I may be wrong but Acid 4 cannot record more than one track simultaneously which is perfectly fine for some but a pain for others. Cool Edit it a good companion but neither is good with recording and manipulating MIDI. CEP would be killer with even decent MIDI implementation but Adobe has no...

Chessparov, did they remake the M400 into the TG X-58 which would make sense if they wanted to compete directly with the SM58? I can't find the M400 anywhere on the Beyerdynamic page. But I have been known to overlook the obvious. Sweetwater has the TG X-58 for $79 which is pretty cheap if it's...

I've been looking for a solution to a super noisy machine for some time now. I almost dove in to make ghetto switches to temporarily shut off the fans. But I guess that may be dangerous if you forget to turn them back on. Surfed onto this site today: http://www.1coolpc.com/ I didn't even know...

I can't say I like bright or dark mics not having tried many mics. But the V67 compared to the V93 is dark. The V67 may very well be bright by comparison to various other mics -- I honestly can't say.

Does a SM-58 with the ball screwed off sound just like a SM-57?

$80 seems to be average and everytime I look MXL mics seem to be dropping from the sky for almost nothing. Even if it's average price it's a great deal at that price. Even among cheap Chinese mics I think that a pretty competitive price. I have both the V93(2003) and the V67. I don't do...

v2003 The MXL 2003 is $89 at Musician's Friend now. It's will not likely be your last mic purchse but it's a _great_ value if the only thing you have now is a SM58. It's a bright and almost crunchy sounding mic so keep that in mind if you're trying to pair that with a warmer dark mic. Marshall...

High as a kite :) Just got the V93 and V67. After preliminary tests I like the V93 on guitar a lot. I use the V67 on vocals. But I've yet to use the famed 603. How does it sound in comparison to the other two I have? I've seen all of them recommended but I'm not sure if it's something I shoud...

Hmm... upon further investigation it seems like the Spirit M series and Mackie VLZ have similar features but some that are unique different and make for pretty big differences in application. For example, the M series lacks sub out unless I am missing something. This is something pretty...

The Spirit stuff looks much better. Never tried one. But it's also considerably more expensive. I think the M12 is about the same price at the VLZ16 (could be wrong) but it does add an A/D converter. Just me but I'm getting away from the all-in-one pieces. It's difficult to find something decent...

The original version only goes to 64M which I had no problems with. If you email the programmer there's an auto reply that send you a version that can ideally go up to 1G. I can only get it up to 256M due to "lack of contiguous memory space." I'll have to contact the programmer because I'm...

Sequencer to go with CEP? Chris, I've just discovered the simplicity and beauty of CEP. The few times I've messed around with other all-in-one apps I've nearly ripped my hair out. I've clicked on every little cryptic icon in Logic and I couldn't get it to do squat, and I'm a person who has...

Richard, thanks for the odd-man-out advice :) Couldn't find info on the 690 even on the AKG site. Discontinued? BTW, 880s are going for $99 for two at 8thstreet if you need more. DJL, I've never actually used or _heard_ the MD421 live. I just get the feeling they are good based on the...

Sorry, Reco, didn't realize you were a veteran and had released a lot unlike myself :) Well done stuff though it's not what I generally like listening to. A quick note, your MP3s are considerably softer than most of the MP3s I've heard. Not sure if you posted premastered tracks.

Technically the 1202 can handle way more mics -- 12 to be exact. The key is it can only deliver 4 channels of phantom power. I don't record drums at all but from what I've read most of them use a lot of dynamics that don't require phantom powering anyway. So the answer is yes a 1202 might work...

Thanks, temporarily forgot about that :) I do remember trying to do a search a long time ago and not having much luck. Was a bit more successful this time. http://www.codeguru.com/system/RAMDisk.html

I am running out of HD space but I have an over abundance of physical RAM that I never use (2 Gs). Can someone tell me how to make a virtual drive out of a chunk of that memory? I used to know how when I had a 8088 but it was pretty useless then consider total RAM was something like 128k. Thanks.

I believe Cool Edit 2 is only up to 128 tracks and that's only if you have the CPU and HD speed to back that up.

Reco, nice setup but what have you made with it? Post some links to MP3s or something. I have a decent setup but I haven't done jack with it (yet!). There are tons of kids with 4 tracks that run circles around what I've done with a fancy computer and great gear. Hold off on the excitement when...

There are literally hundreds maybe thousands of posts regarding this on the BBS already. Don't mean to sound mean but all the info is out. Just do the search. Many have stated that a decent mic will sound much better through a decent mic pre but it's got to be a step up from your onboard Mackies...
