Hey Tom,
I love the "magic eye" display on the +compand. What fun!

If there's any message in my rant, it's to start with any of the quality microphones mentioned here, and then add a variety of others. Even those you would not think of as appropriate. You never know what you're going to face. Right now I carry, and have used, almost everything I own doing VO's. An...

After about a year of saving money, doing research on the TOMB and others like it, and using all the information at my disposal to find the best option to suit my needs, I must say that I'm still pretty confused when it comes to choosing DAW software. Hardware was much easier. I got a Fireface 800,...

We had the connector come loose on one of the two units we have. I suspect that it can happen during shipping. The result is a very weak...

Size of a request header field exceeds server limit. Cookie: phpbb2mysql___u=a.... [then a big long string of gobbledy-gook] Apac...

In regard to touching tubes with your bare hands; I'm sure it's ok but I've been told not to more than once. Same as your halogen comparasin. You are not supposed to touch halogen bulbs with your fingers due to oils from your fingers impregnating the glass and leading to a premature bulb failure an...
