    This may be a dumb question . . . but, can't you use channel inserts for channels one thrugh four ? I'm not familiar with the mixer so maybe it doesn't have them. Regards, PAPicker

    AT4033 vs AT4050

    Has anyone used both of these ? What are the sonic differences, besides the obvious switchable patterns on the 4050 ? I've read the spec sheets, but I was wondering if anyone had compared them side by side. I was saving for the AT4050, but then I bid and won an AT4033 on Ebay for $238 complete...

    Panning with Computer Software

    When mixing down in computer software, do you ever plan your pans , or do you just type in a number and play it by ear ( pun intended ) ? And what's with that 0-127 stuff . . . how does that relate to the real world ? Do you find it odd that 180 / 127 = 1.417 . . . almost the square root of 2...

    digital distortion

    Anybody heard the latest Queensryche CD . . . Q2K ? The third cut called "One Life" has this wall-of-sound distorted rhythm guitar that, to me , sounds like a controlled digital distortion. Either that or some type of digital distortion effect going on. Anyway, it sounds cool to me and unlike...

    I humbly submit to you...

    I really like this song . . . reminds me of lynard Skynard though. If I had to change anything, I would pan the guitars a bit . . . space them out in the mix away from center. Great tune ! Regards, PAPicker [This message has been edited by PAPicker (edited 05-04-2000).]

    studio condenser mic--> Crown CM700

    There is a good article on the Crown here : Article Here !! But, if you plan on using it for vocals . . . I wouldn't count on it. If I had $200 to spend, I'd go for the NT1. Regards, PAPicker

    Montego II soundcard

    I started out with the Montego II that came with my PC. All I can say is NOISY ! When you pay the $150 bucks for the Studio version, it's just the same card, but with a digital I/O and some cheap software thrown in . . . Don't Do It ! Is your $400 budget just for a soundcard ? Shop around the...

    Mididman Audio Buddy

    Read all about it here ! www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/love.music?p=p.ART127& PAPicker PS- I might be wrong about the AudioBuddy supplying only 9V for phantom, but I never read anything about 48V in the literature. [This message has been edited by PAPicker (edited 04-28-2000).]

    Mididman Audio Buddy

    I've had it . . . sold it. It was quiet and worked fine but only had 9V phantom power. For about $10 more ( $100 ) get the Art Tube MP. It has 48V phantom power, which will support large condensor mics and do a better job should you ever want to add vocals. This is my opinion for what it's...

    I've Got a New One For You

    It's nice to hear there are more KingsX fans, although I did'nt hear them in Cmillers song. I'll give it another listen. I can't, for the life of me, see why this band hasn't made a bigger splash on the music scene. For a power trio, they have a great sound. I've been a Fan since I lived in...

    **Installing 2nd hard drive**

    I'm sure some here might disagree with my 2 cents, so read all opinions before you act, but how you go about it depends on a couple of things. First are you keeping one operating system ? Your existing one ? If you're running Windows 98, are you going to keep using it. Fresh install ? If you...

    Do I need a hardcore soundcard?

    Part of the problem with single input soundcards is that most are 16bit. A few like the MIDIMAN DMAN and Turtle Beach Pinnacle are 18 and 20bit. It's hard to find a high quality single input card. Secondly, running a 5 piece band through a mixer into a single input will put all that sound on a...

    Cakewalk pro audio 9, GR-30, Fender midi guitar

    First, make sure you have a full duplex soundcard so you can play / record at the same time. Second, under audio options in Cakewalk, make sure record & play simutaneously is checked. Regards, PAPicker

    IDE

    OK, here's the skinny. I had an HP drive, the 8200i . . . still have one at work. They work great . . . no complaints there, but, try to back up a playstation disk on it . . . forget it. Try to back up a compilation of CD audio on some of the newer CDs hitting the market . . . can't do it on an...
