br /> However, $25 a month for 500mb is cheap, IMO, to send files securely with
reasonably fast download speeds. Considering it can scale up or down to your
needs at the moment, it's not a bad deal....

by the way, that is a 500mb file size at a time you can load onto the
server, That is not a monthly use limit.

However, If you guys come across something cheaper, faster, more reliable
and easier to use, I'd love to know about it. Seriously.

Funny, I must have heard your call.. ;-) I've been amazingly busy this
summer, plus I had a couple computer failures, so I haven't checked in here
for some time. I did manage to hit the chat a couple times, but nobody else
was around when I was there...

Well, I've been working with Darwin for a couple years, so this won't really
change much for me. Basically, it just takes a recompile. I'm actually
hoping that I'll be able to pick up a G5 for cheap when the intel stuff
ships...

The PC version? Interesting thought... Rumors abound. We'll have to wait
and see...

http://www.parisfaqs.comNot on Marshalls, but a pair a screaming Deluxe
Reverbs and also a pair of AC30's. Sounds great :)

These have been going mostly through Vintech X73's...

>i have a pair of Langevin Am-16's which sound pretty damned nice.
They were set up with a P/S with phantom and gain controls and hook up with
xlr to 1/4"balanced cables, now when I use em right in to say a DBX 160x
or direct in to paris they sound great.
If I put them in a patch bay they sound tiny, like a cell phone. SO tonight
I tried it stright in to an RNLA (not yet sold on this), and it did the same
thing. would this be a problem of impedence matching? ir is is an issue of
balanced VS unabalenced?

The strange thing is that when you patch these direct into paris via the
same patch bay, there are no issues.

Ihow is the FRM stuff used with say the balanced outs of a Great River?\

Could I get a pair of unbalanced cables for the AM-16's and do it that
way?Well, Bob Clearmountain had this to say about his Apogee Mini MP mic pre ..
"This thing Rocks!"
I'd also love to try one after that recommendation
