New here, came from Harmony-Central, looks great. Quick question (please delete if inappropriate, or otherwise advise): is the Dave McNair moderating here the same Dave McNair who I was lowly studio assistant to on a John Mayall record ten years ago? The album was recorded at Clubhouse in Burbank, and R.S. Field was the producer.

any ever use the Beyer M-88 classic, what is it best suited for?

Hello! I think I have decided on DP3 as my software of choice, to run on the fastest Mac out there (Woo!)...the dual 1Ghz Quicksilver.

Currently, I'm running OS X 10.1 (the default OS), and I imagine that DP is not yet OS X compatible. Did they say when that will be available and the upgrade cost?

What is the best most economical way to control 24 tracks or more faders in your daw?

Does anyone here have any experience with the Manley VoxBox in comparison to other pro preamps such as GML or Flamingo? Anyone not like the sound from this unit?

Just looking for input before I plop down the major $$$ for the unit... I actually found a negative review online and it shook me... :eek:

I lurk in here from time to time, never posted though, and this is the only time I've logged in w/my name.
I'm a small-time producer, working with Narada, Virgin, Higher Octave, Capital, BMG, Windham Hill, and other small labels.

I am new to digital audio. I use CakeWalk Pro Audio and am trying to integrate a Yamaha TG100 tone generator. In my Windows-based computer I have a SoundBlaster AWE-64 sound card/DI adapter.
