:confused: While waiting for Buddy Guy to go onstage at the Cerritos, CA Perf Arts Center tonight (Thursday) I was talking to the sales dude (can I even call them a rep?) and I noticed that they sell RNCs(!) I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw it. And they were $189.95. It almost looked different than mine. Older in a way. Maybe it was dusty.

Hi,
I've just bought a 24 2", and need some suggestions on tapes. Unfortunately I don't have the possibilities to test all different brands, and the only one I've worked with was 456 on a Otari MX80.
I work mostly on rock tunes.

Any suggestion. .bias? calibrated to?

OK, OK, the people have spoken! It looks like our next step is to 2" analog. Our problem is we don't have $10k+ burning a hole in our pockets. We have at most $7k and if we could get that down to $5k, that would be even better.

Digidesign needs to jump on the 2001 boat and allow us PC users our due. A 1 Ghz processer (with lots of RAM) can do just about anything a TDM system can do. Why are they so against making a system like this, hell the software is what $4K street price, they would BE CONNECTING WITH A WHOLE LEVEL OF MARKET THAT THEY HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY TOUCHED YET.

(This is probably off topic, but Fletcher owes me!)
I'm looking for 2 original Neumann boxes for 2 M 49's I just got. They do not have to match each other, just be original, good to excellent condition boxes. Anybody?

I have worked on a lot of different systems, by SSL, Neve, Trident and others, and notice that there are MANY opinions on carrying the ground wire in a cable.

I am wondering about advice any here could give me, or even opinions for that matter...

I have both balanced AND unbalanced gear in my patchbays.

Hey, I recently got ahold of an old Korg AG-10 sound module. It's the first time I've used a separate sound module, and I have no manuals, so after finally getting it to integrate with my sequencer. well, here's my question.

I saw a Lyrec TR532 mkII for sale, and it looks very good on paper. I really would like to knwo if anyoen is willing to sare some comments on it.
Unfortunately the Deja-Google transaction seems kinda slow, and so even if I remember there was some post bout Lyrec products, I'm not able to get'em.

Those "vintage" passive EQ units sure do sound nice, but the price you pay is the need for an extra gain stage. (unless someone has a better solution?) I need two channels of gain (30db or so) to compensate for a two channel passive Telefunken EQ I just purchased. A lot of the obvious choices are now being advertised as mic preamps so their prices have skyrocketed.

I do most of my recording and mixing to and from the Tascam MX2424. I use Samplitude to edit the tracks just like Pro Tools and send the edited tracks digitally back to the Tascam.
