I really dug the masterlink, (especially the limiter!), it was my workhorse for years! Still use one exclusively >> in every studio ... like the out of the box feel. 8) A client can bring back a mix -- And we can simply re: EQ -- COMP -LIMIT the mix > from the master on board the ALesis -- viola ::...

T Things like the HD24 and Radar systems are great because you can link more of them together to get more tracks if needed. They do allow some editing, but all mixing and processing needs to happen someplace else. . Guess thats what first drew us to the Roland systems in the first place --the mixin...

Thanks -- have yet to out grow the VS .... or just don't have any requirements in our studios to move on, yet. 48 channels has been more than enough for our clients. The headroom design is a factor though, if you try to "push" any projects beyond those peaks.

A DAW isn't just a recorder, though; it's also a virtual mixer and routing system that facilitates DSP. And it runs on an OS that is built to do many things, not just process audio. And hardware recorders do exist: you have the Alesis HD24 (XR and not, both of which I guess got discontinued probabl...

I wish companies would make dedicated hardware recorders ? They did. Now you too can take advantage of the digital revolution, and buy a used one: They are called Tape Machines. Studer made the best one, and there are dozens of manufacturers who most surely have a model you will enjoy using. And th...

Everyone always seems to be constantly upgrading Ram /Speed ...to keep that DAW flying. We are still using the Roland VS system , they have something in the region of 16Mb of total SDRAM, 2Mb of DRAM and 4.5Mb of Flash ROM spread around the system. One CPU is clocked at a whopping 7MHz - wee! The VS...

Just finished a session last weekend --using the method with vocal harmonies. Place your speakers out of phase -- set the mix in mono... your monitors have to be precisely placed the same distance from the center of the mic. Lower volume . Will cancel most feedback/bleed ....

THe Welk show started me on the way to playing drums -- The program was on fairly late for my bedtime hour. So, I used to sneak out of my room and crawl around to the back of my Dad's chair . Peak around the arm and watch the show. I was hooked on the variety of beats the drums had to perform. Got a...

In the used $200 range SwissSonics --- $ 500 range RME

Our DAW connects our 8 channels of effects ~ digitally AES-- All screens are visible in our rack for quick view /easy control with knobs . Mainly used -inexpensive TC units and Lexicon,,,and we don't really tweak. We assign vocals to a dozen user presets in one rack ...and so on. Our plugins are res...

Need the extra wide-angle for most tight situations :: Panasonic_HDC_TM90 :: great in low light, too

Used the Tannoys for years. Just had to move them out for Mackie powereds, because one of the speakers went down on the Tannoys (a $200 replacement speaker or a $500 jump to active monitoring, which we decided to pull the trigger on). Those cocktail drums look sweet! GJ They work in tite /quiet spo...

A used Yamaha Cocktail set. Nice small 6in snare -- great for those extra quiet gigs ~!http://www.yamaha-europe.com/picture_ar ... gh_jpg.jpg

I "can't get my wife to sit properly" forget about the snare

May change the sound too radical for many drummers -- but, I have been just simply placing small pieces of tape across the snare ~~ since the early 60's. Playing quiet venues a lot these days & usually right next to the bass player. Just drummer etiquette
