remember to use the right polarity of your cable or the sound won't pass through and you'll get a thi out-of-phase sound ! Errrr... not ? :D :cool: :p Herwig

Rimshot: have you read Fletchers' 3 mic drum article ? I love using the rooms' sound and blending in the close microphones, but your room (and drummer) really have to be good ... (ain't this a subject beat to death or what) Herwig

I know there exist iso booths (a large 'U' upside down open at both side, padded with dampening material) in which a worker can easily make a phone call in a noisy hall, but that's the other way around from what you need. Maybe in the acoustics forum, John Sayers' forum or yahoogroups...

I don't know the low down forum, but do know the talkbass forum. Lot's of players there, lots of topics (even for double bass!) $5k for a pre seems very high even for me (and i consider myself a pro player, living of my playing) ... with all my respect, but i seem to have the impression that...

Man... you won't believe some of this stuff... And there's actually someone bidding on it !! Air Guitar (translation: you're bidding on a brand new, never used air guitar. It's tuned perfect and it'll never be out-of-tune, everybody can play like a pro- and it weighs nothing. Best of all...

Matrox G550 dualhead. (man, i want their new card ... dual DVI out for use with wide megaflatpanels... will cost €2,000 :eek: :eek: ) Herwig

Have you heard Groove Agent yet ? It's an ok drum pattern player with nice sounds, and the good thing is you can let it write down its midi part so you can replace the stock sounds with your own samples... Herwig

I second chessrock... Get a great source and it'll be easy to capture that source. Get a lousy source and it will be impossible to 'fix' it. I know the best sounding recording I've made was with a minidisc, a few cheap microphones and a small behringer mixer, but boy, were those great...

Wow, thanks, great post !! I've been reading both manuals (Cubase & Ghost's) to figure out how to control transport and the 4 midi faders from the Ghost to cubase, but I guess it comes down to trial & error. Luckily my setup is easier then yours, but it's great to hear that it actually works...

Yo Skippy.. I think we have similar setups: I've just bought a 32ch Ghost (picking it up next week) and a 16ch soundcard, and I would like to mix on the board with mute automation coming from Cubase... Could you explain how you hooked your board to the PC ? Is the ghost master or slave ? MTC ...

If you want to use eBay, use a sniping tool... people start bidding on items way to soon, so price rises real fast... be patient and closely watch ebay, you'll get lucky. Herwig

Lemmeknow!

C1000 ? B-1 ? ECM8000 ? :p Let us know...

I agree with Tex here ... just bouhgt a 2nd-hand Ghost 32 (€3000, with meterbridge, 3y old virtually unused, yesssss!) on eBay and I'm buying a second 8in/out sound card next week, with plans on getting a thrid one later this year. My ideal setup would be indeed gettting a deditcated 24 tracker...

I've seen a local live engineer do about the same thing this summer: attach an old speaker to a stand, solder an XLR on it and *tadaaa* instant bass/low/grumble/sub/sex vibes... The explanation would be that since the 'diaphragm' is that large it is able to capture the lowest frequencies.. mix...

yo monster - I'm a C-port user (<500$). I have one card and I'm in search for a second one. They are ok sound cards, not the world's greatest sound but very good in terms of price/quality. It does seem as if the M-port (+/- 1000$) is a slow seller, the C-port is much more popular as it seems...

Parametric EQ: 'true' equalizing: per available band you have three controls: a gain control (+/-), a frequency control and a 'Q' control. The gain controls how much you're gonna boost or cut the frequency you've chosen with the frequency control, and the 'Q' determines the bandwith of the...
