    Any MoreMe headphone owners here?

    Excellent for the price. Another vote for getting the extension cable with them if you don't have one. They're great workhorses for tracking and cheaply replaced. The earpiece covers could be attached more securely, which can be annoying, but at this price no one could complain.

    Difference Between Mackie 1202 VLZ and 1202 VLZ PRO

    I've heard it said by a couple of engineers I know that the original VLZ's are superior. I can't remember why, but it was convincing. I'll ask one of them next time I see them.

    Sennheiser e609 vs e609 silver

    Forgive me if I'm bringing up something that has been discussed, but I couldn't find it here. I have an e609 silver and really like it. I use it alot for recording along with another mic (usually an akg 414) a bit away from the speaker. I have noticed that some engineers use a combination of...

    Best Mixing Software

    I moved from Cool Edit 2.0 to Samplitude 7 recently and am VERY happy. Expensive, but very well put together if you don't need TOO much MIDI capabilities.

    Adobe Audition and MOTU 2408

    I couldn't get my 2408mkii to work without crackles with CEP2.0. I was just in the process of moving to Samplitude when it arrived so I didn't spend much time messing with it.

    Stereo in Adobe Audition

    You still haven't read peoples replies. Stereo does not necessarily = 'better than mono'. The only time you want to RECORD in stereo, is if there is different signals going into the left and right channels. They may only be slightly different, but in a good way. Like Bjork. Nathan

    Best mics for micing guitar amps?

    Royer R-121 for close-micing, which I have used, and really wish I hadn't 'cos I can't afford it. Earthworks QTC-1 for room micing, which I haven't used, but really want to. Ok. Fantasy over, and another vote for the E609 silver, yes it is a dynamic, and it does suit Fender amps well, I use...

    Taboo Subject (home mastering!)

    Depending on the tune, I use Ozone 3 for the EQ, often Verb ,sometime Multliband compression, occasionally Excitation, and rarely the Stereo Imaging. I then use the Waves L2 for limiting and dithering. If I don't use Ozone for verb, I often use RoomVerb. PSP VintageWarmer gets alot of use too...

    Delta 44 and Delta 66 Super Low Price

    Have both working together in one machine. They've always played nice together for me (Samplitude, Cool Edit, XP), giving total of ten i/o. Awaiting delivery of a MOTU unit so it's time for these to go. They don't have the original boxes or manuals, but I will pack them well and include a CD...

    c1 sometimes makes boxlike picture on waveform

    Ah. I think I may have misunderstood. Could you post a screenshot ? I thought you were describing 'square' waves, but maybe its bias your talking about ? (the wave doesn't have equal amplitude on each side of the 0 line)

    c1 sometimes makes boxlike picture on waveform

    It does sound like the mic is clipping. But she would have to have serious pipes to clip it if you were using the -20bp pad, surely ? Nathan

    Musicians Friend price matching.

    I agree, I thought the same thing while I was emailing them...but to be fair to them, they replied to my email and included a ref. no. that could be quoted over the phone when ordering. This number is valid for two weeks and will get me $100 off their list price ($400). And they'll ship to...

    Upgrading motherboard\CPU - Advice ?

    Looks like it. I think I'll hold out and do a proper upgrade when I have the money. I am wary of voltage diffences in power supplies when ordering from U.S. sites, do you know of a good european online supplier ? Thanks again either way; that last post clarified my options a lot. pAp

    Upgrading motherboard\CPU - Advice ?

    Thanks guys. This is my Motherboard apparantly.... Can't find a site for that will tell me what processors this motherboard will accept. Anybody know of anywhere ? I don't really want to buy a new motherboard of possible, or a new power supply. Is it too much to expect to be able to slot a new...

    Upgrading motherboard\CPU - Advice ?

    Ok, I have an AMD Duron 1Ghz with 512MB RAM. I'm running XP and have two hardware profiles, as I need to use the same machine for some other stuff besides audio. I checked out the demo of Samplitude and was really impressed (currently using Cool Edit), but I was getting dropouts in the audio...

    newbie help (a lot of questions!)

    There are alot of options out there. You would do well to use the SEARCH facility and just run the words 'best soundcard' through the Newbies forum. What type of mixer you currently own is an issue, as is how many tracks you need to record at the same time as well as what type of room you have...

    Hi all, I got to cash together for a CAD M9 after seeing the special offer on 8thstreet. While going through the ordering process I discovered that they don't ship outside the U.S. and Canada... remembering MF's claim to be able to match or beat any price, I emailed them with 8th streets price...
