Lots of great ideas and products used.

Enjoy!

I have a ProCo snake (16x4) that has come in very handy for me. Supposedly stepped up quality wire, but I'm not sure I'm noticing a major difference.

It does help with work flow, and great for a cleaner mic cord layout around a drum kit.

Now that we got you thinking back to standard hardware... ... reading between the lines of your original post- are you really looking for compressors instead of preamps? (You said you were generally happy with your preamps, and you liked the potential of compressor offerings in the Liquid Channel) T...

Read my sig, particularly the 2nd quote.

It's your money- why do you need approval from us?

Multiple pairs into multiple channels work well. If you've got the inputs, track as many as you can. I've had good results with an ORTF pair, I've even had a single Rode NT1 mono as a backup that turned out great. Spaced omni (3') seems to work well too. If there's one channel/mic I'd try to get the...

Difference between MKI and MKII, page 5 of manual: http://www.alesis.com/stuff/contentmgr/files/0/226542517851fe49dfa400b71833298f/file/monitor_one_mkii___reference_manual.pdf Frankly (and speaking as a current MKI owner and user), I don't think you'll find too big of a difference.

An even better Gary Burger / Monks review, with pics and set list

http://blog.thecurrent.org/post/2012/01 ... r-331-club

nights out seeing music (lead singer of legendary garage band the Monks, Gary Burger? How was that? What's he doing now, musically? I knew he was still composing, but I have no idea what his stuff is like. Chris Garges Charlotte, NC Yes, THE Gary Burger. He played 1 new song (at the end), and rippe...

Recovering from a bad back and consecutive nights out seeing music (lead singer of legendary garage band the Monks, and the 7th annual reenactment of the movie The Last Waltz). It's an embarrasment of riches here in (no so frosty this year) MN.

More importantly, what'd you get from Santa? (For me, repairs of all sorts. My bass, one of my guitars (both of them: setup, new pots, new jack), a garage door spring, a thermocouple in my water heater. Oh, and a new microwave to replace a dodgy old one). Strange list, but nice to take care of a bun...

Another alternative is the A&H ZED R16- and you get a mixing board to boot!

(Converters are pretty nice quality, and you just need a Firewire connection)

Maybe we don't have access to castles and mansions, but there are some fun spots in this article.

I just installed a cheap 32" LCD 720p HDTV as a monitor. On the wall. For less than $300. For less than a new 20" flat screen monitor. Holy crap. It's nice to be able to see the waveforms. Sorry if this is old hat for everyone- but it's nice to upgrade to at least the right decade, and the price poi...

Another boat owner joke: "The two happiest days of a boat owner's life is the day he buys the boat and the day he sells the boat."

It's worse than building a studio, I think.

You can do the Brad Laner trick:
