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.

hey guys...Asus has just posted the new BIOS revisions for the P4B533 and P4T533 series boards. This will allow you to take advantage of the new Hyper Threading CPU's coming out very soon. Supposedly these new processors are to be released this month some time.

How ya doin? Been a while. Spent the last month in acquisition mode. Anyway back to the Mackie 1604 and tracking.

We had been having a discussion before about the limitations of the Mackie ie. wanting to record cmore sources than viable with 16 channels. So I'm wondering about the outboard pre scenario.

What if?

I have a back room in my studio that is used as a gear docking area or back the van into etc to unload gear. the walls around it are sound proofed. I want to use it to put another guitar cab in. I was thinking of just making a closet with 8" insulation on the top, 2 sides and bottom and just pointing the amp into it. Will this work or should I build a whole iso cab?

Howdy,
