BBE sonic maximizer: I see they have a red one and a blue one. Are there more than two types? And what is the difference?

I've always recorded my riffs, my ideas, EVERYTHING. And Its been great just have an okay computer, an okay mic that came with my computer, and an okay sound card. But I want to do a little upgrade. Okay, it might be more than little. But I want to buy some equipment I can use to get some high quality audio on a budget. Here is what I was looking at, and I'm thinking about investing.

OK guys...it was suggested in another topic for a new Interface
to look into an M-Audio Audiophile Pre USB for my computer.

What about an Audiophile Firewire?

And what about the E-Mu 1820 or 1820m?
Ever since I saw one of these, I've become rather enamored of it...

Now remember...these are just for V-O...no music recording and no simultaneous I/O...

After searching for my first "real" preamp I've decided on a Sebatron 2000eVu. I am putting money into an account and hope to purchase it within about 4 months.

for those looking for a G5, I went to macprices.com where they list the prices and places, and they just happen to have a dual 2.0 G5 listed for macmall (with an sku number) for $1619.

Hi,

I was told you guys can help me buy a new computer.

To begin with, I've decided to Echo's Layla 3G, which comes with Tracktion.

I write, sing and play a Martin D35.

I'm hoping to keep the price under $600, and will only need the tower (I think). We have a Best Buy, Circuit City, and various other computer stores here.

ok, this is a subjective thing I know, but I cant seem to get a "good" bass sound like I hear on pro recordings ( & demos).

Mbox -Pro Tools LE
Toshiba Satelite- P4
WIndows XP
Western DIgital 180gb external drive

Had fun today, here's what I did. Finished mixing a song a couple of days ago and i had borrowed one Auratone speaker from my neighbouring studio for mono-vintage-radiobroadcast-midrange-sounding monitoring. I usually do that to finetune mixes, tells right away if something sticks out too much. Returned the Auratone and missed it right away.

I thought it would be a good idea to put this in a new thread after reading your post on the Small Format Mic Stand thread.

It's an interesting idea to use AT4060s in a Decca Tree. I have always considered this mic to behave like a wide cardioid in its pickup from the front, but ordinary cardioid from behind.
