itty bitty condensers?

I was on this forum about a month ago and somebody had posted a link to check out some itty bitty condensers that only cost like $20 a pair, I think. I didn't save the link and now I can't remember what the hell they were called.

Remy, I think you were the one who posted the link. .maybe not, but hopefully you can help me find these wee bastards.

Mastering and reel to reel

Hi, I'm thinking of running my mixes through a reel tape recorder to get that analog feel in them. I just don't have a clue about which one to get or anything like that. Is there a particular recorder that people use for this sort of stuff, or does it even matter a lot? I got some advice to get this atr guy but he's like a gagillion dollars. Any advice would be helpful.

Death of the CD?

I've been reading more and more about the coming demise of the CD. And honestly, it scares the hell out of me. If digital downloads is what it is coming to, fine, I think it's great, but do they have to be MP3s? They sound awful! Why isn't there a way to download full size 16 bit, 44.1 wav files? Does it really take that much longer to download? And isn't it worth it to take the time?

The last purchase... a preamp! (choose your own adventure)

Allright, good people. So I need some advice on what to do here. I'm recording in Protool LE with a Mbox. Using 2 RODE NT5s. Basically tracking some quiet acoustic tunes. I need to get a preamp for around 200. 2 channels so I can record in stereo. Some recommendations:
M-Audio DMP3
or
get one of the following and switch out the tubes...
ART TPS II

Start small or go for expandability? Firestudio or Firepod?

I'm thinking of buying a firewire soundinterface in the likes of PreSonus Firestudio, mostly because of the expandability with the ADAT connectivity. Thing is, for a poor sound engineering student like me, that's a lot of money. I'd gladly put out the money if it's an interface i can do with for some time.

Problems in recording studio

Hi, I've been remodeling my recording studio but I've come across a small problem. My tracking room is next to a parking lot ramp, so everytime a car passes by, some parts of the structure vibrate and produce a very low rumble. I already used a lot of fiberglass between the actual wall and the drywall in every wall in the room. What else can I do to resolve this problem?
