    Midas VeniceF-16R 16-Channel Hybrid Console Mixer

    This is the rack mount version of the VeniceF-16 with the inputs underneath instead of in the back. You're looking at sixteen XLR inputs (8 mono, 8 stereo) with phantom power, Firewire connectivity, DAW integration, inserts, and Gawd knows what else for $2000 at B&H. There is way more...

    IQ4gui dynamic EQ plugin stopped working correctly

    You may have a bad sector.

    Wich is better USB/Firewire Audio Interface vs PCI/PCIe audio interface?

    If everyone were as educated on the topic as you I'd most certainly agree. But taken as an aggregate the marketplace is as stupid as a bag of rocks and manufacturers will absolutely be rebranding their Firewire offerings as Thunderbolt offerings even if all they do is include a Firewire to...

    Wich is better USB/Firewire Audio Interface vs PCI/PCIe audio interface?

    Now THAT is an interesting perspective. Specially if the Firewire devices lose market share and manufacturers start discounting. Hmmm....

    Microphone that won't pick up background keyboard noise

    Shure Beta 57a but it's over $100.

    Microphone that won't pick up background keyboard noise

    Any mic with a hypercardioid or supercardioid pattern would be best.

    Wich is better USB/Firewire Audio Interface vs PCI/PCIe audio interface?

    To each their own but I don't touch nuthin' that doesn't allow me to plug a microphone in right out of the box.

    Firewire is dead, Long Live USB 3.0

    As of today Newegg.com offers 260 motherboards that feature USB 3.0 and only 61 with Firewire. I fully expect Firewire to be dead and buried before the end of 2013.

    1000 bucks budget (help)

    The more mic channels w/pres the more expensive things get. Manufactures like to toss out specs like 'sixteen channels' but only two of those channels may be inputs for mics with pres and phantom power. It also helps to know if you're going to be connecting a keyboard, guitar, etc.. MIDI can be...

    Wich is better USB/Firewire Audio Interface vs PCI/PCIe audio interface?

    PCIe is hands down the fastest interface, followed by USB 3.0, Firewire, and USB 2.0 in that order. I expect USB 3.0 to put the kibosh on Firewire next year. Why would you want a Infrasonic Quartet though?

    Firewire is dead, Long Live USB 3.0

    In all honesty this is not yet true, but it's inevitable. Hopefully we'll see USB 3.0 interfaces at CES in January and throughout 2013. USB 3.0 is already the de-facto standard on current motherboards whereas finding mobos with Firewire is getting harder. I seriously would not buy a Firewire...

    Just Getting Started: Voice Acting Gear

    I own a Shure SM7B which is one of the better regarded vocal microphones but most certainly out of your budget. But Mercenary Audio mods up a Shure SM57 into a Shure SM7B wannabe that they claim is almost indistinguishable from the SM7B. Mercenary is pretty reputable.

    Just Getting Started: Voice Acting Gear

    Hi Chris, Ideally I personally would suggest that you run two Shure SM58 mics into the Scarlet ($310 total) allowing two voices to interact with each other simultaneously. B&H sells the Auralex MudGuard Shield With Tripod Mic Stand Isolation Kit for $119 each ($240). Mind you the advantage...

    Audio interface

    I have to partially agree. Given your budget you're looking at either Native Instruments KOMPLETE AUDIO 6 PreSonus AudioBox 44VSL Though it gives you two less inputs overall and is more expensive the PreSonus has four preamps to the NI's two. Both exceed your budget. The Akai has been fairly...

    Recording Chain (Front End)

    All that is fine, well, and totally believable but why would you...could you?... stick a 2626 between your PC and a Hilo Lynx?

    help please with home recording set-up

    Stop. What is your PC, and what DAW software do you intend to use are two important questions. Any recording chain ends up at some point in a PC courtesy of analog-digital converters and other then the H4N... which you are getting rid of... you don't have that functionality. Frankly you'd be...

    Audio interface

    Sure. Don't harbor the illusion that there's some benevolent government agency out there making sure that the cheap gear is put together correctly and safely. Past that though it gets more ephemeral. There's no debate that Avalon preamps are superior to Berhinger preamps but will your ears be...
