I recently got a nice new IBM 40-gig hardrive for my Dell 550 and am loving having all this space, beautiful storage space. Problem is since intalling it, my system has developed some tics. Most notiably, my CD burner can't make a clean burn any more. While this may be coincidence, the timing leads me to believe it isn't.

I just got a Soundelux Elux 251 and must say it rocks. It seems a little clearer than and old Elam, but definitely sounds like its from the Elam family. I was curious what changes to the amplifier design Mr. Bock made to make the mic sound like it does.

Hola amigos,

Have had a Crane Song HEDD 192 in my room for awhile now, and despite glowing recommendations from lots of my engineer pals, I'm not sure if I like the damn thing. Was hoping to hear more about specific usage of this box from any HEDD fans out there. Maybe I'm doing it wrong...

Hi guys,

I'm currently recovering from a session I engineered this past weekend. I'm wondering what some of you think about how it went down and what you would have done in the same situation.

I am currently using a Yamaha 4416 but am thinking of purchasing the Alesis HD24 when it comes out, just so I can go back to an analog mixer (man do I miss knobs). Is this bad to go from Digital to analog than back to Digital for CD? Will my sound be much worse than using the 4416, that I am currently using?

I've just recieved a book that microphone fanatics might be interesed in:
the "Microphone Data 2001" book from Rycote.
It is 952 pages! of current production mics.
Kind of like having every manufacturer's cut sheets in one place. It was compiled using data prodived by mfg's, so the content varies. But at least it is fun in it's overwhelmingness. .

"Perfection".. that's just to get Fletcher's adrenaline going.
Question is, I read all kind of artiles on Apogee being the Father of conversion, yet see you guys seem to deal with other brands more (or maybe I haven't been here long enough)

Here's an idea for the wish list.
The HDR has empty card slots available. I'd like to see an option to add digital I/O to be used simultaneously with the AIO*8 Cards.

Well.. that sounds a little off topic.
But it isn't. I've read their is some degree of consideration that has to be paid to the sensitivity of large diaphram mikes to high levels of sound.
