48k vs. 96k, can anyone notice a difference?

I'm considering purchasing an Apogee Rosetta A/D converter and need a sound card as well. My question is will any sound card (consumer) with compatiable digital connectors work as far as quality goes? Or do I need a more semi-pro card? I know that there are bit transfer limitations on cards...

I've thought for a while now that wouldn't it be more natural sounding to use onmis when close miking drums (even in live sound reinforcement) do to no proximity effect? I've heard people say that omnis actually give more directly so to speak do to the inverse square law (although I've not...

I'm looking for front-addressed, cardioid, mid or large sized diaphragm, condenser, instrument microphones; any recommendations?

I have quite a few microphones, but I still need 2-3 more in order to record an entire band with decent enough microphones at once. However, I don't have any outboard preamps and I know my tracks would sound a lot better with one. My question is should I focus on microphones or purchase a high...

I think that Oktava is a respectable microphone company and I know hundreds of thousands of people all over the world agree with me. Yet it still amazes me why non of the major recording magazines have not done any reviews on any of the models. Can anyone say why?

What do some of you use as far as graphic eqs and real-time analyzers for mastering; whether they be outboard or plug-ins?

Just an idea... I think some recording magazine au to come out with a Buyer's Guide of vintae gear.

Does anyone know the recent price of a used Tascam ES-50/51 for a Tascam TSR-8?

I own an ADAT-XT and a Tascam TSR8, and want to sync them up. I know the Alesis BRC will work, but I only need syncing capabilities. Another thing is that I also need it to sync with a computer at the same time for automation of those tracks via outboard VCAs. Does this mean I'll need two...

Does anyone have any experience with an Oktava VM100 Tube Microphone? I own a matched-pair of Oktava MC012 and am extremely happy with them. I'm even considering buying a matched-pair of those M1 heads for my MC012 to at least try-out. Also, I'm interested in hearing those Elation km902 tube...
