I'm looking at getting an MR8 mkII as a songwriting scratch-pad. It seems to have the features I want for that purpose. I know of a few people that don't particularly care for them, but I'm just wondering if its mostly the feature limitations people have an issue with or if there are bigger...

I want a compact multitrack for jotting down song ideas. My requirements are minimal: 2-channel record, 4 total tracks. The simpler the better (i.e. I don't want to have to navigate a lot of menus). The smaller the better. The quieter the better (i.e. compact flash - no drives, no fans)...

Pretty funny stuff... http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/interviews/c/case_neko-06/ "And if Celine Dion is supposedly the great singer that she says she is why is there auto tune on every fucking word in her songs? Can't you just hit it, Celine? Do you have another baby book to shoot? You gotta...

I noticed in the latest Sweetwater spam that they advertise the AKG 414 B-XL II as having "updated vintage sound". I'm not sure what it is, but something about me finds that amusing.

I want to get a Microkorg. All the online retailers have them for $399. There must be some place I can save a few extra bucks on a new one, but where?

A while ago, somebody posted the name of a dealer that offered really good prices on Gretsch guitars, but I forget the name of the dealer and can't seem to find the original post. Does anybody know of a dealer that offers super good deals on Gretsch?

What options are there out there? Which do you prefer? I'm not looking for long delay times or huge functionality. Just something that does one thing really well. And, preferably, something that is sturdy, easily portable and very reliable (so an old Echoplex is probably out of the...

What's the best thing to buy? I've seen a lot of people recommend a lot of things, but really, what's the best thing? I'm mostly recording screamo.

Are there any? It's not so much a matter of cost as just hassle. When buying from the U.S., there are customs clearance fees. They usually aren't significant (unless you use UPS - never do that), but you have to pay them before you get your stuff. Which means I have to be around, and might...

Apparantly Windows XP SP2 has a new firewire implementation that is negatively impacting on all sorts of devices, including audio interfaces, making them inoperable under SP2. From what I've been able to gather, Microsoft doesn't see it as a bug, but rather as a new way of dealing with...

I'm thinking of buying a MOTU 896HD. Assuming I'm running Windows XP, Cubase SX3 and have a motherboard with a Texas Instruments 1394 chip, is this thing going to be rock solid? I've heard of stability issues with MOTU on PC's, but I think a lot of that might have been with the PCI cards or with...

I want a couple of cheap multi-pattern condensors for my 2-track singer/songwriter demo rig. One would be for vocals (mostly male), one for acoustic guitar. I want multi-pattern so that I can do the figure-8 null trick. I'm thinking of a Studio Projects C3 for vocals and a B3 for acoustic...

Can anybody tell me the difference between the VF80 and VF160 series recorders, and the new versions with the "EX" extension in the model number? Fostex doesn't seem to say anything about it on their website.
