I would never call the 81 a "flat" mic. That mic has a bump in the highs like you wouldn't believe. Shure may think it's flat, and their graph on their site may say it is, but it definitely has a weird boost up top. I would say buy another Neumann, the 81 can't compete, and I will second...

Although you said you aren't looking for digital gear, I would still like to suggest a set of high quality converters and a word clock. This will improve the overall sound of the 002 more than you can imagine. I would say get a 2 channel converter from a company like Apogee, Lucid, Mytek...

Wes - Too say that a statement about a piece of gear you obviously know nothing about it "bullshit" is pretty funny. Like it's been said, there are 8 analog I/Os and 10 Digital (8 ADAT and 2 SPDIF), and as far as converters go, the Aardvark stuff can't compare to the standalone units you could...

RACK! Not that I'm a gear snob... I just feel like the human element is taken out of music when you start doing "data entry" for your effects. But I also don't use too many high end reverbs, I've had a 480 in front of me lots of times, and more recently some 960s and TC 6000s, but I must say...

Rimshot - Yeah those techno guys LOVE the glitter, but just to be fair you should toss up a strobe light and hand out some glow sticks :) I've been looking for a brown "lamp", I feel that it's the true color of funk! Later, musik

Tex - Real men do use DAWs, we just don't track to them or mix in them. But I must say, the day I was able to put down the razor and edit on the fly in Pro Tools was the day I was able to help my clients take their music to the next level. Talk about a time saver!!!!!!! :) Later, musik

I'll just name some players, I can't ever pick a favorite: Charles Mingus Rick Laird (Mahavishnu Orchestra) Reid Anderson (The Bad Plus) Jaco And whoever played bass on Cecil Taylor's "Unit Structure" - Good lord that dude can play... Later, Musik I almost forgot, I can't remember his name...

"It doesn't matter that I'm not anywhere near pro in either video or sound!" Jee Chris thanks for telling me I'm not a pro, I've been wondering for so long... I was just wondering how you came across this wonderful information? This is so enlightening... Later, musik

Nathan - he's using an 001, so 192 isn't even an option... i haven't had any experience with the lynx stuff, never had the chance, but as far as high end conversion goes, i'm guessing it isn't up to par with lavry, apogee, benchmark or mytek? although like i said, i haven't used it. Later, musik

therage!, What is your deal, did daddy not love you? What in the world are you screaming and crying about, if it's one thing I see too much on this board, it's just that, a bunch of pussies who can't believe that someone would question their authority. I've never seen such a baby! Who cares if...

Outlaws, What do you mean "if you need more than 30 tracks"??? I've had a need for 100+ tracks before... so I guess I have no clue what you're talking about! Later, musik

You'll have to give me more proof, other than words, that you had a session with 90 tracks running without DSP on a 1.2Gig machine with 256meg of ram. Not only that, but the fact that Windows is unstable is yet another reason to buy a Mac. Yes they are based on the same cernal but the Mac OS is...

Tex - "I'd have to disagree with that. The money is better off invested in gear than some bs recording school." How many Grammies do you have Tex? How many times have you mixed on an SSL? How many engineers do you know that make over 100K a year? Just wondering... Later, musik

I'm going to have to disagree that a PC can perform like a Mac. I have used both systems and without a doubt if I have a choice I'll pick a Mac without thinking. Yeah your PC can play back 24 tracks... how about 90?! A Mac/PT system can. So if you are recording at home, yes a PC is enough, but...

Oh yeah, check out The Hangar Studios in Sacremento. John from Tape Op owns it, I don't know if he rents gear either, but its worth a try. www.tapeop.com/john Later, musik

I don't know of a place in SF but try Dream Hire, they ship all over the US. Although I think you have to rent for 4 days if you aren't in Nashville or NY. Also in SF, there is a new studio called San Francisco Sound Works, I don't know if they rent gear, but I know they want to try and start a...

What does the 1202 have as far as I/O on each channel. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have dedicated ins and outs for "tape" so you may just want to return a stereo set from the 1010 into a channel on the 1202 and monitor off that. As far as recording to the 1010, I'm guessing that your best option...

The thought that recording at 44.1 is a misconception is odd. The fact is that unless you are using a program that can handle conversions like 96 or 192 then you should record at a multiple of 44.1. This thought is held by the engineers at Digidesign, Apogee (a company that was founded to...
