so there is no way to record/monitor in protools with another interface while the mbox or micro are plugged in? that makes everything really inconvenient except the "profire lightbridge" It would be a huge pain to have to switch my monitors (Adam A7s) back and forth or just use headphones. I thought...

the mbox micro seems to be a good compromise between the two other options. the DV toolkit is so expensive! Is there any way around this, IE a way to get the tracks from logic to show up separated and in their right locations, as well as having MTC sync'd, without soloing individual tracks and bounc...

will any PT interface allow me to open any version of PT? The mbox is meant for m powered, and the 003 for LE. Will I be able to open LE or HD session files with the mbox?

I hate protools. I hate that I have to use only their interfaces, which I also hate. Anyway... I want to sell my digi003r for an RME Fireface 800 or an Apogee Ensemble. But I am concerned about people wanting to use protools, which happens rarely but I'd rather not miss any opportunities for work. I...

the benefit of the TTE is that it is built well

I loved my space echo until the motor went out. How do you find a new motor? I don't think it's going to be easy...

Fender Twin Reverb. Gorgeous clean, lots of headroom. You can probably get a blackface reissue for around 700 in nice condition

i'm using the awful digi 003 so I can still use protools even though I hate protools and this interface. I'm thinking about just getting a super cheap mbox and a different main interface, as well as figuring out how to export files from logic in a readymade format (pts?) so I could open then in prot...

I got a Sennheiser MD 441 to fill this niche. I love it. It makes me want to own all of these fancy dynamic mics

at least it's fun and clever not negative and ultra subjective

personally I think it is one of the top 10 best beatles songs

it's pretty stupid to post stuff like this

Hopefully I'm going to use it for everything... LDCs because they benefit the most from a nice preamp IMO. if I'm tracking multiple things at once (probably as the center overhead pre for glyn johns). Vocals and acoustic guitar - natural acoustic sounds also benefit greatly from a smooth, natural fu...

im really happy with the great river. it was my first and sounds great on just about everything. I agree with the GR. I have three of the pres in your list ( GR, L-3, Biz, )...All are good. The GR I think, would be my first choice if I had to start over. The Biz sound good on most stuff, but you di...

bump

if this is a played-out subject please give me a link to a place that it is covered. i did a quick search

otherwise I think the 500 series format is perfect for those beginning to transition to serious high quality recording and it is therefore useful to many people out there besides myself

Sorry if this topic is posted often... Just got a 500 rack and I'm looking forward to filling it up. I am looking for the best all around 500 series preamp for my first "pro-level" preamp I am looking at: Great River MP-500NV A Designs P-1 Shadow Hills Mono Gama Purple Audio Biz API 512c OSA L3 Impo...

I'm jealous I'd go with my normal set up, which is glyn johns with mismatched overheads, a ribbon on kick, and a 441 on snare. It sounds awesome Then I would put up some ribbon mics, but not just anywhere, because a little movement makes a big difference especially because of the parallel walls in r...
