I found a great reference site for recording material. This may be old news to some of you, but I found it useful. The drums section was a big help, as I am now starting to get into Micing live drums, plus the links area is really good.

I am looking for something to record bass directly into my daw and also use live, preferrabley tube. I don't need a lot of bells and whistles, mostly just a preamp and compression type piece. I've already tried the Pod Pro for bass and didn't like it. I want something simple but of high quality. My budget is $1000. I've been considering several options which include:

For those interested in what's new in the preamp market, check out the new Buzz Audio pre here...

SSA1.1 Stereo Source Amplifier

Target street price is US$1200 and units should begin shipping August 2002.

Yeehah!

I was in a shop today testing preamps and the salesman freaked when I turned on phantom power(on mistake). We were using a tube mic, the RODE NTK and he said that the phantom power would harm the tube in a tube mic's power supply. I have never heard this, is this true?

What is coming from South of the boarder is dynamite. I received some productions that..are so right on in dynamics, balance, and articulation.

PRAT (Pace, articulation, attack, and Timbre/Timing) is right on with the last 3 I received.

Take lessons and listen to this artform...both in performace and in engineering.

Hello all,

I recently recived some disturbing news, after looking into the very in-tree-ging Tube Echo unit built by Richard Beck in 1998, based on the famous Echoplex unit, (I have one from 1962!) called simply, "The Plex."

Can anyone recommend a good book as a crash course in mixing/editing?
What about a website?
This site is good for specifics, but I am looking for something to give me the basics, something to build on.

I am curious to know why there has been absolutely no discussion at recording.org on chaining multiple compressors in a row for individual tracks on mixdown. Does this mean that nobody is actually doing it?

Hi threre,
It's not exactly a computing question but I post it here anyway since you guys seem to be quite competent and ready to help.

I have an ANUS PC and 2 cards – Audiophile 2496 and SBLive connected via SPDIF (I keep it for soundfont playback). The SBLive audio driver is not activated. I use Sonar 2.0 under win2k and the whole setup runs just fine.

Alrighty then. I gots me a Sonar 2at the end of a chain of machines: BRC--3ADATS--Motu2408II--Sonar
