Okay, I will tell you up front I'm not very familiar with everything, so here it goes DBX 166XL-- Is a dual compressor, it controls the dynamic range,http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=040710211648024220140139795853/g=rec/search/detail/base_pid/183548/ DBX 160A-- Same as above, just a...

SonicAlbert made the best suggestion ever!! I wouldn't exactly say stay away from alesis, I would just use it to subgroup compress drums and that's it, DBX is okay they are known for their sound however the DBX266xl has audible clicks not too noticable but if you solo the channel it's there...

Vocal Processors are used alot in the real world! I would say if you are really good at tuning in on the sound your are after then bypass the vox processor,but you will even notice that great engineers still have them, look at Madonna, Britney, and Mariah Carey they all use them and they can...

In hip-hop I do, R&B it depends, for limiting I just want it to fit in, not to sit in just yet. I would recommend doing both and find out with one you like best, if you are going to be screaming into the mic, then I would say slap a limiter. It's all about trial and error, mainly depends, some...

I will link some as soon as I signup to soundclick.com

You seem shocked, me and my crew colabbed with another set and we just flowed we use up 64 tracks just for vocals. It took place at greenhouse studios it's actually a house turned into a studio (4bedroom) so we sat in the control room and some sat in the family room (we call a lounge), and just...

I mostly do hip-hop and I can have as many as 20 people spittin' their verses, or adlibs. Really it all depends on the style I record

This should be of help: If you want to do editing, mixing in your PC, you need to transfer "unmixed" version of audio to the PC. In this case you need to use "Wave file save" described in the O/M. If you perform Wave save function, VF-16, VF160 write wave file for each track, if you choose...

Well if your recording hip-hop then I suggest looking into the OG of them all drummachines the akai MPC, but I have gotten great results with akai of course,but also reason, Acid pro 4.0. Maybe I read you post too fast but I don't really know if hip-hop is what your doing, please enlighten me?

A great book you should get is Home Recording for Musicians by Craig Anderton, also please check out the "basic recording" series by Paul White you will like these little books

I'm just curious to see how well they hold up

I however did upgrade the tubes for the preamp ( I no longer use this pre), I have put in several GT-ecc83s are great for vocals Electro-Harmonix- gives a high, but not shrilled sound Phillps-- is a nice round fat mid upper Telefunken-- very smooth Don't forget to warm up your tubes for at...

I'm a big fan of fostex, so I would recommend one of the VF-series of course, unless you can get your hands on the D-series, you may check out reviews from www.soundonsound.com they do alot of reviews, and most of the time there really good at it.

You can clean you cables using Deox-it by Craig companies, also I would recommend using a hum eliminator by Ebtech, or you can purchase a furman strip or conditioner, there is a difference between the two. Also if you have alot of cables you can adjust them to a right angle, also try a different...

I have 3-5 mics, that I use alot, I have a bunch of okay mics like (6) SM58 (4)SM57 (2) Audio technica 3035 (3) Marshall V57m I use these alot: (2) AKG C3000B (1) AKG C2000B (1) AT4040 (2) Rode NT1 TREELINE: you have a very nice selection of SP mics, the B1 is a great buy I was really...

Those cheap mic pres, sounds really good on drum kits in my opinion, However I notice someone recommended a DMP3 and I have that mic pre, I think that works great for hip-hop vocals you do get a clean sound, you might want to try a Studio Projects VTB-1, I have that also for rock vocals it gives...

Which one to decide to be the master? I think you need to try both ways and find out which setup works best for you. In your DMT-8 manual it should give an example on setup techinques, if not then I assume that your recording to DMT-8 then bouncing over to Cubase for mixing, if so then I would...

It is very easy to fit and formatt a HD for the FD-4 (finding one is the problem) you might want to check out www.fostex.com and see if there is an approve HD list if you haven't done so already. Also the OrB 2.2gb drive is compatiable with the FD-series it's an external, but it will hold a lot...
