Re: Grammy's Horrible Sound

scott weiland did do good although it sounded like he was imitating Bowie's version of across the universe off of young americans. I knew he was a bowie fan but he really laid into that style.

Re: Grammy's Horrible Sound

i was not going to see the grammy's but tuned in at the last second.

I was actually surprised that there was an emphasis on live playing this year. so I watched the rest. I thought it sounded great. and I knew someone would post here today saying it sounded horrible... go figure.

Re: Why does clients back up firewire drive playback intermi

i don't know what the specs are other than 7200 rpm and firewire. Mine is the same and I have no problem. Is there a fail safe standard brand to buy? or some specs I should follow when advising a client to buy one?

Re: Totally wierd phase phenomenon. . . try it yourself

i believe it might be a latency issue. Computers have latency. when you go out of them and back into them there will be a slight delay causing phasing.

I have a dbx 128 compressor I would like to use but it has rca jacks. My patchbay has elco out to xlr cabnles. Should I just get xlr to rca adapters to use this? is there a better way?
