I'm looking to replace my 10-year-old Tannoy System 8 NFM IIs with something that has a little more bottom end and is a little flatter across the critical 1K-3K band.

I went to GC in Sherman Oaks, CA today and listened to what they had set up in that price range:

1. JBL 6328Ps
2. Event ASP8s
3. Mackie 824s
4. KRK V8s
5. Alesis 820 DSPs

Hi
I`m having trouble deciding which system to purchase. Please help me with this one.

Does sound card affect the audio quality? Or does it only act as digital signal processing?

G4 apple audio card plus Digi002 Rack

versus

P4 delta audio card plus delta 1010 rack

I'm just getting into recording and have recently bought some gear.
I am getting ready to buy some things to upgrade my current setup which includes:

I'm mainly looking at 3 mixers:

Behringer UB1002 Eurorack 10 Input Mixer
Behringer UB1202 Eurorack 12 Input Mixer
Behringer UB1204 Pro Eurorack 12 Input Mixer

is anyone out there using 2 layla 3gs on their pc? i bought a 3g thinking i could use ADAT and S/PDIF at the same time. i used to record my audio mixdowns via the S/PDIF of my lalya 20 bit and S/PDIF of my yam 01v. now I'm stuck with recording mixdowns analog!

i want to use itunes to convert aiff files (from Live 4.0) to mp3's so i can burn them.
my problem is that the converted mp3's are stretched out about 4x, and as cool as they sound, that's not what i want

can anybody help me on this?

Is is better to use Hi-8ME rather than Hi-8MP? Also I've got some at home except they say on them 'video'. Does that mean I need to get ones dedicated for audio or could I use the ones I have?

Cheers!

just like it says there..

i have a chance to get all these pres (the MPX 550 and Rev 500 are second hand) at more or less the same price...

although the MPX is actually an MPX 500 with a Chip 2 upgrade...whatever that is...i must admit I'm not very impressed by it...anyone ever heard of this?

I have a varimu and Massive Passive a Rosetta 800 and Big Ben and Masterlink.

What now? does anyone have any sugestions about rooms, monitors, and mastering processes using the gear that I have mentioned above.

More history:

The main studio is all analog into Alsesis HD24XR using TAC analog console for mixing and inserting analog gear during mixdown.
