should i bother getting an external mic preamp?

Forums

hi there I'm thinking of getting a little external tube mic preamp to "warm and fattern" up my mics sound which is used only to record vocals. the equiptment i have is a RODE nt1000 and a zoom mrs1004 digital workstation. the RODE nt1000 is quite a nice sounding mic but a little too bright so I'm looking for something to warm it up.

Using external converters w/S/PDIF or aes/ebu to soundcard

Hi all!

I'm sorta a noobie to digital recording, and I need some advice on some new equipment. I'm going to expand my analog studio to digital. Now I'm wondering what I need to look for when purchasing some sort of soundcard. I'd like to use Pro Tools (does it matter if it's LE or M-powered?), but I have Logic Pro for now.

Recording from external programs into Cool Edit Pro?

Hey,

I've been recording samples played in Fruity Loops Studio 5 (using a midi keyboard to set pitch) into Cool Edit Pro 2.1, but somewhere along the line I messed with the settings too much and CEP no longer picks up anything when I try to record. Could anyone tell me the settings I need for CEP/FL to record from one program into the other like this again?

Thanks

Open External Drives

I have just received 2 external hard drives with program from a mastering client. They are USB type drives. I've hooked them up into my system. The computer (Dell 8200 PC, XP, pentium4, 512mb RAM, 1.7 gig) says it "sees" them & installed them.

They do not show up on "my computer" though.
I do not seem to be able to open them.

What can I do next?

Using External Inserts on Mbox

Hows it goin everyone? I have been trying to understand how to use an external reverb unit using the inserts on the Mbox. Has anyone done this before? The getting started guide really doesn't tell you anything on how to set it up. If you know how to do this can you please tell me the steps I need to go through to get it working properly?
