A friend and I compared my MK4 to his TLM103 on a guitar solo (via USBPre 2 / Toshiba Satellite Pro / Sony Sound Forge Audio Studio 10 @ 24/48 normalized only). My brother-in-law worked in pro audio and in his opinion there wasn't $800 worth of difference. In all honesty there wasn't $.08 worth...

Helping a friend to kick off a podcast. The wisdom of this is debatable but regardless it's going to consist of a remote talent using a Plantronics headset into a POTS line which will in turn route (via POTS) into a JK Audio Broadcast Host digital hybrid. The local talent will be using...

The whole purpose of a preamp is to kick a -40db mic level up to 0db line level, and I didn't appreciate why Sound Devices would provide the option to cut the preamp functionality of the USBPre 2 out of the signal chain by providing the option to output -40db. Any guesses? It allows you to...

There are other threads on this topic but I wanted to see if we could get some feedback from other members. I'm not pretending that this is going to be accurate or scientific but hopefully it will be interesting. With no microphone attached, your recording app running, and the gain on your pre...

I was asked to provide a review of my new USBPre 2 soundcard / Sennheiser MK4 setup. This is the first post, more to follow. The USBPre 2 requires 5v DC via USB to operate. I open with this little factoid because it's central to the USBPre 2's dual functionality and that dual functionality is...

Is there any way knowing when a piece of gear is being discontinued, or perhaps when during the calendar year gear pimps tend to discontinue older products? Is CES and/or NAMM a death knell for existing products?

Buying the Sound Devices USBPre 2 tomorrow. Was listening to daughter #6 sing one of her compositions in the van and decided that I need to start capturing her efforts regardless of where we're at. Too much good stuff is going by the wayside IMO.

Sony Sound Forge Audio Studio 10? Other then a boatload of money I mean. I used Sound Forge extensively five or so years ago and loved it but I just couldn't justify $300 for a copy of the latest and greatest and decided to just live with whatever constraints existed in Sound Forge Audio...

In another thread Kcearl recommended Sony Vegas Movie Studio for music videos, and lo and behold I find that NewEgg is (was) offering Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum Suite 11 for only $39.99 after rebate (since expired). So I figure what the heck and I pull the trigger though at the time I...

Mackie has their Onyx pres, Presonus has their XMAX pres, Roland has their VS pres... it seems as if everyone is boasting about their new, better, transparent preamps. Are they seriously getting better or is this just gear pimp marketing?

Most of these work on Macintosh and many with Windows too and they're all free. Not too sure why Reaper gets all of the buzz because some of these look fantastic.

... are not advised for use indoors. And that's fine, but I need some clarification on something. I understand that a shotgun mic does not handle sound reflection well... which is why they are usually not suitable indoors. But the interference tube (which works so well outdoors and so poorly...

Okay, that's a modest exaggeration. But I will build you a custom DAW to your specifications at my cost as long as you let me toss in my M-Audio 1010LT for the A/D/A interface for only $135. I am a custom computer builder with well over twenty years of experience in building workstations. I...
