    Am I crazy? Leaving "the box"

    In my experience mixing OTB never would sound as good as ITB until I improved the quality of my converters. I used RME multiface, M-audio, RME fireface and could never get quality mixes OTB. Wasn't until I stepped up a level to Lucid and RME ADI that I could get my mixes sounding as good or...

    anyone know anything about an ADK AP-1?

    Well to be honest they are my goto pre's on alot of things. And I also have a Langevin DVC, 4 re-built channels of pm1000, a Presonus 96k, DMP3, Rane MS-1, EH 12ay7. The AP-1's do well on almost anything, and I prefer the DI's on them especially. The tracks stack well with them.

    anyone know anything about an ADK AP-1?

    That is more than a good deal. I have two of them and they get used quite a bit. Just check the input transformer. If it's a crimson you might want to call ADK and buy a Cinemag replacement for $75. The very early models came with the crimson's and then they switched to Cinemag. Worth the $75 to...

    What mixer do you have and which do you love?

    I have a Tascam 320B. I re-capped it totally and changed some of the opamps in a few channels. I really like this mixer a lot. Noise floor is just a bit more than what I'd like but not that it's a problem. It sounds really nice and doesn't get in the way at all, great for analog summing of mixes...

    Am I crazy? Leaving "the box"

    One thing to think about is that mixing outside the box requires xtra conversion which is directly related to the quality of your converters. Also more cabling which can become somewhat expensive for decent cables. I'd recommend staying ITB unless you have better than average conversion. Just...

    Acoustic recommendation?

    I just played every guitar they had at my local guitar center in that price range. The only one I liked at all was a Martin. I think you need to play them yourself in order to find a good one. Sorry, but there's really no other way. I personally own a Larrivee D-3 all mahogony and a Takamine...

    Tips for D.Iing bass?

    I use a Hartke vxl pedal. Not much more or about the same as a decent di box. Works great for me.

    Free Mastering

    Hi Tom, I'd like to send you something. Just a few questions. Must they be original compositions and what genre are you more interested in? Or doesn't it matter? btw, I think I'm fairly local to you and would love to find out more about the classes you teach.

    spray-painting tolex amps?

    I don't know how this will work, you would have to do a sample first. But I know it works great for hard plastic like pickup covers. I used it on my EMG's and you couldn't scratch the paint off if you tried. Looks very, very good. I painted my cream colored EMG's black. It's vinyl auto spray...

    I need a new Preamp, any suggestions?

    I think these pres are very under-rated. Forget the swapping trannies and opamp part. They sound very good stock. I have 2 of them.

    a soundcard that i can plug in 4 mic's for drums

    Save up a few more hundred and get an 8 channel interface. Firepod, Tubefire8 or something along those lines. Then you'll have some room for expansion.

    Tascam M308 problem

    I have an M320, doesn't need any jumpers. 1/4 inch jacks for the inserts. Pretty sure the 308 is the same.

    Good Vocal Mic Under $150

    If you're looking for a dynamic try a Heil PR20. I really like how it tracks for vocals

    Tascam M308 problem

    Make sure your line/mic switch is in the right position and that you have the orange l/r buttons in on the channels you are using. Also in the master section. And make sure the channels are turned on (green lights lit) Should get audio through the board.

    Tascam M512 / M520 Upgrades

    Hey sweetbeats. Just thought I'd give you some food for thought here. Not the same board but I have a M320B that I totally re-capped and did the first eight channels with a combination of LM4562 and OPA2134. I kinda ran into the same issue of not wanting to overload the power supply so I never...
