Fender mustang v2
I have had one for a few months. I purchased it for use with my band but have started recording with it. I can prity much match any of the sgear emulations but it is so much nicer playing thu a dedicated guitar amp rather than the monitors/head phones.. If they had priced the mustang at 5x the price I think people would be raving about it as a must have. I have tryed lots of amp emulators Sgear is probably the best 11 rack is ok but the mustang blows everything away.. Its just plain fun...
My live setup got a lot simpler.. 6 button foot switch wireless guitar straight to the amp.. Sweeet and simple.. As a posed to a heap of effect pedals..

The love fest is because cowboy gets pro results from an affordable setup (achievable) He is open and friendly about how he does it. Mike Shipley was a god.

This would be really surprising if its true and point towards very very bad coding in PT. Cannot see how they would have got this wrong. I cannot hear any difference on mine. What software to you guys use to do null tests?

I have a mini 2011 works great. Going to put SSD in soon. yes the mini upgrade would be great for audio...

My band uses the baby one DL 1608 love it but run out of inputs fairly quickly. Plus you cannot record (multi track) www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/DL32RWould like to know if it records the multi tracks raw before the DSP or after. It looks awsome 32 channels and 14 outs sweeeeet. Full wireless control.. GAS.

Drop one it rolled across the stage fell off onto a cement floor. After the mod I cannot say it sounds any different.

Its a complicated question because its not the sample rate that cause differences we hear but the architecture around the conversion. This is why I wish audio would stick to 48khz and build everything around that instead of having to go looking for the sweet spot on your particular interface, because of poor/lazy design or just compromises trying to allow for 44.1khz thru to infinity...

Every time somebody goes back to Nyquist theory I remind them, it's a theory not a law! There is no such thing as a science law. Everything in science is a theory (everything) and subject to change as new (per reviewed) evidence presents its self. Nyquist theory is the current one. A lot of testing has been done in the audio world and it is still the current theory. We are free to have our own options but not our own facts. (nyquist is the current fact). Our audio gear isent run on pixie fart's and spell's. Internally the convertor chips are not running at the frequency you have set. If you set your rate at 48khz your chip (most modern chips) over sample so the true sample rate is much higher. Burr brown 4 to 8x over sampling as an example. The reason 50hz was raised as a sample rate in the past was to give room for the low pass filters not so important now. If you are noticing a difference between sample rate's it is the analoge section and/or the sample rate conversion that is causing the issue. Not the sample rate... I was going to type more stuff but svart's post say's it best of all.

Don't care about the mic how good does a room full of great muso's, great room, great engineer and gear sound WOW. The problem with no money in music is this is going to become rarer and rarer. So sad.

There is no scientific evidence that sampling above 48khz has any benefit. This is why AES (yep they have a show on now) recommend 48khz. The math and the science is clear. However here's my get out of jail card some chips have a sweet spot 44.1, 48 ,96 Blind testing required because preconceived ideas influence us a lot in audio (all of us have adjusted an eq thinking we improved the sound only to find it was bypassed).
My problem is the push for higher sample rates may infact be detrimental to good conversion instead of just focussing on 30hz to 20khz. With a perfect system 44.1khz will reproduce this band exactly. We have a push on for higher sampling rate's with no scientific examples of benefits. But because the converter chips are not optimised for 30hz to 20khz we have to go looking for a sweet spot. Having a band width of 30hz to 48khz is fine if we are bats.
Rejecting interfaces just because they don't record above 48khz is very foolish IMHO.

Thanks smallbutfine. The Audio Engineering Society recommends recording at 48khz this give a bit more room for the low pass filter and in theory allows for perfect reproduction below 20khz. Sample rates above this is just a waste. I just wish all plugins where optimised to run at this sample rate. Sampling rates above this do not improve resolution below 20khz it only extends the range why I referred to a dog whistle which is around 26Khz.

