From what i've gathered about these two units they are good "balls-y" pre-amps.... especially on drums. But if the 1272 and the 2108 had Battle Roy-al which would be the pound for pound best overall pre??? I am probably going for a Sytek unit and as I've heard that has a cleaner character, I...

From what I've read ...... Alberton should be a lot like ACID. It should have its own explorer window and you should be able to drag and drop files into a "track" and then "paint the loops to length. It should have a set of transport buttons to start/stop/pause the playback and the options...

Is it true that the 85dB level helps most with low end??? I thought I remember hearing that you will be able to get a better handle on the bass (especially) at 85dB listening level. .... or is it just a generall advantage to the ears response?? -mike

I have had one for a while .... and the only reason I had to use it was the battery power option for getting half assed recordings (to a Marantz cassete recorder) of some shows or a jam. But ,...... I did some recording for a friends band and it was an extra mic so we put on the Marshall cab...

Thanks Dave. I was wondering about the Mackie format. Of course the official Mackie info implies that the formatting is propritary also but I guess not. I think though that I am now leaning towards the ADAT. It actually does have a standard ethernet port and I would be most just do projects...

DANGER!!!! DANGER Will Robinson!!!! I had the CO2's for 1 day before returning them. Extremely noisy IMO!!!. Unusable in recording acoustic/clasical guitar. Didnt sound bad but much to much self noise. Its possible I got a bad set but they are rated at like 24db or something. Not too good...

I think a spin on everything mentioned so far is...... ..... track count also. I probably cant hear a dramatic difference (like $1000 to $1500 dollars per channel worth of difference) between a DMP3 and a Great River if I'm listening to one track side by side ........ sure the Great River will...

Co2 Warning!!!!! I had the CO2's for 1 day before returning them. Extremely noisy IMO!!!. Unusable in recording acoustic/clasical guitar. Didnt sound bad but much to much self noise. Its possible I got a bad set but they are rated at like 24db or something. Not too good ....... although...

I have the oportunity to purchase a Mackie MDR 24/96 (used) for about the same price as a new ADAT-HD. I was leaning towards the ADAT because it takes regular (cheap) IDE drives as opposed to the proprietary Mackie Media drives...... (anybody know how much these are??). I like the fact that...

The M69 was my most recent purchase. Used on snare and guitar cabs a one vox track. Smoother than the SM57 with less grit and a little more low end. Works real good closer to the center of the cone IMO. On a particular track I did for this last project (which I'm still mixing uhhg) the M69...

There are other compression schemes out there also. You might try FLAC or SHN (shorten) schemes. I dont trust ZIP with my audio files ....... had occasional instances of them not opening properly and such. FLAC and SHN are both lossless. I prefer FLAC FRONTEND to encode because you can set the...

Building on what Chess and Cloneboy stated.... Blend a DI and mic'd amp. The amp rig is the 3rd most important thing. 1st is your fingers and playing technique. 2nd of course is the instrument. 3rd is the amp (if using one). I am not extremely familair with the bands you mentioned but Korn...

I think so too, Warhead. I found it on at the Rec Pit ..... I think. Someone had a whole bunch of quotes and annecdotes. -mike

C'mon Chess..... ..... it's your birthday and you know you want it. ;) Treat yourself and then tell us your impressions of the FET version compared to the Tube. -mike

Zappa's the Grand Wazoo. Blessed Relief has a great acoustic quasi chordal solo (thats a medical term :D ) towards the end and the title tracks has a good acoustic sound too for the rythm track..... very breezy sounding...... I think it was an ovation that he used too..... go figure. I also...

Toft unit reviewed in Tape Op I believe tony Viscontti (sp?) "guest" reviewed the unit and gave it a glowing review ....... especially the EQ section which he described as worth the price alone. I beleive he makes note of of the fact that the compressor is post eq only but says (or editor...

Cant monitor the track being recorded. Can hear the already recorded tracks but not the one bieng overdubed. Can view the recording levels but cant hear the track. So, if for instance you were overdubbing a guitar solo onto a rythm bed, i can hear the rythm bed but not the sound of the solo...

Cool... Thanks. -mike

Right click and hold. Just place the cursor and hold the right mouse button down and drag. you can drag the BLOCK anywhere including to other tracks or just move it around the timeline within the same track. You dont have to select it first. -mike

I am almost positive i read about a way to hotkey zoom functions but I cant seem to find it in the manual. Any help? Also ..... any idea of why when I open a CEP wave file in Sound Forge that I had cue points marked (in CEP) it gives me a "Illegal boundaries marked in file have been...
