Hi Harvey, I moved in two floor up from here and I geuss I smelled the cooking! How is the new desk settling in? do you like it? You are a great engineer anyway, what is turning you on about using it at the moment? Does it have a history to tell of?

:)

There just hasn't been enough said about this machine...lately. Now that you've had the FATSO for a while...what do you think of it now? Do any of the Analog Channel type pluginscompare? If you had a FATSO, would you still want the plugins Basically, any thoughts on this piece would be helpful, I'm considering buying four.

Anyone out ever heard of or used the pre's they have and api style one 1/2 down page they claI'm is great for around $450. without power. and they will lunchbox em for you. What do you think?

Does anyone have an opinion as to which is a reasonable Audio chip inbuilt into a Laptop ?

I want to monitor WA vs etc on cans strait out of the Laptop without an additional USB box PC card
etc.

I've seen Yamaha, ESS, and Crystal in various specs.
I know the inbuilt chips are all a bit dodgy but which is the best of the bunch in your view ?

Curious ...

Anybody seen, heard or played these yet ?
Your opinions if so .

Thank you,
Kyle Ober

OK...similar threads have been posted all over this and other forums, but let's get down to the brass tacks here.

If you were to build a system from scratch, and money was *not* an object (to a point obviousy), what would you build, and what components would you use (brand names, etc.)?

On my first big recording project, I've already screwed up (a bit). The drums are all tracked, and sound pretty damn good, if I do say so myself -- with one exception.

The snare was top-miked only, and because of that, the sound of the snares is almost completely missing. The snare drum sounds almost like a very high-tuned tom.

First a cool engineer mentions it in an EQ interview, then some 'bargain' special offer posting in RAP newsgroup...This is starting to piss me me off, it looks cool - now I want one!
So, good hype? - Wazzzz it LIKE? Is there some special deal to be had for the 'first million purchasers' or what?

Hi

I use a Yamaha MD8 and the mic preamps are pretty bad. I was looking into mic preamps around the sub $300 price range. I was thinking of getting the Joemeek VC3Q which goes for $200. I'd like opinions of this unit and I'd also like to know if another mic preamp beats the Joemeek in quality in the $200-300 price range.

Thanks

ok - spent an evening today at a place with both a Great River NV, and a pair of Vintech 1073s.

I know many people have been buzzing about both, so I'm going to drop my measly opinion of what I encountered trying both out.

Mic source - matched pair of Schoeps cmc6/mk4v's

Program Sources - Steinway Piano, Sax, Male vox.
