    VS 1680 vs KorgD16

    Get to a reputable music dealer and demo both of them. Spend at least an hour with each machine. Aks questions. Above all, let your ears be the judge (use the same monitors with each machine if possible). If you decide to go with the Roland, consider getting the 1880 instead of the 1680. The...

    Pro's Prefer CD Mastering at 1X...and can hear the difference.

    I think the biggest problem is when the disk is burned at one speed and then the duplicator reads it at another. Cetainly this could cause read errors and degradation in sound. If the bit is a 1 and it's read as a 0, "it ain't what was recorded." Everyone has their own theories. I prefer...

    Storing Input Setting on a vs1680?

    EzyRouting works fast, but does it recall EQ and EFX settings? I can't remember. Another method would be to store your current setup as a scene, Save the song, and then when creating a new song, load the song that has the "saved" scene. Then specify "Copy Mixer Scene/PRM." The new song will...

    POPS AND CLICKS!! THIS IS SERIOUS!! I'VE GOT DEMOS TO DO!!

    I'd start by replacing the digital cable. You should be using 75 ohm video cable or digital , not standard audio cable to transfer digitally.

    dbx 386 preamp?

    I like mine a lot. The digital output is great. Type IV conversion really sounds good. If you want more tube coloration just drive the input a little more. For a cleaner, less colored sound, back off the input drive and up the output. At the digital output the Type IV conversion really starts...

    Where can I get a digital cable?

    There are many outlets available for coaxial cable. Try Mars Music, Guitar Center, etc. or do what I did, go to Walmart and but a high quality video cable. They are pretty much all the same, with the exception on the Moster Cable stuff, which in my opinion, is overkill unless you've got a $100k...

    Warming up tracks with a tube preamp like ART?

    sonusman, you are correct. I read the MP manual and it states: "The clip LED is positioned at the tube's output circuitry and lights when a level 6dB below hard clipping dB is reached." (notice it doesn't say what color) I notice that when I push the input, it first lights amber, then red, so I...

    Warming up tracks with a tube preamp like ART?

    Yes, the ART MP can be used with both mic and line levels, according to ART. Be sure you pad the incoming level and most importantly, make sure you don't clip the signal. A big misconception that people have about the unit is that they can push the levels and overdrive the tube, but in fact, the...

    Heavy MP3s! Which one's the Line6?

    Thanks, appreciate the compliments. The glass was a sample, although there have been times when I thought someone was going to break a beer bottle at rehearsal. There was also some bass guitar feedback right there too (imagine that..) I struggle the most with bass (frequencies) in the mix...

    Looping question

    The Loop function on the VSxxx series is not designed to loop recorded data the same way an application like Acid does. It is designed to be used when overdubbing a part where you would want to do multiple takes until you get a performance you like. I use it in conjuction with AutoPunch when I...

    Heavy MP3s! Which one's the Line6?

    I'm a new Line6 AX2 amp owner (2 months) and love it! I recorded the guitar tracks on my band's CD using either my ADA MP-1 or a Marshall JCM800, but when I got the AX2 i had to go back and redo some tracks. Anyway, I think they turned out well. If you like heavy alternative music (we call it...
