There is now a new Yamaha 01V96 that is 24 bit and 96 khz. It also can be used as a digital control surface and has improved sound quality in a number of respects over the original. With respect to a Mackie, I would imagine this new Yamaha easily wins out both in functionality and sound. And, by...

Just got a Lacie 120 gig external hard drive that seems to be working fine. In fact, my original external hard drive is a Glyph which is allegedly optimized for sound recording however, and this is an important point for one room home studios, the Lacie is much, much guieter than the Glyph. That...

Just read somewhere about a particular musician that did an entire project on an old Korg analogue synth. The relevance hereto is in this statement: IT IS BETTER TO HAVE ONE INSTRUMENT AND KNOW IT COMPLETELY THAN TO HAVE 20 INSTRUMENTS AND NOT KNOW THEM THAT WELL. Therefore, you may ask...

In the most recent kyboard magazine, the bakc shows the setup of some keybaord freak from FLA I believe. Dude has over 80 keyboards. If nothing else, this guy has had the opportunity for much hands on comaparisons. For his controller he is using the Kawai MP9000. I also use the same keybaord and...

I nned a loop program for rythm, drums and percussion to use with DP3. I am not sure if Recycle or Ableton Live is a better choice. If you know of such things, please advise.

Okay, fine...that is alot of money and I am only going to spend that much once or, at last once in the next few years, for a microphone. So the question is, how does one "speak" to Stephen Paul. Do you e-mail him, do you call...what? I will try to contact him through the internet, however, if...

In Mix Magazine this month there is a review of the Soundelux E47. This is a direct quote "This is not the bewt mic to record a wooly sounding vocalist". the article further stated that "the low mids were too full and the high end was not extended enough...". Now, this is a pretty expensive mic...

Before you do that, be advised that there is now a Motif rack module that may give you those "vintage" sounds and then some. I did hear the EMU Vintage Keys module. Some good sounds, rhodes and Wurly sounds. Hammond sounds are not good, Clavinet sounds did not really knock me out and Yamaha...

The World Trade Center was still standing,

That is the rub, getting hold of any of tese mics to test. without any kind of real test, most of it is a guessing game. Will my voice sound good with this that or the other mic. So I ask you all this question. For me the best possible mic would be one that sounds goo and is most flexible. What...

Audio Technica made a new mic, the 3060. it is a tube mic without an additional power supply and it claims to run the tube off the 48v phantom power. How can this be possible?

I ordered MOTU 24 i/o which runs a 96 khz. in the meantime, I have been thinking that I might be better off just going for the couple of extra bucks and getting the 192 HD. I am sure the track count will suffer and I will have difficulty with hard drive speeds. I think that at 192 there will be...

I have been eyeing the new MTU 24 i/0 which will give me 24 ins and outs at 96 khz. I am wondering though, should I be waiting for 192 to become the defacto standard. Will 192 khz become the defacto standard once computer speeds and hardware have reached an adequate price point/power point for...

Software synths hve been around for a minute but, hardware still rules the roost, or does it? For those of you that use software synths, tell us a bit about the ones your use, what do you use it for, how does it compare to hardware, what are the advantages/disadvantages to software over hardware...

By the way, after posting that last reply, I realized that of all the keyboards I have had over the years, the one that I regret selling, truly regret selling, is the C3. In my opinion, you simply cannot do anything to destroy that wonderful instrument. Many of the keyboards I have had were...

All I know is that to this day I have a bad back from when I hauled my C3 around. I no longer have it and that is sad but then again its like a bad marriage, The good times are over but I am still paying for them. If I were you, I would seriously consider the Korg double manual B3 immitation...

Man, f. Lai makes a good point about the moog keeping its value. If your think about it as an investment, it is not unlike keeping the money in the bank.

From a purely legal point of view, the person that said there may be other reasons why ebtech did not sue is probably corect. The fact is that lawsuits, especially lawsuits of this nature that require extensive expert testimony, are very expensive. The assumption though is that the risk is in...

I know this has been brought up before but I am wondering this, has anybody had an opprotunity to A/B hardware synth orchestral so unds such as those from a Roland 5080 or a Kurzweil PC2R (model#?) with those available on CD ROM for samplers and particularly, the samples available for...

I ordered a Voyager performance model. They are selling for $2,999.99 or thereabouts. But...MOTU has come out with a new box that has 24 analogue ins and outs - perfect for my set-up and just what I have been waiting for. It is also 96 khz so I am expecting some pretty good sound. The Voyager...
