    zoom BRT3 drum machine

    Anyone familiar with this model?? I noticed that this unit has a midi input but no midi throughput. Is this used merely for creating a drum loop using a midi controller and the drum machine, or can you use the zoom kinda like a midi synth or whatever you would call it. Basically can I plug...

    best rack pre-amp? and why?

    ok first off, what does "IMO" stand for. I always see people typing that, but I am not completely hip to all of the internet lingo. I can make an educated guess but would rather just ask. :) next, the dell is a 1.6 ghz core solo processor with 1024mb ram. It does fairly well for right now, but...

    best rack pre-amp? and why?

    well I dont have any rack effects yet but am getting a v-amp for guitar. and will also probably get a compressor and maybe an EQ. Lets assume that I ONLY have a firewire 410 and a rode NT1 mic. How would I run through that signal chain? to lets say, add compression to a vocal track as I am...

    best rack pre-amp? and why?

    the only problem that I forsee with this approach, is figuring out how to route through any effects that I may have ( compressors, EQ ) once it goes into the 410 its going into the computer. I could just settle for plug-ins, but would I be really holding myself back by doing this?

    best rack pre-amp? and why?

    Well, I think my approach to this is going to go something like this.... buy a better mic, probably a studio projects b1 or a rode nt1 ( any opinions on this choice would be much appreciated. ) run direct into the 410 and see what kind of results I can get.

    best rack pre-amp? and why?

    yeah, I guess I should be MORE concerned with how quiet the preamp is. Thanks for all of the help guys.

    tube mic questions

    what should I know about a tube mic? I assume a tube mic will really warm up vocals, but does it connect the same way ( with an XLR with phantom power? ) is it usually a better sounding condenser? Thanks.

    best mic for under $150 bucks

    I am looking for something mainly for recording vocals. I am looking for something that doesnt sound to thin and high. Would like something that maybe accentuates more of the lows and some of the mids if that makes any sense. I may use it to mic an acoustic guitar as well but MAINLY for vocals...

    best rack pre-amp? and why?

    man I need sleep. so I guess it would do what I need it to do. Great. Thanks a lot for all of the help and for putting up with my sometimes moronic questions.

    best rack pre-amp? and why?

    but what if I wanted to like mic an acoustic guitar with two mics. Should I just use the berry for that or run the berry into the dmp3? Should I buy a different type of mixer for that type of application? Or do I have to have a preamp with multiple channels? Thanks.

    best rack pre-amp? and why?

    ok. I guess I will keep this thread going with some more idiotic newbie questions. If I use my behringer mixer and then run from the behringer out to the dmp3 ( or any other preamp ) Will that affect or color my sound any? I would like to use the mixer so that I can keep several mics and...

    best rack pre-amp? and why?

    I just searched the dmp3 on musicians friend. There are two of them. one 129 and one is 159. Both seem to be the exact same thing based on description. **scratches head**

    best rack pre-amp? and why?

    yes, as I was searching ebay during posting this thread, I noticed the Eureka. I think it was around 225 or 250. I will have to check it out. I had a presonus tubepre before and didnt really care for it. It didnt have any apparent benefit to the sound of my mic. ( perhaps cause its a $60 dollar...

    best rack pre-amp? and why?

    also, can you recommend the same thing but in a 19" rack mountable unit? under $200. thanks

    best rack pre-amp? and why?

    ok, that makes sense to me. I never thought of it in terms of the stacking of tracks and how that noise will build also. Which preamp would you prefer out of the two that you mentioned?? Any reason why you find one to be better than the other?? I definately would like something that is quiet. I...

    best rack pre-amp? and why?

    well I am looking at getting a studio projects mic. b1. but I guess the next question is. Why would I buy a vtb1 instead of using the behringer preamps. I know that the initial reaction would be " cause behringer sucks," but is there any specifics as to why one would be better than the other? Is...

    best rack pre-amp? and why?

    what would be the best rack preamp for the money??? I was looking to spend under $200 whether used on ebay or new. Also, what precisely will a preamp do for me other than provide phantom power and gain? I have a mixer that has a gain control and will provide phantom power and was wondering...

    but why did that require leaving the backing plate off? and also, why would using a left handed trem benefit him? thanks.

    stevie ray vaughn tremelo

    this may be a stupid question. Why did SRV remove the backing plate for his trem system? I had heard the reason a long time ago when I first started playing guitar but forgot the exact reason. I know it had to do with an unorthadox way to use vibrato but can someone explain it completely? Thanks.
