ASRX-Pro vs MPC 2000XL

If anyone has used either one of these sampling drum machines or BOTH of them, your reply is very much appreciated.

Just looking for some positive feedback to push me over that last hurdle and make a purchase.

I'd like my finished PT24 mixes to go through a nice compressor before I mix to analog tape but I can't decide between a pair of distressors or drawmer 1969. I've never used either of these and have only heard great things about them. The goal, of course, is to get that final bit of laquer on a mix, take some of the digital edge off, when going to tape.

Hi all, I'm looking for a two channel tube pre. Tube preamps are new to me and I believe that this will smooth-en out the slight razor edge of my 03D and the 888/24, right?
What would your choice preamp be?

warmest regards to all

Being Prepared, what tips could be suggested in getting prepared for a first time in a studio?

How close should we practice the songs before we begin in the studio; still keeping them fresh sounding?

why do I get a disc error when draging files from my recording drive to a 2 gig jaz drive.

The only whey it will work is if I open the session up in Pro Tools and then copy save the
entire session into the Jaz drive?
wondering if FWB would help if I reformated the discs.

My first time in a studio, perfect title.

So how do I know if the studio is going to do a good job? Never been in one but I'm going to do my first CD.
