    Best monitors under $250! (or more)... Yorkville YSM-1

    I got mine from http://www.thesoundconnection.com They're primarily a live sound company in SoCal but they also do retail. Their website is kinda primitive but you can e-mail or call them. You can also go to http://www.yorkville.com and click "distribution" in the left side column to find a...

    Best monitors under $250! (or more)... Yorkville YSM-1

    Guhlenn: That's a bummer for you. I hope these aren't too much more over there! Bruce (and everyone else): Well that makes at least (only?) 3 of us on this bbs. I think some might be less inclined to buy these babies since it's hard to actually find them in a store to listen to. But like...

    Best monitors under $250! (or more)... Yorkville YSM-1

    Okay, so you know how the RNC is the secret litle steal of a box that everyone on this bbs is finding out about? Well I have to make a similar claim for a pair of monitors that I've wanted for a while and finally got recently. The Yorkville YSM-1's like the RNC are hard to find and most people...

    Everyone is gonna hate me

    Lots of great ideas and discussions going on here, but here's my 2 cents to Mike. Get that RNC. For under $200 it's the single best thing I own. For monitors: If you already have an amp check out Yorkville ysm-1's. They're kind of an unkown pair of speakers (even on this bbs which always...

    Lexicon Bits

    Don't forget the MPX-1 I may be wrong but I think the MPX-1 would fit somewhere between the M-One and the PCM-80. Like others have said, if you can get a PCM, get it. But here's something very cool about the MPX-1: It has two processors. One is always dedicated to reverb. So even if you...

    +48 Volts through a patch bay?

    Thanks man Wow! Thanks for the detailed reply there Skippy. Something was telling me that using the TRS patch bay would be a BAD idea for +48 volts. I hadn't even really thought about the potential damage to ALL of my equipment. Well I'll look for one of those panels to make my own XLR...

    +48 Volts through a patch bay?

    Well this is a good news bad news situation for me! I recently bought lots of cool new toys for my studio! :> Now my wiring scheme is all F!@#ED up! :< (not to mention rack space) Well here's my question: Is there any danger or drawback running phantom power through a 1/4" TRS patch bay...

    heavy on the overeasy

    I have to say that I tried recording without compression for a while, but I wasn't as happy with the results as I was when I lightly compressed on the way in. Compressing the recorded track just seems to be different than compressing the performance. I have some theories on why but I'll get to...

    horn mics.

    you're in pretty good shape Jim. If the horn section is not THE focal point of your recording, you may only need one more dynamic and then a nice pair of condensers. 421's are great mics, but for individual mics within a section you MIGHT be perfectly happy using your Shures. 3 or 4 421's...

    at-4033 or akg c-3000b

    you guys are talking about THREE mics... Not to discount anyone's experience and opinon but the C3000 and C3000B are noticeably different mics. Banjoal was asking about the C3000B compared to the 4033. Most of you are comparing the old C3000 to the 4033. The old C3000 had a rap for being...

    ADAT or Gadget Labs Digital Interface?

    Which would definitely have better sound?... You're splitting hairs at this point. The difference in sound would probably be more apparent because of the quality of the two different a/d, d/a converters more than the fact that one is 20 bit and the other is 24 bit. They'll both sound excellent...

    Super Bit Mapping?

    I don't know if it's the same thing, but Sony DAT machines used to have SBM. That's where I first heard of it. I know that the Sony DAT machines sounded different than the Panasonic ones, but the difference could have been the a/d and d/a converters just as much as SBM. Actually, most people...

    16 bit into 24 bit question! ????

    thanks both of you, jamiecer, have you gone from your DAT digital out to ProTools digital in (at 24 bits)? And if you do, does ProTools just leave the extra 8 bits blank? thanks, saxman72

    16 bit into 24 bit question! ????

    What happens when you plug a 16 bit digital output into a 24 bit digital input? Does this work at all? Or does it get all messed up? Does it work ok as long as the sample rate is the same? What I want to do is take some stuff I have on DAT and transfer it to my computer without going into the...

    which tube mic?

    R.E... So these are all different versions of the Marshall tube mic? (or vice-versa)... The VM100 is pretty cool, by the way... Great for the alto, pretty good for tenor, and I'll check it out on soprano and bari today... How does the 797(in cardioid) compare to the VM100? Thanks, :>saxman72<:

    which tube mic?

    killer tube mic! Has anyone else here checked out the CAD VSM-1? I used one for a couple of weeks and thought it was a killer mic. It's got a nice high end sheen to it, and has a musical squishiness to it. almost breathes with the music. many have said that the band from Conan O'Brien's...

    Defrag Question

    Okay, So I'm still kinda new to this hard disk recording thing. My main question is this: Should I back up my drives before defraging them? Or is it perfectly safe to just go ahead and do it?... Bear in mind I have almost a year's worth of stuff on these drives. My second and possibly more...
