What are the major differences between the DBX 166XL compressor/limiter/gate and the DBX 1066 compressor/limiter/gate besides the cost and the "automatic" setting on the 1066? I have read over the specs, but because I don't know diddly squat about these types of devices (compressors, limitiers...

My ears (which are still in training) are at the point of complete fatigue dealing with this mix. I would appreciate any/all constructive feedback to help me figure out if I'm one the right track (pun intended) on this tune or not. :rolleyes: Besides the production elements, please let me know...

Ahhhhhhhhh........ Basking in the glory of the Sytek. :D -mr moon

Hi. I'm looking for a 2-channel preamp to complement my Groove Tubes "The Brick" and my Safe Sound Audio P1 preamps. I am looking to use this new preamp mainly for drum overheads, acoustic guitars (6 & 12 string), electric guitar cabs, and perhaps some other instruments ...but not so much for...

What format do most mastering houses request when having folks send tunes in to be mastered? 1. As multiple-track project files (Sonar4, etc.) with mixing in place and no effects applied at all (i.e. delay on guitars solos, etc.)? Or, 2. as 2-track (stereo) mixed tracks with all effects, etc...

Sorry, but this is the only single forum which addresses all the issues that we're currently experiencing with live shows. Here we go: We have a drummer who sings well and has begun singing lead vocals in several songs and harmonies in most of the songs we perform. He is an excellent power...

Does anyone know what the stock pickups were for a 1992 Gibson Les Paul Studio? My guess whould be the 490(neck)/498(bridge) combo (as are being used on the current 1990's re-issue Studios as offered by americanmusical.com), but I can't find any printed specs to proove this. I've searched for...

If you like heavier melodic rock like Alice in Chains, Sabbath, and Tool (and even if you don't!), please check out our latest tune titled "Come Clean" and let me know what you think. Warning: The intro is kinda long and the lyrical content is rather sinister and dark, but not graphic in nature...

Since Aardvark apparently has gone the way of the Dodo, I will have to purchase a new soundcard at some point in time, as my Direct Pro 2496 will (most likely) no longer have any driver support and such. Currently, the Aardvark cards do not support the newer Athlon 64-bit chipsets, which I will...

Hi. Has anyone around here had their Marshall DSL100's Modded by Voodoo? I have been reading their website and some info posted on a few forums, and I'm kinda interested. It's not so much that my Marshall sounds like crap for live, but when I record the higher gain channels get all buzzy, even...

I have not posted any new tunes for a while, due to the usual game of "band-member musical chairs" that most musicians have had to deal with at one point or another. Anywho, I have now connected with a couple of friends from a past collaboration and we have decided to go ahead and reform under...

Hi. I will soon be upgrading monitors from my Alesis M1 MkII's to something with an 8" driver and in the $500.00-$700.00 (per pair) price range. I will be using them to mix (and quickie-master) songs which will mostly range from acoustic guitar type stuff to guitar-based hard rock, there will...

Background: I have been using my Alesis M1 MkII's for the last year and a half, but now my ears have gotten to the point that I can tell that they sound "too nice" for mixing. I know some folks who may be interested in purchasing them from me, and I may take the opportunity to upgrade to a...

A bud of mine is suggesting that I try a Beyer m69 to mic my guitar cabs. I have heard some of the tunes off one of his released CD's which he used the m69's to mic his cabs, and the guitar tone is to die for, sounding just like his cabs do when you're standing in the room! He used to use 57's...

Hi. I'm looking to buy a reasonably priced (new or used) Aardvark Direct Pro LX6 to add to my audio recording system. I already have a DP 2496 and I just need 4 more inputs without preamps. If someone has an Aard DP 2496 they'd like to get rid of at a reasonable price, I may consider that too...

I hope someone will find this helpful: After testing the EBTECH HumX on my recording setup, it appears to have *completely* cleared up the ground loop problem I was experiencing! My "El Cheapo Supremo" Furman Rack-Rider power "conditioner" is plugged into the HumX (which is plugged directly...

I have read a few posts from folks who either purchased the Safe Sound Audio P1 preamp, or who were planning on it. I am wondering if any of the folk who have purchased one of the P1's (or borrowed one) has worked with it enough to share their thoughts about it. I have read some reviews of it...

Hi. I have a quick question or two about a friend's Tascam M-520, as I now record mainly in the digital world and we hope to tie his analog gear to my digital gear to make beautiful music together, so to speak.... Anywho, "The" question(s): ...Does the M-520 have mic preamps? I know that the...

I have searched and searched the posts on the forums here regarding the Athlon64, and I am very tempted to make a purchase in the near future. My only concern is that I contacted Aardvark tech support to get a recommendation for an Athlon64 chipset and/or motherboard setup that will be...

I don't know if I got this link from one of the threads here or elsewhere, but the following sites have what seems to be an excellent collection of mic and mic/preamp comparisons. Mic tests Mic & Preamp blind tests Again, I apologize if this info has been posted elsewhere on the BBS at...
