I would love some feedback from users of Giga Sampler or Giga Studio (I don’t know what the difference is). I am considering Giga Sampler in lieu of a hardware sampler mainly due to the fact it would be easier to record-edit-store on my PC. I would love to hear your praises / shortcomings with this line. I am mainly going to use drums / piano /strings /sound effects.

Just wanted to tell you about the banter of messages at the Cakewalk/Sonar users forum that your following quote created.

I have a digital 8bus mackie. I hate the way it sounds. I know the Yamaha dm200 has great features but how does it sound. The Mackie does not have clarity imaging or punch. lifeless another words.
I am trying to choose between going for a better digital console or going out of my computer into a Dangerous 2-bus.

Hello,
I need to sort out some lingering ?'s. Firstly, I have heard about this software RAID option in XP and 2000 In "Tom's HW.com". Any experience(s)?

I just bought a Really Nice Compressor. I want to use it with my Studio Projects VTB-1 mic preamp.

The RNC instructions say:
Hooking up the RNC to balanced lines with TRS 1/4" plugs will not work! If the equipment you are connecting the RNC to is balanced, you must first unbalance it and only connect into the RNC with TR 1/4" plugs.

My son (13) plays drums in a band (they're all 13) and I recorded + mixed some tracks. As I'm a newbie to recording/mixing I would like to have some comments/critique/etc on the sound.
Thanks for your time.

Hi All,

Buzz Audio is running a Giveaway Prize Draw to celebrate the imminent release of the new SSA-1.1 preamplifier. You can win one, entry is free...

I know know...Too much information right? But holy leaping performances batman!
Couple of things are doing this for me...
One, the new 3.06Ghz CPU is shipping!
Two, PC3500 DDR from Geil is amazingly fast! It's blowing RDRAM out of the water!
Three, Granite Bay chipset boards are coming out late November, early December.

has anybody out there had trouble from time to time with their foot pedal not being totally secure? more specificaly, you attach your pedal. and when you tighten it so it's snug. the base creeps off the ground a bit.

I am want to go out of my MOTU rack from DP to a summing mixer. I have heard great things about the Dangerous 2-bus and the Manley 16x2. Which one has more headroom and sound better. I am interested in sound only. I don;t need the knobs. I will be doing all automation in computer.
