Maybe because I have heard it so much that its starting to sund ok to me but sometimes I prefer the drum module over the actual drummer. I actually like some of my sequenced drums better than what...

Earthworks Mic Pres w/ 2 Dragonflys, Apogee Convertors. Problem Solved.

If you position the mics correctly, you will capture an entire ochestra, no problem. There is no need to have 8, 12, 24 mics...

Hi Ted,

I wouldn`t say I like the 103 better than the 87 but for the price, you get alot more mic for $700. I used the 87 for my voice and I must say I can not see the point in spending $2000 for...

Hip Hip Hooray

Now I`ll stop getting those silly emails.

The next Question of the week:

Due to the lack of responses for these questions, how affective and helpful are these questions?
Are these question of the weeks really that successful?
...

OK, heres a question for the week question.....

How affective/interesting are these questions of the week? Due to the # of responses it doesn`t seem like many people are getting much out of them....

What kind of gear do you have? Monitors? Out board gear? Etc...

You seem to have a unique situation. Most people complain about muddiness. You seem to need some. :)

From what I have heard, the RNC is a great buy. I never used one though. I like the AVALON and would love to get one but I`m not crazy about graphic eqs.

For the money, the RNC is a very tempting...

I use the APHEX 107 and love it. Just for variety sake you may want to get one.
Peace,
Ernest

I have yet to check out the 207 but if its anything like the 107 I may have to get one.

The APHEX 1100 is very nice as well.

A friend of mine owns the AVALON 2022 Mic Pre that goes for $3000...

Ted-Thanks for the link. I didn`t realize it was a Blue Series Unit.

Its difficult to take a company seriously all the time when they have such a wide range of prices in their product line. Could...

Ted,
I have not heard the 786 so yes I am being a bit critical of dbx but until I hear it, I have not been impressed with their "lower" end pieces.

Michael,
The 737s are great all around pres...

I know I`m way late in this discussion but I`m surprised no one mentioned the AVALON 737s.

That is one serious tool. Anyway... I would love to hear what you have to say about the new GREAT RIVER...

I would much rather have a great pre/cheap mic combo than a great mic/cheap pre combo. As said above a good pre will give all of your mics a major boast in its performance. I own 2 AVALON 737s and...

I don`t understand why you need to purchase another recording device if you own DP3?

Save yourself some $$$ and just purchase another hard drive and regularly back up your sessions.

It makes no...

Too bad you went the PC route. (Never understand that)

I would have suggested the following:

MAC G4 ($1800)
MOTU 2408 / Audio Suite ($1000)
Digital Performer 3 ($600)

This would have cost...

Great Monitors for a Hundred Bucks FLAT

1 Go to RadioShack and Purchase the Following:

RCA/Optimus 40s ($30/pr.)

RCA SA-155 Integrated Stereo Amplifier ($60)

Necessary cables ($10)

If you have $2000 to spend buy an AVALON VT 737 SP mic pre for $2000.

Stop wasting your time with Behringer, Radius and microphones.

In time you can step up to the U87 or (better yet) a TLM...

I may be a little late on this but what do you use as a DAW?

Waves makes great sounding plugs for the price you`re looking at. For example, i use the Native Gold Bundle and the plugs kick ass...

I`m not going to rephrase the question because you used it for this weeks question of the week.

No do I get something for free for this?
