My supplier told me that Behringer had "sacked" MusicLink a couple of weeks ago, but didn't say for what reason. They said that Behringer was going to go "direct" intead of through a distributor. You've gotta hope that the prices will come down, wouldn't ya? China-to-Australia is about the same...
Just for the record then, which is the newer face?
"Midiman" on left-hand side: http://www.musicmall.com/cmp/Graphics/Products/AudioBuddy.jpg
or "M-Audio" on top: http://www.m-audio.com/products/m-audio/images/audiobuddy_med.jpg
Thanks, I’m not so worried about the clipping light sensitivity as I am about the signal light not coming on for XLR. Maybe my power supply is the problem(?).
So please, if you have the "M-Audio" version of the Audio Buddy, how many milliamps does your power supply say it is - 300mA or 500 ma...
According to the manual the Buddy's green signal lights are supposed to show the presence of a signal for either the rear XLR or front jack. The signal lights on mine only comes on for the front instrument only, not for the rear XLR’s! (And of course I don’t have an instrument pluged in at the...
5) I’m monitoring on HR824’s from an AWE64. Talk about mismatch :D. I haven’t played with it much because I’m just getting started, and latency is so bad on this PII computer (I’m replacing it with a new powerful one). The AWE64 does of course have headphone outs, and I was wondering if I got...
[Moved this thread from newbies]
Please answer some dumb questions and help me make a more informed choice for the M-Audio cards…
Q1.
If I want to connect 3 MIDI devices (say a Pod, a keyboard, and a drum trigger-to-midi device), I only need one MIDI output and input from my PC, so long as I...
Cool! I'm looking at doing fiddly things like this to rack mount other gear like this that wasn't originally intended for the rack. Please post and let us know what happens, huh?

I don't understand every second word you guys mention, but I thought I'd just throw the following product up (as ST-Audio doesn't seem to get mentioned much here). If it's no help, then please ignore.
ST-Audio SRC VI - digital patchbay/switchbox for up to 6 AES/EBU and S/PDIF signal streams...
What model is it? NYS-SPP-L ? If so, go to the web site http://www.neutrik.com/content/products/products_group.asp?id=204_244162 and download the manual.
You flip over each individual jack module to get the different behaviours.

Thanks. Someone else mentioned that the 240V-115V transformers don't convert the line frequency from 60Hz to 50Hz like the American power packs expect. But you haven't found that to be a problem, huh?

I am considering the feasibility of using USA products in a country where the mains power supply is incompatible (Australia, which has 240V 50/60Hz). Here are my thoughts. Any answers or suggestions would be appreciated.
Replacement Power Supplies Option
For gear which has external power...

You can currently order from overseas FMR's RNC from at least two U.S. stores - Mercenary and HumbuckerMusic. So I assume they will also sell the RNMP. (Not that I'm suggesting that you should wait for something that was supposed to be released a year ago!).
I'm in a similar situation to yours...
Thanks, do you know when the pro model is going to be released? :D Bit of a hard question, I know, considering the release situation so far... Maybe how soon planned after the first model?
Beuwdy! Us overseas saps can save $20usd on buying a 240volt model, and we might have more choices of...
1. XLR connectors lock in place and are less susceptible to noisy clicks (than TRS’s) when they are disturbed, right? Why then are patch panels made up of TRS?
2. Should one pay 6-12 times the price for brand-name cables?
... Eg. for a 2-foot patch cable I have the following options at a pro...
Yeah well, that's what happens on public forums, and people say things. I didn't realise you had turned this into your own thread. There's still heaps of advice for you here, should you ever wish to take it, that is.

BS marketing is BS marketing, Full stop.
So if Slack or anyone else points out a specific instance of marketing deception (to let people know what they are really getting), why would you attempt to dilute it with well most everybody else does it-type generalisations in the first place...
Retail Price
According to Tara Callahan (PR Specialist of Roland Corporation) the MC-6 MIDI Trigger Converter "will be released later this month with a US MSRP of $295".
Sounds overpriced to me.
