I'm posting this here only because of higher traffic and quicker replies than on the Keyboards or even Roland forums on this site. Also because I don't have much time to resolve this issue, a deadline is approaching and I need this sound!

The goal:

I am trying to achieve the so described "Dry-in-your-face" acoustic sound.

Hi everybody

My old AMD K2 450 MHz just crashed, and I`m tired of fixing the damn box every month. So I`ll build myself a new DAW. I`m so glad that there`s this forum, I don`t know what I would have done without you.

In an earlier post I asked help with designing a laptop system, and want to thank Opus and LittleJames

Hi everyone,

I've recently purchased a Layla24 after returning my MOTU828. I was wondering if anyone familiar with these two products could let me know how the converters in my Layla stack up to the rest of the crowd of digital break out boxes. Thanks!

how necessary is it and why?
I'm using the dm24 along with Sonar and has metering, but I see it also can add a meter bridge.
being very green to all this ain't helping me much...
I mean I can grasp the initial concept but...
thanks again

what are some good mic placements and usage for recording drums?

kick, snare, hi hats, toms, over heads

and how about some compression settings, if any?

maybe point me at some cool articles or whatever...

thanks heaps.

I have researched a number of the "china syndrome" offerings :) and would like some learned opinions on what I perhaps should purchase. This one mic will be used on a male vocals for a demo to be produced in yes. .a home studio environment. I've twice read great reviews about the Studio Projects C1.

Anybody hear one of these? Anybody have one? I am a recent Soundelux convert and now am looking at this mic as well as the 251. Your feedback please.
Steve

Looking for a very detailed mic preamp to go with the more colored units I have, Neve, 737, 610 on order. Anyone compared or have experience with the M5, 2022, Grace, or Earthworks pre's.
