years that worked correctly or was sonically worth using in the studio. It
is called an Ultramatch Pro and I'm using it as a D/A converter right now.
It says it does about 33822876 things. I don't know about that, but it
definitely works as a D/A converter as long as it isn't locked to my house
clock. Luckily it's locked to the AES output of my Mytek converter which is
feeding clock to the rest of my studio so in this case, it's a happy
accident. It doesn't do exactly what I want (I'd have to get two of them to
actually accomplish something done the *normal* way), but it's an acceptable
kludge for the moment. Maybe you'll get lucky. I will say this........their
tech support personnel are all very nice folks. I probably spoke to all of
them when my little fader control thingie went south and tried to take my
Cubase rig along with it.
The D/A converter sounds good but I've got th

Hi DJ,
You have definitly had terrible experiences with Behringer stuff, but mine
has been the opposite. I've had a Mic-502 dual mic pre for nearly 10 years
without any trouble at all. I've had an original composer since they were
first released - no trouble.
I recently added an ADA8000 and one of their single rack space line mixers
- both no problem.
I've done a whole bunch of live recording with the ADA8000 and the line mixer
strapped to an ADAT, and the quality has been fabulous.
There was a review of the ADA8000 in which someone strapped the outputs to
the inputs, crainked the gain to 100%, and then claimed that the whole unit
was too noisy, among other things. In normal use for me, it has been perfect.
The mic pres sound really good - not all bright and tinny like Macky or
Presonus pres, which I hate. The line inputs are so good that they actually
sound better with a guitar plugged directly into them than the DIs we had
on stage. The thing rocks.
It's kind of funny, but I've found as I get better at this recording gig,
I'm less obsessed with gear than I used to be. Not that gear lust can't
be fun or lead to a better end product, but I used to "chase a sound" thinking
that it was the gear that was 100% responsible. It clearly isn't. The choice
of mic placement, eq use, reverb type, and compression settings are the main
drivers of good sound. It's not that the gear doesn't matter, but I've found
that if you use your ears instead of reading price tags, you get way better
results for way less money.
Having said that, I'm moving towards using external, analog compressors because
I'm just not satisfied with the DX stuff. But, I won't be buying any $2000
compressors or a UAD 1. The composer sounds awesome, and you can get used
ones for $50. I've also heard that the old Alesis compressors can sound
really good if you replace the power supply with something that can actually
handle the unit.
And, the DP4's "early reflections" algo sounds wonderful, too. I have a
lexicon MPX1, but I hardly ever use it. The DP4 gets used on everything.
The C3000 I bought 8 years ago is one of my favourite mics. It goes for
$150 used. Yes, it's a little noisy, and it needs more EQ than the C1 to
work on acoustic guitar, but sounds 1000 times better than a C1 when you
know what to do with it.
We are so lucky to live in a time when great stuff is dirt cheap. Why fight
it?
All the best,
Mike

Pro seems to be OK and hopefully I've finally found something
by Behringer that works.
I have no problem using inexpensive gear. I've got inexpensive Rode, Oktava
and Studio projects mics that sound great. I also have a pair of RNC's that
are very useful. Overall though, I've found that with few exceptions, I tend
to get what I pay for as far as $$$ vs quality goes.
I've got some Chinese SE Electronics mics here on loan right now that sound
absolutely great........but they're not really super inexpensive
(unfortunately). The Gemini is definitely in the big leagues. The verdict is
out on the Titan. I'm liking it on some stuff, not so much on other stuff,
but this is the case with lots of high-end mics as well. The build quality
on these is not cheap at all. They are much less expensive than some of the
mics that they are being compared to so the bang for the buck factor is
pretty substantial.
Not a gear snob......just been bitten a few times by Behringer. I have also
heard great things about the Behringer 8000 unit.
My problem here is that I live in a cave in the wilderness and have to
trudge 10 miles barefooted through 20' of snow and fight off packs of
ravenous wolves to get to my mailbox and I have to order everything online.
There is no brick and mortar store that carries this stuff within 250 miles
of me so when I wait all week for a piece of gear that I need and it
arrives, doesn't work properly and I have to spend lots of time
troubleshooting it to determine why I can't just hook it up and expect it to
work, suddenly I've wasted lots of my time and so the money I've saved,
wasn't saved at all and I could have spent a little more and gotten
something with good QC and some expectaion of reliability.

