The thing that kills me about the 002 is how bad the pres are. The ones on the MBox (every iteration I've used) are actually fairly nice. The 002? Pretty bad. Luckily outboard takes care of that, and the d/a converters are acceptable to my ear. You get what you pay for. I kinda see the mbox as an en...

Hey. I have a Gen 5 iMac with two firewire ports. I always had my 002 hooked up to one, and my external hard drive hooked up to the other.

I've found that a custom setting sounds just as good as any LAME encoder I've used at similar settings. Here's...

I work with a band who's guitar played owned one for a while. Just the Tiny Terror head, and we ran through some Marshall 4x12. We recorded a few songs for an EP with his '72 Custom Tele reissue going through it. It roars pretty nice. Now, I'm not completely happy with this mix (mostly the compresso...
