Indeed. The reason I ask is that there is currently one on ebay for about 300, which along with an 828, would put me in the exact same range as a traveler. So apples being apples, the quality of the converters is all I'm considering - although I'm beginning to doubt that there would be a...

I recently got a sweet deal on a pair of Adam S3As (1k) Which inspired me to sell all, simplify and upgrade. I bought an apogee trak2 ($700) which takes care of all of my pre, DI, and A/D needs. All I need now is some DAC and a firewire interface (used basically as a format converter for my...

I just got a pedal power 2+ to (you guessed it) power my pedals. I have 2 pedals that are causing an issue. EHX Freeze - which takes a whopping 140ma and a Diamond Memory lane - 18VDC at 125ma. My initial thought was that I'd have to double the voltage on 5-6 (150ma each) for the diamond and...

Alright, please don't call me a tool/douche. I bought a TLM 103, cause I got a sweet deal (700$ and local, which is great to not have to pay cross border duties on, as I usually have to). Yes I've tried it before, and no I don't think it sucks. I have no real interest in cheap Chinese ribbons...

Sorry to kick a dead horse, but anyone have experience with the at4081? Reason I ask is I've been offered a good deal. Only heard a couple of samples but seems fairly similar to the royer.

Will good converters always be good converters? Or will today's RME be surpassed by a 100$ interface five years from now? The reason I ask, is I need a new interface, but was thinking on buying some nice Apogee converters instead, and then the cheapest interface with digital ins that I can find...

I think somewhere around 600$ is standard, but we can discuss. Thank you.

Certainly. The 8pre has a two channel output on the back. Feed that into the headphone amp with two patches (If the amp has a left and right input) or with a y cable (If the amp has a "stereo" input). Conversely you could do the same using the headphone out on the front with a TRS or a y cable...

Can you comment on its versatility outside of cabs and drums? My one reservation with that bad boy is that it seems to be more your classic ribbon and might not handle vocals, which would be really its main workload...

What did you think JohnBJohn meant?

Not the response I was looking for, but super awesome anyways. Surprising helpful too... never thought of doing the mastering myself, always pay someone else to do it.

So here's the deal, I recently sold all of my mics, except a pair of Naiant XMs, because I really needed cash. Turns out I didn't need the cash so I'm in need of some micage. Budget is roughly 1000$. I need something to cover mainly vocals some cabs and some room micing. Previously, I had an mxl...

This may seem a bit out there but tascam is having a big factory restock deal starting friday. 229 for VLA5 and 279 for VLA8. If you're fully commited to your budget then go ahed and get something more expensive, you'll probably get something noticably better, but, 279 is absolut robbery for the...

Right, I had usb 2.0. It's an 07 imac with which I have used two MOTUs, one focusrite and the tascam, the tascam being the only one that gave me the slightest of trouble... I am completely certain this was an issue with the interface.

I've tried the Tascam FW and it seemed pretty fantastic but not a good measure of the US-1641 as you can't really compare tascam's fw to usb. The us-1641 gives you a wealth of inputs but most of it is put to waste. Past about 6 tracks running at the same time, overdubbing a number of tracks...

I bought a US-1641 and sold it within a month. Latency was absoloutly atrocious. I bought a used MOTU traveler for 500$. The best piece of advice I can give you is to stay away from the tascam and try to get a used MOTU or similar quality interface. You will thank me for sure.

I was wondering if any one has suggestions on where to get suitable speakers for some home made nearfield monitors. I'd like to maximise my value for money by just wiring some high quality speakers into an old enclosure but haven't been able to find anything suitable.

I'm wondering if there's any way to hook a sustain pedal up to a controller that only has a MIDI out. As far as I can tell, it seems like something that would be theoretical doable but know of no such product.

I'm looking for some opinions on really good mixes. I'd like to be able to cross reference my mixes with some standout mixes and I'd like to hear some opinions on the subject. My personal favorite is So Far Around the Bend by The National, I think all of the elements of the song interact...

Sorry for trying to milk this dead and boring cow but one final question. Since my mac only has firewire 800, would it be a wise course of action to hook an hd up to my mac with fw 800 and then daisy chain the interface with the hd? (mac 800 port<hd 800 port<hd 400 port< interface 400 port) as...
