Im collaborating with another musician across the country. We want to transfer WAV files, back and forth with relative ease and convience online. Im interested to know - for those of you who work this way -what methods have you tried? Is there anyway to FTP files directly from one computer to...

So, I took my Studio Projects B1 LDC out of storage (3 months or so), anxious to try out some new snare miking techniques, and it literally sounds like a tornado is swirling around inside the mic! I can hear the intended source signal, but it is drowned out by the windy sound. Preamps/cables...

So, is their a concensus with this mic yet among users (i.e. versatile workhorse, or, particularly good on some things but not others)? Is it a good value, and what others would you be considering in its price range (new and used prices)? Other than having the tube, is there anything else that...

Anyone know any details on these tom drums? Sound/quality etc?

If im moving from a 24bit device to 16 device bit via optical cable with no dithering employed, what do you really hear as a result? I've heard the term "grainy" used to describe this. Is this an obvious "grainy" sound...or is it a not so obvious sound ('not so obvious example': simply tracking...

Hey y'all: I've got a PIV 2.4Mhz hyperthreading, 800FSB, Intel 865GLC computer. So far, i've got a single stick of 512mb DDR333mhz ram installed. This motherboard will actually run the ram at 320mhz (since it's optimized for DDR400). It runs very well as is; but at 24 tracks with 30 or so WAVES...

I currently got a stick of this in my comp: KVR333X64C25/512 512MB 333MHz DDR PC2700 DIMM CL2.5 Standard 64M X 64 Non-ECC 333MHz 184-pin Unbuffered DIMMSDRAM-DDR, 2.5V, CL2.5, Gold Will that stick be compatible with this stick?: KVR400X64C3A/512 512MB 400MHz DDR PC3200 DIMM 3-3-3 Standard...

Im collecting inexpensive kit pieces here and there to record my demo's with. Im not a drummer, so im not really educated with the history of some of these drums/cymbals. I know what my ears tell me about this equipment, and now im interested in the history/lineage of this stuff. Any one know...

Im currently working with a fostex 16 bit digital mixer (records at 20bits, and dithers to 16). In order to use several external preamps at once, i've got to run them in through the fostex preamp inputs (with the gain off). This mixer has an optical input as well; what difference in sound will...

I may need to convert a coxial signal (spdif) to optical (spidf). My question is, will any reasonably made convertor box do this, or do cheaper ones mess with the signal integrity? For example, is this a piece of crap to stay away from...

I just read a review on SOS stating that the CAD m179 was pretty close to the AT4050. I've never used either mic, but I've heard vocal tracks done with the 4050, and i dig em. I've got a hunch that there's a bit of hype behind the claim that the 4050 and 179, but for those of you who have used...

This is ticking me off! One of my pre's is doing something weird. With a condenser mic hooked up, and phantom power turned on, the signal i am hearing is hissy (big noise floor), 'thin' sounding, and the clip light on the preamp is on constantly. When I hook up a dynamic to the same preamp...

Three questions: 1) Is he 528 (the version with the screws on the back for connections, not the 528E) line output (1/4 jack) balanced or unbalanced? 2) Are the the connections on the back 'normalled' (i.e. all the processors will work with no connections made between the posts)? 3) If you opt...

"Hendrix". Worst movie, ever. Really, as far as these kind of movies go, this is a good example of “as bad as it gets”. It’s almost a parody. Jimi must be rolling in his grave. How do movies like this get made? I had a feeling this thing was going to be bad, but this was brutal. Jeez…bad acting...

This in an ALTEC 1650 EQ unit. I want to wire it up unbalanced, but im not really sure what the proper wiring configuration is (e.g. do i use the 600 or 1500 ohm's terminals; should 21+ or 1+ dbm be selected; and what is that bridging resistor on the output for)? It also came with a line...

So i guess im on a bit of a symetrix kick. I found locally for sale an old symetrix 528. Out of all the one's i've seen though, this is the first with an all green construction. Were these the first units in production? Are they the same as the blue/grey 528 (without the "e")? I looked it...

I want you to discuss your experiences with the symetrix 501 on vocals! I’ve been using it for bass/percussion mostly, and decided to give it a whirl on some female vocal takes some weeks ago. This is what I noticed as I fiddled for settings: With everything disengaged (the compressor &...

Hey y'all; I've got 2 hard drives installed in my Win XP, PIV machine. One harddrive gets used for WAV file storage. I use the computer for non-audio stuff too, so i find that sometimes 2 drives (plus a installed jaz drive) always running gets a little noisy. Is there anyway i can turn one of...

Who here uses the dbx 160VU on vocals? What are your results like? Thanks, T
