It's amazing where that SM7 shows up on record.

Michael Jackson - All over Thriller
RHCP - Definitely on BSSM
Wilco - AM

Now the Black Crows. Hmmm.... ???

I use to use that mic at a previous in-house job and was amazed at how it handles the human voice. Definitely on the list.

Here is the correct chain: Software ---> Sound Card Out ---> REamp ---> Pedals (amps, etc) ---> Direct Box (or preamp with a High-Z input) ---> Sound Card In ---> Software. I'm about to do the same thing. REamping seems like a solution to many many issues. I'm especially excited about recording guit...

Uhhhhhhg. Nevermind. According to the manual, audio is not sent to the unit and back to the host via USB, but rather via analog or digital out of your sound card.
Hello latency.

I should have expected this for $200.

Is anyone using the MX-200 with DP, Cubase, or Live5??? http://www.lexiconpro.com/mx200/index.asp This is the unit that enables you to use it as a VST or AU plug-in for out of the box processing power. Obviously a good sounding hardware reverb for $199 or less that can be configured as a plug-in is ...

I run the following on my Macs: Peak 4 LE (sold currently is Peak 5 LE) iZotope Ozone I do not consider myself to be a mastering engineer, but I do have projects that require me to take matters into my own hands since they will never be mastered otherwise. I record and mix in Digital Performer, and ...

Use DP's trim plug (very low CPU) on every hot track to bring them down by the same amount (-6db, -12dB, etc). Place it first in line so that you are reducing the signal that is going to other plug-ins. Ths will give you the headroom that you need. I prefer to use the trim plug if there is a big dif...

The Microtrack supplies 30V of Phantom Power max, I believe.

You can't use FW800 with the M-audio firewire drivers. Wow. :shock: Thanks so much. That is great information. I have several options. The Lacie FW drive has USB2.0, FW400 and FW800. It does not need to be connected to my system at all times, since it is strictly a backup drive. The lack of play be...

Maybe I've been spoiled. Maybe I just took MOTU for granted. My 828mkii needs to be repaired. It's 2.5 yrs old and the screen is dead, S/PDIF is having problems in one channel, etc. Up until 4 months ago it performed flawlessly and I love it. Since I needed a backup plan while it is away, I decided ...

Listen to the outro of "The Rain Song" from Led Zep. There is a single note that Jimmy is playing that is punched. It sticks out like a sore thumb after you notice it.

Sweaky bass drum pedal in "Since I've Been Loving You". Classic.

I always assumed that this was one way of doing things, then doubted my logic because of the fact that most Re-Amp boxes on the market are in the $200 price range. I use my Presonus MP20 as my DI at home / remote, so opening up and experimenting with the DOD DI boxes won't hurt. Thanks for the info....

You shouldn't have any problem with the quality of your DOD boxes Jeff. They should be nice and quiet, especially if they were manufactured in the early eighties. Either way, the key is to watch your volume (voltage) levels coming In thru the Out door. Piece of cake.

Sweet. Thanks!

Regarding the SH32 for cheap and nasty synth i highly recomend this bad boy here, esp since they're only about $199. I'm a fan of analog boxes and VIs, so I don't consider myself to be an "analog snob" per se. I think that some of the sounds in the MicroKorg sound good, and a lot fo the bands that ...
