Yes -- fantastic mic for the price. Works very well on guitar cabs (better than the 57 in my experience), and is great for micing toms, too. BlackoutRick: The Beta 58 you mentioned is also great on heavy guitar, as is the AKG C414 (for a little more $$$)

I also owned a pair of the B2031As. I got an ungodly amount of radio interference coming through on the tweeters, and I was going to have to pay to get brand new monitors fixed. No thanks. I sent them back and got Alesis M1 MkIIs instead and I don't have any problems with them. Behringer's...

To clarify, you would be running Sonar alone, only using the 002r as your interface (i.e. instead of an M-Audio card or the 828, etc.). Since you'd only be using the 002r as an interface, and not dealing with the PT software, you would still be able to have unlimited voices by using Sonar. And...

I run Sonar 3 Studio, and I've played around in Sonar 4 which looks almost exactly the same. There's definately nothing OSX-like about its appearance. The ugly toolbars at the top and menu windows all scream "designed for Windows computers." If anything is OSX-like, it's Pro Tools, with it's...

As far as the "yuck" factor goes, I'd venture to say that PT's clean, streamlined interface beats Sonar's clunky, Windows 3.1-esque facade hands down (I own both). As far as actual recording goes, I think you'll be happy with either. Personally, I get more done in PT, mostly because the key...

FWIW, Pro Tools LE runs much smoother on my PC than Sonar 3 does (though neither are exactly speedy), so it's not a problem limited to Pro Tools alone.

I've owned a Squier since I was a little tyke, and yeah it's pretty much a junker guitar ... plays and sounds sorta okay for an under-$200 axe. Never did anything to modify it, and the pickup selector is messed up and I've never bothered to fix it. Then again, I've known a few guys who have...

Yeah I was about to be pissed for a minute there ... I have a 1010lt and just bought an MBox so I could run ProTools... But of course, the 1010 series isn't even supported, so Digi's lame oversight actually makes me happy. :D

For starters, cut everything below about 150Hz or so out of your guitar tracks. In most cases, there's nothing down below there worth keeping. If you have other tracks with stuff going on in the low end that don't need it, cut those too. Cleaning up the low end will go a long way toward...

A minidisc, as a function of the medium, will compress your audio when writing to disc, which may have an undesirable effect on sound quality. (IIRC) Recording directly into multitrack recording software will leave your signal 'unmodified' so yes I think it would be advantageous to record this...

I think he's referring to that in-your-face, larger-than-life vocal sound that you hear in most on-air station promos these days, rather than the narrowband crappy 'radio' sound. Getting the lo-fi radio sound is easy, not sure exactly what they do for the 'sizzle' you speak of.

Yeah, PT will only work with the Digidesign hardware, BUT, You can use your Digidesign hardware to playback audio from other programs (e.g. Sonar, Cubase, etc.). Might be where you got confused.

If there's one thing to not listen to the guys at GC about, it's monitors. I've been monitor shopping there off and on for the past 6 months or so (at three different stores), and all they do is push push push on those RP's. They must have a lot of overstock or a special deal with KRK or...

What's your budget? Will it cover a Powerbook? :D

Woo hoo! $62.50 off of more useless Creative gear! ;)

The Alesis are alright (own a pair), but I'd really just like to say that the whole RP line just plain sounds like ass, IMHO ... Now the V6/V8s on the other hand, sound fantastic ... but cost about twice as much ... :D

I have a pair of the Alesis Mk2's ... they're not fantastic monitors by any means (a little muddy, too much bass, no shaping controls), but they're not bad for the price ($340US, got them from GC for $300), probably the best i've heard with 6.5"+ woofers in the price range ... However, I have...

Good call. Nice cab mic. While it's a little bit thin-sounding for my taste, the price is great and it also works real well for toms.

It's very commendable that you started your own PT forum, and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say thank you for providing a place for PT users to discuss their software/hardware of choice. But ... as I stated in my previous post, why force people to go to an entirely different BBS to...

I don't really understand the ProTools stigma either, and much less the absence of a PT forum. There are a lot of people who browse this BBS who use ProTools, why not expand the community by including them? Sure, there's always the official ProTools forums, and a bunch of other forums that I'm...
