I'd second the SIR and Noisevault route. I have a Lexicon MPX1, an Ensoniq DP Pro and a Digitech Studio 400. None of them mega high end but certainly not budget units either, all of them around the £1000 mark on release. Despite owning these units I have used SIR and Noisevault reverbs plus the...

I've got the 2 main live areas, 2 booths and mic pres coming into XLR patch bays. Totally isolated no normalization at all, I've never had any problems.

In my early days recording music I had a few pieces of Behringer gear. Now I have none, they were the first thing to go in upgrades and I lost a fair bit of money on them. What does that tell you! They were ok at the time and I got some reasonable results but as a long term investment not a wise...

£93,000 divided by 14 years = £6,642 ($11369) per year. That doesn't sound half as scary :D

Building £35,000 (soon when the resedential accomodation is finished, including a room for me and wife to be). I pretty much did all the work myself so that is raw materials only. Acoustics and consultation £5,000 Desk £20,000 (paid £15,000) Wiring £3,000 Mics £8,000 (paid £6000) Mic Pres £8,000...

I have 4 MD421's and a AT25. I used the AT25 on a floor tom once when the rythym track just consisted of floor tom and cymbals. It gave a really 'heavy' driving sound and suited that particular track better than the MD421. I wouldn't say they are interchangeable but differnent and it's always...

Does anyone know where I can get hold of 75 Ohm BNC T's and terminators in the UK? There seems to be loads of 50 Ohm Ones about but they wont work for word clocking will they as that requires 75 Ohms, is that right? I've tried the usual suspects like Studiospares and Maplin.

I've had good results with Virtos Noise Wizard. Nice bit of software, effective and pretty cheap.

What operating system would you recommend? Is XP Pro 64 the best option? What are the potential pit falls with this operating system? What exactly is OEM?

I have a couple of effects units that I use as external effects in Cubase SX. They work wonderfully well but at the moment I'm using the analogue inputs and outputs. Ideally I would like to interface them digitally. I have a MOTU 2408 MkIII with a spare ADAT port, is there a cheap'ish ADAT to 4...

I'm planning on building a new DAW sometime soon'ish. Here are the specs I've settled on so far after a small amount of research: Motherboard - MSI K8N Neo2, ASUS A8V Deluxe or DFI Lanparty nF3 UT Ultra-D (This is the bit I can't make my mind up on as yet although the ASUS A8V is the one I'm...

I'm looking at a HD24 and although I'm virtually sold I'm a little worried about several reviewers mentioning the noisy fan. Is is possible to easily fit a quiter fan, has anyone done this?

I was told this wasn't the case because it is an AGP card and not a PCI one, is this right?

Yeah I got a free programme off the net called Sandra Lite which gives you all the information about your PC. I've then gone on the Intel site and sought all the technical specs and compatible processors for my motherboard. I know a little about computers, just not much about upgrading as I've...

Pretty much what I thought. I've already ordered another gig of RAM (1 to 2 gig) and was gonna change the video card. I thought the processor would be the least effective upgrade. I've got 2 UAD-1's already and I'm gonna get a magma and 2 more and hold off on the processor.

What about a 128/256 Mb Graphics card to replace my Radeon 7000 64 Mb one? Will this speed up the window re draws or is this determined by the software? By the way I'm running Cubase SX3

I'm considering upgrading my processor from a Intel P4 2.66 GHz to a new 3.06 GHz processor. Is it really worth it? I don't know enough about computers, how much difference will I notice, will it be significant? I guess numerically it just doesn't seem that much of a jump, any thoughts?

I look on this particular topic in a different way. Ok of course we are all paranoid about wrecking our gear one night in a lightening storm, but that is a 1/many many times chance (I'm sorry I haven't researched the odds properly) What I really want to know is what these 'surge protector'...

Schoeps CM6/Mk21, silk in a tube.

I had the exact same problem this week but solved it easily by getting the drummer to re-record the cymbal hits before the breaks.
