Well I recently ran out of power strip space in my bedroom studio and rather than buy another one, I thought since I have major Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS for short) I might as well upgrade to a power conditioner.

Greetings -

Can anyone tell me what this connection is on the back of the Symetrix 302 (between the 1/4" Output 1 and Output 2 jacks?

Hi, I have an Omni I/O by M-Audio, and it runs analog via a 15 pin female plug, into a Delta-66 soundcard. I have purchased an iMac, so the Delta 66 card can no longer be used, but I want to keep using the Omni if I can. Is there a usb interface I can buy, that has a male 15 pin (analog) -to- a USB? ( Maybe with a battery powered processor in between to change the analog to digital?)

Any suggestions on this? I am tracking acoustic guitar with an AT-4047 and an AT2020. Both are cardiod pattern mics and I have even placed them a little above the guitar facing down so as to turn them away from the player's head, hoping they would reject the breath sounds even more but I am still getting a lot of it in the recording.

My current setup is very simple. 2 SM57 Micing guitar cab into Saffire Pro 40 Interface into Logic 8.

I'm going to be purchasing a Tascam us 144 in a couple days and i want to know what kind of speakers would be best for under like £80 or so, I'm a beginner at recording so I'm just looking for a good set, dont really know what to look for

all replies are appreciated

I'm considering one, but I have a small question...

Hi everyone,

I just bought a Creative 5.1 USB External Soundcard to get surround sound from my computer to my surround system. I noticed that the external soundcard has a microphone input integrated. I was wandering if anyone knows the quality of that input? Is it an equivalent to a cheap microphone preamp or is it as bad as plugin your microphone directly to your computers mini-jack stick?

Have you heard the AEA R44C remake of the old RCA ribbon?

Just curious on opinions as to how it compares to the latest and greatest ribbons.
