I'm thinking about purchasing Digidesign's LE rack. I have a bunch of outboard gear (ie EQ, Compression, etc). I've looked on the back for aux in's and didn't notice any. Does it work well with outboard analog gear.

Alright, I currently have among other things, an Alesis Studio 32 and A Eureka pre with B/B's. The Alesis is perfect, except I'm not happy with the pre's. But for routing, ins/out etc. perfect. The Eureka sounds good to me, especially as a DI.

Hey guys

I plan to have 2 UAD-1 cards with a full compliment of plugs,,,

my question is, with the quality of plugs these days, would it be redundent to spend money on outboard compressor and EQ ?

i'm starting to get pre buyers remorse of buying two things for one job

thanks for the feedback

A couple of weeks ago I received my Apogee AD-16X from mercenary. In a week or so I'll be ordering the DA-16X. I hear a lot in the forums that engineers like to record everything as unprocessed as possible so when its time to mix they'll add the compressors, EQ, effx, etc. I plan on mixing "Outside the box" by using a SPL Mixdream Summing device.

How are these outboard recorders w/multi tracks software like below? There are couple I looked at online below.
The Digidesign comes with Pro Tools SE. I have the cheapest of the cheap. .SB LIve and Power Tracks Pro now. I wanted to get more Plugins so rather pay that cost someone suggested just get entire new software.

All.

Are there any outboard EQs that are recommended specifically for acoustic guitar? I'd need two channels (stereo or twin mono).

I already have the pres I need so am looking for EQ only.

LMK.

Hi guys, hope you can help me with this one. I am posting this same psot on different forums so bare with me.

I got these Nady model 250 50/50w biamped near field monitors from my home recording studio. They sound very muddy to me. If I EQ down the base up to 160hz and raise up the treble, they sound better. Problem is, I drive a 2nd pair of JBL speakers off the same audio output (Sound card on PC) and the JBLs sound great to my ears(full size passive JBLs with Yamaha 100W amp.)

Hey guys. I do all my recording through a crappy little M-Audio mobile-pre. Well, my mom bought me a 4 channel mixer for christmas. This is nice, but I'm wondering if I really need it since I basically do all my EQing on my DAW with Adobe Audition. Right now, the only benefit I can see to having it is that it has 4 mic inputs, which would be nice to have when I need to record some drums.

Hi,
