What are your 5 favorite pieces of gear? (= gear you trust and couldn't do without - not necessarily the best and most expensive stuff out there)

Mine are (in no particular order):

- SM57
- Sony DRE-S777 reverb
- AKG K270 headphones
- gaffer tape
- Waves Renaissance EQ

Hey all,

I'm tryin to slave reason, but when i slave it, i dont hear the notes being played, unless i record them and then press play, how do u get the midi to play out?

I just bought a 1010LT sound card that I plan on using with cool edit pro. I noticed that there are 6 rca inputs and 2 XLRs. from my mic preamps outs (which are 1/4 inch plugs), wouldn't I need a rca adapter from a 1/4 plug to plug it into the sound card's intputs? I think so, but when i do that, that reduces the six inputs down to three...no?

I am looking for a relatively inexpensive 8-channel D/A to generate headphone mixes. I actually need 16-channels total, but 2 X 8-channel systems will work. I am going to be feeding these from my RME 9652 via ADAT at 44.1, and taking the analog outs to a mixer for headphone mix generation.

So. For those who went already or may be going on Sat and Sun, what did you see that you liked, hated, laughed at or looking forward to owning/having in the near future.

I'll refrain from my list until I see the rest of all that I missed today tommorow, but there was some good stuff and a lot of it was good old fasion analog!

But don't wait for me, share your thoughts...

Does anyone else get this:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 12 bytes) in /home/www/recording/modules/Forums/search.php on line 640

when they try to view "new posts since last visit"?

I've been seeing that all day :?

does anyone know this mic which is quite cheap? It seems to be a good deal but I'd like to have feedback...

I'm trying to buy three pieces of analog gear to use in combination with my DAW.I'm looking for extreme analog color, character, personality, etc. I want to create a very unique analog signature sound. I'm looking at getting 3 pieces of gear: a dual channel compressor, a stereo EQ, and a 16 channel mixing board.

Hi friends, I am one of the unlucky users of old writing porgrams as Encore and Finale 98 etc..., my question is:
