My version of Cubase SX is on its way, and in anticipation, I have a couple of questions regarding VST System Link (I have read the VST System Link DOC from the Steiny web page). Anybody got any more info on this than I do?

1)When will the Cubase 5.1 version for System Link be released? Nothing on the Steinberg Web Site...not even an expected date.

Anyone familiar with this dual mic preamp? I've read some convincing reviews on the Vintech x73 but I am interested in a dual pre and have not seen anything on this unit.

Well, I just got an email notification that my copy of Cubase SX has shipped, and is due to arrive on Wednesday! :D

Amazing! I am pretty excited (I pre-ordered it right after it was announced), but am thinking that I need to build a new computer to run it...

We covered eq pluginsin the "Sony vs. Pultec" thread, and got good info. HOWEVER, some people who contributed to the thread suggested that they felt the compressor pluginsavailable for Pro Tools are not yet up to snuff. So let's have it! Who is using what and what are the varying opinions on the compressor plugins Anybody had the time to A/B directly against the hardware versions?

RO is putting together a new feature ... "Best Bang For The Buck DAWs". It's a basic guide, for newbies and intermediates, to help them put together the best DAW to fit their needs and budget.
We have it about 75% complete at this point, but need a little help with a couple of things. I thought that this forum would probably be the best place to get the help needed...

What do you think?

Question for you guys... I'm going to scrape together enough dough to build a top of the range vocal/instrument stereo channel. I've got about $15,000 to spend. I've researched a little, and here's what I'm thinking:

CRane Song Flamingo Pre

Avalon AD2055 EQ

2 CRane Song Trakkers

CRane Song HEDD

This may interest some of you who are in similar circumstances...

Hey? I'm here and I didn't pay! I feel so sneaky.

Now what new gear should I get?

No inspiring adjectives today?

When you get a minute c'mon by. We need some guys with common sense and good ears. Thanks.
