I'm running XP Pro, and I want to COMPLETELY uninstall most of the major Microsoft components without damaging the OS. I want to get rid of MSN Messenger, Outlook Express, Windows Media Player, and Internet Explorer, including their POS download utility. I hear that this is all possible, but rather difficult, and it must be done thoroughly and meticulously.

Hello. I'm looking for an 8channel A/D converter to go into my 2408mk2. I'm not happy with the 2408's converters. I also plan on getting a word clock generator. I've considered the RME and Swissonic boxes, as well as more expensive 2 channel boxes like the Lucid and Apogee. Any thoughts on how the sound quality of these differs?

I love a 57 Sonar and hate a piccilo snare to no end.

What are your favorite snares and how do you like them tuned?

Do you mic from the bottom, top or angled at rim?

Lets get this forum rocking folks.

Snare, kick and hat is the foundation of the kit. Lets talk.

Okay, I am laying out my budget for a mic (or mics) for about $500 dollars. And a converter/preamp box from $800 to $1000. I am so torn on this please help!

1 I got $500 dollars to spend on microphones. I have been thinking of getting the (AT 3035) and the (RODE NT1000) both together cost $500 bucks.

OR? should I get the (RODE NTK)? $500 bucks by itself.

Hey All;

Just upgraded my converters and stuff and had a couple questions:

I managed to get a used Lucid ADA8824 and Genx6 for an amazing price, and picked up an RME Digiface to use along with it-I've never used lightpipe/toslink stuff but understand how it all works fine.

I have song song where there are 6 people on the track. 5 of them are on a MXL 2001 + a ART Tube OPL preamp with a very close promimity(prox 3 inches. The last vocal is using a MXL 2001 + a Studio Projects VTB1 preamp (prox 6 inches. The new vocal sounds way cleaner. What would be the best way to make the old vocals or new vocal sound like they match?

Now, this "biz" thing is any mass-media/content buisiness you find yourself in.

My wife works in advertising, and has clued me in to this. It's going to sound obvious to all of you cynics out there, or you may have heard it before, but give it a real long minute to think about:

Content is only there to get an advertising audience in front of the ads.

We need help, please. We have pro tools for recording and Cooledit or sound forge wavelab for mastering/premastering. We have two computers that both have all apps on them.

Hi There, does anyone have any suggestions for a good guy to look over and rack 2 Calrec PQ1061s, a Neve 33314a Compressor and a Calrec C1204 Compressor. Would really appreciate any info, I also have a lot of other vintage gear that needs some attention, such as a Cadac board and some BBC Glensound equipment, so a good recommendation would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,

Hi all--

First post, so hello.

I just got rid of my dbx 286A which got replaced by a used Joemeek VC1Qcs and a new RNC. I wanted more control over the compression for guitars, and vocal tracking.
