    Sonudcraft 328XD whats the catch?

    I use the 328 (not the XD), and minus the fact the mine doesn't have 96k, it's the most functional small format digital mixer I've ever used. The pres rock, I can automate anything, and minus a little interconnectivity problems with Nuendo, I can do most anything with it. If you have any...

    Eric Clapton In a Stomp Box...

    I can get Eric Clapton in a stompbox?!?!?! Wow, how do they fit him in there??!?! :eek: I can't wait for the Hendrix one, if not just to see how poorly they "reproduce" his sound.

    Yes!!! Korg Oasys

    Hmm, anyone have a couple thousand dollars they can lend to a poor, starving musician? Just kidding, but this synth looks rather amazing. Or something. It has so many features, I'm going to assume it's good and want one.

    Fender Jazz - why did I wait so long?

    Good job on the find! I use a MIM Fender Jazz for recording, and no matter what the style, it ALWAYS works in the mix. This fact actually dissapoints me a little, as my Warwick Thumb often as not has to sit in the corner (it works for some things, but it seems to be very picky.) I've had mine...

    Roland Cube 30 1x10" 30W for recording?

    Well, as people said before, this is a subjective topic, but I'd have to say the best small (30w) amp I have ever played is the Mesa F-30. The first time I tried one about a year ago, I wasn't too impressed, so I left the whole Mesa line alone. But about 3 months ago, I realized I needed an...

    Titanium cymblas

    On my set, I tend to rotate cymbals a lot, and I currently have the Titanium ZXTs, and I don't think they are that bad, minus the ride. I like the High-hat, the crash is ok, and the splash is a splash. BUT, they record really well. So if you intend to record with them, I'd say go for it, but...

    Dimebag Darrel slain....

    What is this world coming to? We're loosing good musicians left and right, and even though I never got into Pantera, I had great respect for Dimebag, especially his willingness to teach and support budding guitarists. Ah, damn. This sucks.

    Do u monitor with the EQ Flat?

    From what I understand, EQ'ing your output to the monitors is a HORRIBLE idea, especially if your room sounds bad. By making it sound good in one spot, it will sound even worse in other spots, and that is not what you want. No one sits perfectly still, and even by moving your head, there is...

    A career in mixing?

    Wow.... I wasn't sure what to expect, seeing as how sometimes people have to run the gauntlet for things like this, but you people are great. Blue Bear, Thanks for a reality check. It may not necessarily be what I want to hear, but it is what I need to hear. Ronan and Giles, you bring up a...

    A career in mixing?

    Let me start this off with a statement: I hate tracking. Hate it with a passion. I can get the sounds I want, but to be honest, there are people who are much more dedicated than I to setting up mics, plugging things in, and pressing the red button. I do it all the time, but I don't think...

    Forget guitars, buy a Sitar!

    Rogue is the company that makes the MF electric sitar, but they're (most likely) crap. The only electric sitars that I am aware of which offer a good value are the Jerry Jones, and I've never actually played one. But for the record, bagpipes rock.

    Keyboard for eastern tonal scales?

    Hey HairWuzEre, welcome to the BBS! I'm going to add in that the Yamaha Motif ES series can also do some interesting things, scale wise. Some of the "Non-Western" patches are set up so that you can hit all the microtones. It makes for a weird experience, as you hit two keys next to each other...

    Public Mix Contest #4!!!!

    Hey everyone, just want to toss in my mix to the mix, so to speak. I would like to post a test mp3, to see what people think, but as I can't do that right now, I've e-mailed it to Giles. If someone knows how I can post this as a test mix, please tell, and if not, then this is my final mix. By...

    Why do I need to use "Real Time Export" when exporting audio I've recorded myself?

    I'm only familiar with Nuendo, but I know in the export dialog, you have the choice of what will be exported. Therefore, if you have everything routed to the stereo track output, then you set the export settings to stereo out. If things are routed differently, you can reroute them to the...

    Yamaha & Cubase

    I owned a 16g not too long ago, so I might be able to answer some of these questions. Here goes: 1: The easiest way I've found to sync things up is just manually adjust the wav files until they match up with the click, as in move them in Cubase. Zoom in real close, and nudge (I'm not sure if...

    Audigy 2 ZS - ASIO driver latency

    I can't give you exact numbers for latency, as I'm in the process of reinstalling everything after a HD crash, but from my somewhat limited experience, the latency was rather poor. This is in reference to the Audigy 2 EX, not the newer ZS, but I don't believe they have changed much since then...

    Digitech RP7 vs. Line 6 pod 2.

    Tonelab etc One thing people tend to forget about the Tonelab is that it reacts more as an amp would, not as a processor. It's still within boundaries, but the tone controls, gain, and VR gain all change the sound similar to the amps in question. I don't have much experience with the POD, but...

    Guitar distortion plugins!?

    Just recently I got to try out Guitar Rig, by Native Instruments, and it blew me away. Very flexible, and the amps sounded great. I only got to try it at a music store, mind you, but even in that environment it sounded good. I Think the biggest issue people have with this is the time it can...
