I have no clue what you're talking about.

sorry, my post was a grammatical mess.

my post could have read simply "karma" and it would have made more sense.

hurm. let me think about two concepts here. $35 and karma. looks like karma wins!

what are the devices and the order to the daisy chain?

have you tried switching it up?

the chinese garden is very nice in december. if you package it up as a visit/tea/lunch, it will cost you about $20 a head. that sounds like it might be a hair over budget. but they have great lunch food, amazing tea served in a set for a kung fu movie the size of a city block. http://www.portlandchi...

i think the riser will need to be isolated from the drums as well. the more mobile and light the structure, the more i fear it will resonate from the drums. oh, and some plywood, a router and these http://www.vxb.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=bearings&Product_Code=Kit8601&Categor...

i am sure this has been gone over before... but does running hardware convolution on the way in (a la liquid pres) offer any advantage over doing it later? is there something else to the liquid?

I SPEAK FOR SCIENTISTS TOO.

they tell me to tell everyone here that you are dumb heads.

do you have a lot of outboard pres of mediocre quality? do you record more than 2 channels at a time? i think getting something like a focusrite pro40 and selling your motu and selling all but your best pre might be an interesting choice. would smooth your workflow. you would get the marginal differ...

this was the ITB one... LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE WRONG.

having listened to a lot of shoot outs with converters, i think the differences are pretty minor. minor enough that for home studio people there is probably always something more important to buy.

so maybe wait till your unit is no longer compatible or supported or stable?

so what happens if you uh, dampen the kick drum to get the sound you want? does the band kill you?

7 has some sort of different phase relationship than the other ones. my guess is that its some sort of hardware phase fuck up that sounds good. the rest of them seem to have very very very minor differences in soundstage and tonal balance. i really don't have a favorite out of the rest of the six. i...

i remember a particularly juicy smackdown that mark mcq gave "soundguy dave" on here many years back about the RNC. it all came down to dave preferring colored gear, but he couldn't articulate it. so he said a bunch of dumb stuff that could be pretty well objectively refuted. if he actually understo...

i think transparent vs. colored is a pretty useful piece of terminology. if you are looking for a transparent compressor, you are looking for a compressor that compresses and does little else. if you are looking for a colored compressor, you are looking for a compressor that compresses as well as sa...
