Dear members,

In order for us to be successful with RO we need to gain members and see more interest in our community site/ protalk etc.

We will post your logo for free to whom ever contributes the most in our newsgroups of RO/ protalk during the the next two months starting Oct. 15 to Dec. 15 2000.

This could also be posted in the Producer's area, but I was here, so...

What speed do you burn CDs, and why? I have heard arguments that suggest 1x is still the king, others say the faster the better.

Argument for 1x : The faster you burn, the faster the disc spins, the less time it has to burn each pit. The result is more 'blurred' pits -- ie not the ideal square wave holes.

Does anyone know any methods or tricks on how to eliminate a 60 cycle hum through a home studio?

I have an Akai S1100 that is a real snorer.

thanks

a place for the sound mind

I'm looking at purchasing a mic solely for vocals. I've had some experience with U89s, U87s, TLM140, Geffals etc. recording in other studios (with great results), but as I am buying this for my own studio I want to make sure I purchase something amazing (as I'll probably only start with 1 mic). After a bit of research the options I have so far are M129, Manley Reference and Brauner VM1.

ASRX-Pro vs MPC 2000XL

If anyone has used either one of these sampling drum machines or BOTH of them, your reply is very much appreciated.

Just looking for some positive feedback to push me over that last hurdle and make a purchase.

Thanks!

Dopamine Sound System

I'd like my finished PT24 mixes to go through a nice compressor before I mix to analog tape but I can't decide between a pair of distressors or drawmer 1969. I've never used either of these and have only heard great things about them. The goal, of course, is to get that final bit of laquer on a mix, take some of the digital edge off, when going to tape.

I love the idea of electronic drums...100+ different kits at your disposal at the push of a button, no huge shells to lug around,
they take less space when they're set up, you can have band practice at low volume, no
more cymbal crashes at ear level, MIDI, and NO MORE MIKING HASSLES !

just bought a Pro Tools rig, love it!

What is the best mic cable now, right now I'm using standard mic cable. Does more expensive cable sound better?
