I wonder if anyone here knows any details about how Gus Dudgeon got the great piano sound on classic Elton John recordings (the Madman album comes to mind). Of course, a great piano, great player and great gear make an enormous difference, but I'm curious about the specific technical details.

I suppose this is a question for the more high-endpeople around here. We've been talking some about how Pro Tools isn't the best thing to trust your level/mixing chores with. Has anyone here stretched out on one of the top level digital mixers? Oxford, Axiom, Libra, etc.? Any opinions? Are these boards the same sonic letdowns as some of the less expensive stuff?

I'm looking for a new compressor to work mainly on vocals during mixing but flexible enough to use on other sources occasionally. A few months ago I used a Summit DCL200 which I loved. It could be used very subtley with just enough of its own sound to add a bit of sparkle, without really changing the character of the original source.

Hi all,
I am using Cubase VST24 3.7 with a Korg 1212 card and a 8 ch Tango Frontier Design
20bit AD/DA. I am planning to switch to Nuendo (I thing it will be better for my sutdio)
and I want to improve the audio quality. The Tango is "dying" because of a heat problem

Howdy

Ah...the forums work again...

What's everyone using as a master keyboard these days? I'm just curious to see what the "hot" new thing is (if there is one).

I use the Yamaha S80. It has nice action and good sounds (especially with the piano card). Oddly, I still see a lot of guys using KX88s...talk about longevity.

Hey, I was thinking about switching over to W2K so that I could run dual processors, but I was wondering how the ASIO beta drivers worked with Windows 2000. Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

does anyone have a tip for reversing a soundbite?

So many choices...

I am buying a new kit and am not sure which kick pedal to buy. I bought a ludwig classic birch 20" kick. Am I better off with a DW ?000 pedal over a nice ludwig? What do you think? What do you use?

Thanks!
