Which sound better for overheads, hi-hats and bottom snares? :roll:

Hi there,

Does anyone have opinions about these cymbals? I have a chance to get some from the source and perhaps take advantage of the exchange rate. How do they compare to other brands?

Thanks,

I have been recording profesionally for a couple years now. I made a big investment into converting my 2 1/2 car garage into a really nice studio. I have been fairly busy as of late with local bands (inluding my own)and have had great results with the exception of the last 2 bands.

I have been on a quest to find a sound card that works for my studio setup. I need ADAT lightpipe and sync, TOSLINK I/O, and eight channels of analog I/O. I have looked at the Aardvark 24 system. Any experience with their products? I'm using a dedicated PC. Thanks..

How important is having a pair of nearfield monitors with my home setup? I'm thinking of the entry level powered Yamaha (MSP5?) But is this an important part of the production element, or can it be substituted by some good headphones, and a spectrum analyser?

Thank you in Advance

Hi, I'm ready to recable my studio now and have some money saved up for it. I'm looking to buy preterminated cable in standard (non-custom) lengths.

I'd like something good that I won't outgrow; cable that's top quality which won't be the weak point in the path.

I also posted this on nuendo.com's forum.
I don't knwo about you, but I hate touching the mouse while tracking. I have been able to setup hotkeys for almost all functions except record enabling tracks. Is there any way to set hotkeys to record enable individual tracks? I'd like to set keys 1 thru 0 to record anble tracks 1 thru 10.

1. What's the best mike for.. (just kidding). New to the board. You guys are great. Learned so much the first stop-by in this rarified air. Love the "reasoned" approach, and the punishing disdain for those who won't exercise the right.

HELP! :confused:
I have been working on a Pro Tools / Mac workstation for the past 9mos. Instrument tracking is complete. I have been trying to accomplish Final MIX's in Pro Tools w/Sub-Professional results (consistently)! The bands and I am VERY DISAPPOINTED thus far. What can I do to get the Pro-edge that I thought I was buying into? (Duy pluginsalready being used!)

I have noticed that side-chain inputs are not common on the more traditional compressor designs. I understand why they would not exist on an exacting "reissue" model, like the "new" UA LA-2A & 1176 models - if the original model didn't have the feature, the reissue won't have it either.
