Being a drummer myself, I'm always looking for a better way to record drums. The other day I tried recording individual pieces of my drums and then sequencing them in DP3. It came out better than I thought it would. I used an Audix D4 inside the kick (I have Tama Starclassic Maple drums which are awsome) and a tube condenser about 3 ft away.

I have a bit of cash coming my way soon and I think I'm going to use it to buy a "proper" condenser for general use. A U87 springs to mind as the obvious choice but when I thought about it I have no idea what other mics exist that are on par with the Neumann at a similar price.

I have been having trouble reading the forums here at R.O. and others lately. I can go to the "Table of Contents" page, but the individual threads will not open, and I get an error message saying "Cannot find server or DNS error."

Hi,

Having posted this before at the TechTalk-dept I figured this would be a better place.

What would be an easy way to determine if
an S/PDIF (or AES/EBU) signal is 16, 20
or 24 bits ?

i was looking at getting a Radikal sac2.2 controller for my nuendo system.. i found one for $1500... but is just a controller nothing more.. i got offered a used D8B for $2100.. with version 5.1... to me thats the betetr buy not to mention it can still be a controller for nuendo 2.1 but it gives me a chance to expand a little more..

what do you think? :confused:

I have the option to A/D with either the MOTU 896 or Finalizer 96k...has anyone tested them and know which sounds better in the end?

I am looking to replace my Mackie 16 with a better console for warming up my DAE output (Logic / MOTU 896). I am looking at a couple consoles like the Sony MXP-2000 and Studers. Any professional advice? I'm open to other mixers $5000 and less and I am looking for nice warm sweeteening eq and channels that sound good when the gain is crunched. Thanks!

I'm in the need for a 1 rack space 24-48 point patchbay.

My only requirements are that it is:

1) manually switchable (on the front or top of the unit) between normalled, half-normalled, open and parallel.

(would rather not have to open the unit up and solder if I don't have to)

2) 1 rack space.

3) As high quality as my budget can allow.

Hi guys I have a question about something I was thinking about today. Lets say you have a Sebatron vmp-2000e and 2 channels of Neotek console racked with EQ now can you do this I wonder...

"Kicking the tires" of the 2408mk3 and fielding opinions. Your "input" would be appreciated.
