I am about to buy a pair of active speakers for our rehearsal studio (18 square metres), mainly for voice and acoustic instruments to come out. (We also have drums, electric bass, sometimes guitar or keyboards but we still don't know if it would be better for all the instruments to come out of the PA speakers). I made a little research and found:
Mackie SRM 350 539euro

I recently bought a Powerbook G4 1.67 and I definitely need more CPU power so I have decided to go for a Powermac G5. I am not sure which one I should go for and I need your help. How fast is the lowest end (2.0GHz dual) G5 going to be compared to the Powerbook G4? How many more plugins, effects can I use in it? I do orchestral music too. Does anyone have any statistics?

Hey guys,

I don't post here often but I sure have gotten a lot of good info from this forum. I did a comparison of several midrange pres and recorded acoustic guitar clips that I posted on the TapeOp board in the Gear Talk section. The pres consist of Mackie VLZ, PreSonus BlueTube, PreSonus MP20, ART Pro Channel, Aphex 207, and Electro Harmonix 12AY7.

I had a post a couple of days back asking about making a choice between a PC (3.2GHz with 2Gig RAM) and a Powerbook (1.67GHz with 2Gig RAM). I already made the switch from a PC to a Powerbook and am very happy about it. Powerbook is a little slow when it comes to opening software applications but overall it functions smoothly.

Hi all,

I've made some major changes to my gear in the last few months in an effort to try something different. This leads me to the following question:

I am considering purchasing one of these mics and would like to here some thoughts both good and bad between the two.
TIA,

Hey all, okay I searched and couldn't find an answer...

the day has finally come when digi lets go of their tight ass restrictions. Anyway, I wanna get rid of my 002r and get something to replace it on the m-audio end of things (I also use DP and cant stand the core audio driver hence the need to get something else).

Can anyone with experience with these units give a non bias opinion of how they match up. Which one is better and why you have your opinion etc...Thanks guys

Is there a site that has reviews or at least comparisons of the features of some of the Digital Audio Workstations? To me make a knowlegeable selection?

I am buying a new studio. I want to be able to record a live band all playing at the same time (about 12 mics). I want to be able to occassionally fix a tuning or timimg problem (for a singer's out of tune note or a drummers late snare hit). I want to do automated mix down. I will not be doing MIDI.
