I just did this myself. The main impetus was to more easily integrate my growing collection of outboard. I haven't had any new sessions to work on, but so far I think I'm going to be okay with the 16/18 outs. I have been remixing stuff I tracked in the last year to get a feel for my approach. I will...

I'm pretty far from an audio genius, but here's my opinion anyway: Like most things going on in an electrical circuit, transformers are played upon by a series of "leverages" of sorts. (At least that's how i think of it) So really the input transformer of an 1176 will not sound the same if used for ...

I'm thinking I might end up with the API and a BLA D/A when it comes out. The API isn't much more than most good 2 channel A/Ds and you get killer pres w/ it.

All I know is that Bova over the drummers shoulder-->33609 thing that Joel does sounds f'in killer. I was amazed when I heard it. Can't say what it would have sounded like with something else in its place. He's got the earthworks too so maybe he'll answer.

Thanks Jonk-

I had forgotten you had mentioned this- I'm definitely going to get some into my PM1K strips. The hookup info will be helpful.

Cheers,

I'd run a separate drive for the audio and get a bunch of RAM (at least double especially if you are going to mix on it). I did some field recording with my old 400MHZ Ti Book and my 002 and it had a hard time with recording 2 tracks. Having said that, my G4 1.2 tower did a reasonable job of recordi...

That Mpressor is a curious thing. I want to hear one. What have you been using it on Joel?

Orange knob thing is a dual PM1000

2nd from bottom Dual Class A 1176 type thingy

Bottom is a LA2 kinda job

With any luck a Vari-Mu and 33609 are next!

There is one on 27th street next to the Ci Ci's pizza. On the east side of the street. Kinda wedged in between the Dollar Tree and a Chinese food place...I think. It might be next to Sally Beauty Supply. It's just a shopping center. The one at Gateway is too far out of the way. WOW, THANKS!! Must b...

I just purchased some DB25 to TRS snakes for a new patchbay setup from Redco. They were very reasonable - especially considering what a PITA soldering DB25's must be (I'll admit I've never tried). I have melted a ton of solder over the years, but this is one of those things that was just going to be...

Simple solution then (depending how you work/record)- I'd just monitor the signal going into the MBox instead of the signal coming out of it. Or- switch yer buffer to </=256 and suspend your plugins (on mac control+option+command clicking will suspend plugs across the whole mix without losing settin...

Thanks for your opinion!

(Smuttys on me next time yer in NH)

Can you mult the inputs going into your Mbox using the mixer for monitoring? This is what I do, if I understand "multing" properly... (what's multing?!?) I think PTs LE lack of PDC is also a culprit. A-holes!!! I've already downloaded a few entry level apps that can run off Digidesign's AISO softwa...

Hey Scott-

How does the Biz compare to your GR NV's?

Thanks,

Josh

If your just a singer sonwriter you should be able to monitor via hardware and not worry about Latency. I have a small mixer patched in before the Mbox, and I monitor from the mixers headphone / monitor out. I guess that you're suggesting that if I use the headphone jack on the Mbox itself, then my...
