I have mostly TDIF format stuff in my studio though I do have a MOTU 2408 that has ADAT and TDIF. I am not that rich and I need some converter opinions

My choices are
1:RME not sure which 48 or 96k
2: Swissonic
3 MAYBE lucid but I dont think my partner will spring for them

also I am thinking about getting a Lucid clock

I've been doing research into the Digi 001 for about 8 months, ever since I went in to Guitar center and asked about the next step up from my Roland VS 840ex. The 001 is the only one that they showed me, and all the reviews I have read about it seem to be good. So now I am waiting for the windowsd xp version to come out.

Just ordered an MP-2NV preamp from Mercenary to compare to the Avalon 737. Anyone using it and liking it? What are you using it for? Any suggestions on mics for male vocals for this preamp? It is based on the Neve 1073.
Thanks

Plug-in order is a topic that should be considered when mixing or mastering. There are general guidelines, then there are lots of rules to be broken!

Here is what I understand to be a generally accepted all-purpose plugin order:

1) Noise Gate
2) Compressor
3) EQ
4) Reverb/delay

Anyone here have any idea how a lot of the folks in Nashville doing the newer country material manage to produce such a hard hitting - yet extremely transparent - snare? Does anyone know what mic's/placement/EQ is generally being used? It's driving me batty... Too much compression sounds fake, too much volume kills the transparency, and extreme EQ's just sound bad... Any suggestions?

I just read a *great* article in the February 2002 issue of Sound On Sound magazine regarding pluginsthat raised lots of questions in my mind about how I am currently using them. (I love articles that generate more questions than they answer!)

Sound on Sound is a great magazine (U.K. based). Check them out at:

hello.

I am looking for a synth module for good Orchestral sounds and possibly good drum sounds.
I was looking at a Roland 3080 but am open to suggestions.

Thanks,

Having problems with all my burners. I have a G3 with both SCSI and Firewire burners. I run both Cubase and PT as my main recording software. The strangest thing started happening the other day when I tried to burn a speech file. The final audio file burned to CD plays back a little slower than the previewed program track.

Hi,

Thought I'd step in the fresh snow and let you know my opinion of the flagship Yamaha sampler, the a5000.

ok, I'm now officially intrigued by this issue.
If anyone out there is an expert on Roland sounds or sound design in general and can clear the fog, I'd like to know the following:
