Hello.
What are the sonic qualities of different sorts of tape (ex. 456, 499, GP9, or others).
I know that you can hit some harder than others but how do they compare/contrast in sound?
I am using a 1/2" 8-track machine at 15 ips; recording music of the rock 'n' roll & pop varieties, with the occasional piano or string section.

Hello-

This might be a little simplistic as it doesn't encompass design/capsule/electronics so i'm postin' it here instead of SP's but if you can help SP that's cool as well!

I have noticed an increase in complaints concerning mp3.com recently. They have re-vamped their process, and everything now is more confusing and takes longer. I attribute this (I'm guessing here) to a combination of increasing submissions and cuts in staff.

dp3 just started shipping. check out the posts at http://www.unicornation.com

Anyone own or have tried these? What do you think?

Hi all
My VS880 friend who I've mentioned in previous posts has just purchased a Mindprint En-Voice Chanel Strip and a cheap Korean large diaphragm condenser mic. Don't know what the mic is. . it's got "MC01" stamped on it and that's it. :D
He spent about $1600(OZ Kangaroo Skins).

So if I've got a HEDD, do I need a FATSO?

I recently picked up a HEDD, and while I really like it for certain types of things, it seems like it's pretty easy to go overboard with the effect. The "triode" distortion, in particular, doesn't sound very musical to me... it kinda reminds me of the crappy DRG "radiance generator" function on my old Finalizer, which I didn't like either.

Any other Planeteers looking for a place to land?

Hi guys
Any comments, good or bad, abouth the Mindprint En-Voice chanel strip?
Is Mindprint gear in general OK?

In answering I will try to be fair to all involved (I’ve got to say that I’m really touched by some of the nice things users have said about me recently at greatidea.com)
