Any issues using them with Logic 7?
Can you suggest any others I can take a look at?
Thanks.

I'm interested in buying a laptop for school, but I also want to use it for recording music. I've heard a lot of conflicting opinions about Macs vs PCs and what to buy. Does anyone know/have an opinion on if it's worth spending the extra money for the multimedia/sound aspects of a Mac? Or should I go with a PC and put the money towards a good external sound card?

whats the best way to provide effects to musicians headphones but i would like to record everything dry.the manual says to not use the effects send when tracking, to use 2 unused adjacent channels.is there a better way .i have the ghost 24le desk and i want to supply up to 4 headphone mixes at a time and every one has different effects{reverb,comression etc} requirements.once again i don't want

I'm looking for a compressor/limiter for tracking to a daw (Pro Tools LE via mBox). I'm not really looking for it to impart a character, but more to just reign in the transients and keep stuff from clipping.

I just bought a 1-channel outboard preamp and a 2-channel outboard compressor.

My question is: how do I use both the compressor and preamp at the same time?

Do I use the effects send/return inputs? Or do I use a ton of XLR cables going from my mics to my preamp to my compressor then finally to my multitracker?

I just can't get a good Drumset recording. I've tried everything. I can now (after a week) get a decent drumset recording, but not near what I want. I'm getting there, but I can't get anything better than what I have. I've tried multiple mic placements, volumes, etc.

-- note: I am a drummer by nature ;)

Ok guys...I'm looking for a CD of individual drum hits. preferably metal/hard rock drums. The only CD's I can find are loops or Drum Kit from Hell/BFD type programs. I want to be able to load the .wav files into Fruity Loops to create my own drum beats.

OK. .I'm going to school this fall for a degree in professional recording arts. However...i also will want to be able to produce my own choons while I'm not in class. All in the electronic music genre. Im going to be using programs and plan on purchasing, Reason 3.0, Ableton live 4, and Native Instruments Reaktor, and Absynth and an M-Audio OZONE or O2.

Did my first live broadcast / recording with a Blumlein pair in our smallish studio (18x28) of a local folk group. Overall, things in the control room sounded pretty good, but there seemed to be a bit of a hole in the middle.

I'll grab the tracks and take them home and listen in a much better environment and see how the technique worked. I used a pair of AT4050's.
