Does anyone know the formula for calculating total AMPS? For example if you add up all your gear's maximum wattage and say you come to 1,000 watts, how many amps is that?

I know you're also supposed to add 10% of buffer to prevent overloading the circuit.

Hi all
I'm a little confused about the Brauner VM-1, as I have read many conflicting descriptions.
I know it can be sibilant, but how transparent or natural are the mids? Is it all top end? How different are the Valvet and Phantom?

Thanks
John

I just bought a firewire audiophile, and now I need to figure out how to set everything up...Before I used a very make shift way of recording, and now I wanna do it right.

I am using an old reciever as an amp. I have a small mixer and the audiophile.

I have all the connections and wires, but I just need a little direction...

I bought a pair of these from an ebay store a few weeks back and finally have had a chance to use them on a few different things:

1. Drum OH's. .they did fine, not overly hyped in the high-end . In fact, they're rather flat except in the low end, where they start to roll off at about 80 Hz, which IMO is fine for OH's, I don't want too much low end info here.

I have a Country/Gospel gig coming in that I can use as a reason to get a mic or two. They have two female singers and one male. I have not worked with the girls before but have not had really good luck with my existing mics with female singers.

Is there a conflict that would prevent Cool Edit Pro 2.1 from running on a computer that has Vegas Audio installed on it? I am having that problem. I am running Windows XP service pack 2 and have a CardDeluxe Analog + Digital Audio sound card.

Thank you for any insight into this.

Hello am soon to embark on recording a singer song writer, a dude and his gtr. In the past i have recorded vox a lot and acoustic gtr a fair bit but never at the same time, well not seriously anyway. I wanna get a good pro result not too ambient sounding, something like Nick Drake or etc etc.

Help me understand the basic function of recording on a DAT recorder

I bougth a secondhand DAT recorder on ebay, with only a small german basic manual
I have uploaded scans here: http://if837.bravehost.com/dat/

Sorry if this is an incredible stupid question but... What is "factory matched pairs"? I was looking at RODE NT5 and they come in matched pairs... What does that mean? If I buy one now and one later when I can afford it, will that result in them "not working as good together" as they would if they where factory matched?

I was thinking on OH and ac.guitar..
