Sounds very good Lee. If i'm being brutally honest, it does have the compression shoving the mix almost beyond the front of the speakers which I don't generally favour.. but it comes across very well all the same.. Regards. Rimmer

Please help save Windows XP. Vista sucks for recording. http://weblog.infoworld.com/save-xp/archives/2008/04/save_windows_xp.html Thanks in advance. Mike You couldn't stop M$ from doing anything by 'telling them what you want'. It's not even close to their business model. Them, like MacDonalds, Walmart (we could go on and on).. only (and I mean ONLY) respond to you when you stop shopping with them.. Simple and easy to grasp.. If only all of us could realise that it's the only real vote we have left..

Loonsailor try this link it has the driver update history. If you look at the mac it definately seems like it includes total mix. I'm am not sure about ASIO drivers. That page you are looking at is definately dated. Because for the PC they don't list windows vista and the FF800 is vista compatible according to their main website. http://www.rme-audio.de/en_techinfo_content.php?page=content/downloads/en_driver_updates_readme_firewire chaeridley, yes thats exactly what the digimax is for. My Fireface 400 came with Total Mix. It is really rather hand and easy to use. Just got to remember to save your different mixes!! The Mac driver is RME written where as many FW interfaces for the Mac run with Apple FW drivers. The Mac drivers address the systems Coreaudio so the Fireface works with any audio application you use on your Mac. Nice and simple. It works too..! Rimmer

You can, but not if you are using ASIO, unless the interfaces were designed to allow you to do so. I think most devices work with Core audio on the Mac these days. I suppose the above would be a problem with older drivers? It's only quite recently that Apple OSX has allowed you to do this which was a little unforgivable really.. Works very well these days apparently.. Rimmer

Originally posted by gsHarmony I've read the same thing, although I haven't had a chance to try them out yet. If you are interested in finding more information, I would recommend www.tomshardware.com. Been using my girlfriends new iMac with a Dual core and it's very quick. Runs Windows as fast as I have ever seen it run.. Rimmer

Originally posted by GuitarPLayer61990 Thanks everybody The other thing is... we get a very homelike vibe here {censored} Why couldn't this be like a band? Any name would work then "Shabby Road"?

Originally posted by Paul J. Edwards I'm not gonna do live drums. It comes with like 100 beats and able to use others on a CD. The effects are hardware based in the Black Box so there is no latency or stress on the PC. I just want down and dirty to record some ideas. I was wondering if someone has knowledge of this unit and if you can use stomp boxes with it too. I don't think it has a loop so I guess you would have to use them in line. Sounds like it's the box and interface and that's it. You can use it with ProTools M-Power.. (yawn..) which would be pretty good, but didn't see anything about it being bundled. Looks nice though. I would have killed for an ideas tool like that when I first bought my Tascam Porta studio about 22 years ago.. Rimmer

Originally posted by Mitch A I'm in the same boat. I have been thinking of getting a new matched pair of akg 414xls mics for overheads, guitars and vocals. I have a couple of questions for you 414 users. One is how much significance would you put on a matched pair for overheads (drums). The other question is what is it about the Buls version that makes it so popular. I did notice the two new versions of the 414 have one taylored to instrumental such as overheads and the other seems to be taylored to solo vocal and softer recordings. I've rarely heard a decent vocal take from a 414 although I agree that they are great great mics for many other uses. Especially overheads. Rimmer

Originally posted by J Kylez Thought I'd post this this link to provide some amusment. I finally hung up a collage of crap I've collected over the years to give it some atmosphere. I really need to clean up the wiring and swap out some of the outboard gear now.... hahah, I'll get to it soon. It works though. Actually it's been getting a lot of use lately!
