I need a little advice and direction on how to set up a session for recording bass and drums together in the same room. Here's the gear I've got: M-Audio 2496 card (2 analog in, 2 digital in) DMP3 pre ART DPS (with SPDIF out) ART Tube MP SansAmp Classic RNC compressor Sennheiser 421 MXL 603s...

Don't bother with Recording (or Mix or Home Recording or any of those other glossy mags that just want to sell you gear). There is only one magazine: Tape Op! Subscriptions are free at http://www.tapeop.com/.

monitoring I just picked up the Presonus HP4 headphone amp and it does exactly what you want. It has four separate headphone outs as well as a control room monitor attenuator. It can be had brand-new for $99. As far as a talk-back mic goes, you should be able to hook it up through the M-box...

I also have the K7S5a with a Athlon XP 1600 and a Audiophile 2496. Works great. The only issue is that you cannot manually assign IRQs in the BIOS, so you have to do quite a bit of trial and error swapping PCI cards in order to get the Audiophile on its own IRQ. BTW: directron.com has great...

OK here's the deal... My ART DPS preamp has an Gain knob, an Output knob, and a Digital Output knob. The only meter is for analog output. My questions are about how to set up my preamp to record only using the SPDIF out: If I'm not using the analog output, can I turn the Output knob all the...

Well actually I was talking about the ART DPS, not the DMPA. It's a moot point now because I just picked one up brand new for $180 on ebay last night. So I'm committed. Thanks to everyone for their input.

No one gets what I'm trying to do... I need to have TWO stereo preamps so I can record four channels at once (bass and drums). One is my DMP3 and the other one will have an SPDIF out. Then, I want to use the gear I have to record single-track overdubs. The thing I'm trying to do is to then use...

OK, here's the deal. I need to be able to record four tracks at once to my Audiophile 2496: 2 analog from the DMP3 and 2 digital from a yet-to-be-purchased preamp with SPDIF out. After that, I'll be overdubbing one or two tracks at a time. I'd like to use the good pres on the DMP3 but I'd rather...

I realize that the inserts are just before the A/D. What I want to do is use the DMP3's pres but take advantage of the DBX's A/D. My question is, can I do this? mic --> DMP3 pre DMP3 analog out --> DBX insert DBX SPDIF out --> Audiophile 2496 SPDIF in

The ART DPS apparently can be used as an A/D only by putting the output of another preamp into the insert channel. This apparently bypasses all preamp circuitry in the ART and goes directly to the A/D. Does anyone know if I can do the same thing with the dbx 386? The specs say that the ART's...

Tape Op!

I just got a used one for $85! yay!

So I guess I'm SOL.

OBVIOUSLY both the pres and the converters will be compromises. That's a given; there are ALWAYS compromises. Many of us on HOME RECORDING(!) DOT COM BBS cannot afford to spend $1000 or more on a pre and/or converter. The question still is, given a tight budget and the need for a SPDIF out, what...

Lately there have been a bunch of brand-new ART DPS on ebay going for $200. Might have to scoop one up.

So... no happy ART DPS users then?

I'm thinking of getting the ART DPS too unless I can find a Mindprint DI-Port on ebay (no one sells them in the states). Any happy ART DPS users?
