800R or octopre?

Which one? I have a 002R and I'm replacing my Mackie 1604 vlz pro with one of these units. I think i have to buy a add-on card for the octopre to get it to my 002 whick brings them to about the same price. Correct me if I'm wrong, please. For drums mostly. Or is that not really a good upgrade from the XDR pres on the mixer? Thanks for the input. :?

Impulses. .anyone make their own?

I was at a corporate function at the legendary Ryman Auditorium here in Nashville last night, maybe 150 people listening to a guitar pull with 4 songwriters of some repute. .really got a chance to appreciate the sound of the room. How would one go about capturing an impulse to use with SIR or equivilant impulse reverb? Now I need to figure out how to get in there on the off hours and do it!

Freq. Analysis of Pro recordings

Hey guys - just hoping somebody can shed some light on this for me:

When running any "pro" recordings i have on my computer through a freq. analyzer, i notice that there's a sharp drop of ~70dB above ~15K. I've always wondered what caused this. Is it a result of MP3/WMP encoding? Noise/hiss-reduction? Some other processing done post-mix?

Thanks,

-Dave

Rectifier costs.

A live sound guy in Delhi just got his rig a 3 channel Dualrectifier solo head with a 4x12 Recto slant cabnit (must be the cheaper version).

No one knows how to use it. He had it onstage today and all guitarists totally fuked their sound. (but they are usually to dumb to know any better). I plan to hire it for a session in my studio ASAP. Real kicked about it.
