    Styx "Come Sail Away" synth sound

    I know the original was done on an Oberheim SEM 4 Voice...which are REALLY expensive pieces of synth history. Has anyone had any experience trying to recreate that sound on something a little less expensive? The synth behind the second verse will always stand out in my mind as the first synth...

    ART DI/O preamp

    Anyone got any experience with this guy yet? It intrigues me because of the S/PDIF outs-I would LOVE to lower the noise floor in my signal chain, and S/PDIF out of the preamp would pull about 10-20 db out of the floor (based on some tests that other users of my front-end have done). I'm...

    Yamaha Sy-35 vs. Sy-55

    What are the major differences between these two boards? I know that a couple of the regulars here are pretty familiar with the SY series, so I thought I would ask here first... Thanks! Phil

    Yamaha EP-75 pad question

    Does the EP-75 have dual piezo triggers, or a trigger and a membrane switch (lile the PD-7, PD-9, etc.). I can't find much info on this pad anywhere on the web... Thanks!

    Stupid newbie question re: XP-10 vs SY-35

    Local Music-Go-Round has a Roland XP-10 for $249, and there's a Yamaha SY-35 in the newspaper for $179. I'm looking for a starter synth (I've already got a toy Casio) for recording in my basement (through a Seasound Solo into Vegas Video and Sound Forge) and occasionally playing at our church...

    Alesis DM-5 and Roland PD-7 problem-HELP!!!!

    I recently bought a set of electronic drums (the Hart Prodigy/Alesis DM-5 combo that MF is selling). I wanted a dual trigger snare for rim shots and snare, so I picked up a used PD-7 dual-trigger pad. I'm trying like hell to figure out how to activate the rim shot trigger in the DM-5. I know...

    Not good news re:Stephen Paul

    Per Robert Wall on the recording.org site, Stephen Paul is really sick. REALLY sick. His quote (and request) from the SP board on RO: "Pray for Stephen, folks. I mean really, really pray." I think we should probably do a little (or more) of the same over here. Alan-any idea what he's fighting?

    Mic pre opinions...(some models not discussed earlier)

    DMP3 or Symetrix SX202? ART TPS or something else? dbx Vocal Pro via S/PDIF? I'm looking for a preamp in the $200 range, as an upgrade to the mic pres in my Seasound Solo EX. Someone over on the Seasound board recommended the Symetrix. I think it was Chessrock that was chest-beating about the...

    Cans

    Kinda OT, I realize, and I apologize in advance if I piss off the "wrong board" police, but I figger you gotta be able to HEAR what you're putting into the microphones, so.... I'm going to pop for a new set of headphones. The ones I've got now sound NOTHING like my monitors (Tannoy's), and it's...

    Questions before we start recording...

    Need some advice before I start a new project in my basement studio...the one that we've only used for shits-and-giggles demos and karaoke voiceovers up to this point... I've been contacted by some members of my church and have been asked to produce a CD for submission to OCP, which is a...

    I'm on a roll!!!!!

    Yesterday, I snag a pair of Octava MK012's from GC...haven't even had a chance to get them out of the cases and play with them today when... My Studio Projects C-1 shows up... Suddenly, I'm a multi-mic owner. And the best part is... All of my new mics are better than my old mics. Life is...

    Acoustic guitar recording: Pair of SP B1's or Marshall 603's?

    I've got a sequential pair of ADK A-51's and an SP C-1 for LD condensers. I've got 2 SM57's enroute for cab and GP (general purpose) mics. I want to get a pair of something to record acoustic instruments, specifically acoustic guitars and various types of percussion. I'm OK with the ADK's on...

    While we're talking about mic preamps...

    ...does anyone have any experience with the Seasound Solo EX? In particular, the preamp section? I'm using a Solo, but would consider adding a medium priced preamp if it will make a significant difference. I'm currently using a sequential pair of ADK A-51's, and am planning on adding an SP C-1...

    Adk A-51?

    Anyone have any experience with this mic? Heard positive/negative things about it? Know anyone that has heard anything about it? I'm not finding much in the way of reviews, just stores selling them... Thanks!
