yup another one of those 'what preamp shall i buy' topics..
But my question is subtly different..
I have a Focusrite platinum voicemaster right now, i use the eq normally, then run through a urei1178 ..With a condenser I'm getting pretty nice vocal sounds, and my dynamic guitar sound is fairly o.k.
BUT. .I have just bought a Shure SM7B dynamic mic, for rock vocals

is there somebody out there who can explain me what is and how does the MADI protocol work?
Thank you all.

a newbie here. i have an aardvark direct pro 24/96 soundcard running Cubase sl. i have been reading a lot about how important a good mic preamp is. does anyone think that mic preamp's in the 24/96 are good enough? should i go with an external mic preamp?

Hi all,

i want your opinion about the best sounding ad da converters on the market these days ?

i'm a recording mastering engineer and i'm using outboard gear (tube eq's and compression) when i master and i'm using the RME ad's and they are good converters,i am satisfied with their results in recordings, but in mastering they are ok,i'm sure there are better ones

My two Seagate Barracuda SATA drives are just too hot. During operation, you cannot leave your hand in contact with them for more than two seconds without getting burned. Naturally, I am worried about them. I have worked very hard to ensure that my PC is extremely quiet, so I want to avoid installing a third fan at all costs.

I have come to a point where I now need to start mixing my songs. My setup is mostly software-based and the problem I have, or don't have is this:

Hi all
One of my partners has to track some vocals in the Baltimore area in the next few weeks. We would like to find a RADAR equipped room to use for a few days - he can bring mics & pres if necessary. We are based in St. Thomas Virgin Islands and are actually the RADAR Dealer for the Caribbean - will rent the room or trade for tracking time in our studio.

again, i have a soundcraft series 1s that i got because i can't afford anything right now.

i've had it for about two weeks, and its worked fine. i just had a dead channel (1) and today the EQ wasn't working on channel five.

I am looking to buy a good used 2-bus EQ. That I can use coming out of the DAW and before going into wavelab. I am looking to spend aorund $1500 Any recommendations. I am using a Peavy VCL-2 for my compressor--for now.

I don't know if this is widely known and I'm just slow to the party, or if this is really that new, but Lynx has released two new stand-alone converter boxes. If they do for stand-alones what they did for "in-the-box" conversion - this is bound to be exciting.
