The N-Track compressor is just a demo version. If you want to use it you have to pay an extra 30$ or so (don't remember). Check the fasoft.com site for more information. Oren

A pair of 1006s would do you just fine, then. They are not that great on female vocals, but for male vocals I (personally) love them. If you want to hear what it sounds like, check out my page http://www.nowhereradio.com/Eejit/singles In "Walking on Broken Glass" the 1006 was used on the lead...

While it's nothing to write home about, the MXL-1006 will be adequate for most of your recording needs (vocals, accoustic guitar, drum overhaeds, room mike). I do not like it on a guitar amp (not as a main mike at least. It's great as a room mike). If you work on mic placement, you can get...

Capturing a good keyboard sound is not as trivial as it sounds. If you are used to hearing your keyboard through a keyboard amp or built in speakers, the sound of a DI recoding is going to be VERY different. I'm not saying better or worse, just different. If the DI sounds too sterile, or "In...

I've done the same thing with a pair of MXL-1006s. THese mics fed one Minidisk recorder, and I took another MD that got a feed from the FOH desk. At home I re-recorded the 2 versions of the recording into my computer, synced the two files with n-track, and mixed to taste. The result was more...

the 8738 (is my memory serves me correctly) just doesn't work with Win2K or XP. I have one of these on a computer I have that I use as a word processor and a CD player, and it can't play wave files without poping or clicking. Even the latest C-Media drivers don't work. I don't even try anymore...

Don't. Dynamics are a big part of keyboard playing, and the pianist would not appreciate you killing them :) . Just have him play as loud as he's going to play, and allow 2dB or so of head room. Oren

While the Behringer pres are Ok. for condenser microphones, they don't really do justice to dynamics, such as the SM-57. Someone once said here (I don't remember who), that dynamics are in general more sensitive to the quality of the pre-amp used. Even a cheap DMP-2/Audio Buddy will...

1006 I have the MXL 1006. In fact, it's the only condenser I have except these homebrew ECMs I built yesterday. I like it a lot on baritone voices and love it on an accoustic guitar. I used it once on a drum set but since it's a crappy set in any case, I don't know how good the mics are. I used...

Hi Erland, Great to hear your music again. I took a few days and came to my parents' place, where all my recording gear is. I'm getting ready to play live again once my exams are over. The song is awsome. The fact that it's kinda different than your usual style only adds to it. Keep it up! Oren

Hi Guys, I just built a pair of these homebrew ECMs and was reALly surprised by the results. The Behringer ECMs cost about 100$ each here, so the value for money can't be beat. It gave me the urge to build a dosen of them, in several configurations. I do have a couple of questions, though: 1)...

Hey keilson, Is that a gas mask on top of the speaker? :D Oren

The pre-amps on the Duo are pretty dark, compared to, let's say my Behringer mixer (I don't have anything else to compare it to). Maybe you could get a brighter pre (Not that I'm suggesting you get a Behrigner mixer, God forbid...). I love the Duo on rock guitars and vocals, but I can see why it...

Thanks guys! I did, in fact, forgot to change the sampling rate in Sound Forge to 48Khz instead of 44.1... However, n-Track *was* set to 48, so I don't really understand what the problem is. I'll do some further investigation... Oren

Still wrestling with my first S/PDIF experience... I had already bought 2 "digital cables" from a home theater store. One is actually a Monster cable (JR-9502. 2 Meters long), and with both of them it's pop and click city... I did, however manage to get good results with an oooooold standard...

Not if you'll stick to standard wiring: Pin 1 - Ground (Sleeve) Pin 2 - Tip (Hot) Pin 3 - Ring (Cold) I've made cables like that in the studio I used to work in, and it worked great. Oren

Well, it does have a digital bracket, and it DOES work with the native XP drivers. It's the Creative Labs updated drivers that won't work from some reason.....

Again, I had tried this before. It's not the the S/PDIF box is not checked in that menu. It is just not there! Weird as it gets.... Oren

The best thing you can do with a Duo is burn it or use it as a paper weight. I still couldn't find the proper way to use.

Thanks for the reply guys, I was out of town for a week (usualy am...) Here's the thing - while using XP's native drivers, the S/PDIF appears just fine (I was aware that it is muted, or invisible by default). If I install Creative's driver pack, including the soundfont an Environmental Audio...
