sitting here another morning before I tread off to my afternoon weasel gig - I recollect the events of a previous night's session. One remining me just how much you can do with a few good pieces of gear when you take the time to really use it.

Because the "Mix Fest 2001" information is scattered over many different threads across multiple RO pages, it can be difficult to find what you might be looking for. Here is most of the stuff you might want to reference. If any new decisions and announcements are made, please add a reply with a copy of any new reference information to this thread.

hi all,

i have heard great things about the empirical labs stuff - the distressor and FATSO. i have budgeted some money for some new gear and was wondering...

if you had to choose one or the other, which would it be?

(i have a PT setup)

thanks

I'm curious to know how many people connect the direct outs of their desks to the multitrack ins and how many connect the desk bus outputs? Does anyone use a combination of both?

Hi I am having problems hooking up a S/PDIF cable to my hammerfall 9636 card and my Tascam da-30 dat machine. All I hear is white noise coming out of the RMEcard. I am using a 75 ohm (I think) monster video cable. I also tried a regular audio rca cable and was getting a cliping sound over and over again. I also wasnt to thrilled in my hunt to find this little piece of text.

OK, so, we now know to get solid nickel contact patchbays rather than plated. Alright, now what's a good 48-point, 1U, 1/4" to rear solder, solid nickel contact patchbay? And what kind of price are we looking at; for 3-blades and 5-blades?
