    Preamps - Its A Tasters Choice

    And the winners is... I am intersted in a dual channel tube pre amp that I can use for vocals and for stereo keyboards. There is a dual channel Avalon mic pre that looks good or maybe UA 2610 or possibly Amek Neve Dual Mic Amp. I suppose I could use the return policy to test these various...

    Preamps - Its A Tasters Choice

    Some like their coffee with a little cream, some like it black, some like it with half and half and sugar, some leave off the sugar. I like it black and every now and then with condensed milk - no sugar. So, some like tubes, some like no tubes. Though there are lots of recommendations for...

    MOTU 24i or ...?

    I am running a MOTU 2408 with an anaolgue board. I therefore have eight inputs and outputs (which does match the 8 bus configuration of the board). But, I would like additional analgue inputs and outputs. MOTU 24i give 24 analogue inputs. This might be good since the number of outbputs is not...

    REVERB DILEMMA or TOP OF THE LINE OR NOT

    End result The end result is i ended up with the PCM 81 becuase it had the verb sounds I like and other effects too. I am, so far, quite pleased with it. The other end result is that one reverb will never be enough and from here I will build the system. Prbably go for a TC 3000 or Eventide...

    Lexicon MPX500

    Oops oops, screwed up the end of that last post. Anyway, the real moral was and is, and I believe it was something I also read here sometime ago, buy top quality, buy once. Buy cheap stuff, you may find yourself buying again becuase your just not satisfied with the sound and that, in the end...

    Lexicon MPX500

    MPX 500 discontinued I believe the MPX 500 is discontinued. what happened to me was this...I bought an MPX 200 that had something wrong with the volume pot. Unforunately, when I brought it back, some jerk-off salesmane told me I was too late and could not exchange it. Eventually, I brought it...

    REVERB DILEMMA or TOP OF THE LINE OR NOT

    So here is the rub. I could purchase a PCM 91 but...an MPX1 has been highly recommended. In the meantime, there was an MPX 500 that now seems to have morphed into the 550 though I don't know if anyone has them yet. I really don't know what to do. Is it simply better to get the top of the line or...

    Kurzweil vx. Motif

    I saw a thread about the Motif and in there, along with praise for the Motif, was a cryptic reference to the Kurzweil. It appears that amny feel the Motif is the keyboard of the day for real and acoustic instrument sounds. But, I gather this is also true about the Kurzweil, however, the Kurzweil...

    Bdgr is right. Basically, the presets are general outlines of the types of sounds, for instance, a honr like pad, a string-like pad etc. Bells, tuned wood blocks. From there, you can adjust the sounds to suit your needs and little by little begin to understand how to program your synth. The...
