Okay...so I'm late coming in on this thread. Definitely a Great River. Or a Sytek MPX-4Aii.

Word to your legal guardian.

I was in a band that tried it before. It did give the vocals that nice, rounded tape-y sound but at the cost of too much noise. The end result was not worth it.

I met a guy today at a music store in OKC. He's a former roadie and lighting guy for many bands, most notably Sisters Of Mercy and GWAR, and also a friend of the store owner. He and the store owner are recording together and the two dudes are listening to their rough tracks on a kick-ass...

I'm having a problem with my 8pre and am not getting much help from MOTU. Before I take this to the next level, I would like to post this problem here to see if anyone has ever had this error and could help me. First, I hook up the 8pre to my MacBook (2.2 GHz processor; OS Leopard version...

Oops...lame I didn't see or realize there were two different type of Tung-Sol 12AX7's. Actually, I saw THREE different TS 12AX7's. I didn't realize the ones for $13 aren't the gold-plated ones. Thanks for calling that out, fellas. Yeah, Beni...like the man said, buy a pair for $26 and...

Start off by grabbing a pair of Tung-Sols, even the regular pair. They're definitely an improvement over those stock crapsters. You'll like the Tung-Sols in your MPA Gold. They're great tubes.

No. Mullards have gotten better in the last couple years. Tung-Sols are actually really good tubes for the price; they surprised me and my audiophile friend. You could get some NOS AX7's, but there is a less expensive alternative that is just as good. On that note... I say no. Now, if...

If you want to know more about how 12AX7's, 12AT7's, 5751's, etc. stack up against each other, check this out: Preamp Tube Gain & Compatibility. Here's a little tube test from an online dealer: 12AX7 Tube Type Review. I liked the chart they had. I have an MPA Gold and a few friends who have...

I prefer one take, and my stuff is mostly one take. I have a very strong voice and can sing all day. Otherwise, it's whatever works.

Grab a VOX, man: an AC30.

Word to your legal guardian! You should use a pair of Shure KSM137's for more expensive results.

Alright, I've seen it, but the reason I asked it this way was because I can't figure it out. It was so freakin' easy on SoundForge. The explanation at the Audacity Forums was incomplete (for me, anyway). Does anyone have a step-by-step "how to" with a few pictures, maybe?

I use Audacity from time to time and I can't figure out how to do crossfades. Can you do it in Audacity? If yes, how?

Another +1 on the Sytek. This is a great preamp. My friend has one with the Burr Brown mods on all four channels. I think it sounds excellent. Don't rule out ebay, if you're willing to take the chance. A couple weeks ago, a guy I chat with at a local store scored a Focusrite OctoPre - the...

Fisher-Price's "My First Gig"© My very first gig, sophomore year, and we're playing at my high school on a Friday night. I had three basses on stage with me so I could change out a few times...you know, to look like a rock star. This guy, Sly, was kind of an unofficial roadie. He helped with...

HA HA HA! I've been there before, man, only we played to about 10 people all night and we still got paid $500 only because we had a written agreement. He was pissed. June or July 1989. Our band (comprised of two 16-year-olds and two 17-year-olds) played this one gig at a bar/club in either...

Well, try 'em out and let us know. These Mullards are one of the highest rated new issue 12AX7's.

Yes. Mullards are great for guitar amps. Found this 12AX7 Tube Review (The Tube Store.com). It's pretty good, but it doesn't address older/NOS tubes. I'm a new owner of an ART MPA Gold. I have to say that it's far and away the best sounding stock two-channel pre under $500 I've heard or...

Less than $38.
