First off, great site! I've learned so much from you guys just by reading posts. Ok, so I have a fairly decent, but low budget home studio consisting of an Alesis Studio 32 board, 2 Fostex D-90s, and a whole bunch of outboard gear.

I need some suggestions for recording 2-track live feeds, or for capturing sound-effects. Something under $800.

I'm shopping for a box that will allow me to transfer tracks off my 8-track reel into a software program like Cubase SX or Samplitude (both of which I am demoing) for mixing.

Deos anyone have any good recommendations for a good surface controller for Nuendo
Thanks
Ed

Can anyone recommend a good (and not excessively pricey) control surface to use with Nuendo?
Thanks!
Ed

I am a singer/producer/musician with A PT home studio. My band has almost finished an album and we are preparing to play it live. I am extremely uptight about vocal sound quality and I am looking for some suggestions for vocal equipment for live use. Of course, I will also use this equipment in the studio.

Hi

I'm planing to make this DAW, so I wanted your honest opinion :

I am running a digi 001 through my Mackie mixer. My next step is to upgrade my preamps, because I don't have a lot to compare to, but we all know the reputation for Mackie preamps.

The kind of stuff i do mostly is rock (distortion guitar), but I need to do a range of things including acoustic guitar.

What would be the best stereo preamp option for around $1000?

Supposing one had about $1000 to spend on a preamp (preferably 8 channels), what would you recommend?
