Elicantu, do you have that? How seamless is it? I've been thinking about getting it to regain access to all the vst's I got when I was still using Sonar.

Reason can run vsts??

Find an old mbox 1 used.

Just try and find some tutorial videos online. Getting started with protools can be daunting, but once you know the basics, you'll be stoked about switching from audition. When I bought my mbox 2 pro it came with a dvd of tutorials. Did m-powered come with anything like this?

Exactly right. Plus... if you've got the cash for the great preamps, mics, room treatment, etc... buying an HD system, or at the very least, an old TDM system should be chump change in comparison! Basically, the way I see it is that there is no point in going out of your way for great...

So, where is the mic? Is it in the same room that you're listening in? Or do you have a booth or isolated room of some sort? What exactly are you trying to record?

Are you listening with headphones? Get some closed headphones like sennheiser HD280's. Or just turn the click down in your headphones!

Yes, of course there's a "difference," but to my ears, its so minute next to differences between high and low end pres, mics, outboard.... not to mention the fact that you won't be able to really appreciate the difference unless you put a fair chunk of money into acoustics and monitoring too...

Yeah seriously... :rolleyes: The converters in digi's LE stuff is definitely on par with most stuff in it's price bracket... I could spend around 700 on a comparable m-audio or presonus interface to an 003r, spend $500 on logic 8, and be in the same ballpark quality wise. Sure it's not a pro...

For rock/hip hop vocals I'd definitely get the sm7. If you want something a bit more versatile, maybe the at4047, although in that class of AT condensers, I prefer the 4033.

Thanks for the input guys! I think I'll grab a pair of naiants while saving for some oktavamod mk012's.

I'm looking for a pair of pretty much all purpose sdc's. I'd like to be able to do an xy or ortf or just a dual mic setup on acoustic guitar, throw them up for drum overheads, maybe even throw one on a guitar cab to supplement a 57. The most immediate/important application would be acoustic...

I was thinking of getting a pair of oktava sdc's but came across karma audio. All of their mics seem to get rave reviews, but I can't find any info on these guys. Anybody know anything about them? I'd definitely like to save $400 for something else and get these guys, but I'd like to hear...

Your other option for more ins would be to sell your 1010's and get a profire lightbridge or the 2626 and some adat pre units.

From m-audio's website: "It is not possible to used multiple (linked) audio cards with Pro Tools M-Powered" This is basically digidesign's way of making you spend a huge amount of money on an HD system to get the number of inputs that you really want.

or opt-k on mac! switches between auto input monitor and input only monitor auto lets you hear input only while actually recording, and otherwise play what is already recorded on that track. input only will let you hear the input regardless of whether recording or not, but it will not play...

Yup, listened to both of them in store for quite a bit! I feel that they are the most accurate to my ears in their respective price ranges, not to mention my budget. I'm just wondering if there are any rules of thumb or something like that to help me decide what will be sufficient for my room.

So it's time for new monitors. I really like the new yamahas, and I'm pretty set on them, but I'm not sure if I should get the 80s or the 50s? Any thoughts? I can afford the 80s, so should I just go ahead and get them? What should I be taking into account in my decision?

One thing to keep in mind - if you're planning on using this as a way to compress signal on the way into protools to avoid clipping... not the best choice. Even if the compressor is setup properly and lowering peaks as desired, it is AFTER the A-D conversion so you're still clipping into...

Yeah, just route your mic to an aux track with the plugins on it, and then route the aux track into an audio track. Arm the audio track and you're good to go!
