I just got my new board! A Soundcraft Spirit Auto made in 1993 and am SO very happy about it, (anyone want to buy a good used Topaz 24/8?).

So, here's my question: the board was made in 1993 and the automation software seems to be obsolute and/or unavailable. The manual states that it can be run by Cubase, JL Cooper stuff, Soundcarft software (mac only) as well as "any sequencer".

OK perhaps it's Madonna's nickname, but seriously what is MADI?

And what about that Euphonics box that connects everything to everything? How can it 'pretend to be a Digidesign interface"? Is that MADI too?

This is some serious digital sh*t, but still, we ARE talking about hardware boxes!

Who needs MADI?

:eek:

WHat compressor do you use when mixing to stereo?

OK Opus, I think I found the forum that you told me about from the Tascam site.

Just to refresh your memory I was asking about products that could record 8 or more tracks into Cubase at the same time.

I was listening to a current drum track and playing with phase switches while in mono. Listening to the low end it sounds the fullest with one over head switched out. The right from the drummers perspective. However, listening to the hi end I can hear a slight filtering type thing with this setup. From now on I will listen for this while tracking, but what adjustment should I make?

I have the opportunity to buy a Crown Dc 300 amp but have little knowledge about amps and their prices. He is asking $275 and says the unit is in near mint condition.

I use NS-10's but am thinking about selling them and buying a pair of Tannoy Reveals.

Anyway, I'd love to hear what you guys think of the amp. Jules?

Thanks

saw it on ebay...is it good?
dave? others?

i've heard a lot of good things about other soundelux mics, is there any reason this is not made anymore [if i'm right about that...]?

happy haloween!

Looking around, I cannot, for the life of me, find a better deal on a 4-pre package ( of truly world class amplifiers ) than the API 3124+, 2,500 bucks at Mercenary.

Jules, you've got a 3124 unit haven't you? Comments?

OK let em rip!

I felt it was time to buy a Tube Screamer pedal as it is supposed to be the cats pyjamas for rock gtr.. Anyhow the cool guy in the store said, FORGET THAT! Get a "Hot Cake" pedal (made in New Zealand) he said it is much better.. Link removed

I know some rock god producers have GIANT boxes full of pedals...

So far I ain't got ONE!

:)

Which would you prefere for program or overall mix compression before two track FMR RNC or Drawmer DL241? Why? Thanks
