I've got a 220v power supply for a valve mic and need to find a transformer to use it here in the U.S. -- little help please? much obliged... :cool:

Hello All,

This is my first post to these forums, but I’ve been lurking for a while. You guys have posted some great information for both seasoned vets and budding novices. I think anyone who takes the time to enhance his or her craft should visit on a regular basis.

I'm sure some of you guys have heard that Yamaha announced the end of NS-10 production, citing a difficulty in getting the proper wood pulp for the woofer, yeah whatever.
Any NS-10 dudes out there nervous? Stashing those woofers and tweeters away like a buddy I know with cases of "Old" Coca Cola? Lookin for something else to replace em?

I am gathering supplies for a new patchbay, and its unlike any that I have built before. It is the patchbay for a portable recording rig and it needs to be very flexible. It will have the usual 1/4" longframe jacks on the front panel, but there will also be a rear panel with XLR connectors to allow me to connect new gear into the system by simply plugging it into the XLR jacks.

Sorry to be posting this here in this category. I'm wondering if anyone has studdied at full sail; and could tell me what they thought of it. I'm thinking about checking it out in a while. Thank you!

…A gazillion times? I am looking for a song and production to mix. The catch is, a bunch of people are going to do mixes on it besides me.

If you have a song that you would like mixed, and it’s a killer song, put up a URL to an MP3 so that we can listen to the song. I’m locking the topic after the first 20 submissions, so don’t put it off until tomorrow.

I feel that the arrangement is probably the most important parts of the actual mix. So what makes an arrangement great? What sort of things happen in a great arrangement? More importantly, what sort of things can we do as mixers to make an arrangement great?

I think that if we can figure this one out, we'll be half way to great mixing. So help me out.

Ok, another question.

At present, I am considering a P4-based DAW with an Echo Layla and Nuendo. Someone recommended I go with an RME card, preferrably with an ADAT converter.

I am curious to know what that is/does, and, if the Layla is lacking in some way, what other cards could/should I consider.

With another thread brought up regarding the sh*tty sound in pro-tools...I was left thinking today as I sat at a contol-24 - Playing with the 7k mouse, I started to dwell upon the premise of that the only sound of pro-tools (other that converters and plugs)is the summing math of the software.

I recently purchased a used HP 6000 scsi se drive array for backing up live performance recordings. It currently has 7 4.3 gig non hot swappable drives. So far I haven't been able to get the roland to recognize the array. Each drive has its own id #, the roland is "0" and so on. The array is terminated. Any suggestions on getting the two together or am I shhotin in the dark.
