Hi,
I don't know too much about ribbon mics, but I know I can't afford a Royer or Coles right now.

So, can someone enlighten me re: the merits and differences of the Beyer line. I know that the 130 is figure 8 and the 160, 260 and 500 are hypercardioids, but that's about it.

Howdy
I heard that the GML option is aimed at the US market? any thoughts on this or generally on the Sony GML option?

Thanks
Renie

What would be a class mixer for live recording? Portability is key. I shopped all the budget mixers and ended up getting an Allen and Heath 14:6:2, just because I had to have a temporary solution, wanted to be able to skip the EQ, and wanted to save my money for something class. What is there that sounds great and is permanent?

This week i have to buy a new CD-RW burner .
So it's urgent .
Can i trust firewire on my B/W G3 350?
A friend brought his rubber LaCie PocketDrive firewire HD & that worked flawlessly .
Anyone uses firewire, or should i buy a new scsi burner ?

Thanks
Marc

Hi all - I'm in the market to get a REALLY great compressor to track into Pro Tools. Primarily I record vocals and guitar .
I want flexibility in the compressor (ie from transparent to obvious) and also lotsa headroom. In particular something that can handle transients and peaks without 'popping' artifacts..
Money is no object so please cast your votes...thanks! :D

can anyone subgest cheap mixing monitors under $500 the pair (besides NS10s). I would like to have a subwoofer too, but if this price range doesnt allow it, I'll live. anyone?

I can't seem to figure this one out. My 1/4 in. patchbay starts a high pitch squeal as soon as I patch a good number of things or particular pieces, as I've determined, and that's as much as I can figure out. For instance, I can have 6 patches made, with no squeal. Then I patch in my Yamaha Motif keyboard and what emerges is the worst high pitch squeal.

I am looking to upgrade my computer, and have been thinking about getting a laptop to replace my aging desktop. Anyone have any experience with recording on laptops? I am looking to be able to record 10 or more tracks simultaneous, but I'm not too worried about loading up on plugins or virtual instruments. Also, I am probably going to stick w/ PC. Will a 1 gig P3 be able to hold up?

Howdy folks,
