my budget is $350 and I need a decent tube pre for recording electric guitar direct.

Hello everyone.

I am looking for feedback on the ART TCS (Twin Compressor).
I have researched the product info briefly.

Its a dual tube compressor.
On it you can choose between optical and VCA compression.
It seems to be well featured, and can be used as a DI.
It has comp knobs, plus the V3 selectable voicing like the DPS, too.

I already have the 4050 but am looking at getting the other 2, they are the edge of my prioce range 3K so icannot go any higher.

however i only really need 2 inputs (stereo from my triton) to go into my MAC/cubase

these were recommended to me from my sweetwater rep

I was just wondering what the professionals thought about the Propellerhead recording software that is availible, I dled some screen shots and the only thing I can tell you is that it looks neat lol... what do you guys think? 8)

I recently picked up a Firepod. I took a chance since I couldn't find any reviews. I had a Firestation for a while so you know why I was hesitant to buy.

Anyway, I put up a comprehensive review.

Hi Everyone,
I'm curious about the DAV BG1 pre. I've heard some great things about it, and it's not ludicrously expensive. I read elsewhere that it's absolutely glorious with a Shure KSM-44 on vocals. I hope I got the mic name right; anyhow it's the multi-pattern retro looking one.

8-) I've been researching the 1010LT PCI card and was wondering if the 96kHz will be obsolete any time soon? I thought that CDs were at 44.1 so if this is true... how long do you think it will take for producers to start at anything higher? not that it really matters to me since I'm just an independent musician... it just got me thinking before I purchase this card...

Just wanted to gently plug http://www.lovelabormusic.com. This guy's uniquely reviewing homebrew recordings from unsigned musicians, and I guess he's just starting out. Seems that if you send him your disk, he'll actually listen to it, which is something for sure.

Cheers.
