effects processors and the pshychology of gear lust
Lately I have been forcing myself to only invest in things I will use and things that are useful to me, instead of falling for sexy descriptions and flash bang ideas of lust. It's hard, but I'm trying.

The preamps I have to choose from are: Earthworks Lab 101, Drawmer 1961, HHB Classic 80, Avalon Vt 737sP, Manley VoxBox, Demeter VTMP 2B.

What gear should I use to get tracks into my computer?
I know, newbie question but heres my deal. I'm a drummer looking into offering "drum overdub" type of services. Occasionally do recording of bands, etc on site only. Currently have Soundcraft Spirit Studio 16ch board and 2 ADAT LX-20s with some other outboard gear. I bought the ADATs off EBay with less than 500 hours each and one is giving me errors and taking my tape, etc.
Question about using outboard gear with DAW
I've always used plugins in the past. I'd like to use a couple of outboard processors with Cubase 3 SX.
My question is pretty simple. Is there a way to connect outboard gear to use as track plugs without using up my 2 channels of A/D and D/A?

Easy gear that works?
I have an fw1884. I hate this thing. It's great. I have no clue how to use it. I just sent it to Tascam because I thought it was broken. They sent it right back, saying it was working fine. SO apparently, I'm doing something wrong. I can't figure this thing out very well.
I also have Cubase sx2. Cubase has never worked properly for me and doesn't play very well with the FW1884.

My mobile multitrack setup: gear and what I've learned
Hi all
I've been multitracking on my notebook for over a year now.
And seeing all the questions on this board brings back memories to when I was shopping for the right budget gear.
I got a lot of information from reading thousands of posts on this great forum and in return I would like to a add a little information myself.
Going mobile. Need help in deciding gear for powerbook.
I am a producer and even though my tracks are sometimes as many as 50, I don't record more than 4 tracks at a time (very rarely do I do 4 tracks). I record keyboards, guitars, some other solo instruments and vocals but not any instrument like a drum kit which requires more than 2 mics.
analog gear to my 002R

*one* piece of gear to mix through in my ITB studio
hello,
i have a decent InTheBox studio based around digital performer and a handful of, what i feel, are quality plug ings (UAD-1, Sony oxford, URS)... however, i've been talking to friends of mine about the difference in ITB bouncing down a final mix... vs. outputting the mix into a piece of analog and back into a digital recorder.
