I just got HD 10. I know HAHA I know. So aaaanyway I installed the HD system and now need a monitor controller. Im using the alternate inputs on the Digi 003 as a monitor controller right now in the mean time. What do you use and what would you give it on a scale of 1-10 and why? Im not going to get a 5.1 controller right yet so think stereo.

In case you've not heard, Universal Audio announced their new Apollo 16 interface: a 16 I/O A/D converter and UAD Quad built in. This one is intended for the project studio that already has an arsenal of preamps, mixing console or combination thereof. These can be paired via MADI for a total of 32 inputs and two UAD Quad processors. All this for $2999. A mere $500 more than the Apollo Quad.

Hi, this is my first post. I've been lurking on here for years and soaking up a ton of great info, so a big thanks to all the contributors! Now to my question...

Hi,
I'm new to this so apologies if this isn't normally asked,
I'm starting a company that'll exclusively sell acoustically recorded drum loops as opposed to programmed/MIDI loops etc...& I wondered if I could get any
feedback regarding people's use of loops, or feedback on this idea

Hi i was loaned out a Sennheiser ME66 Shotgun mic from my work. The mic was working fine until the mic stopped picking up audio normally. We checked the XLR and the camera and another shotgun mic and the ME66 was the problem. You can hear someone if they talk into the front of the mic but it sounds like a whisper.

I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and KRK Rokit 6's. I want to power them off when not in use. The monitors have a switch on back, but would be much easier to flip one switch on a power conditioner. Also the interface doesn't have a power button. Somewhere I read to safely power it off, I should first shut down the computer, then unplug.

I just purchased an M-Audio USB Fast Track and was surprised to find it relies completely on USB for its power. How can a 5volt USB port supply enough power for the Phantompower which is 48v? Should I get a powered USB hub?

Thanks for any feedback.

Looking at adding another 2-bus comp to my chain. I'm going to get them both sooner or later but just wanted to hear some opinions. Please chime in and share your experiences on either of these.

Cheers!

I had Chris run a 2 mix of an older track I had that I want to include on my solo album. The original sounded, well, for lack of a better term, "empty"... almost as if you could put your hand through "holes" in the sonics, as if there were dead spaces in the sound.

What a cool guy sharing some great info from 120volt rails, clocking, analog gear, compression, order of gear and more. Thanks Howie and Marcel!
