    Suggestion for 8 mic pre-amp

    The MOTU 8-pre looks really versatile as it can be an ADAT I/O expansion or a firewire, direct to the computer, unit. Limited analog outs may be its only shortcoming, but I have yet to do a final mix analog. I should add that I am in between soundcards right now and do not own one. I have been...

    Radikal SAC2.2 vs. Mackie U. Control?

    Might I say that, for the price, the Mackie is a total rip. For what it does it should be a few hundred bucks rather than upward of a grand. I was going to get one for use with Sonar and bought a used (discontinued) Studiomix for $100 on EBAY.

    Keep my Mackie 8 Bus Board or not?

    I don't mix down on the Mackie. I don't own any preamps. Software automation and effects are too good to not exploit the better features of a DAW software. When I look at the weaknesses of my setup they are PC related: I've had a PC blow a power supply in the middle of a session. I've had hard...

    Mackie 8 bus and Delta 1010

    I just sold 2 Delta 1010's to members of this board. They were set up in a configuration with my 32x8 Bus. I'll be replacing the 1010's with something firewire because I'd like to be able to break the rackmount out and record remote to a laptop now & then (RME 800 and Mackie 1200F look...

    Keep my Mackie 8 Bus Board or not?

    I have one and I wonder the same thing sometimes. What I like about that board is the direct outs. My converters (which I just sold), 2 Delta 1010's, had just trs connections. So I needed something to plug xlr's into and control the signal. I have to say that I use the eq on the board quite...

    Easy Bass Beatles Songs?

    If you can walk a little bit, Many Beatle songs will "Come Together" :) The Lady Madonna walk is similar to the bridge in Good Morning, Good Morning. Birthday walks through the chord and does a pretty basic I IV V progression. What I love about the production on Beatle albums is that you can...

    FS: Delta 1010(NOT LT) & Extra PCI Card

    You know what this is. http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Delta1010-main.html It's extremely stable. High-quality and works with most recording software. I use two of them simultaneously with Sonar. I will throw in an extra PCI host card that you can put in a backup PC. You can't buy the...

    vs 880ex to my computer?

    Synch it via midi to your PC. It doesn't matter if the VS is the slave or the master as long as they are together. This way the tracks will line up. Get a pc-based software like Sonar or Home Studio and solo the track you want to send to the PC, either via spdif or analog thru the main out of...

    Behind moniters? Foam? Fiberglass?

    Mine are about a foot behind the monitors, which are on stands. My traps are 2'x4'x4" as going with 2" thick didn't do the job as well. I didn't have 703, but something with similar sound absorption coefficients to 705. There is definitely an audible difference with them in that location.

    I'm pretty sure the two guys he brought with him were his parole officer and his bodyguard.

    delta 1010 alternatives

    I have two. Synched flawlessly. They are the most stable component of my studio. Rock solid. I am worried about new computers lacking PCI slots and making them obsolite. I'm not in a hurry to upgrade that aspect of my signal chain. I bought my second one on Ebay like four years ago. I use them a...

    Any ex-Sonar 2.2 users out there?

    I'm still on 2.2 because nobody can give me a info on how to get Studiomix to work in later versions the way it does in 2. :mad:

    Marshall Mxl V67g V67 Microphone Studio Condenser Mic

    I used to have a V67, but some screamer I recorded blew out the diaphragm. Note to self: "No screamers on LDC's." I have the ECM's but they pick up everything, not always desireable if you're looking for stereo imaging. I use my pair of 603's in x-y for any acoustic guitar recording. Those...

    Studio Projects Sucks!

    Lightyear This is a testament to the fact that many of us need to spend more time in the studio perfecting our craft rather than obsessing over equipment that produces virtually inaudible improvement to the overall track, at least to the average listener. "Roundabout" to my ears, has a level...
