I'm looking at different preamps for recording acoustic guitars. This looks like a serious contender. Has anyone here had the opportunity to try the LaChapell Audio 992EG? Place a couple of Royer ribbons with it and the sound is pristine. I've read this is one kick ass pre. sure looks well made.

What else compares?

Hello, 1st time poster here. I have a friend who can get me M-Audio studio monitors for a ridiculously steep discount. I've browsed the forums a bit and I don't really see anyone mentioning M-Audio very much...so I figured I'd make my own post. :smile:

Hello everybody!

Although it's installed and operational, my UAD-2 card is not being "seen" by my computer (XP-Pro). Someone mentioned that in order for the UAD-2 card to be recognized by XP, I need to modify the manner in which the computer's memory is allocated, i.e. have it allocate 3GB memory to the applications.

Does S/PDIF out disregard the sample buffer settings of an interface, and only have sample rate latency?
(e.g. 48kHz = 48sample buffer / 44.1kHz = 44.1 sample buffer)

In other words, say you have on-board sound with a S/PDIF out; If you send out a 44.1kHz audio stream to an external DAC, will the only latency be 1ms + External DAC latency?

Had a session the other night. Plugged the bass into my Avalon 737 with the Avalon set to "Instrument".
Was getting signal thru the Avalon into my board, where I set the trim to appropriate level. Recording went fine over the two hour session.
I only found out later that the bass was an "active" bass with it's own preamp circuitry. Don't know what brand.

i just recently bought a m-audio mobilepre usb preamp/interface and I'm trying to set it up on my laptop.the interface was made for win xp but i did find a win 7 update on the m-audio site, and i also downloaded the asio4all driver which would be the preffered driver. any way i can only get sound out of the right speaker .

Many people say that the most important part of an audio set up (especially the complicated DAW Pro Tools HD) is processing power. Without ample processing power, you will be left only wishing you could use the plugins you bought.

Digi designs solution is processing cards, providing 900 mhz of power each. These cards are damn expensive.

What are some of your solutions?

I'm getting mixed input from threads ive found here as well as outside sources.
up til now ive been really leaning towards getting the 2626.
i was also looking into getting the PreSonus until i heard from a friend that a friend had it
and it didnt work well with vista. not sure why, didnt really go into detail.

You cant run any of these operating systems with pro tools... it looks like to me... i have no idea, but it looks like you cant.
