But seriously, a fully passive summing box can be DIY'ed for about $20-$150
(depending on the features and # of channels you need), and then you can
use whatever flavor of mic pre for gain makeup. On a scale of 1-10 in difficulty,
this job is a 1.5.

well... digi settings now say sync again... but i have working adat modules
on mec2.

i don't hear anymore pops. spdif is pretty stable... every 45 seconds or so
it blinks to 48k and back to 44k.

so since i am hearing no more pops... the "sync" term means its good? what
does lock mean then??

thanks again Dave!

Jeremy

> I need a "stack!"Hi Greg,

You might want to consider additional microphones and a high quality mic
preamp. The AT4033 is a good large diaphragm condenser but you'll likely
also want a good small diaphragm condenser and some type of dynamic mic (i.e.
Shure SM57) as well. Neumann, Shure, AKG, and many others make good quality
small diaphragm condensers. Some of the better Chinese mics also sound very
good, especially on acoustic guitar.

I won't even venture a recommendation on a mic pre as it's about as personal
as Mac vs. PC, favorite football team, greatest rock band of all time, etc.
If you're recording a lot of rock-style you'll likely want something that
gives you the "Neve" sound. Also, it's nice to have a tube pre for alternate
tonal coloring.

Hope this helps!

Mark

Oh, an "eight ball" is an eight ounce of illicit substances--usually a white
powder. A friend of mine who is really into fusion drummers will always say
after listening to [fill in blank of fusion guys who made rock records] "Wow,
how many eight balls did it take to make that solo?"

Good show with Pele.

Seriously, you've got a great start on a nice setup. I was a PARIS user a
long time ago and you're going to love the way it sounds, and Sonar is a
vastly underrated program. You might want to look into the Native Instruments
B4 for organ sounds and maybe a sample instrument for piano, but I think
you'll have plenty of fun usin gwhat you have.
