OK - how do you do it? As this is my game here are my rules: 8 tracks of analog; rock band; DAT machine; decent mixing board with, say 16 channels; a handful of decent mics & pres and such (though I care less about specific gear and more about dealing with only 8 tracks).

I've gleaned from Greg and Nika that if the Digi interfaces are really top notch the sample rates for getting audio into PT should not make any difference.

As running sessions at 96kHz is best
for the plugin quality, it makes sense to record at 96kHz then, even though the audio sampled should sound the same at 48kHz - it saves upsampling.

Hi everyone,

can anyone tell me what are the best uses for this piece of gear? It's a solid state mic/line-pre with limiter from the 70ies.
From what I've heard, it's supposed to be a killer on guitar cabinets and bass. Any experiences? Recommendations on setting it up?

Effects etc. Your opinions?

Hi folks. I'd previously looked at Fairlight stuff and thought it was pretty much too expensive for me. As it turns out possibly not.
A couple of comments on other posts here mentioned the quality of their EQ. Mostly positive. Anybody able to shed more light on this?
Also.

well gotta say thanks to all the people talking about their setups. i didnt know a god damn thing about daw's before i jumped in here and one month later i'm putting a machine up on my own.

works great so far, now all i have to do is spend the rest of my life learning about every nook and cranny of these monster programs and hardware, in other words i'll die knowing a fraction.

Hi all.
I'm trying to source a roll or three of 1" leader.
I prefer the 3M stuff - it's self-stickiness is greate for tops and tails of the reel where it needs to "grip" the hub... my normal supplier can't get it (Quantegy isn't sourcing it from anyone I believe...)
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

If so, what did you think? Useful on what? What would you compare them to? I see a lot of talk about the Dragonflys and less expensive mics but nothing about the more expensive ones with the exception of the Bottle.

OK, so I have this big pile of computer parts littering my living room, as I am now putting together two audio computers, porting all my stuff from the POS house computer to my *old* audio computer, and getting my Mac all backed up and ready to give with a clean install to my brother in law. I will keep everyone posted on the builds.

Quick question -
Does anyone here use a Neumann M149?
If yes, what is your opinion?
