    Yes, Hixmix, I believe the proper name is Josephine Meek. A lovely girl by all accounts.

    Made the purchase I bought a dbx286A at Mars along with a Audio-Technica AT4033a mic - the lot for $450- I had read the review on the dbx376 and they had one, but I didn't need the extra bells. The AT with the dbx sounds great - nice clean alternative to the Meek track pack I was using. Not a...

    By the way MnCheetah I forgot to say thanks for the suggestion on the Mindprint Envoice. I'll check out the reviews.

    Check the Focusrite Penta out - $495 list looks like this thing does it all- class A mic pre-amp, mono & stereo compressor presets (or manual), imager, adjustable tube sound, XLR inputs on front panel, can be used as a front end, or on mixing or mastering. Sure looks good on the website...

    How about ART? How about the ART MP Tube or Studio pre? Seems inexpensive and pretty good reviews. Any other suggestions in the $300 to $600 range? I think I've ruled the Presonus Blue Tube out - too noisy for vocals from what I've read on this site and in Recording Mag.

    To VC1Q or not to VC1Q that is the question- I've been thinking about getting one as well. I don't have the techical knowledge on these things but I do know I like the sound of the VC3Q and would like to take a step up. It looks like the 1Q's are in the right price range. I read in another...

    JoeMeek preamp :cool: I use a VC3Q - it's a warm sounding pre-amp - hard to describe how it colors the sound- but great for computer recording because it brings some warmth into a cold environment. The built-in compression/equalization is nice as long as you don't overuse the compression -...

    Alesis M1 Actives- should I bail?

    I'll have to trust you Mike Thanks for the encouragement, Mike. To tell you the truth, I've read lots of reviews on monitors in that price range - Tannoys, Event, etc. and none are as good as the reviews on the Alesis. I need to get the best bang for the buck (who doesn't) so I told my Full...

    Alesis M1 Actives- should I bail?

    I ordered a pair of M1 Actives from Full Compass and their rep told me today they're on back order until JULY 9! Now I hear Alesis is going belly up. Should I still buy them or pull the plug and go with Tannoys? Damn this pisses me off. Everything I read on the M1s was good.

    The "Meekrophone" microphone- what's the word on it?

    Thank you David. I read a good review on it and I jm making the same assumption: that the Meek people would ensure quality.

    my soundcard sucks,any suggestions?

    The SoundBlaster Live runs at 96db which results in rather poor headroom. You're not going to find what you need (at least not new) in the $50-$100 price range. I use an Echo Gina with great results, but it may be to pricey for you. Echo has another 24/96 card it just came out with called the...

    The "Meekrophone" microphone- what's the word on it?

    Has anyone used the Joe Meek JM47 Meekrophone? I would be using it for vocals and acoustic guitar along with the Joe Meek VC3Q preamp/compressor.
