compression : to Side-Chain or Not?
Forums
I am considering getting the Neve Portico Compressor. It is the only high-end compressor I'll have in my home studio. I was originally considering getting a compressor with a High-Pass filter option or Side-Chain so that I can use the compressor to only compress transients and let the low end on drums and bass come through. But the Portico is a great price for a sound I have always liked.

Ivory in Pro Tools
Forums
Hey everyone, I'm trying to get Ivory to work in Pro Tools LE 7.3
I create a stereo track, and set the output to ivory, then create a midi track and point it to it, arm the record light, and then when I hit notes on my midi keyboard the MIDI light flashes in Ivory, but it makes no sound and doesn't send any to the stereo audio track.

Phantom Power is a mystery
Forums
I was hoping someone could explain why a large diaphragm condsenser mic needing 48v, worked just fine today when I plugged it into an UltraSound AG-50DS4 acoustic amplifier at a music store when the amp is rated as only driving 15v for the XLR input ?
What is going on here ? Is there a problem hidden around the corner ?
Anybody ?

Saffire Pro 26 - Mac Recording Software Options
Forums
Hello, first post here.
I recently purchased the saffire pro 26 (love it) and am using it on my PC recording with Sonar 6. However, I am looking to make my setup mobile by purchasing a MacBook. I currently have a 4 space rack with a power conditioner-Saffire-and a 2U drawer. I have never in my 27 years used a Mac and know absolutely nothing about them especially mac software.

Hunting wabbits...and 17v PS's
Forums
Umm...not actually hunting wabbits. That's Elmer Fudd's job. My job is tracking down a +/- 17v power supply for a 40 ch. Soundtracs MRX. I spoke with Steve Magalnick, who is pretty much THE US Soundtracs guy, he advised me to pick up a few Power One supplies (48v 1A and 24v 2A and +/-17v 3A per leg) and wire them up in a box.

So I need suggestions for some broadcasting gear for our college radio station. We are soon going to AM and will be upgrading our equipment.
We just bought a Radiosystems RS12 broadcast board. We have a UREI compressor on the output and a basic EQ.
