Check out http://www.live365.com and search for artists you want to hear. I don't know of any that let you choose specifically what groups you want to hear, but maybe you'll find a station that plays all King Crimson (or insert artist name) all the time.
I've worked in radio since 1983. Every station I've worked at, including my current station, squashes the living daylights out of everything. There are reasons for doing this, but I strongly recommend not mastering music so it sounds like what you hear on the radio. The station will do that for...
I know it doesn't look like anything special, but I have been very impressed with the Korg Ampworks for Guitar.

If you can play with one at a local music store, check it out. I spent about 30 minutes with it locally before buying...
That's the conclusion I was coming to. I have heard that the plugins that come with it are pretty killer, but that pretty much makes them killer plugins with a PCI dongle that happens to have DSP on it. :) Still, one guy I know here in my town that has the UAD-1 has four of them and and is...
Thanks for the reply. Yep, I understand you still need Digi hardware to run ProTools. No prob there. But if I *add* a UAD-1 card to the system (that is, in addition to an MBox or 002R), it is basically doing what the Accel cards would do, right? Running plugins on the DSP of the card instead of...
Hi there,
The advantages of ProTools TDM versus LE are not just track limitations and price, but the DSP cards for running plugins.
I know this could sound very elementary (my dear Watson), but could the UAD-1 be considered an "Accel Junior" card for PT LE? Isn't that what the Accel cards do...
Sounds like you are looking for a control surface. The ones from Digidesign are pretty cool from the demos I've seen. Check this out:

If you ever take the leap into TDM, I think you can use this unit with it as well.
Personally, I picked up a...
Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I keep reading that the unit is great with live sound, but that's not the intended purpose.
No, I'm not so rich that $250 doesn't mean something. It's just a whole let less than the cost of Waves.
Finalizer Jr....that would be a good way to state what I...
Hey there,
Searching for posts on this unit from Behringer yields some favorable comments. I've talked to a couple of local guys that have used and like it too. The biggest downside that keeps surfacing is that it is made by Behringer. :) I've got other Behringer gear and am pleased with it, so...
Hey there,
I pulled my Q10 out of the computer to ship to a friend who is interested in buying it. Prior to that, both the Q10 and MBox drivers were listed as devices in Vegas 5. Now that the Q10 is uninstalled, the MBox isn't available. It's not available in Acid 4 either. Oddly enough, it...
I would recommend downloading each software and trying them out for yourself to be sure. You might find that you want to use them both.
Theoretically, you could use loops with nTrack if you just paste them back to back to back on a track. You might ask that in the nTrack forum.
I have used...
Dude, I just went through a similar thing in the Midi forum. I bought the USB connectable Behringer BCF2000 midi control surface. It was $200 new and works with ProTools LE 6.4. You need to have the latest firmware from the Behringer website, AND some files in certain locations on your hard...
It sounds like you are mainly recording yourself. That is, you are not composing anything with loops. Is that right? If that is the case, and you want to spend minimal $$$, then I agree with crankz that nTrack is a great option. Acid is great if you're using mostly loops (which doesn't sound...
Got it working!
Ha! I sure hope someone else can benefit from this agony. :) You have to download the drivers from Digidesign's website. Here is the link:

You want the zip file with the "Mackie Designs HUI" in it. Download this file, extract it...
I thought about that, but then remembered that the MBox has no midi ports. The BCF2000 connects via USB. FWIW, I have it plugged into it's own USB port, not the hub.
It's really odd. I have configured this device to work with Vegas just fine. The latest Behringer firmware update for it has...
Thanks for the clarification, photo. It's been a few months, but now I remember after checking this URL:

I decided that to rule out any possible incompatibility, *I* wanted to go with an Intel CPU and chipset. It doesn't look to be a...
