Tyose commentare done by somebody that knew what he listened to, while somebody is telling him what to think about it, so that they will but their stuff. They are therefore competely useless, as they reflect more of what he expected to hear than what he heard.
Any "tests" like these that are...
Sure, but theu are dead cheap, and they don't suck THAT bad. They are good enough to start with.
If you get a behringer with 4 preamps, yup.
No problems.
Pfah. Humbug. It'll be fine. And most drives today are 7200 anyway.
Cakewalk? *barf*
Well, I guess it's a matter of taste. :) And therefore, you should not spend $100 on Cakewalk, but instead, you should try out a couple fo softwares first:
Cakewalk has trials: http://www.cakewalk.com/download/default.asp#windows
And so does Tracktion 2...
I'm thinking about buying an Aria Sinsonido bass. I tried one out, mostly for fun, and it felt really good. The sound is very special (quite acoustical with a lot of fungering noise), but I figure it might add character to the songs. ;)
Question 1: Does any body have this bass? Experiences...
Ah, the good old days. When using tubes was the el-cheapo option. :)
One of my tandberg tape recorders had one of those straight-type magic eyes.

Of COURSE! Don't you know anything? They are called magic eye tubes.

Didn't think there was a serious answer to that, did ya? :p
Balancing is a way to send a signal through a cable with less noise, by using three wires instead of two.

-10dBV an +4dBu are two differnt types of standard levels for signals. +4 is common on high-end and balanced equipment, and -10 on unbalanced...
Yet more proof that it's not digitals imperfections that make the difference, because nobody could reasonably claim that 4-track portas have a transparent sound. :P
And I agree. The stuff I did on 4-tracks sounded way better than the things I did with my 8-tracks for a long while. I just...
That's What they always used to cost. That's the most high-end bleeding edge part of the machine.
With all due respect, but you are way off here. There is no doubt that analog tape has a longer "shelf life" than digital. You'll be able to step into a major studio with 24 track 2" long after...
Stomp boxes do one thing well. Effects pedals do many things and are programmable. So, dogmans big question is still the question you need to ask yourself.
And I would say: If you have to ask, then go for the all in one product. :)
In my limitied newbie experience with drums, the most important part when recording drums is:
1. A good and well tuned drum set. Make sure you know how to tune the drums. Hint: if there is tape or other stuff on the drums to dampen them, then whoever set them up probably doesn't know how to...
I don't think that type of parallells have any real use, especially when it's so competely wrong as this one, but it's cute. :)
But if you compare a recording of a string quartet with a synthesizer using string modeling, THEN you would be somewhere in the vicinity of "not completely...
No, only you do that, but it's nice of you to admit it. Or course, matched together with your talk about serious discussions, that makes you a hypocrite.
Still waiting...
