Nothing, thats exactly what I'm doing for now. Just trying to save time having to mess with the mic inputs vs. making a quick swap at the preamp inputs.

All, I have a quick question RE: how to make my life easier when using my mic preamp. The MPA gold has the mic inputs in the back, since my unit is racked it makes getting to the inputs really hard. So I was thinking of just using my patchbay and working the inputs thru there. I was thinking...

Jmorris just forget what I said, i guess I just got a little irritated. But honestly man I cant afford telefunkens right now and the rubys are doin fine for now.

First of do you have an MPA ? Have you seen the stock tubes? Secondly I already had the Rubys from a previous preamp, so it's not like I went out threw more money down. Yes the Rubys are Chinese, but one look at them and you can see it's a better quality tube. The stockers look like they have...

how much is inspiration and talent? and where can you buy it? ok. joking aside, I didnt see any midi gear for your studio, although your style of music might dictate how much you would use midi. It's still a very nice option to add synths and other things. I would say invest in a decent midi...

Yea they do, but my gosh talk bout work, I had to level each phrase, sometimes each word. I had to compress alot and really work with them... And while the second jam is essentially done. THe other was done on the fly to test the unit. Thanks Man, thats a great compliment coming from a fellow...

Hmm, I didnt add in my guitars or my personal rig, I didnt consider it part of the actual recording studio. But I suppose as far as investment I could easily add in another 4k on top of what I polled. SO i guess im closer to the 10k mark.

Thanks - ONly the vocals on "so sweet" are thru the ART. The other jam was done all thru the beri and a AT small condenser, not bad huh? :P Lots of post processing though. "So sweet" jam required very little EQ, very little COMP, and just a tad of Verb. Replacing the tubes was a snap. Really...

I'm broke now but I have a new ART MPA Gold. I like it alot....but then again I'm a noob... I'd like to add the M audio DMP3 at some point, but we'll see.....

If any wants to listen up for a quick example of what the ART sounds like. BTW only the vocals were done with the MPA. Amazingly enuff the rest was done on the Beri's preamps. :P We did this last night to break in the unit :) its rather simple but a decent example...

GOod for you man...Just want to mention again that the MPA was designed for 12AX7A tubes, yes the 12AT7s will work but will give you a lower output. So in the end you are trying to squeeze more level out of the tubes, hence where the hiss and extra noise might be coming from. You should try a...

My new ART MPA Gold arrived today, I immediately swapped both tubes out with Ruby 12AX7A C Tubes, they are still Chinese but better quality control. At least thats what I found from online info. I took a look at the stockers, real junk. The rubys had way better construction appearance. I was...

I did name genres don't be so close minded. I was just wondering if it was better to track dry when capturing amps that are known for their verbs, like a twin. Sorry I didn't explain it better. I know there is no rules just wondering how to approach it.......

I know this seems obvious but whats the best approach when recording a nice combo such as a clean gtr with an awesome amp like a fender twin. Dry or Wet? Is amp verb good or bad, or does it come down to what sound you are going for? Gtr players will most definitely want it wet, but is better...

Rami NICE! I mentioned this was on there too, I just didnt have time to type it up. But yea the sweeps are over the 1kHz.

I'll just say I'm no pro but I got flammed for just saying and typing 3630...:mad: Apparently this is the worst compressor you can get...:rolleyes: But IMO, as long as you know of it's faults you can still use it at your advantage. According to many here the 3630 is very breathy and unmusical...

Guys, Just thought I would share this little guide I found in a mix article good place to tweak the EQ for different instruments. Good Starting Points never could memorize these so it's handy having them printed. Enjoy Bass 35Hz - 250Hz Cello 60Hz - 1kHz Violin...

It's locked like suggested @ 24 bit / 44.1, been tracking for a few days now and I have noticed more headroom and less noise. Overall those 2 things have made it easier to capture good tracks that sit well in the mix. And it almost seems unbelievable, but i can almost swear more cpu was being...

All this is great info guys! but throwing it in the closet was easier! And if it dies oh well, good thing I have 3 seperate drives for OS, Files, back ups! THanks!

You say most..not all, eventually PCI is going to be phased out. The machine I use was basically thrown together from spare parts. P4 2.8, 2GB Ram, 3 40GB HDDs, AGP and PCI cards for dual monitors. I back up frequently to my external drive just in case. Honestly I only have bout $200 in the...
