I had planned to paste a thing I wrote up in notepad, but since its been discussed and answered here already, I shall simply start with the tiny, off-subject question:

#1 what the best thermal paste? and

(alredyansurd,thnks):

Anyone have any tips for Micing a live drum set w/shields? I have no experience with this, however I would imagine there would be problems with the sound bouncing off the shields and back into the mics. Here is my usual setup:

Kick - sm91
Snare - sm57
Toms - 421s
OH - dpa 4011

Any advice on placement or other mics I should try?

thanks!

A guy in town has one for sale but I can't find anything about it on the web.
It's 16X4X2.
I'd like to read up on it, hear some opinions.

Thanks

I'd like to purchase some Studio Projects Mics.
I need a decent set of OH's for my kit.
I have a TLM 103 I use for vox & other things so I'm mainly looking to use the SP's on Drums.

I am trying to find a set of overheads with similar characteristics to the Audio technica AT4041's but for a lot less dosh. A set of Studio projects C4's perhaps? Any ideas or new products that fit profile would be most helpfull. I am having hell trying to get Mics on loan so I can have a listen.

Thanks Guys

I am desperately trying to find a pair of drum overheads with similar sonic characteristics to the Audio technica AT4041'S, as these seem to sound quite good in my room, but are unfortunately out of my budget. Any ideas would be great guys.

Hi All. I'm looking for the best all around sound card for recording on a PC. No more than 2 tracks at a time necessary. And more than likely, we will not be using any midi stuff.

Any recommendations? I know the Audigy platinum pro is reasonably priced, but is it any good? Thanks much!

Hi folks,

I've heard about jitter and latency issues with USB MIDI interfaces. Are PCI any better?

Even so, I am looking at the Edirol UM-1SX or the M-Audio MIDISport 2x2, both of which are USB devices.

Does anyone make a dedicated Firewire MIDI device? Or can anyone recommend either of these devices?

Thanks,
cranbo

:D Howdy, One of our post guys had a huge amount of AV high res files on his mac for a given project. He wanted more drives installed. Not getting into specifics of the OS level and cards etc., this is what happened when his installer popped in the new drives.
