Re: Does the DAW interface I want exist?

ASIO4ALL is probably worth trying, otherwise it seems like you are probably at the mercy of the interface driver... meaning, waiting for something from ESI... and that might be unlikely?

Re: Does the DAW interface I want exist?

so is it worth it to outlay 3-4x more cash for convenience / ease of use for the edge case above? I think only you can decide that based on your needs. But are there other software (plugin or DAW routing?) solutions that might allow you to accomplish what you need? I'm not 100% clear if you are usi...

Re: What preamps are y'all liking these days?

I don't have one, but saw they were on sale (and would love to have one for sure) -- https://www.locomotiveaudio.com/wt-comp Vari-MU type. There's a Tape Op review and the reviewer liked it a lot. A DBX 160A (or older X, XT) are great for some stuff (like bass guitars). I've got a Lindell Lin2A and ...

Re: What preamps are y'all liking these days?

sounds like a couple nice scores there. What would you be compressing with said compressor?

Re: Can excessive preamp gain damage ribbon mic?

you can't damage the mic by turning up the preamp gain and the preamp won't affect the movement of the ribbon at all (that's whatever you put in front of the mic that is making it vibrate). I'm assuming you did not have phantom power engaged (although that usually won't hurt most modern ribbons eith...

Vinyl not Vinyl

so if you had a collection of these, and the world was ending I suppose you could chew on these for awhile?

Re: 2 Noisy Studer 169s - Fix it myself or hire someone to fix?

I just did a deep cleaning on a little Mackie mixer (lots of scratchy and intermittent pots). The only reason I mention this is that you can now get the cleaning supplies at most Home Depots. clean it out good, let it dry, then spray the lubricant in the pots (as best as you can) or faders. Let it d...

Re: Your favorite tips & resources on working with tape

I don't know that you are going to find any deep technical tips on using tape in recent Tape Op issues. Maybe back in the earlier stuff? Most of the articles are more about the producers, engineers, musicians and their experiences and less into technical details of how they used tape (there may be s...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....

I've just been here for 24 years and miss how it was 2000-2010. I'm cranky. . I feel the same way about Austin. . A friend of mine in Seattle was saying music was dying up there - that nobody wanted to hear original music anymore. I see that happening in Austin too. Not sure if it is also the tech-...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....

I know this was question for Ryan (and I'm also curious what he got), but.... when I needed something sturdier than the regular tripod and I did not want to spend the $ for another Ultimate MC-125, I got one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SVRLPYY The stand is sturdy and light.

Re: Heritage Audio Britstrip

this was on my radar for a bit too but never got to try one. Ultimately I bought an Empirical Labs MikeE (EL-9) and I like it a lot. Mostly have been using it for bass guitar or electric guitar but one of these days will run snare through it (since the comp is similar to a Distressor). When I record...

Re: Video Overdubbing Software

I didn't even know that Reaper could do that (until it was posted here). I saw something that said for a Windows system, you need VLC installed as well. Might be worth a shot? https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html

Re: Video Overdubbing Software

if you have Windows 11, then Microsquish makes you use Clip Champ https://clipchamp.com/en/ I've used it for editing a few videos (it's not too difficult to learn) and you can add/remove audio tracks, although I've never actually done that (at least not on purpose). And (as The Mothers said ) it's a...
