I have just heard that there is some software that will allow you to use a Studio5 with a MPC2000, with complete control over all keyboards connected to the Studio5... without the use of a computer. Is this true? If so, how would one go about setting this up? TIA. :w:

Could someone tell me which of the two would work best for someone who would basically be using it to check monitoring levels?

Musician's friend has the highly touted Oktava MC012's with 3 capsules for $249. They also have the cardiod MK012 for $99. What is it? How does it related to the MC012? Is it just a single pattern MC012? Thanks.

after much research decided on intel ddr mobo, would appreciate any recommendations on the best one to use in particular with midiman audiophile+any problems/successes people have had
looking at
*intel d845pt (seems fairly poor from other reviews)
*asus p4b266 (good but expensive?)
*Soyo P4i fire dragon
*MSI 845 Ultra

Your opinions.Where does it sound better?(Drums,Guitars? etc.)

I am looking into purchasing some API 312's. I am looking at the vintage pre's with the original 2520 op amp and also the new 3124p with the new surface mount technology 2520 op amp. I understand there is a difference in sound between the two. Has anyone a/b'd these? If so what were your findings? How is the top end? Does one have more punch than the other?

While everyone's in the mood talking about consoles, I am keen to hear some opinions about the above one. :w:

Haven’t seen any talk of this (have searched the archives): I am producing/arranging a singer/songwriter who is getting nibbles from some majors. The style is pop rock and she does not yet have a band – I play all the instruments except drums.
