I've seen a lot of topics and replies talking about the PreSonus Series Firebox, Firepod, Firestudio, but no one really talks about the Focusrite Saffire, LE, and Pro or the M-Audio Firewire Solo, 410 and 1814, and the MBox 2, mini and Pro?

So I'm just asking what do you think about them?

I'm movin to atlanta soon and I'm looking into funding and grants in the US for music or community projects. there are a few in the UK such as the big boost and the arts council who offer grants for non profit projects and i was wondering if there were any in the US and what are the criteria?

I'm running Logic 7.2
But i really desperately need more sounds. More synths, instruments strings and all kinds of sounds.. Where do you guys get yours?

Do you have recommendations for some that you already know of and use that you think i would benefit from.

I really really need to get my sound library pumped in a massive way as right now it's plain pathetic.

I want to use a compressor for my guitar, but I need some tips on what might work.

Most guitar amps compress the signal from the guitar. This happens mostly in the power amp stage of the amp. It is caused by the power supply sagging when the guitar drives the amp hard.

Hi. I currently work with an M-audio 1010LT. Not high-endI know. I would definitely like to have at least 16 channels of I/O into my DAW and have looked at many ways to achieve this. MOTU seems to be the first thing that comes to mind in the PCI arena. There are also a lot of firewire interfaces with up to 8 channels like the PreSonus stuff and Alesis.

Hello to all,

k i am trying to record drums and the drums sound amazing before micing. then after Micing they sound great trough my PA speakers. then they run to my firepod and... CRAPPPPPPPP first the eq is all wrong then one of the toms is louder than all the others. i have turned this channel all the way down and still louder than everything...

Hi,

Sorry to flog this dead horse again, but I was all set to buy the Apogee Ensemble. Then I read about coloration (CSI). What? Really? Is that just output or right in the track? Weird. I had one spoken for in an order, now I feel afraid.

So somebody mentioned the Lavry Blue?

I am going to be recording an upright bass for a rockabilly/ska type band. The bass has a pickup and he plays thru a GK amp and a GK 4X10 cabinet. I don't think I will have a hard time capturing the low end, but I am not sure what I should do to capture that signature rockabilly snap from the strings. . Would simply Micing the strings with a condenser do it or is there a better method?
