I thought I would put out a little survey, and see what engineers, both pro and hobbyists prefer, and why.
When I walk into a studio, I want to see a mid sized console, with all the toys, a rack, or two, or six racks full of gear. Or two blondes with nice racks. :o )

What do you guys like!

Has anyone tried the new AE2500 mic from the artist elite series, its the new Condenser/Dynamic 2 in 1 Mic (kinda like pert plus). I talked to the company rep when he was in my area, he said its the revolutionary new mic thats sweeping the nation.

Since the "ANUS phenomenon" started, technology has advanced in leaps and bounds. So, since I've been away for a while, I'm curious what the current "State Of The ANUS" is. Since Gary's away, maybe you guys could fill me in on your thoughts on the current ANUS.

Hey Team, I'm a home recordist with a Pc based setup (Acid, Soundforge, Echo Mia) My front end consists of a Joemeek Mq3 and a Studio Projects C3/Marshall 603s. I want a warm sound! And. .I don't want to have to use much EQ to achieve it, Anyone use a Great River ME1NV? I spoke to the guy who designed it today (Dan) and he was very cool and patient.

Hello! What you think of the X/Y for the O.Hs?

hi,
can 2 digital S/PDIF pieces be connected by your average analog rca cable?

also 1 more, is there a quality loss or reason why you should not use an XLR to unbalanced 1/4" cable to connect gear to a patchbay. ie: balanced in/out of DA-30 to an unbalanced patchbay?

I am currently using a fender super reverb (circa 1970) for a keyboard amp. I'm pleased with the sound that I get from it, but the weight/size makes it less desirable for gigging. Does anyone have any suggestions for mid to small size amps (preferably tube)that still retain a full sound? The amp will primarily be mic'd.
