I've wanted one of these bad boys for a long time! What can I say? Its and Eventide! One of the coolest effects processors ever! From my understanding it will not do 2 effects at a time (say huge hall panned right and distortion panned left) like some processors do. But this guy has been around since the 80's (my favorite era for music) and has been used on countless records. It has about 700'ish presets. It has stereo in and out by XLR as wells as midi in/thru/out. I love it! I just hope my wife doesn't find out how much i paid for it! ;o) UPDATE I've updated the EPROM chips to H3500 "everything" and have a total of 1000 presets. This thing is just unbelievable! I love it! I hear people mention that its only 16 bit but that's CD quality for crying out loud! LOVe it!

This is really a great delay pedal. It sounds great and is easy to program presets or algorithms. I like being able to split the left and right delay signals. Its a great compliment to the Eventide Space pedal. Lots of fun.

Simply one of the greatest reverb /effects pedals ever!

Autolocation and Transport Control for up to 16 ADATs The Alesis BRC Master Remote Control adds a set of powerful creative and operational tools to your ADAT or ADATXT digital recording system. It provides SMPTE, MIDI, and Video synchronization, digital editing, and a full-function multi-machine autolocator with an onboard memory. The BRC is the only device that allows you to control up to 128 ADAT tracks from one location, either table top mounted, in a studio rack, or on an optional roll-around stand. Another BRC function that can't be found anywhere else is the ability to edit and assemble your songs using bars and beats. Other features include sample-accurate auto punch in/out and rehearsal modes, 460 Location points with 8-character alphanumeric names, full control of Track Delay (up to 170 ms per track), Tape Offset between multiple recorders, SMPTE Offset and Generation, MIDI Tempo Maps and Clock Generation, and MIDI Machine Control. More than just a remote control, the BRC is a SMPTE time code synchronizer, allowing ADATs to chase-lock to time code from video or analog recorders. SMPTE offsets may be set to single sample (1/48,000th of a second) accuracy. You can select ADAT's tape time, SMPTE time, or bars and beats as a display reference. All BRC settings and memories may be stored digitally on the data header of each ADAT tape for quick recall at any time. When you need to bring your ADATs together into a complete, fully-professional system, the BRC is the ultimate in digital audio recording control.

This is a 24 channel 24 bit 96kh hard disk recorder by non other than Alesis! This recorder will give you up to 24 track of digital quality recordings. It comes with two hard drives that can be switched out and has two drive bays. Its menu is very easy to navigate. It sounds really good!

Its blue and it just sounds fantastic! I might add that is PLASTIC! But when I play the AN1X I fall in love with it again and again. You can spend hours on end playing this snyth. It has a huge " fat" sound to it. It really sounds great for a digital analog synth!

If you're looking for endless sustain or even Ebow like effects look no further! This kit is powered by a 9v battery. It has 2 modes (Standard and Harmonic). You get unbelievable harmonics when in harmonic mode. I use it mainly in the standard mode for Ebow like effects using chords instead of a single note. If you've never played a sustainer pickup set go check it out! It may not be for everyone but it can definitely give you creative ideas for writing. NOTE: If you are considering installing one of these bad boys in your guitar there's quite a bit of using wood tools (router) and some soldering. If this intimidates you Id take it to a shop and get them to do it.

Very nice microphone! I use it on everything! Its a multipattern 1" diaphram condenser mic. It sounds really nice especially for the price!

the Mackie Analog 8 bus series was found in almost any studio that was serious about getting quality without taking out mortgage. This is a very reliable console ( with the exception of a few have ribbon cable issues in early production runs). I still use mine for recording and love it. Now I'm not saying its a Neve console or anything... but it does a great job at a fraction of the cost.

We all hear the occasional "blah blah blah" about Behringer products. I have to say this 24 channel mixer has been great! It's pretty quiet and the preamps aren't half bad. It has 4 stereo buses and stereo out. I thought the built in "talk back " mic was pretty cool. I mainly used this for drum tracking but I was really impressed with the Eurodesk mx2442a. Now Im not saying its as good as Neve by a long shot. But I got some really great recordings this this guy. I had mine for several years and have had no issues what so ever. SPECS 24 microphone/line inputs; 16 mono, 4 stereo 4 subgroups with independent pan pots, separate soloing, main mix switches, and inserts 16 high-quality mic preamps with +48V phantom power and switchable low-cut filters 3-band EQ with semi-parametric mids and lo-cut 4-band stereo EQ 6 master aux sends with gain controls and soloing function 2 multifunctional stereo aux returns with individual pan controls, solo and routing switches Talkback mic Individual outputs for main mix, control room, and headphones Versatile headphone and talkback section BNC connector for gooseneck light External power supply

I've played several music man sting rays/ sterlings and such and have to say that this bass is the closest you'll probably get without dropping $1k plus! By all means if you have the cash get the stingray or sterling. But this bass won't leave you disappointed. Its has the same feel and weight and balance, and that huge, wonderful, active pickup. It sounds darn good too! Its a very playable bass. The only difference is you don't have a control knob for the mid range. But with good EQ levels ( on the guitar and amp) this thing will rock your face off! I love it. I think they go for around $400 usd. Great bass!

