I had an opportunity to listen to the Tannoy system 600s against the Mackies and thought the Tannoys were the better of the two. If its tight bass you want, the Tannoys even surpassed the Mackie in that department. The uppewr ranges were a bit forward but I suppose that helps for clarity. So all...

Actually, I use MTC and that works just fine for syncing my DAW, MP200XL and various synths and synth modules. Actually, I have been quite curious as to how electronic instruments are synced to real instruments. For instance, how does one go about syncing an 808 kick drum to a real kick drum...

Thepoll on what software people uses had many choices but did not include Digital Performer. I am curious as to why that is. It seems to me that Pro Tools and Digital Performer are the most often used software by professionals. Am I mistaken?

There are probably many techniques for syncing instruments, machines etc. To start, what are some of the techniques used for syncing drum machines and arppegiated (arppegiator synth parts) on bass, for instance. I find that the machines tend to drift off from each other dispite their being...

Good point Mr. Jones. That, I believe, in conjunction with what Alan Hyat has said and the many different and varied posts that have appeared in this forum have answered the question quite well. And so it is at least clear to me that it is entirely possible, even probable, that a good musician...

How has modern technology, manufacturing techniques, computers, competition, cheap labor in third world countries effected the price/performance cureve on microphones. I recently read an article by a well known rtecordist who offered that there is no reason anymore to use the high priced...

Doesn't seem like MM has been mixing anything yet. since they are only tracking, and that is even a stretch if the writings are accurate, there does not seem to be a problem and, if you recall, MM made much ado about creating an atmosphere. Particularly in the creationi of a rock record, that is...

Where can one get the 2600 for 2k. the price seems to be significantly more than that. Can you explain that please. I am interested in either a Trtion, Motif or Kurz 2600, however, the Kurz seems to be cost prohibitive. I shall check with Sweetwater, however, their catalogue has the cheapest...

Check ou the Kawai MP9500. Best hammer action on the market. Well, actually, that is a pompous statement best left to those that are too stupid to realize that their opinion is just an opinion and maybe not THE opinion. So the point is, the Kawai hammer action, originally on the MP{ 9000 which I...

i know this subject has been discussed to death but I have not been in the position where itg was truly a relevant subject, UNTIL NOW. I have owned a Kog karma for some time, about a year and though I like it, in fact love it in certain respects and would otherwise keep it, for reasons I would...

There is a synth out now iwht a name something like Harriman or Hartman, I can't recall at the moment but it is based on granular synthesis. I have read just a bit about the subject but not enought to discuss it yet. Nevertheless, the aforementioned Reason sounds similar. One thing is sure, a...

I ANYONE HAS BOTHERED TO READ THIS FAR...Funny story, entertaining, good. engineers disdain for everyone around him... predictable. engineers have the luxury of being armchari music critics. They do not have to preform so its very easy to walk and talk like they are one up on all. In fact, were...

Anybody with a reasonable amount of know how in this area kindly share some of that valuable information. I would like to obtain greater control over sound parameters throug midi conrollers such as automated portamento, LFO effects and the like. However, in looking at the manual for the Waldorf...

I have an Waldorf Micro Q, a fine instrument. No really, I love the sound. the problem is the programming of this thing. I have been trying to learn to use the CC controllers to do sound shaping with midi but the manual is awful. I says, sort of, what you can do. In other words, it says...

Interesting view frm open mind I endeavor to keep an open mind even after I have made a decision. It appears that the deal I was waiting to close for the money for the pre-amp is slightly delayed. Certianly it will happen soon but...In the meantime, I came across a review of the Great River...

I do not understand negative dB numbers. What does this really mean. Obviously, there is no negative sound, there is some level, sme amplitude, some volume, so that must correlate to positive something. So how come negative measurements are used or should I say negative designtions I know...

Save and get the best you can afford I have wondered about this also. thougt about the VMP-2 as well, but, in the end, I have decided the Universal Audio 2-610 is a better choice. However, if they are discontinuing the Peavey VMP-2, you might want to consider buying one before its too late. It...

The thread on old vs. new pre-amp technology certainly contained many great and valid points and was informative and enlightening. But after all has been said and done, I am fairly set on deciding to purchase for my first high end pre-amp a Universal Audio 2-610. For one thing, I tend to like...

Specs do matter Certainly specs do tell a part of the story. I am sure they do not in any way describe the ultimate sound, however, at the extremes, for the most part, the story is obvious. But, in relation to specs, components, design and manufacturing, it must be said that here, in...
