read the original post and my first reply. i didn't reply to "i want the best no matter where i am." i replied to "bang-for-my buck hobbyist caliber equipment that gets the job done." i don't think you're gonna get 24/96 for under $200. if you know a way, kindly share. the reason i made the suggesti...

in my experience the d7 is about as reliable as bob dole's erectile tissue. even less so if it's purchased used. and the new generation atrac sounds fine for field stuff, which is what we're talking about here. the mic pre's in either a cheap md or a cheap dat (which the d7 most assuredly is) are a ...

no dude. go from the pre into the compressor to whatever your recording medium is. use the return from your tape deck or sound card to monitor with the mackie, but don't put your signal through that thing if you don't have to. the reality is the mic pre is the least crap part of the board. the eq's ...

i'd start with an md (sharps are better- see older threads on this topic.) and a mic like mentioned above. then, if you get into it, check out the sound devices mixpre for an awesome stereo field mixer with nice preamps, limiters, phantom power, etc. those go about $650, but it could wait until furt...

hey inverseroom-
it is a k3, but my brother went and stole it from me. i don't think i'll be able to pry it back. they go pretty cheap on ebay, i think? have you been able to do cool stuff with one of those? or are you just a fanatical keyboard collector?

another testimonial for the casio cz1000. same synth as the cz101, but closer to "full size keys." i use it regularly, and was getting some great stuff the other day running it through a big muff. however, what you may actually be talking about is a good midi controller. and reason, or something lik...

there are a couple on the 'bay as we speak.

if braless, silk shirted women are the road to hell, sign me up. rhythym- most of the film production type lavs are omni afaik (though i defer to dave on this shit,) but you can find cards as well. omni is obviously a nightmare for a pa type application. i'm pretty sure the senheiser me-2 (?) can co...

rodgre:
that's what i was thinking. note the hartford whalers shirt on beermaster-flash. there's a certain kind of drunken idiocy that really doesn't exist outside of new england. except maybe in new zealand.

the sense i get is that it's one dude, and he operates out of his basement or somehing. when you get his voicemail, it names 2 different companies, which is a sign of sketchiness. (like the business isn't legit enough to have its own phone line?) the prices are good, and i've had pretty good luck, b...

ladewd:
what kinda heat was stevie packin? that guy is an all-time king.

i'd like to posit that journey do not deserve to have their name dragged through the mire associated with the other "artists" on that list. they did their thing, they could play, steve perry does a great white sam cooke, neil schaun (sp?) shredded, and they wrote some alright choons. just my 2c.

oh yeah i got dag nasty connects too. i'm a friend of their drummer, who was also fugazi's first drummer for a minute. or i was a friend until i got shitfaced at his wedding, made out with his sister, peed in front of his mom, etc. also i've kicked it a bit with the bass player, who is now a film cr...

it would have been cool to team up with the chief and kick billy sheehan's candy ass.

the chief thing trumps everything else on this thread, imho. did he get you high?
