Congrats! On all points! I hate poor interface designs. In fact, I use Cubase SX all the time, and it has this little quirk. When you hit the "z" key, without any modifier or anything, it collapses all the tracks. I really hate that! Maybe I can modify that in the preferences... Glad to hear...

I recently upgraded to the new(er) 828MKII, so I'm selling the old reliable MKI. It works great, sounds good, I used it with my Soundcraft board, and used the ADAT input for my Mackie Onyx 800r. It's a very solid unit, never had it hang or crash. You can download the current drivers, etc. at...

Just my $.02 here. I think that cracks can hurt the industry, BUT, I also think that cracks serve a purpose. I've used FMP, for instance, in businesses. The first copy I used was a COPY, from a friend. Once I learned it a bit, liked, and decided I wanted to use it, I ended up paying full price...

Yes, two things when you first start cubase: LE works like Cubase SX 1 did, where you have to select the input at the channel in the mixer. You can't select the same input to go to more than one track at the same time. To turn on all of your inputs, you have to go into the Devices menu, to VVST...

This mic is in pristine condition, comes with the spider mount, and a hard case. Great sounding mic, but just a little out of my price range (wife's pregnant!) This is a great deal, I'm asking only $1500, shipped in the USA. PM me with your email for pictures. Thanks!

I used this on drums sometimes, bass sometimes, even vocals on occasion. Works fine, sounds as good as it can for the price. I'm movin' on up, to a delux compressor in the sky... Well, anyway, it's yours for $75, shipped in the USA. (I also have a Groove Tubes Glory Comp, if you want something...

This is a Yamaha mixer, with 8 mic pre's and two stereo inputs. It has digital effects, and would be a good front end to a small DAW setup (allowing submixes, headphone mixes, etc.) I'm asking $225, shipped in the USA. It's pretty straightforward, Yamaha has since replaced these with the MG...

I've recently ugraded to some new A/D, so I'm selling my old units: The Behringer ADA-8000 is $150, shipped in the USA The MOTU 828 MKI is $225, shipped in the USA. I'm in Phoenix, AZ, FYI. I'll consider interesting trades, as well!

So, are you still using the 828s? I'm looking at a few options, I have a Yamaha GF 16/12 mixer, and an ATI M880-2 8 channel pre, but I'd really like something that is smooth and preserves transients well. How do the tracks stack up during mixdown? And have you tracked any drums? Thanks!

The Toneport works really nicely on the Mac. I've read about some issues on the PC side... I don't know of another option in that price range, at least not with the modelling capabilites thrown in. I don't usually use the Toneport as an interface, though. I use it as a processor, then bring it...

I have the UX2, and while it isn't a magic bullet (and no, it doesn't sound like the real gear, any more than the gitar amp models sound like the real thing), it does sound good, and has enough flexibility that you can find a setting that works with most mic/singer combinations. I've used it as...

FS: Fostex VF160 w/CD-R $375 - Lower Price! I've got a Fostex VF-160 with the CD-R option, and a 30 gig drive (which can be upgraded.) Asking $375. I'll pay shipping in the USA. I take paypal, you can check my feedback on eBay, username: themiclocker I've tested it, and it's working fine...

On another path entirely, he could consider a Line6 Toneport. The single channel model is only $99, and it's a very usable little unit. I have one (for emergency guitars, primarily), and I have actually used it to track vocals with a lot of success. It gives you a lot of flavors to play with...

Well the Rane is about $130, and pretty highly regarded. Outside of that, the Yamaha Pres are going to be very decent, and absolutely usable. I have a GF 16/12 and I think the pre's are pretty good. Low noise, decent headroom, and they seem to reproduce the very low bass frequencies more than...

I haven't used one myself, but I've heard very good things about the Rane MS1b mic preamp. Some consider it to be one of the best pre's under $500...

I do something similar all the time when tracking bands. The mics go into the mixer>XLR I use a 1/4" patch cable pushed halfway into the insert for each channel. I plug the other end of the 1/4" patch cable into the inputs on my audio interface (the VF160 has 8 inputs, so you should be able...

You do! There are a couple of sites that outline how to make a pad, but basically, it's just a couple of resistors, one in line with the positive side of the mic, and one between the positive and negative sides. The ratio of the resistors determines the amount of attenuation. I'm sure there...

It's by no means a professional solution, but I've know a few bands that have had surprisingly good luck with the Sony stereo mic, made for mounting on camcorders. You might need a pad to bring the level down a bit (if you're as loud as my band!), but they work decently...

+1 for BmC_41 Just did a nice trade with BmC_41, shipped out quickly, well packaged, etc. Enjoy the Brick!

This 12 channel mixer features 4 of the new Onyx pre's, and has been used very little. It was purchased not long ago, and will come in the original box, etc. Perfect for solo artists, or small groups. You can get the Firewire card from your Mackie dealer, and record directly to your DAW...
