but for the price are they any good?

I've got an MBox 2 on the way, and i'm hoping to find a well-priced Stereo/dual mono preamp or a mixer (with at least half-decent pres) with SPDIF outs, so I can use the MBox2's SPDIF in's along with the analogue ins. I don't really want to name a price range, because I don't know how much...

This is probably an embarassing newbie question, but is the Shure SM86 considered to be a large or small diaphragm condenser? I mean, obviously the diaphragm isn't as small as say an NT5, but is it as large as something in a typical LDC? Anyway, feel free to laugh, as long as you also respond...

I've got an MBox2 on order, and have just received my SM58 and SM86. I noticed that there isn't a separate phantom power switch for each preamp in the MBox2, so is it going to be a problem using both of these mics at the same time - i've heard that it's ok to send phantom power to a dynamic mic...

I know there is a general dislike for Behringer products, and probably with good reason, but I was wondering if their patchbays are decent? I mean, really how can you screw up a patchbay? Any opinions are appreciated.

I'll finally be able to put some money towards some recording gear soon. I'm thinking of getting a pair of Behringer Truth active monitors for my setup, as my budget is going to be fairly low. Since Behringer is generally not thought of as quality equipment, I was just wondering if their...

Hey, i'm looking for some suggestions for soundcards that have ADAT capabilities and 2 analogue ins/outs. Thanks.

Can the Roland GR33 and VG88 guitar synths be triggered by a MIDI keyboard? If anybody has tried this please tell me about your experience with it.

Ok, i've got a bunch of questions here: Does the Roland SI-24 have inserts? The site says it comes with Logic - does Logic have an option for using I/O as inserts? What are the preamps like? Does the SI-24 support other multi-tracking software? Is Logic good for recording and editing audio, or...

Soon i'll be going to college to do a course in Audio Engineering, and i'm hoping to get a job in a recording studio. I'm just wondering, how many of you guys make a living out of recording, or anything to do with music/audio? And does anybody here make a living out of recording people in their...

I've been thinking of getting the Tech21 PSA1 preamp and a power amp, instead of a head. Do you have to get a power amp made for guitar setups, or will a normal PA power amp do? I'm looking for around 200w-300w. Would the Alesis RA300 be a good choice? Does anybody know how much these are...

In my last post I forgot to ask how much the Mesa Single Rectifier heads are as well. Anybody know?

Does anybody know how much the Dual and Triple Rectifier heads cost? I can't find prices anywhere on the net.

After talking with Black Apple i've been considering getting an ADAT setup. Although as far as I know an ADAT is only 8 tracks, which I don't think will be enough for me, my band, and other bands which I hope to record. I had the idea of getting the ADAT studio pack, then getting another LX20...

I've got so many questions to ask that it would probably be easier in chat.

I'm trying to decide between these setups: 1. Computer, soundcard (at least 4 I/O), cubasis vst (also using mastering section for mastering), + mics, etc... 2. Alesis HD-24, mixer, alesis masterlink for mastering + mics, etc... 3. Roland VS-2480, alesis masterlink + the rest.... I want to...

I posted this in the alesis forum as well, but thought it might get a better response here. I'm planning a studio at the moment, and i've been leaning towards a computer setup, but this morning I found the Alesis HD24, and I noticed it's cheaper than other Hard Disk recording units. In general...

I'm planning a studio at the moment, and i've been leaning towards a computer setup, but this morning I found the Alesis HD24, and I noticed it's cheaper than other Hard Disk recording units. In general, is Hard disk recording better quality, easier to use and possibly cheaper? Does the Alesis...

Does anybody know what sort of guitars the guys from Rammstein use? Also what amps/gear do they use? Or could you give me a link to a site with all this information? I saw them live a couple of days ago and they were awesome!! And now I want their guitars. Thanks.