Your TV doesent produce ultraviolet or infra-red. They don't have this race to have a wider spectrum than we cannot see Xrays anyone. They do want more pixels but that is so the screens can be made bigger without loosing resolution. Because its digital they want more color chooses shades of white red etc..
If you can hear a difference going higher sample rates it's a problem with the convertors and/or the plugin's. The math is sound we cannot here above 20khz. 44.1k will give us all the information bellow 20khz if you want to reproduce dog whistles you require higher sample rates. If you want to attract bees to your TV you will have to get one that has an increased spectrum..

I have been advised to add a "hospital grade" circuit - a 15 or 20A line, in conduit, run all the way from my service box to my family room, where all the action takes place. I was also advised to "re-ground" my box with a fatter, longer grounding rod. But I wonder if this would eliminate the rather bad hum picked up by anything single-coil when a refrigerator and air conditioner(s) are running off the same municipal power source. It seems that my entire house would have to be on an isolation transformer, which doesn't seem practical, or affordable. One widely-known thing I can confirm: lighting dimmers are bad bad bad for AC line hum. Insanely bad. And of course all of my overhead lights are dimmed. We work in low light these days because of it. Don't bother with the conduit. But for sure I would ran a new line and earth point. The earth rod actually shouldn’t do much as the power system is M.E.N (multiple earth neutral) at your man switch board the earth and neutral are joined together. The neutral is earthed at many points in the distribution system. But it wil not hurt to have a better earth stake. The refrigerator and ac should not cause any drama. Dimmers can be a pain in the ar;;;;;s for audio just say nooo.

2. Tightening up the screws in that outlet and every single connection back to the service entrance of the building. In a great many cases those connections have never been touched for 50 years or more. This is a good point and probably why people see a big difference going balanced power. Its probably not so much the balancing but more the new cable and low resistance joints. If you notice a difference going to one common socket that’s a sign your building mains cabling is not up to scratch. Something to remember the power supplyed to your building has gone thru a lot of transformers and most of it in 3phase balance form. The last stage to your premiss from a fairly small transformer (small in terms of the mains grid massive for us). Most of the problems 99.9% will be from your main switchboard to your equipment. The earth point/s on your building may have issues checking the connections is a good idea. Dry climates can have earthing issues even when everything looks good. Caution when tightening screws to copper conductors do NOT over tighten. If you break the copper or have stressed it so it breaks later it can create a high resistance joint. High resistance joints heat up and are a large cause of electrical fires. Lightning protection. The only use Is to see where the lightning went. The only way to stop lighting damage is to unplug your equipment. No if's or buts. 1.21 gigawatts is just going to jump straight thru your puny protectors..

NO. 99% of the time the mains is clean. A good power supply will handle small fluctuations even 1/2 good one's will be fine. However if you have dirty power welding pant next door or similar for example you may need to do something about it BUT. The only way to stop large spike's is to convert the AC to DC (battery bank) then back to AC for your gear. I use to be an electrician in an ICU where people's live depended on uninterrupted clean power this is how we did it. The backup generator kicking in could cause a spike the battery bank prevented it getting to the sensitive equipment. For audio a power conditioner will generally do nothing.

Izotope don't have a lot of fanfare they just announce a release and a few days later bang. Their plugin's have been getting better and better. Each upgrade has always been a big leap forward. If 5 has a big jump to 6 probably won't need any other mastering software. These guys are fast becoming the plugin A graders IMHO.

Oh, mrholmes, they have. My 7200rpm HDs sound a bit more aggressive in the highs, the 5400rpm ones are more of a mellow, wooden tone. Neither sounds Neve-ish. Although i prefer Western Digital. After a burn-in. The SSD is the most musical though. :-P Bullshit the SSD's are way to modern sounding. 5400rpm have that vintage sound after some mods of course.

Cannot some of the DAWs change the tempo? I am prity sure I saw a video tutorial (cubase) where they drew in a tempo slow for the verses speeding up thru the choruses. Variable click?
