Neoteks seem to be great bang for buck. I see them pop up quite a bit, on here, and other studio sites. The Elite II's have damn useful pres with nice EQ's too. Haven't used the other ones myself tho.

a friend of mine gave me a copy of a Black Sabbath album, digitally remastered, on vinyl ! I was baffled... also, I just hate remix/remasters in general, because we all know how much artist/engineer work goes into getting it how you wanted it to sound, and then some other dude comes in, brings all t...

Bright Eyes- Conor shit vibrato sounds like a sheep dying to me. However, I think the Desparacidos albums kicks ass. Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac- do I really need to explain? Morrissey- I just realized last year, that I actually really like the Smiths music, and that it's just him that kills it for m...

search the board, there's a million threads on this topic. If that doesn't work for you, post in the gear section with what you're looking for, ie: colored or transparent, male vocals, female vocals, hyped mids, scooped mids, flat, etc etc... Then you can narrow it down to a few models you may be in...

also, a MOTU Ultralite might be an option, and I'm sure it's much better than anything else I just mentioned.

not sure if they're in Canada or not, or if this is what you're looking for, but you can try checking out:

Presonus Firebox
M-Audio Firewire 410
Mbox 2 mini, or Mbox 2

I can't say how good they sound, but I just figured I'd shoot it out there.

wow, how did I completely forget to check the actual Jackpot site... damn, that was dumb.

It does look pretty cool, but I agree about the colors, a bit too wacky for my taste. I gotta say, that owl is pretty dope though.

Jackpot! update? Larry?!

Even though I could probably answer my own question with "well, they're probably busy as shit." Isn't the new Jackpot! pretty much done at this point? Did you continue to take photos of the process, etc, or can we expect to see an article on here, in the mag, or on the Hamptone site? Just wondering,...

I just got my Pacific Pro Audio drive in the mail, and was suprised that it had both FW and USB2.0. So that was a nice suprise, as I thought it was just FW. Might be a good option for you.

I'm thinking an SPL meter wont really help you, but it might be neat to look at. If it were me, I'd go the old fashion route and go upstairs and walk around while someone else plays. See how loud it is in your apartment, and then, if you're able to get to the 3rd floor, go up there and see how loud ...

Re: Presonus Tube Pre mods?

but I think that it won't make much difference because there's so much shit color weirdo crap in this thing that a different tube may not matter much. You'd be amazed at the difference in sound. At least worth a try before you go inside and start ripping out IC's. I have little knowledge of this pr...