The TASCAM FW-1082 Audio/MIDI Interface and Control Surface from TASCAM and Frontier Design Group not only provides tons of audio and MIDI I/O to small studios, but offers a control surface with moving-faders for a previously unheard-of price. The FW-1082 features 10 inputs, including four balanced XLR mic inputs with phantom power. Two MIDI inputs and outputs are also included, plus S/PDIF digital I/O. Eight channel strips each feature a 60mm touch-sensitive moving fader and select/solo/mute buttons, and a moving master fader is also provided. The FW-1082 includes Cubase LE 96kHz/48-track recording software. The FW-1082 is a great choice for small studios, whether someone is just starting out or if they're upgrading their equipment. Its four microphone inputs, two with analog insert jacks, have phantom power for professional condenser microphones. Four additional line inputs and a S/PDIF stereo input add up to 10 inputs simultaneously, each at 96kHz/24-bit audio resolution. Two MIDI inputs and outputs are provided for 32 channels of MIDI synth playback or control. The control surface has nine 60mm touch-sensitive moving faders for silky-smooth control over channel level, pan or aux settings. Four encoders are also available for mix control, as well as transport and jog/shuttle controls. Stereo monitoring is included, and the FW-1082 even mixes signals internally for stand-alone use.

It also works as a HUI control surface and MIDI interface for Digidesign Pro Tools.

I absolutely love this cello! This is the second cello I've owned. When I played it it just sounded beautiful (not necessarily my playing,THE TONE! haha). The neck very comfortable and the set up was pretty good! The only thing I didn't care for is the aluminium tailpiece and wonky fine tuners. I ordered an ebony tailpiece with top notch fine tuners and have fallen in love with this thing, It hold tune very well!

The SV-130 is a bright and wonderful violin! I love the way this little guy resonates when I play other instruments in the same room! It's very well made but you may have to take it to a Luther and have them set it up properly. It holds tune very well and is a pleasure to play! Hand-carved solid spruce top, and-carved solid maple back, sides, neck and scroll.

This little guy is a monster for such a tiny sequencer! Its very easy to program and has some pretty decent sounds. I personally like the electronic drum set on this thing. Its very forgiving when programming and can even run on batteries ( last maybe 3 hours non stop programming). Its also nice that it can easily sit on top of a synth while in use. Really cool. I wish it would have had a lighted back display and an option for file storage besides the data filer for PC. But if you can find one for cheap they're lots of fun!

PT is the de facto standard among studios. Yes, PT is very rich in cool and useful features. Yes, with version 9 Avid has finally un-crippled Pro Tools so that it works with any interface and unlocks features previously available only to users of their dedicated-hardware TDM version (of course these features and the ability to work with any interface have generally been available in competitors' products). But the sad truth is that the big studios that use Pro Tools use it on Mac-based systems with tens of thousands of dollars worth of specialized TDM hardware, and they have service contracts with technicians who keep it configured and running smoothly. As a PC user running PT9 on native hardware, I have found Pro Tools to be extremely buggy. I installed PT clean on a new PC, and followed the (several pages of) hardware guidelines for setting up the box so that PT would be happy. I am using a new Avid interface. The virtual instruments I use are limited to either Pro Tools Instrument Expansion (PTIE) and Native Instruments Komplete (the latter of which never hangs or crashes under other hosts). Nonetheless, I have experienced frequent crashes and hangs. In particular, I can reliably expect that when I close PT down and try to restart it I get a message the "Pro Tools did not close properly and your system will need to be restarted." Likewise, Pro Tools intermittently fails to recognize my licenses for PTIE's Structure, and will crash if I open up too many virtual instrument tracks. Users who have invested in a 64-bit system should be aware that PT9 is a 32-bit product, by the way. If you just want to learn Pro Tools, then getting PT9 for the PC is an OK choice. But if you really want to use it you may have to get a Mac (I can't absolutely vouch for this, but on the DUC message board I do not see Mac users complaining about these things the same way PC users do).

I was pretty excited to get a good deal on this bundle of wire! The SEISMIC AUDIO 12 Channel 25' XLR Snake Cable with 1/4" connectors. There are a couple of things you should know before buying! First of all It's plastic. I mean EVERYTHING is plastic with the exception of the Nickel xlr's and housing (bottom & sides are metal). And the cabling to the XLR is pretty thin. I had serious doubts. I plugged it in and everything was fully functional. It even sounds good! No hiss or signal degradation. I have had this for about 2 years and do at least 20 hours a week of recording with it. That being said, I think its okay for studio or indoor use. But there's no way in H*ll this would stand up to touring rigs or high traffic areas! I could have spent more and got a "higher quality" snake. But I've delt with Seismic Audio customer service dept. and they were always great (send extra parts for free). It works pretty well (especially for the price) but you might consider other cables as well.

The Boss Dr Sample 202 was supposedly designed for loops and DJ's on a budget. It's a big brick of plastic! It offers four low quality sample rates, from 31 to about 4 kHz, providing 20 to 260 seconds of sample time via built-in microphone, Mic or Line inputs. Each Pad to which you assign your samples can have user-selectable sampling rates in order to maximize sample time. It has six built-in effects including Pitch Shift, Filter 1 & 2, Time Stretch, Delay, and Ring Modulation.All really fun to play with! An innovative BPM function calculates the BPM from the sample length for easy loop/BPM syncing. The sampler can be battery powered, and originally came with lots of sampled loops and one-shots to get you going. This was always a fun and easy to use sampler! I once even sampled one of our friends talking in their sleep with it! I loved that it was portable and easy to use. You can still find them on Ebay every now and then but dont count on much sample storage (even with the hard to find 5v SD card). I really liked that you could run any audio into it via RCA connections and use the filters and such. Fun to have around if you can find it for cheap! Not a bad little sampler at the time it was issued.

I have several of Shure's SM57. They're always reliable and you can record almost anything with them. A must have for any studio!

I wasn't sure about this set of MXL550/551 when i first got it. But I admit they have grown on me. They're pretty good at micing acoustic guitars, cellos, and violins. And I've even used them on vocals a couple of times. They seem to sound great on female vocals ( IMO). You can usually find these guys pretty cheap. Give 'em a go!
