    CRIKEY!!! i just checked out the Musician's Friend website and the D2424LV is now $1299!!! this seems like an UNBELIEVABLE deal for a 24-TRACK, 24-bit PROFESSIONAL recorder of this type!! maybe it's been at this price for a while. i don't know. it seems like quite a deal, though. cheers!

    Never buy this f_cking shit

    DO NOT BUY an Alesis 3630 compressor.. ................UNLESS: 1) you like your compressor to "pump and breathe" like Darth Vader AFTER an hour on the StairMaster.... 2) you like to hear your gate "chatter" like those fake wind-up teeth that clatter across the table-top...

    Which is the best DAW the Roland VS-1824, Korg D1600, or the Yamaha AW16G?

    hey darrin,..i've "heard" that some DPS16 users are ACTUALLY recording on ALL 16 tracks at 24bit/44.1kHz (despite the fact that Akai never advertised this). what are your experiences with 24bit recording on your Akai? Also,...does the lack of onboard automation on the unit frustrate you at all...

    Yamaha AW16 or Zoom MRS1266CD

    for a 16-bit "all-in-one" recorder,...i don't know if it's gonna get ANY better than the AW16G. the dynamics and eq for EVERY channel make it worth the cash. toss in 24-bit converters, scene automation and some some creative "sample-pad" applications and you have room to explore practically...

    do krk monitors suck?

    i FINALLY got to demo the KRK V8's the other day. they were sitting just above some gigantic Mackie console next to some HR824's (with the Mackie's being the "outside" pair). i listened and listened,..i A/B'd and i B/A'd. i came to the conclusion that the Mackies sounded a little BIG in the...

    drum machines, your opinion please...

    I "SKEPTICALLY" CHECKED OUT THE ZOOM 323 THE OTHER DAY. I ONLY DID SO BECAUSE I OWN THEIR "SAMPLETRAK" UNIT (WHICH I FIND TO BE AN INDESPENSIBLE LITTLE UNIT). THE LITTLE 323 DRUM MACHINE SOUNDS REALLY GOOD!! I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE QUALITY OF THE SAMPLES!! I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THE...

    best HARDWARE choices for ORCHESTRAL sounds??

    been thinking about that as well, Rolando. how do you load "sample cd's" into a HARDWARE sampler?? is a computer required? a SCSI CD drive?? do any hardware samplers INCLUDE a cd drive for this purpose?? i have little experience in this area. what samplers are best?? Emu E5000?? Akai?? Yamaha...

    best HARDWARE choices for ORCHESTRAL sounds??

    i've been looking at the Kurzweil PC2R very closely. the demo sounds great. the Roland SRX and SRV orchestral boards get pretty good reviews as well. THE PROBLEM IS......in order to GET these orchestral sounds,..i'd have to buy a MODULE "chocked full" of sounds that i have no interest in JUST...

    Fostex PS-3.1 "personal" monitors

    i still have my Fostex PS3 monitors (the previous model). for EXTREMELY compact and "closefield" monitoring situations i found them to be pretty nice (especially for the price). imaging is pretty good and the subwoofer adds a nice bass response. for under $200 bucks, they are hard to beat. you...

    upgrading the hard drive on my Masterlink

    might need a bit of advice here. i'm sure i could crack it open and figure it out for myself, but..........if anyone's done this before i'd appreciate your input. my ML still has the original 4 gig (?) drive. i see that the more "recent" models ship with a 20 gig drive. i'd like to install as...

    Heads Up! Extreme Isolation Headphones

    i tried a pair of "EXTREME ISOLATION HEADPHONES" at my local "Biggie-Sized" music store today. oh the irony. it felt like i was clamping a bear-trap over my noggin'. they were (seriously) squeezing my skull. i kept hearing that "KIDS IN THE HALL" character's voice in the back of my mind saying...

    POD XT vs. POD Pro

    hey J.S.O., i've tweaked the POD since it's inception. version 2.3 is definitely the best. i don't know what Line 6 did,..but they managed to SMOOTH out alot of the tones in the presets. they aren't "less aggressive" by any means,....they just are more pleasing to the ear. you'll be happy...
