Interesting article, although right off the bat he gives the wrong definition of compression... I wish I knew more about this to judge the validity of it. Seems like something I've been looking for for some time now. Slackmaster 2000

I've got a V67 and 603s, like them both. I like the V67 on my voice, but it does have a sort of loose quality and seems to exagerate some sibilance (spelling?). I could definately use some lessons on placement though! Slackmaster 2000

Sigh, you guys :) Typically you're going to be using a decent editing package such as Wavelab or Soundforge, neither of which is cheap. Then you might have something like the Waves pack of plugins, which will include the necessary tools to get the job done: a great limiter, compressor, and...

Any info that anyone has on building a fader type circuit like that mentioned above would be much appreciated. We've had this discussion here to no avail in the past. Certainly just tossing a resister in the signal might "work" but it wouldn't be good. What would it take? Slackmaster 2000

Yes, the line preamp is what you're looking for. Not only will it allow you to control volume, but also switch sources, and sometimes they have phono preamps built in which can be handy. Really it's not much of an "amplification" because in reality it's almost just attenuating an incoming line...

Well, sure you can just get adapters..... But you really need something between the soundcard and the monitors to control volume. Either a line preamp or mixer of some sort. You don't want to control volume in your soundcard mixer because a) it's a digital pre-converter operation and b)...

Yep, great value in the Delta44! I would recommend it over the audiophile. You can probably keep your existing soundcard for MIDI if you need it. Slackmaster 2000

Since when is 115db not loud you goofballs? (that's measured ~3 feet from each monitor in the center of the field) I haven't had any underpowered issues, but they are 85W and event recommends 100W minimum, 200W optimal or something like that. I will say this, sometimes if I crank it up with...

see!

Top of the line? Man, then you're going to spend $5000+ on the mic, $5000 on the preamp, $1000 on a great digital soundcard, $5000 on a killer outboard A/D D/A converters, $1000 in cables, $10,000 on a monitoring rig...etc etc. We need to know what kind of goals you have...what you need and...

As far as your computer goes, yeah you can just use standalone preamps instead of a mixer. Slackmaster 2000

p.s. mogami neglex quad and any other "quad" is the same deal...

That's the "quad" part of the deal. I'm not sure what the deal is with it, but somehow it may be beneficial to the sound over short runs, but over long runs you run into impedence issues. That I don't know much about. What I do know is that you just pair up the wires and use one pair for hot...

Heh. That "white stripes album" was recorded on stuff that most of us would kill for. Sounds huge to me. Not exactly tracked and mixed with care, but that's ok. Slackmaster 2000

So would an impendence switch on a preamp just be some kind of variable resistor? Slackmaster 2000

shhhh......shhhhh......it's ok everyone...remain calm...everything will be just fine....nobody is mad....everyone is happpy....just chill out....everybody has a point and nobody is out of line....there isn't even an argument....shhhhh...it's ok....shhhhhhh....that's it...

What would an input transformer's role be in all of this? Warning: I know nothing about this kind of thing. Slackmaster 2000

A tip on the issue of spam... Once your email address is on a list it's going to be hosed, nothing you can really do about it. One thing you might consider is only using your real email address when conversing with real people, then use aliases to manage the rest. So you might use something...

Tip: your thread title should be something like "FS: Fostex 812, Australia", that way people won't have to click your thread to see what you're selling...in fact you can't actually tell your selling something from your title! Just trying to help. If you want to post another thread I won't...

I didn't say *I*. I'm talking about folks using MXL603's and V67 reporting crackling problems and weird "ocean" sounds. Quite a number of them actually. I believe Emeric was one, and he sent the mic back and received another that eventually developed the same problem. They're decent enough...
