Hi. I've just been offered an ex-demo D & R preamp for 150 euros but don't know anything about them? I read in the recent thread about the Grace 101 that it's decent but am not sure how it would compare to my DMP3 and Tampa :confused: Is the D & R preamp a step up from my DMP3 and Tampa? Would...

Hi. I just bought a M-Audio Tampa 2nd hand and have just tried it out. I really like it's sound on vocals so far! One thing I did notice is the output meter hardly moves :confused: I have an M-Audio DMP3 already and the meters on this appear to be much more sensitive? I had the Tampa working...

Hi. I'm looking to expand my mic collection with a ribbon mic - Cascade Fathead, and dynamic mic - Shure and possibly another LDC. Will the Tampa and DMP3 have enough gain for a ribbon mic or should I sell the Tampa and get an ART MPA Gold which has more gain? I will be using the pre and mics...

Hi. Has anyone seen or tried this new tuner plugin? It looks as though it's based on the Melodyne idea!? http://www.globalmindmap.org/xytral/index_vvox_e.htm There's also GSnap which has been around a while which I've been getting good results with. http://www.gvst.co.uk/gsnap.htm

Hi are there any good darker/warmer toned mics out there under $200? I already have a Rode NT1a and Studio Projects B1 which are nice mics but on certain vocals they can sound slightly harsh and piercing. Are there any darker sounding LDC's in this price bracket? I've heard people say the...

Hi. I recently won a M Audio Tampa on ebay but haven't heard from the seller for a couple of days :confused: I'm slightly concerned that this deal may not materialize so am gonna give it till this evening and if I haven't heard from the seller I'll cancel my payment. Since I won the Tampa I've...

Hi. I just got a great ebay deal on an M-Audio Tampa and am wondering what the difference would be between using the digital out or the line out? Which would be the best quality for recording vocals?

Hi. Can anyone tell me about this pre? Is it basically 2 Rane MS-1b's + eq in a rack? Does the DMS 22 sound the same as a MS-1b or is one better than the other? I'd really appreciate your info on this pre. Thanks

Has anyone seen this yet!? I just downloaded the Tascam CV Piano and it sounds great! It's along the lines of Truepianos and Pianoteq but I prefer it to the True Pianos demo! Best of all is it's completely free! Not a demo or trial but the complete VSTi! You can download it here towards the...

Hi. This is not another thread about which is the better preamp. I'm looking to buy a simple compressor to smooth out vocal spikes when tracking. I'm wondering if the compressor on the 3Q would be a choice to use with the DMP3? Also it will be a bonus to have another flavour pre for my setup. If...

Hi. I'm totally new to using IR reverbs and would like your opinions as to which is the best freeware IR reverb. I'm mostly concerned about audio quality and CPU. Which would you recommend as the best in these respects?

I'm thinking of trying to mod my VTB1 by replacing the Opamp. It currently has a 4580 Opamp and am thinking of replacing it with a OPA 2134 or Burr Brown INA163. Which would you recommend as being the best Opamp for upgrading from the 4580 and is there anything else worth replacing on it?

Hi. I've just been given an recording that was transfered from an old tape recording and transfered onto CD. I have been asked to see if I can improve the quality of the recording if possible and am wondering if there is a free plugin that can get rid of the tape hiss? I'm then going to add some...

Hi. I'm looking for a smaller mixer than my Soundcraft M8 becuase I'm moving into a smaller room. I use the mixer as a master controller for my monitors, setting up headphone mixes for realtime zero latency monitoring and occassionally use the micpres for recording. I will only need around 4...

Hi. I'm looking for a mic pre for my studio to record vocals. I have read good things about the DMP3 and Rane MS-1b but haven't heard much about the SPL Goldmike. I have used the Goldmike in the past but not enough to remember how it compared to my VTB1 and have the option of getting one...

Hi. Is it possible to setup different headphone mixes within Cubase SX3? I do a lot of tracking with singers, drummers etc and they all want to hear different mixes. If I was tracking with a singer, how would I give her more vocals in her headphones or a drummer more kick? I have a Behringer...

version of BFD and XFL expansion aswell as EzDrummer. I would like a basic kit that is capable of triggering these sounds. I would like to have at least a dual zone snare ( I don't know if there are any budget kits or triggers that can do snare, rimshot and cross stick like the TD20) and a dual...
