The symetrix 202 is a 2 channel pre that I guess was big in brodcasting in the 90's. they don't make them any more, but there kinda bright and punchy compared to other things. not a night and day difference by any means, in fact I don't even think the chandler germ makes a night and day diff/ but th...

HAHA... man, Elf-Metal rules. Check out Rhapsody or Dragonforce for starters if you wanna get into Elf-Metal. What I was kinda looking to do for production on the drums was something like what Embrace Today did on there 'Fuck you I'm Edge' album: http://www.xembracetodayx.com/downloads/mp3/fyie.mp3 ...

ha, awesome, and thank you :]

The Taste of silver is on tour actualy right now and should be getting near TX if you wanna check them out.

These Are: will be coming in for the real deal pretty soon...

Start a record label, and record and produce your labels bands. That's what I did, and it's slowly starting to work out!! :]

It seems like allot of the fokes on here are into (what I would call) oldschool rock, and allot of the recording techniques talked about in the messageboard seem to be geared more for that type of music. I was wondering if there are any fellow metal kids, or hardcore kids, or black, death and grind ...

The Flaming Lips album? Ill check it out, I just want to see what some sounds are I can get with only one mic.

With the right multi-ban settings you will be very suprized at what you can get...

Well... I personaly like the SM-81's... which is fortunet cause that was just about all I had except for some 603's. Today however I got my AT 4050... so I think that's going to change things. I can't wait to try it out!! :]

On a side note I did get a better bass tone last night with my Art Tube Pac over my Germ.

I think brightening it up a little was a good move. I think it's a pretty good recording and dose fit the music very well. I would be interested to know what you did for the drums?

is it just me or is there a wee little bit of chorus on there too?

Yea... ok. Meanwhile back in the real world, PC's are still typicaly cheaper to set up to run audio. Both pc's and macs have there non-compatable-stuff issues, and just as long as your not buying a shitbox (Dell, Gateway, Compaq, HP, etc...) you should see your system crash at about the same rate as...

Maybe I missed something but if you rig can't suport 24 bit files how are you going to play one to a/b it to a 16 bit one?

I've never used the API's but I did pick up a CL Germ a little while ago, and I am pretty happy with it. Lots of clarity, and beef, however I will say that I have found alot of the reviews to be over stated. Still it's a prett awesome pre, and works well for overheads, as well as clean and distorted...
