I think I got skipped for issue 80. Good impetus to sign up for a first class subscription - hopefully future problem is solved

fwiw, the firepod comes with cubase le (which is fine for just basic tracking and whatnot).

I'm all for the -2 version. It's not like it would be hard to remove the attached cord and replace it with a pigtail or something.

I would guess that the earthworks pre would be hard to clip (although I've never used one, so I can't say for sure):

Also, I bet the prismsound stuff is clean as a whistle at high gain:

There is a lot of good info here: http://www.realtraps.com/

Aurelex folks will tell you differently, but it seems the concensus is that ethan's traps are the bomb, and very good deal (although not exactly inexpensive...)

I'm in for two and I can pay

This is awesome!! Thanks for arranging this deal! To top off the tapeop related fun, I just got my new issue of the mag yesterday - setting me up for a nice weekend

I *love* the duke ellington nutcracker suite: Duke Ellington: Three Suites

The website isn't as easy to navigate, but zipzoomfly.com (formerly googlegear) is now my vendor of choice.

CDW seems to have some damn good prices lately too...

maybe when the drummer goes crazy you are overloading the mics? You could try using a -10db pad to see if that helps for the more intense parts...

My md player lacks a digital output, so I just use the line out into my soundcard. I'm sure I'm losing a bit to the additional da/ad conversion, but for my uses I'll never notice.

My favorite computer stores:

I really like echo's stuff (I've got a layla24). RME makes a pcmcia adapter for their stuff. As for firewire, the motu 828mk2 looks like a good deal. That new tascam all-in-one box (kind of like a cheaper digi 002) looks pretty neat. Yamaha has a similar unit on the way as well. Here's what audiomid...

this place has AWESOME prices, and the 4u case I got from them is great:

for $500, I'd say try out a used hellhound: http://www.reverenddirect.com/reverend/ ... 40_60.html

I think they are great amps...

This guitar cable (Alessandro Instrument Pro) always used to piss me off:

But I guess it's really a comparative bargain
