If anyone is looking to off-load an Aardvark Q10 unit in good working condition, please let me know. I'm looking to go from the 8 channels I currently have to 16. Cheers! rick @ rickcharming.com

A Blue Kiwi is for sale locally at a decent price. What would I use something like this for? What applications have you put it to? Cheers!

My recording room currently has carpet that is being removed. What are you guys using? Actual hardwood? Some form of laminate? Tile? Whatcha got?

That sounds totally sweet. So it looks like I'm going for some mics first. Cad ICm417's for drum overheads and sometimes strings AT4033 (acoustic guitar/vocals) ATM25 (kick) SM57's (snare/toms/guitar amps) SM58's (whatever I need) Is there anything I should sell? Are the CAD ICM417's decent...

Was the Lynx Aurora a big step from the Aardvark sound quality wise? I'm still debating buying some mics and keeping the Aardvark, buying a pre (the API 3124+ does sound like a reasonable buy), or screwing it and upgrading the Aardvark entirely. What would have the most immediate impact on my...

Just out of curiosity.. what did you replace your Aardvark with? I've got four inserts on the back of the Aardvark. That means I can only run 4 outboard pres at a time, correct? My math is a little funny sometimes.

No shit! I'm a sax player by trade and arrange for and record horn sections all the time. Maybe that's something I should be looking into in the near future..

Hiya, I've never had the opportunity to play with ribbon mics of any variety. Is there anything I need to know about them? How do you use them? What situations would you use them in? Thanks guys!

Yeah, I've noticed 2k is kinda in-between as far as Pre's go. I'm recording lots of live drums and full bands of all different sorts. I've got a modern rock band on the plate, a rock band featuring acoustic guitar and violin, a folk singer. Very, very broad. With that in mind.. should I...

I've got a store thats about a 20 minute drive from where I live, vintageking.com. He's giving away six-slot Lunchboxes with the purchase of four modules. I'd have to come up with a few more dollars.. but maybe that's the way to go. A couple of API 512C's, A Great River.. Something else...

Wow, this is the first I've read about the Lunchbox and the concept of the modules. Do you literally just take a module and plug it in? Do I need to wire anything? I'm not terribly good with electronics but I suppose I'm not opposed to learning. Going with something like that and 2 or 3...

Wow, it seems like an API stroke-fest! I'm doing lots of recording with full drum kits and bass at the same time, and then smaller groups of stereo micing and vocals later. I certainly need multiple tracks, however I've decent luck with the Aardvark pre's in the past for large applications...

Weird, sorry for the double post. Moderator, please axe one of these! Thanks..

Hey guys, I'm running Cubase SX and an Aardvark Q10 and I'm in the process of upgrading my studio. I've got $2k together for an outboard mic pre. What would you guys be looking into for around that price? Should I buy one $2k one or a pair or three of something cheaper? What's the verdict...

A conflict... just how good are the mic pres? I've had decent luck with them but I'm certainly looking to upgrade.

Hey there Q10 users, If I buy some higher end mic pre's, how do I dodge the ones that are internally hooked up to the Aardvark? Is there something I have to do in the software? Cheers, -Rick

Hi! I'd really like to have a mixing board to mix on at some point. I've been mixing out of the box for a long time. Can I hook up a convential mixing board or do I need to buy a special board? What is the interface between it? I'm really confused on that part. I'm not taking it outside...

Very possible! Email me at rick@rickcharming.com. Cheers!

Hello everyone, I've been recording for about five years, have finally bought a house, and I'm converting my entire finished basement into my studio. It's a huge jump from my tiny bedroom! I'm running an Aardvark Q10 and have been happy with it for a long. Is there an advantage to me running...
