I had the opportunity to check out the Mackie DXB 200. First off, the store had a Yamaha DM 2000 sitting right next to it. The Mackie looked like the controls for the transporter room in original Star Trek. The Yamaha looked more like an analog console.

Can someone please tell me what is the difference between a bus and a subgroup?

I have recorded with one guy who has this and never really got into asking to many questions.

A few people I asked tell me its good while others say it's worthless.

Does anyone have a good working opinion on this board? Pre's?

I don't know if this qualifies as gear, but I suppose it would. Anyone know where to get good cheap RTAS plugins? All the ones I see are expensive.

Hey folks,

Hello everyone!
New to the site and lovin' it. :D
I'm looking at buying one of the RODE NT-4 mics, the one with the Stereo placed pair of capsules. Anyone given it a lash yet? if so how'd it go?
Or would i be better off going for a seperate pair of the NT-5's?

Hey everyone, new ot the site (recomended by joe lambert) and I wanted to hear everyones opinion on mixing within pro tools. I have had countless discussions on what is the best way to "finish" your mix (i.e bounce to disk, mix to DAt, analog tape) I have heard some grumblings about the conversion process that bouncing to disk does. Anyway, any feelings?

Does anyone know anything about this amp ?
On the front of the unit it says
SCS
SOUND CODE SYSTEM
MOS-FET
REFERENCE AMPLIFIER

Just got myself a TLM 103 2nd hand.
Now I'll be stuffed if I'm paying the $460 they want here in Oz for a genuine mount.
So does anyone know who makes generic shock mounts?
Thanks
Mark