>Hi DJ,
Man, that really sucks having that kind of luck with Behringer gear given
how much of a hassel it is for you to return it. And that fire is scarry.
I make a special effort to never leave the house with my rack left on since
reading your post about that. I would feel the same way as you do if I'd
had those expereiences.
To a point, I agree that you usually get what you pay for. I have a Neumann
103, and I would never even think of using anything else on vocals. It's
worth every penny. But, it comepletely sucks on accoustic guitar.
The DP/4 was freakin expensive in its day, too. So, while a DP/2 is now
a killer deal, it was high end stuff at the time.
I should qualify my enthusiasm for the C3000. I had to mod it slightly.
It comes with a built in pop filter, which is just a coating that is sprayed
on to the diaphragm. I peeled it off, and things opened up a lot.
I live 30 minutes outside of Toronto, so I've got a much easier time returning
things that don't work or selling things I don't like. I just sold my C1
and an MPX500 - good riddans to both. Anybody want to buy a PCM60?
I feel that the gear industry takes advantage of people who are learning
by hyping gear as necessary for a great sound when older, cheaper gear will
do just or almost as well. A while back, I decided not to spend any more
money on gear unless I was 100% sure that the probelm was my gear and not
how I was using it. My skills have improved immensly since then. I suspect
that you are actually past that and pushing beyond. We're probably just
at different stages.
Having said all that, I would love to check out the compressors in a UAD1.
I just don't want to pay for them. :)
All the best,
Mike

Did anyone watch "Father of the Pride" when it was on? At first I
thought it would be lame, but it was really sharp, really funny,
really full of inside entertainment and Vegas humor.
In one episode, Larry (the father, voiced by John Goodman) is
standing on a bluff overlooking Highway 15 leaving Vegas with another
animal. They're trying to figure out how to get across, since traffic
is extra heavy.
Larry: "Look at all that traffic. Oh, it's 10:30. That means a show
just got out, and it's probably Celine Dion, which means that they'll
all be tired and cranky."
I love lines like that.

Hehe. Indeed. Don't Suppose they have one called "la rue de la soif éteinte"?

I wonder could I just add a DA-converter(any brand) to the A-dat output and

Unfortunately I still haven't heard back from Chuck on the No Limit plug,
which I paid for using pay pal last Monday. Does anyone have an alternative
e-mail address / contact details? Alternatively - I'm not sure how copy protection
works here - perhaps someone could e-mail me No Limit. I have paid for it,
and have a copy of the Pay Pal receipt... I just don't have the plug in.
Thanks for any assistance.

Im a guitarist, never owned a keyboard, cant play one and dont really plan
on learning how to play. Im just looking to get something I can tinker with
and get some cool sounds out of. Either for weird effects or just adding
ambience or filler type stuff to tracks. Im not really into messing around
with soft synths so whatever I get should come with alot of sounds built in
though the ability to access external sounds would be a plus. My budget is
around $400 or less.
What would you guys suggest to fit my needs?
Thanks in advance!Find a cheapo controller and a used Roland JV-1010 half rack. Those make
pretty decent sounds, are expandable and should be right there in your price
range.

>I've had quite good luck with both of my ADA8000 units. I bought one
thinking "cheap utility preamps" and liked it enough to pick up a second
one. I agree, Behr has some real serious quality control issues, but
generally if you get a good one, it's a good one. Not stellar, mind you, but
I digress at this point. I had a 2442 mixer that was a flaming pile of crap
on the other hand... muting channels would not only change whether I had a
60Hz hum or not, it would change the volume and pitch of it depending on
what channels saw the mute action. Avoid that mixer, IMO.

This one is 303's... situated in between the "Northcote Social Club", a
much talked about band venue that's suddenly become very popular, and a "Lamb's"

And just a short walk down the road is the Wesley Anne, and apparently an
old church converted into a bar. There's a beer garden out the back, and
two rooms, both of which look a bit like the one pictured, one with bands
and the other with the bar in it (shown)...

