Live PA

Hello guys,

This isn't recording related but I use this forum for help some times and thought someone might be able to advise.

If I get a pair of Active PA speakers or passive speaks with an amp is there ANY reason I wouldn't be able to use a Zoom R16 as a mixer for the purposes of a small live gig for about 150-200 people.

DAV BG1u + WARM WA12 vs Focusrite Liquid Channel and ISA One?

Hi,

What are your thoughts on a DAV BG-1u + WARM WA12 (or upcoming TB12) as a preamp combo vs the Focusrite Liquid Channel and ISA One?

These will be used mainly to record vocals and acoustic/elec guitar and bass.

The advantage of the Focusrite pres is they have built in A/D conversion which may be an advantage. My interface is a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 DSP.

basic recording equipment

I'm working on my home studio right now, and I was hoping to get some input on what the "Must Have" items are in your opinions. I have a Tascam Us-1800 (16 by 4) interface for A to D, Pro Tools 10, various Mics ( one large diaphragm dynamics, several small diaphragm dynamic, and a small diaphragm condenser) mic stands, cables, amps, guitars,a PA, a drum kit, stuff like that.

Mackie monitors or Sennheiser headphones?

I'm trying to do the best I can to monitor and mix my own stuff with a really low budget. I can't afford more than $200 right now, and I'm working in an untreated room. Through craigslist, I have the choice of a pair of Mackie MR5s or a pair of Sennheiser 598 headphones. They're the same price. Any recommendations?

Which one?

I'm looking at two different Mac Pros on craigslist. Right now I'm running a 2.3Ghz Dual Core G5 with 6GB RAM.
I know you can buy the quad core and then always upgrade the ram later, but i'm wondering which one is going to better as it is right now. I use a lot of plugins, and as many as 30-50 tracks in some songs.

Here are the specs of each:

64 vs 32 bit computer system for DAW?

Hi All,

Just a quick question (I hope :rolleyes:): For a DAW is it then preferred to use a 32 or a 64 bit system? I'm considering Samplitude as a recording software (but not only this software), will use win7, and need a quite fast machine that is also future proof (to the extent possible) ...

Thanks for any insights you may have :redface:
