Hi,

I'm looking at the Tascam RW-750 and the HHB CDR-830 for recording a send from my mixer - both units have unbalanced RCA inputs. The recorder will sit right next to the mixer so the cable run will only be short. I was wondering if it is worth spending the extra money to get a unit with balanced inputs...

Any comments/advice would be appreciated.

Ian.

I'm in rehersals with an anchor system as the main. It's one powered with one passive in parrallel. I'll be suplimenting them with eons for the show, but have a question about them in general. They are generating a whole ton of self noise. I don't work with this sort of industrial side equipment, so i'm supposing it's just the way they are.

Hi. I had looked for an "ideal" usb card for some time now.
I realized that the most important feature i'm looking for is the Hi Z instrument input that i see on new usb and firewire audio devices.
I'm wondering if there is anyway to do that "direct instrument input" with my old sound blaster live...

i am ordering an ESP urban camo mII from abroad (England) a friend of mine will do this job for me so unfortunately i cant test run it.
and the price i got is 1100 pound sterling. i want to know whether i can get a better price than this in UK or what if i buy it from America. is there a chance of bargaining on the product.

Just for fun I downloaded trial versions of both peak & t-racks, and was amazed how much fun I had. I also learned a lot about how to prepare for pro mastering etc.
IK and Bias had both of these on sale and I purchased them. The T-racks is the analog modeled mastering plugin .

ok so I recently purchasesd the new Daw, Dell Dimension 8400 3.2 P4 /w 1GB 533 DDR2 Ram. While i was messign aorund today i foudn a EW Colossus Sample that i oculd not load into memory with the 1 GB ram and 2 GB swap.

That is one hell of a samplel there..

Okay, so I'm not an electrical engineer. Listed below is an accurate accounting of my stupidity. Please help.

I am trying to create a line in/line out device with faders for the purpose of attenuation of an incoming signal. Kind of like a mixer, but without any extraneous stuff such as Pres, sends, returns, etc. Simply line in --> Attenuation --> Line out.

Does anybody here use this?

I'm sort of intrigued by it. I know it's supposed to have a very transparent sound, so I'm wondering how a pair would work as mains, piano or general duties.

I haven't seen it used very often for musical applications, although I've often seen it used for voice-over work -often coupled with a U87.

just got my mbox hooked up to my mac and everytime i go to make a session, it starts to create and then the screen fades to dark, and in a few langauges it makes me restart.? what is this?

I have a chance to buy a good used dbx 1086 for $350.

i know a few people that really dig the 1086, what do you guys think?
