Looking for a very detailed mic preamp to go with the more colored units I have, Neve, 737, 610 on order. Anyone compared or have experience with the M5, 2022, Grace, or Earthworks pre's.

Hi guys

I've gotta take the sampler plunge

I messed with the demo (1.0) about a year ago and thought it was quite cool.

Anybody got a reason why I shouldn't jump off this bridge?

3.0
G4 400 SP..I'm planning buy more ram

the bitheadz website is not responding as of today..any word?

How to get a stereo recorded ac.guitar sound brighter without getting problems with the phase?
I use a delay (10 ms) or predelay for the Left track.It sounds different but good.
Your opinions ?

Ok, I am adding another comp to my room and I wanted your opinions. I will be adding the device mainly for character, smoothness and yes I want the "tube sound" for tracking and mixing mostly midi? My options are LA-2A a VT747 a FATSO or maybe even a Peavey VCL2? My budget is just about 2k. I know they are all tube and the LA-2A is just a single channel and a bit more than 2k.

Hi, I have my own small studio (PT24 5.1/88824/) and where I live it's a excellent option because of the price range and the advantages it gave me over other studios in the area.
Right now i'm doing SORT of Mastering, i mean I'm not a mastering engineer but here there are no options around so I took the advantage and I'm almost the only option around.

So, many of you gave me great advice on how to capture some great drum tracks with a great drummer.
Now, I've got a solid, groovin' rhythm section, but my guitar tracks lack that "magic" that makes them sound larger than life. There's no sparke; there's no love.
I'm tracking through a fender strat (I've used this same guitar for thirteen years and it's a great guitar)

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
Allen :w:

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
