Does Radar 24 really sound better than Radar II and if so how ? - bearing in mind a decent set of converters alone would normally cost as much as the entire Radar 24 package (or does the advertised package not include everything)?

I hate the black and whites. No, I am not racist. I hate playing the keyboard sometimes. With all this modern technology at our hands, it surprises me that most synths still are usually controlled buy a keyboard, with maybe and aftertouch wheel. I'd like to change that.

Here is my idea for the ideal patchbay, for me at least.
I'd like to have 1/4" TRS connectors on the front, normalled, switchable to un-normalled by solder, jumpers or switches. The back will have ELCO connectors, compatible with ADATs. From there I can also put 1/4" connectors on the ends of the ELCOs to interface to my equipment, ADA's, whatever.

Mixerman, I find that your statement " the sound gets smaller the more sounds you put into it" rings a chord in my brain.
The really interesting thing is, lemme see if I can put this into words :)

Hello all,

I must say that this forum is certainly easier to navigate than the Paris users forum (I can't seem to access the newsgroup or search functions!) and I certainly appreciate much of the information that has been given thus far.

I recently had a very talented young musician complete a recording appreticeship with me for the last 4 or 5 months. I see a lot of posts from people wanting to learn and trying to decide the best way in, school or the street. I learned from reading and doing. Maybe things were different back then, I don't know.

As this is a new forum, I might as well introduce myself. And hopefully all other Radar Forum atendees will present themselves as well!

Are people still buying Passive Monitors or are Active Monitors the clear choice these days? Any retailer type folks have any experience of the difference in buying patterns from last year to this year fro active speakers?

hello,
I apologise in advance for the basic nature of these questions. Up until a few years ago
I had never used a computer, and since then
it has been all PC. I don't really need a
"racehorse" computer out of the box, but I would like to know it has good upgrade possibilities.

Hi-

Wondering if anyone had any experience using the longer (60 min) ADAT tape format in XT-20's. No marking on the shell for thinner stock that I can see. Using Maxell's, which have worked great in the 42 min. length.

Thanks-

Myles
