I found this thread searching for options to replace or supplement my Alesis HD24. I am thinking about the UTrack 24 as a real time back up and usb interface for transfers. Currently, we are using HD 24 tools and a usb hack for the transfers. Good Stuff! https://ringbreak.dnd.utwente.nl/~mrjb/hd24to...

Sound Anchor. Steel filled with Expanding concrete. Make a difference. Tall custom one will not be cheap. soundanchors.com Sand loading effective, as others have said. As mentioned height is a matter of physical integration and phase coherence. Some speakers will be very tweekie wirh regards to this...

The VLA punches so far above it's weight it's absurd!

YES. Make sure they work. Basically an M500 without the vocal contour.
I have used them on piano and vocals in a sparse mix or as a sibilant killer, for those vocals that are really Ssss ey

I been going through many of my options here with player / friends. All can be good, But ALL sound better going through a real amp and miced. 70% of the time, If I supply the amp it's going to be either a Peavey Clasic 30 or a Fender Bassman Head (Bassman 70 silverface). SO, between a Pod, JStation,...

If properly maintained - and that is a huge part of the equation. When New and functioning at top level. The 38 will sound better. But honistly.....no to be a basher here the mixer section was never as good as the recorder section on the 'combo' unit. I don't know how much material upgrade it will a...

If a Hammond doesn't have a "start" and a "run" switch it's not a tonewheel organ and thus almost worthless... M series,a dn other "spinets" can by found for $50-100 if you look around a little. Some of the smaller tone wheel modles have only one switch. There are fewer wheels and don't require the...

WOW I have seen a lot of dicussion on this one lately. It must be the new hip thing. I have one I got at a garage sale years ago. i tried it and it has sat sence. i mean I found NO use for this thing. I don't have VU 160s but use 166 and the 166A regulary..I just have No use for this thing. my 163x ...

To me the efectron stuff has always been garbage. On the other hand the SDE delays are rather classy. I really like these. Back in the day, these were rivals of the lexicon PCM 41s not efectron.

All the old TL audio gear was hybrid. No idea what is happpening now, but I would inspect the circuit topology before you go and get excited about a tube mic pre. all their old "tube mic pre's" used an IC opamp for gain with a tube in for color... NO! NOT all of there gear is hybrid. They have been...

http://www.recordingconsoles.net/consoles/consoles.htm This is a WAY Cool Sight. They have some pix of the Chilton. I think they may have had a thread. You can try the search function - It's not very good. The moderators have been active a long time, so I think they would be a resource- Just post. T...

YA? They did it because they didn't have ADATs!!

On more time: You were able to hear a marked diference in the demo situation?

I used this machine for years. Notice what has been said: Red Rockets Glare spent $500 on it then $300 for repair. morte sicura $350 then $275 to have it set up. You really can't align these at home. You have to get an expert. FWIW get a Real Authorized TASCAM facility. The real pro machines are mad...

In the last 6 years, here in New Orleans there have been at laest 2 cases just like this. I mean JUST LIKE THIS. The news accounts would read almost identically.
Watch your back!
