In this day and age, is it better to invest in DAW plugins or in rack gear? I was browsing the Sonnox site and they are so expensive. My problem is that I know that the plugins will eventually become obsolete, require upgrading etc. Is it a better long term investment to get external gear? Is it better value to get software?

A few months ago I purchased a Lexicon reverb unit. It's sound is exactly what I want in reverb, it's perfect for my music. The problem is that my mixing environment is digital ("in the box"), and I can't apply the Lexicon reverb to every intrument the way I do inside Cubase.

Hey everyone.
I'm look for a means of capturing a single voice from an individual who uses a wireld headset mic. The frequency range is somewhere between the 700 -900 Mhz range. not sure of the mic brand but the receiver is a Shure so you get the idea of what is transmitting.

Hello. I have Nord Lead X2 and Fireface800.
Only problem is, i'm a total noob.
Till now i just conected NL outputs to FF inputs and record. But on one other forum they told me I'm doing it wrong. Like i need DI box and stuff like that...
So yeah, how to record?
What input level to choose? +4 dBu or -10 dbV?

its a simple question =)

Is it better to record guitars with hardware delay like Boss Giga-delay or add software delay after the recording is done.

... Thanks in advance

SO what are the Pros and Cons on using hardware vs software processors and f/x ?

My wife wants another snare stand to practice with. It's not like this is a moving part or anything, so I may just go with something relatively cheap. But I hate cheap hardware, so I thought I would fish for comments on a good snare stand. Throw in other comments about who makes the best drum hardware: cymbal stands, HH, kick pedals, etc.

This is something I am looking for currently. A multitrack recorder with digital I/O and a sequencer to do production with. It needs to be able to record and replay via a multitrack digital interface such as USB or FireWire or eSATA. It also needs to have some type of control signal system, anything but 7-bit MIDI CC, for recording automation in a host program.
