Hey guys -- just got a brand spankin' new Alienware notebook with 2GB RAM and a fast HD. What sound card would you recommend? Is the INDIGO any good? I like the idea that it disappears in the PCMCIA lot. I just need a basic setup coz I'm using my desktop for most audio recording; the laptop...

I consider switching from Logic 5.5.1 (Win XP) to Sonar 4. - Can Sonar be installed on a desktop AND laptop with one license? - Is it authorized by a USB key like Logic? Thanks!

hey guys -- I bought an ADM pre and an eq module a while ago, but never managed to get them to work. I have all the parts (pre module, eq module, bi-polar power supply, connectors, schematics, manuals, etc), but it seems I am too stupid to get it to work. Is anyone interested in racking the...

Hey guys -- I was thinking if I should get a 2-track tape recorder so I can bounce my final mixes from Logic through my Allen & Heath mixer onto tape, and then back into Logic to master it. I was hoping this might add some 'analog warmth' since I have the feeling my tracks suffer from digital...

Welcome to my 1000th post! I must have spent a heck a lot of time here, huh? Does that mean I have to act as if I'm a wise guy and only say profound things from now on? In any case, I wanted to thank you all guys for your amazing help over the past few years which made me learn and appreciate...

I'm looking for a piece of gear that would add some aggressive tube drive to my MOOG synth. What pice of gear below $500.- could get me there (pres/compressors/filters)? I can't get the sound I envision with distortion plugins. Thanks!

Sorry for this basic question, but I'm new to guitars and just got one. Can I plug a bass guitar straight into the mixer? What's up with this impedance matching? Can I damage the mixer by plugging it directy in? Thanks guys!

Where can I order good cables & connectors for cheap? I am thinking about rewiring my studio using Neutrik plugs and Canare Star Quad cables. Any idea where I can order them cheap? The only vendor I found was Markertek. Thank!

RME 9363 + Allen & Heath 16:2DX + Alesis AI3 ($1,800) vs Roland VM3100 ($300) Allen & Heath + RME + Converters VM3100 digital mixer Over the past few years I've used a Roland VM3100Pro 8-ch digital mixer with an RPC-1 sound card. The sound is actually pretty good, but I always felt that the...

My instruments & synths have 1/4' mono outputs, of course, and my mixer only has balanced TRS inputs. How do I hook them up? Are there special 1/4' unbalanced -> TRS balanced cables? Thanks!

hi -- I need a lightpipe cable to hookup an ADAT interface with an optical sound card. I saw that Guitar Center sells 9' Toslink cables for $39.99 each + tax -- and on Ebay a 12' "Digital Audio Optical TOSLink Cable" costs $2.95 plus s/h. The Ebay cables even have heavy 0.5mm gold-plated jacks...

Hey guys -- so I just got an Allen & Heath Mixwizard 16:2, an Alesis AI3 ADAT converter and an RME 9636 Lightpipe card. Since I never had an analog mixer before, how do I hookup the gear? Is this a good way: outboard sound sources -> mixer in mixer direct outs TRS -> ADAT interface TRS IN ADAT...

Hey guys -- so I made the plunge, sold my Roland VM3100Pro digital mixer and an RME 9636 Light ADAT card is on its way to me. Next decision: which digital mixer should I get? My spending limit is $800.- I thought about either a Yamaha 01V or the Behringer DDX3216 with ADAT cards. Both units...

I need to let go the following items to finance a high-end audio interface and wanted to give you a chance to grab the units before I put them on Ebay: o Neumann KM 184 + shock mount + mic clip + winscreen + original box + manual/schematics. The mic has hardly been used at all (maybe 6 hrs...

Hey guys -- I wanna improve the sound quality of my recordings by getting better interfaces. Right now I use a Roland VM3100Pro 8ch digital mixer/interface. So I was thinking, should I get a decent analog mixer with analog outs, a converter and a good quality sound card? What I had in mind was...

Hey guys -- I bought these 1980s vintage ADM pre + eq modules (ADM 2783 pre, 1540 eq modules) a while ago and finally racked them up, using a bipolar +/-24V power supply (see picture). It seems that the wiring is correct since all knobs and buttons are working (gain, phase reverse, equalisers...

Hey guys --- I've recently racked up two ADM 2783 Mic Pre & ADM 1540 modules, which are powered by a bi-polar 24V power supply. When I use my LDC mic (a Gefell M930 with a ROLLS phantom power supply), there's an audible hiss. The louder the signal is, the louder the hiss gets (especially at...
