Now here's a question I would love an answer to:

For the sake of debate, I know it starts with tuning, player, placement, etc. The focus of this thread is 100% drums in banks of 8. Budget is negotiable, but lets assume you have $10,000 total. Do you keep some money, or spend it?

I KNOW the benefits of format d: /z:64 on fat 32 partitions for audio

BUT

I am now reformatting a 3 disk softraid system which HAS to be NTFS...is there a benefit to formatting these at 64k? what would be ideal?

Hello all, this is my first post, but I've reading here and there the last few days . You have a nice place here :-)

After looking at various monitors, I noticed that a pair of JBL mid-fields and the Mackie HR824 near-fields were about the same size. If I'm looking for my main set of monitors, should I be going with strictly mid-fields? Is most of the work being done in studios using near-fields? I did some searching on the web but didn't see an answer.

Thanks!

Hi? I have a serious ? I'm new to the music scene and I'm having trouble getting my vocals and others to sound. . well like a normal voice should. I'm using a Mackie 1202 VLZ Pro mixer, its preamping my Apex 420 mic. The ?

I'm just curious what you all think about the AD8000's internal crystal as far as a master word clock. I used to have an Aardsync2, and then I bought the 8k. I really had trouble hearing a noticable difference between the 8k's internal clock and the aardsync, so I sold the aard.

Doing alternative rock stuff. I was thinking of trying a pair of distressors on the 2-bus. I already use one on kick and snr. The (compress the sh*t out of them and blend routine).Course I'd have to run a tone to make sure they are matched. That can be a PITA. Was looking for a good 2-bus compressor. Thought the Daking might be cool. Any thoughts or comments appreciated.