I've heard good things about those for the money, and it's probably well
suited in that you get a selection of good sounds from a company very experienced
in the field, and it will be full of useful presets rather than having to
mess with programming to get the sounds you want.
Would probably be easier though if you could find an actual keyboard "all
in one" solution though I guess.
Cheers,
Kim.I vote for Northcote, because you said you can get a house
there, and therefore have a slightly more proper recording
environment.
Plus that 2nd place looks like a good spot to get laid as a
result of going to lol

what about one of those newer mini-Alesis thangs like the
Micron... do those sound any good for what he's talking about?
I noticed they cruise in around $399 street (new).

Yeh, I'm fast settling on Northcote, which is a shame because it means no
beach, but things exactly like that are very relavant. If I get a house I
will have far better chance of getting away with some noise, far better chance
of getting some quiet, and far more space...

;o) It was for sale I think. Not sure it's there any more... ;o)JV1010 + controller gives great bang for the buck, but is a used
Roland XP30 much more? You get more sounds and power and expansion
capability. Love mine (and I have them both!).

It's definitely hit or miss with Behringer. I had a 2442 that never
gave me problems. I'm now running a 32 cheannel Eurorack that will
consistently lock up if on for over eight hours. All it takes to
address it is a power cycle but...QC seems to be elusive to them

So this would be St. Mattress cathedral?There are definatly some mecs with noisy fans and some with quiet ones. I
always thought the mec fans were really quiet but have seen some posts about
problems with noise.
Yesterday, I had a power switch on my mec 2 decide to go bye-bye. I have
a spare mec for just such an occasion. I pulled the mec and switched out
5 in/out/adat modules to the spare mec. (which I'd to this point never used).
I switched it on and was rewarded with a hi-pitched wine (about the same
as a not so quiet athlon heatsink fan). crap!!!!!! so this is what people
talk about. There are definatly different fans used.
Luckily, the fan is pretty easy to replace....just pull the side off the
mec that has the fan. I was able to take the fan out of the mec with the
bum power switch and swap it out with the noisy one. All is good now. This
of course happened when I'm swamped and running behind...at least there were
no clients here at the time.
The quiet fan is made bu "Panflow" and the noisy one is made by
"Jamicon"
Now I just need to pick up a nice panflow and find a power switch to get
my other mec up to spec.
:-)
RodI had an Ensoniq MR76 for years. Cool keyboard. Lots of good sounds. The
midi implementation with computers was a nightmare because it was structured
around using it's own proprietary sequencer, but if you're just wanting
something with lots of cool sounds, the best drum machine I've heard in a
long while and 76 weighted keys, the MR76 (or ZR 76) is a cool tool. Also,
the MR Rack rocks also. I've got one here that I'm using with a Keystation
88 controller. Much more computer friendly this way.

Interesting,
I'll have to check mine, It makes virtually no noise at all.
dbInteresting session last night. Very talented players. Showed up fresh and
well rehearsed. I had spent a fair amount of time setting up for this with
two mic'ed bass amps and a bass DI (using a Little Labs STD and a Radial
Engineering JX2 Switchbone) and various mics set up for upright bass,
mandolin, guitar, vocals and dobro. All in all there were 9 active mics and
within 2 hours we had the better part of 6 songs in the can.
Then a bunch of their *friends* came by and so it was break time. When they
got in from the break they were so zoned that we spent the next 3 hours
trying to get 2 songs properly tracked. Never happened. Sloppy crap that
they will never be happy with, so their little *break* cost them a fair
chunk of change. My billing doesn't stop for this, but there was *grumbling*
about it because they weren't happy with how the second half of the session
went.
If I hear any more of this *grumbling* shit tonight, I'm going to throw them
out on their collective asses.
DJI am totally with you on this one... no sympathy at all for them. I

>>Hi Chas,
It's an old Roland chorus (rackmounted) with excellent stereo imaging.
Mine died a few years ago. Wow... like six... time flies! I had it
for a looooong time. It can be used subtly or obviously in a variety
of ways - to add some space or as an effect. Mainly used it on
guitars. This piece is not the same as the "Dimension ___ " stomp
box.
It will be interesting to hear UAD's emulation. I feel they did very
well with the plate.
Peace - Don

Kind of funny to be in the middle of that book when the 'Payola' Settlement
happened.

Is this book concidered "the thruth" about the buisness or...?
Any netforums or something that discusses it?

>>Hmmmmm............I'm getting ready to install my 4th UAD-1 card. I get a
credit toward other plugins so I could probably get this for just about

the other day asking about hat users would want and the LA-3A was on that
list. I may hold out for that.
