I am thinking about purchasing a 528E, and would like some input from those of you who have experience with it (Dolemite, et al). Let me bore you with some information in order to explain how this unit will be used. First, I have very little experience with sound engineering and no experience...

I need a mic pre, EQ, and comp/limiter in order to record palatable vocal tracks, and don’t know enough about it to make an intelligent choice. I am using an EV RE20 and have a SB PCI 64D card. The mic is LoZ, with an XLR cable; the sound card has 1/8” mic and line inputs. I am wondering...

I saw Alison Krause at the Murat in Indianapolis last night. I was a little disappointed in her vocal sound throughout the night until, when the band came out to do a couple encore numbers they all gathered around a KSM 32 – Alison in the middle and the two guitar players on either side. The...

Can anyone tell me how to use Fruity Loops with Cakewalk PA8? My set-up is this: 450MHz Pentium III, 128 MB RAM, SB PCI 64D.

I am using an Electro Voice RE20, plugged straight into a SB PCI 64 card (via adapters). The signal is not great, but I don’t want to invest in a mic pre just yet. I do, however, want to get a better sound card and am leaning toward the Lynx One. According to the Lynx One spec sheet available...

Can one connect a mic pre with unbalanced ¼” outs to a sound card with XLR ins, without appreciable loss in signal quality? How?

I am preparing to order a pair of monitor speakers that are equipped with banana plug connectors. Four questions: 1) Does it make sense to pay an extra $22.50 for 15', 12-AWG custom-made cables with banana plugs at one end and bare wires at the other (my amp speaker outs only accept bare wires)...

Can a Sony CD Walkman, or a SB PCI 64, drive a pair of 600-Ohm headphones to sufficient listening level? I want to get a pair of Beyer DT990 Pros, and see how some well-produced CDs sound on them. But I don't know much the higher impedence (the headphones I have now are 24-Ohm) will affect the...

I see that Pro-Co makes an XLR-to-miniplug mic cable. Will one be able to plug a mic directly into a SB PCI 64 card with this, without using an impedence-matching transformer?

Will a Sony CD Walkman push a pair of 600 Ohm phones to sufficient listening level?

Is it true that Sonar includes instrument sounds (DXi softsynths), and you don't need a soundcard with GM Instrument sounds?

I'm considering purchasing one of these two units as a cheaper, more immediate alternative to an ART Pro MPA/Pro VLA combination. Can anybody give me some personal insight into the good, the bad, and the ugly regarding these dbx units?

Those of you who are using any of the various SoundBlaster products (SB16, SB512, SBLive!5.1, Extigy, or Audigy), please tell me: 1)why you chose the one you did; 2)whether it lives up to your expectations; 3)what you would do differently next time, if anything.

Anybody have any experience with the Monitor Ones or Monitor One MKIIs?

Do these have mic pres with XLR ins?

How good are the Monitor One MKIIs? And, do they come in 4- and 8-Ohm impedences?

With the help of this forum I have been able to convert a mix in .wav to .mp3, only to discover that the file is still to large (6.5MB) to send via my hotmail account. Converted to .rm, it is smaller (928KB) than the allowable maximum (1024KB), but still won't attach. Can anyone explain why? Any...

1) Is there a way to convert Wave files or RealMedia files to MP3? I’m using Pro Audio 8 and it doesn’t offer MP3 conversion. 2) How does one post these files on the Forum? 3) How long should I expect it to take to upload a six-minute song with a 56K phone modem?
