I appreciate all the fast responses. It's good to hear that so many musicians still don't feel they need a car in the city.
I have always wished that I didn't need a car, so it's a great thing to hear.

Just curious if there are any alternatives to owning a vehicle if one was to live and gig in the city? Do you just have to have a van or use taxi's? Cant imagine carrying a whole band's equipment to a gig on a subway or bus, but I"m thinking perhaps there might be other options.

I don't believe I have a schematic, but you've already told me what I want to know - it might be possible.

I hadn't thought of the moving the eq idea. Thanks

I'm using my soundcraft spirit E12 as a front end for a DAW set-up. I send all the microphones through the mixer, and I've been taking the signal out of the insert jack and into my interface, but it would be great if I had the option to send a signal that also included my board's eq section. Is it c...

can you get multipair in a bundle of four? Excuse my ignorance, as I've only seen pairs before.

Yeah, I don't follow how a trs patch bay is anything like a snake, except that both can pass signal. I'm looking to get headphone signals to musicians that are not in the control room, so I need a bundle of cables that will carry a headphone signal and terminate to a box that the musician can plug h...

Once upon a time, I interned at a studio that ran their headphone mixes through a dedicated snake. It seems like a simple concept - basically a stage snake, but one that only has TRS jacks and no XLR's. I'm thinking of either 4 or 6 channels in the snake. Does anyone know of someone who has such a s...

I definitely believe in martin. I interned at a studio that had a low end martin that was about 5 years old. You could practically just slap an LDC infront of that guitar and get a beautiful stummed or finger picked sound. I worked some with a higher end taylor and a few other guitars that were way ...

I've been back and forth with them in the last few days. I'm pretty sure they are designed to send clocking information through the firewire cable. I can't help but think that either one of my firepods isn't right or maybe something having to do with my computer.

Yeah, the manual is a quick read and leaves much to be desired. The only place I can select the master clock is in the aggrigate devidce setup, and I have tried both of the firepods and in both cases I get pops.

I've got my buffer size (that's latency right) set to the highest level. What's ASIO?

As far as my firewire card, I'm using whatever apple put in the G4 powerbooks of 2 or 3 years ago.

Have you used it to send 16 outputs, or have you only used it to track 16 at a time? I think I can track 16 at a time without issue, but it doesn't work right when running 16 outs at once.

Asheville, NC - Smashing Guitars 103 Broadway St. - Guitar Trader 732 Haywood Rd. Both these stores focus more on used instruments/amps, but I've come across a little pro audio gear every now and then at these stores. Are you on tour with someone? If you're playing in Asheville, I'll try and come ou...

By the way, sorry if I come accross as iritable.
I'm just pissed about my equipment not working as it should. I'm sure someone can relate to that.
