Sellng Soundtracs Topaz 32x8 board

Nice and clean, all channels in working order. One of the sends might need work, but it's been a while since I've used this desk, so I don't remember the specifics. Tired of stubbing my toe on this thing in the middle of the night. $800 obo, buyer must pick up from Albany, ny. I have no way to get t...

I just spent a minute throwing together my home theater setup. The brain of the system is a home built 8-core HTPC, running two AMD 9850s, with 4g of ram and 3tb of storage (I'd like to eventually get my entire dvd collection onto hard disk. I hate having ambitions.) A Hauppage PCI-E TV card takes c...

If you haven't already spent some money a vise, I have a potentially cheaper suggestion. To keep the connector of a cable still, plug it into something. If you don't have any broken equipment handy or things that you trust to leave near you waving a soldering iron, you can get some panel mounted op...

I wish you luck man. The competition here is fierce. Every kid from Van Cortlandt to Brighton Beach who owns an MBox is clogging the market in a really efficient way. You have to find a way to really make yourself stand out. Being twice as good as the next guy doesn't hold as much water when the per...

Re: Converter confusion....

There's about maybe an inch or two of analog path in the rosetta; I can't conceivably see how that could make any difference. Digital converters are stunningly fickle in regards to build, probably moreso than anything else you will find racked up in a studio. The quality of the analog stage, the sp...

Also, I definitely think it's possible for tracks to be "musically" out of tune, so that, even out of tune, there's a pleasantness about them. I don't know if I'd call it "warm" or cold or purple, or whatever, but musical sometimes, definitely... Most certainly. The Stones "Between the Buttons" has...

Great technique. I've started going crazy with this in my spare time, keying several SETS of room mics at various points from the kit from the close snare track, which is essentially strangled by a heavy comp with a moderate attack.

The results are often mixed, but always interesting.

Christ I love that record. Though Zuma is really my jam....so claustrophobic sounding... As far as alcohol goes, I have a "No Drugs Or Alcohol" rule wherever I work, but it's mostly just to discourage the posse attending, and all of the frustration that comes along with it. In reality though I rarel...

You could check out building one of these: http://duc.digidesign.com/showflat.php? ... =1172215&p

It's currently the most affordable of all the "quadzilla" models that have been thrown around on the DUC Board for the past few years. Supposedly they work pretty well.

Anybody interested in a 002/Guitar trade?

I've got an EC-1000 that I was given as payment for some studio work. In awesome condition, with a hardshell case. I don't have much use for it though, and would much rather have a used 002 around the house. Anybody interested in a trade? Details negotiable, of course. Anyway, if you want to talk ab...
