What order do you folks recommend doing things in the signal chain..

EQ
Dynamics
effects
etc.

Has anyone a/b'd these?

Could someone explain wath's the deal with impedance match between mics and pres ?
On some hi end pres it seems that the gain button is replaced by an impedance button.
Is the an audible difference other than the obvious distortion(like in a Marshall low-Z input) ?

please tell me more about the importance of this small detail.

I'm running XPpro on five PCs in our family. The sixth has Win98se on a 2GB HDD. It's my 4 year-olds. Can I get XPpro to run on a drive that small? He's running Dr. Seuss and the like (though he has already burned his first audio composition on Dad's system! - what a whacked out track!) and I'd like his PC to run like Mom and Dad's.

Thanks.

I'm a just out of school engineer and a first timer on the site. I've got a small project studio in the works. I decided on a Mackie sdr24 for tracking, digi01 for editing and possibly mixing. What I wanna know is how much difference in quality for tracking is there between MX900 and Mackie 24x8. Price is 1300 vs 2600. Is it justified?

Hello~

What *is* the diff?

Is there any way to get outboard hardware inserted into the audio chain? It would be *so* awesome to somehow insert an analog hardware compressor into the audio chain via my soundcard.

This sounds perfectly reasonable, but I never hear about this. Am I high?

Any info--anyone?

Thanks-

hello; i'm graduating from a school in 3months for recording arts. I was just wondering if I could get some feedback on what is expected of an intern in the industry; and what will potential employers be looking for. Oh yeah; i make the best damn coffee too!
