So me and the woman went out last night to a local bar - fairly nice place, generally has live blues on Wednesday. Cool. However, when we got there, we find there is some classic rock yahoo who is going to be "spinning some tunes" and annoying us with fancy DJ patter instead. Fine, we'll play...

Isn't that what you're doing? And wait - so am I. Geez, pathetic, I know. But damn, I want to hit the 'custom avatar' level. This dilbert dude sux.

Dear God. That is a nasty article. Probably true, though.

I've been using 10,000rpm drives for quite a few years. Of course, that's in bigass database systems (try half a terrabyte of storage) but they've been around for quite a while. They cook - both in speed, temperature and noise. They are hot, whiny, but fast as greased goose shit. I would...

Heh. Well, I do have some updates, but just for the bedroom studio - it now has more gear and I might actually add a scary picture of myself. The basement studio is still a maybe at this point - it depends on whether we're going to fix up this house then sell it, or fix up this house then...

Will do, Carter. I'm working on getting the Delta 66 up and after that I'll get everything wired. I'll let you know how it works...

What's the SMALLEST control room that it is practical to have monitors in? Right now, I've got a one room studio - no seperate control room. However, it may get to the point where I'll get up the energy to finish the basement - which isn't THAT big either (after the workshop, furnace...

OK, great. I think I'll give that a shot and see if I can hear the difference - if I can't hear the difference (or if I can live with the differnce) between channels 5/6 and 7/8 then I am fine for now. I'm not keen on getting into the normalled and half-normally setup stuff with the patch...

Ok, here's what I have : * n-track recording software * 2 x Yorkville YSM-1 studio nearfield monitors * Yorkville CR-5 "utility" amp - nice match to the YSM-1s in my opinion * Yamaha PSR-740 - L/R output, used for piano sounds, plus some auto-accomp (more for jamming then recording, but some...

I use and love the Yorkvilles as well. Sweet sounding monitors.

I just got a pair of Yorkville's and am in LOOOOOOVE. They are GORGEOUS sounding - I hear stuff in songs that I've played millions of times that I never quite got before. Beautiful stuff. I A/B'd them against Tannoy Reveals (passive) and Event-PS6's, but they gave me the best bang for the...

Ok, I can't believe I just sat through this whole thread. I had been avoiding it, but I just read it all in one sitting and - YIKES. I got a few funny looks because of stamping my feet in an effort not to scream (being at work and all) The bottom line is - digital is digital. Once it is off...

A guy who runs a studio in town uses it and likes it. I've never used it myself, but I've got a CD done by him using it and it sounds pretty damn good. That's not a "buy it now" but it may be worth taking a listen to....

The Feb Sound on Sound has a review of a PCMCIA (ie, laptop) multi-io cards and an article on using a laptop for soundtracking - they're saying it is pretty feasible. <hunt, hunt, hunt, hunt> Anyways, the laptop they are recommended is from Red Submarine ( www.sub.co.uk ) and the PCMCIA card...

Looks cool! Anyone have any idea how this thing sounds?

Ok, I've had some reasonable success with the SM-58 as a trumpet mic, but there's a little problem. When the trumpet player is playing, she REALLY plays - she doesn't sit still and aim that trumpet at the mic. I can get her to do so, but it sort of stiffles the sound. Now, electric guitar...

Will do! Thanks.

Cool, Bruce. I was trying not to sound whiny since I really appreciate all the time you and others spend on here steering us right. :) Thanks very much I'll be taking a listen to them in less then a week and try to a-b them against Events and so forth. An advantage for me of buying Yorkville...

Well, like a good little boy, I snapped to and ordered the book. Now I just have to patient. Yuck.

Bruce, I posted this in another thread, but I didn't get a response, so I'm asking here in a shameless attempt to get one... You like the Yorkville YSM-1's, right? Do you like the Yorkville amps? Specifically, their SR-300 Studio Reference Amp which Yorkville says is their best match for the...
