This seems like a crazy idea...

So I'm going to be getting a Soundtracs M series console... very exited to start working OTB. I've been ITB for a couple of years and as a former FOH live sound engineer I miss the tact... But something I'm going to really miss is the mix automation... This is more than likely a crazy idea but has a...

I think TI made some of the chips but ASUS makes their own boards... that being said, many DAWs don't support 64bit yet. A lot of people are getting a system with 4gigs of ram and are calling it a day. On laptops you're spending a crap ton of money on higher ram systems... but if you're going deskto...

Ableton is a great program... if it weren't for the fact that my PT rig was practically free I'd probably still be using it....

I'm a little late to this thread but I'll give my thoughts on the OP. First of all, I've found that the REALLY good producers/engineers are often more willing to share info because they KNOW that its more than just turning on the 1176. There is a lot to be said about the human element and just knowi...

I just barely signed up for the issues so I don't have the most recent. I don't know where to get the current one locally. :(

Hipster I can't understand what you're trying to say...

And all of my mics have wizards and elves inside of them making them work. I don't every take them apart because I'm worried that one of them might escape and my mics won't work anymore.

I wasn't at my studio when I listened to these... it was my home stereo. HPB - I feel like the drums are a bit lost and unintelligible. Jaam- the "scratchy" acoustic could come back a bit. Feels like its taking too much of the mix. Sprat - seems muffled... hard to describe but its almost as if you r...

What's your budget? You can get a used 002 for about $500 - $650 depending on which one you get. From what I hear adding a BLA mod to it will put it in the 5 star rating in terms of sound. The big down side to the 002 will be future support... Digidesign is notorious for dropping support of hardware...

I'm sure there will be some quantitative difference but I doubt you'd notice that much of a qualitative difference.

Awesome... since they were free I'll give them a shot and if they don't work I'm not out much more than a little time.

Agile guitars are surprisingly good.

Also take a look at Raven West guitars. Those have a nice bang for the buck as well.
