I have narrowed my choice in a mixer that will be used mostly for recording and mixing drums. I am interested in the Mackie 1604 ProVlz and the Allen and Heath Mixwizard, model WZ16:2DX. I do not care too much about features, just quality. Does the Mixwizard have better preamps and EQ than the Mackie? I'm concerned about headroom, being that I will be using this for drums.

Hi folks. Consulting the oracle again. Came across blurbs for the Groovetubes Vipre variable impedance preamp.Just wondering, has anybody checked out this unit? Any opinions? Quality etc.?

Kind regards

I'm about to purchase (in the next few weeks) a PT system. Most likely a PT Mix Plus. However, before I tangle with a Sales Weasel I'd like to go in armed.

Hello. This is less of a gear outlook and more on the product/artist development side.

My Compaq (works great for multimedia, but TOTALLY unreliable - no wonder they're on their knees) is down AGAIN so I am forced to record on a Toshiba laptop. Only there's no line-in (mic-in only) and hi-impedence signals will be distorted by the pre-amp of the mic-in.

I have both a PC and a Mac. I've installed a network card into the PC and set up TCP/IP in both Mac and PC so that they can see each other (e.g. PING works). Do I need anything extra to be able to copy files between the two computers. If not, what do I need to do ?
Thanks

...seem to normalize the track volumes?

I import stereo audio and it asks if I want to convert to two mono tracks. Simple enough - it's going into one audio track. The only thing I notice is it seems to normalize the track volumes taking away individual track dynamics...

Am I doing something wrong or going crazy?

Hi All
I am currently recording vocals (female voice) with a RODE NT1, yes I know I know.
I am going directly into the mic preamp on my Trak 2 and into PT at 24 bit 44.1kHz.
OK it's time to upgrade.

Hello,

I have 2 Empirical Lab Distressors that I have owned since the spring.

Since Zythum Studios has been "under construction"
(alomost the entire year!), I have really not had the oppertunity to really tweak them thru the testing grill.

I would love to hear from you all on what your expierences have been with The Distressor.

Hi

The son of a friend of my wife's mother :-)
wants to get rid of his piano :-)

Don't get a piano offered for free every day, do you?

It will be tuned/checked on monday

After that I see myself trying to record my pling-ploing

Problem is I don't know a thing about recording something a bit realistic (for a realistic price).
